Swing Wide the Gate

A crown Triquain.


Door opened
If you hear the knocking 
Your friend and your saviour standing there 
Lift the latch invite him gentle man he steps in
He will feed refresh your hungry soul
If you choose no response
Door stays closed

*

Gate stands firm
When you are in his fold
He's the gate the shephard rod and staff
Sword and shield stands against those who would  stalk the night
Even if you must stray he's the way
All who will return home
Gate swing wide

*
Open heart 
Open mind to the word
Don't ignore sin crouching  at your door
Blood covers the door posts overhead dark held back
Door of hope light revealed songs of youth
Prison gates fall like my
Once closed heart

*

Heavy veil
Over eyes blocking truth
Thick barrier between God and people
Only few can pass through seek mercy for others
Temple gates keep the crowd out to wait
Jesus died once for all
Curtain torn

*

Floodgate shows
The store room of heaven 
A wide door of service has opened
Seek and find ask receive knock and it will open
Step through the door of  faith if you would
Humble prayer will melt the
Brass heavens

  1. You've created a beautiful crown (of God's Glory) here. I like how the first and last lines of each one shift.
