Christian Poetry
Poems by Thomas Bowman
Thomas writes: "I am a man greatly blessed by God. He has taken me from depression and desperation to now being able to worship Him and serve Him at Hillsong Church Cape Town. I am by God's grace a poet, actor and Toastmaster. I love God."
By Thomas Bowman
When the cloying dust
Of loneliness threatens to
Suffocate you,
Turn
your ear towards the
Sweet sound of His name.
His name is
Father.
His name is Jesus.
His name is Saviour.
His name is
Love.
When trouble seems to be
The only piece left
In the jigsaw
puzzle that is your life,
Turn your eyes towards the soft
Sweet light that
is His name.
His name is Father.
His name is Jesus.
His name is
Saviour.
His name is Love
When jagged rocks of self doubt,
Anger
and past regrets begins
A terrifying avalanche of destruction,
Turn your
hand upwards – outstretched – to His name.
His name is Father.
His
name is Jesus.
His name is Saviour.
His name is Love
Using your
ears, eyes and hands,
Give all of you to God,
And He will give you
strength, will fashion you
In clothes of love and enrobe your future
With
a cloak of gold.
Believe in Him
Amen
