To an Unknown God

Contributed by Eireannach on Friday, 21st August 2009 @ 11:55:03 AM in AEST
Topic: ChristianPoetry

Athens a beautiful city of terraces and olives,

Today I took my time and strolled
In search of beauty, knowledge old
I found from more than passing glance
That you are those who take no chance
You seek to leave no stone unturned
To put in practice what you learn
I noticed something fairly odd
A tribute to an unknown god

A true opportunity here

You worship whom you do not know
Yet it is He I've come to show
The truth of who He is, I bring
In Him we move and have our being
And toward Him He would have us grope
To give us life, to give us hope
Your poets say, His children we
As from creation we shall be

If we are His children, then
We truly shouldn't think of Him
As gold, as silver, precious stone
True worship is for Him alone
He winked at times your ignorance spent
But now commands all to repent
For He has rightly fixed a day
To judge the world His righteous way

His only Son, His chosen Man,
His choice before the world began
Will sit upon the judgment seat
And truth and justice he will mete
How will we see this come to pass?
When time's end will come at last?
He proved the truth in what He said
By raising this Man from the dead

2004 G. Rafferty

Based on Acts 17: The apostle Paul and his dialogue with the men of Athens.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
