Thunder Of The Power
Man needs power
To help those without it,
To strengthen those without strength,
To counsel those who hath no wisdom.
To declare things as they really are,
To renew deadened spirits,
To cover the naked destruction of hell.
God's gift has all power
To stretch out the universe
Over empty places,
To hang the earth upon nothing.
He binds up humidity in thick clouds
Placing boundaries on the waters
He divides the sea with his power
And He smites the proud.
By His spirit He garnishes the heavens.
He even created the crooked serpent;
But these are only glimpses of His power-
Only a portion of Him that is heard.
He has promised power to all men
After that the Holy Spirit
Has come upon them
And there will be thunder in that power-
Thunder against injustice
Immorality and crime
Thunder against hypocrisy
And the tyranny against small things.
Thunder against materialism
And hate;
But deeper still,
LOVE is the thunder of power.

About this poem:
What many of you may not know is that I am also an ordained, non-denominational minister and was ordained in May 2008. :-) Recently I've suffered a broken toe, a rolled ankle, a sprained knee and a torn tendon in my right arm. I've got my toe and ankle in a medical boot and the knee in a brace at the moment. I just started physical therapy to help me walk again. Despite the pain and the "quitting is not an option" motto, faith has helped me get through. :-)
