Denis Martindale Poems

Faith like a mustard seed, once stirred, brings grace instead of law...
So pray to hear the healing word, in Jesus Name once more...
That's how one word brings more than change, transcending all before,
Transforming lives to rearrange, so God's love can restore...
...

I'd like to think Christ's coming soon, so that He sorts things out,
Perhaps He'll come this afternoon and somehow end the doubt...
But Christians must await God's time, look forward to God's day,
Because that time will be sublime! No wonder that we pray!
...

The Rapture came, Christ's dead were raised, believers disappeared,
In Heaven, all God's angels praised, as soon as that time neared...
The world remained both stunned and shamed... and even Israel stared,
Each doubting what had been proclaimed... uncaring, unprepared...
...

What on Earth is your assignment? The reason God gave life!
The reason you were Heaven-sent, each day that you survive...
And do you call upon His Name, just like prayer warriors do?
With love like some eternal flame, God's Word to guide you through?
...

Some think that Heaven's just the sky, or sun and moon and stars,
Yet Heaven's Throne seats God most high, He rules what comes to pass...
He governs Christ, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords and more,
He governs all known living things and future things in store...
...

Oh, how precious are God's pilgrims! Each serves God day by day!
Each worships in Christ's Name with hymns as each walks on their way...
Through revelation, reaching home, to live forever more,
In Heaven, no more need to roam, presented without flaw...
...

Man's prayers were blessed in times gone by
And these made Britain great!
The Union Jack was flying high
With cause to celebrate...
...

When God created everything that Man would need on Earth,
He sought to bring it all to plan and thus to prove His worth,
That He could show His perfect love and His amazing grace,
Yet even these proved not enough, as proved by what took place.
...

When Adam sinned through Eve's advice, they both lost all they had,
For their rebellion brought its price, from then on, things went bad...
God gave a promise so sublime, redemption yet to be,
Until the fullness of that time... that time was Calvary!
...

Pink roses bloomed outside her home, the true love of my life,
Her lips as sweet as honeycomb, yet would she be my wife?
She tended roses tenderly, no wonder that they grew,
Yet if she showed such love for me, I know that I would, too.
