West To East


West to East

Jehovah Rapha, balm in Gilead, Prince of Peace

Heal my mind

Throw these thoughts west to east

Unstable in all my ways, yet I’m still trying to praise

And yes I’m behind in a few scriptures and phrases

But Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom I’m handing you all my cases

I pray tranquility and peace

Throw these thoughts as far west to east

I ask that you accept me as your child

Embrace me with your love so gentle and mild

Bless me and leave me with your mark

I have on one else, for even my shadow leaves me in the dark

Jehovah Shammah, El Shaddai

Word powerful enough to give the mute a song to sing

Give the blind a chance to see what the world is offering

So I stand here in my midnight hour

Praying the guilt, the sin, and the principalities you devour

For the mind of a sinful man is death,

But the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace

Father God I decrease so you may increase

My Alfa and Omega, you raised the Lord I trust you will do the same for me with your power

Let your words slice through like a double-edged sword

You never back down nor cower

Jesus my Lord and Savior

Treat my enemies and iniquities as a feast

Throw these thoughts as far west to east

Writing poetry is my passion but I recently joined a Toastmasters club in my area and I now enjoy speech writing. I am currently working on writing a book. They say you will never work a day in your life if you do something you love, well I love writing, and that is what I pray my profession will be. No, let me correct myself, my name is Jessica and I am a writer!
