The Subliminal Sublime Poem by Denis Martindale

In mortal man, where sin yet dwells,
Across both space and time,
A miracle that God foretells
Is waiting there sublime...
The hollow portion in Man's heart,
Is where the Lord must be,
For God who made His perfect start
Still loves humanity...

When Christ was born not of man's love,
A virgin then conceived,
For Mary's faith had proved enough,
For she, the Lord, believed...
And thus from Christ, both God and Man,
Came forth new life on Earth,
According to God's perfect plan
Meant to reveal Christ's worth...

For only He, the Son of God,
Was worthy in God's sight,
For Jesus gave His sinless Blood,
Fought sin with all His might...
Enough to stay upon His Cross,
To bleed there to the end,
In truth, He died there just because
He loved you as a friend...

The risen Lord can save your soul
And fill that void within,
So that you can fulfil your role,
As you, new life, begin...
For what is life without the Lord?
What purpose does it serve?
Without Him, everything is flawed,
It lacks God's learning curve...

Yet with the Lord, the heart's made new,
The mind itself transformed,
Both for the Gentile and the Jew
When by God's Gospel warmed...
If not, each stays a criminal,
Still tainted day-by-day,
Though change may be subliminal,
It happens when we pray...

Life may be short, it may be long,
Yet sin lasts centuries,
Mankind, through it, is not made strong,
It brings us to our knees...
Yet that is how we pray our prayers,
It's how we seek God's grace,
It's how we learn that God still cares,
See Jesus face-to-face...

In prophecies and visions, too,
All flesh may still be blessed,
For dreams can change Man's point of view
And help give us God's best...
So why deny His perfect love,
As if His heart to break?
Lift up your hearts with prayers above,
Salvation's path to take...
