Miracle Minute Poem by Matt Decker

The countdown begins...

1: 00
The blessing of birth,
The existence of Earth -
Shouldn't these stoke my faith
In the Divine's miracle grace?

: 50
The light of day,
Each breath I take,
There's a reason
I have survived -
Hope is alive,
My hope is revived.

: 40
Like the one around Jericho long ago,
This wall too will be brought low.

: 35
Through the flood and through the fire,
No darkness can overpower,
The devil is a liar;
I am empowered and inspired
By higher power and fire.

: 25
The Nazarene calmed the sea,
He will do the same for me.

: 20
The Master snapped oppressive chains
And quenched Hell's scorching flames -
Has He changed?
He's the same.

: 10
Heaven's blessing,
Angelic protection,
The armor of God
With spiritual weapons.

: 05
Verses given,
Curses lifted,
Answered questions,
Priceless lessons.

: 00
Laws of nature suspended,
Impossibility upended.
