INSPIRED POETRY

INSPIRED POETRY

Our lead Minister, Wendy Barrow, has been writing poetry since her youth. In recent years the Lord has been downloading words to her and has prompted her to share them as an encouragement to others. We hope these poems are a blessing to you.

IDENTITY

By Minister Wendy Barrow

I am who God says I am 

But who is that?

 

Who am I?

Who does God say I am?

 

I look in the mirror and see 

Someone looking back at me

Who is that?

Who can that be?

 

After all these years 

Living with me

I still don’t know me

God, help me

Do you know me?

My identity

Am I as foreign to you,

as I am to me?

Who occupies this body?

Who occupies my mind?

Do you?

God, your Word says

You loved me first

Before I was born

 

You loved me when 

You loved me then

Before I was me

Before I saw you 

You knew me

As I search for You

As I search for me 

I find me in You

 

If I’m right and I know that I am because of Your revelation

The greater One lives in me

Allows me to be

Free

 

I am loved

Have peace and victory

COUNTING ON YOU

By Minister Wendy Barrow

I’ve prayed every prayer

Cried every tear

Done all I know what to do

 

Today, I lay down my heart

Give you my all

Dear God, it’s over to you

FROM THE BEGINNING

By Minister Wendy Barrow

God spoke 

His word came alive 

Inexistence came into existence

Invisible became visible

Abstract took form

Purpose performed

Destiny made reality

 

Because of God the master

The potter and the clay

Out of nothing came everything

His handiwork, a masterpiece for all to see

 

From earth, sun, sea to humanity

Animals and all vegetation, His creation

Each beautiful in His sight 

 

But try as we might not to, we sinned 

Messed up

Took our eyes off Him 

And the enemy slithered in

 

Eve, deceived

Adam disobeyed

But our God had a plan

 

He gave Moses the ten Commandments

And knowing we’d need more 

He sent His Son, the Holy One

 

From Mary’s divine conception, to Jesus’ resurrection

History shaping 

Ground-breaking

Life-changing

Hope defined in one man

Who walked the earth

Spread the Good News

With Him you never loose

One with the Father

Full of compassion

Jesus brought hope

Preacher

Teacher 

Revealer

Healer

Gave His life

Paid the price

A living sacrifice

That day on the cross

He saved us lost 

At unfathomable cost

His life exchanged for yours and mine 

 

It’s time 

Surrender

Let Him in

Admit your sin

Ask forgiveness

 

Once that’s done

There’s release, peace

Unimaginable joy

As a matter of fact

Because of Jesus’ selfless act

Undying love

We’re restored

One with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Together, triune, triumphant 

Creator, Saviour and Friend

Three in One and One in Three

No longer a mystery 

They in you and you in them

Sound the trumpet 

The children of God’s kingdom are marching in

BEAUTIFUL IN HIS SIGHT

By Minister Wendy Barrow

It’s not your

Body size 

Body shape
Nails that break

 

Full lips

Curvy hips
Colour of your hair

 
Dark or fair

That’s neither here nor there

He doesn’t compare 

 

Make up

Stay ups

Push ups

 

Hard abs

Soft calves

IQ

 

Type of nose

Good at prose

Unilingual

Bilingual

Trilingual

Bling

 

Snapchat followers

Famous or not

Amount on your bank account 

Just material

Temporary

Superficial

These come and go

Unlike God 

Who’s everlasting

Love

Everything good you could ever think of

 

What’s the point?

He wants you – the inner part 

Your heart 

 

Open up 

Let Him in

He’ll never leave or disappoint 

What He promises

He fulfills

 

Woman of God 

Don’t ignore

It’s time to soar
Into the woman
God created you to be
