GOD'S TEAM

I knelt at the starting line
as the race was about to begin
God's team on the right the devils team on the left
all ready to run this race to the very end

10,000 music filled Angels
with trumpets in hand
were ready to start the race
that would be run across this land

God's team was in crimson red
representing the Blood that Jesus shed
the devil's team in snake like green
with sinful veils covering their heads

As we each took our check points
the Angels trumpets blarred in sound
God's team carrying the Cross
the devil's team the lowly snake on the ground

The Cross I carried said" Love"
while the devil's snake hissed~~ hate~~
I suffered running as fast as I could
and passed the Cross to Compassion before it was to late

Compassion took off like lighting
as greed trailed on her heels
then Compassion reached Kindness
as greed and pride try to make a deal

Kindness gain a mile lead
but ego caught her in the blink of an eye
but Kindness made it to Humbleness
passing her the Cross she begin to fly

Lust snatched the snake from ego
fast as he could he headed for temptation
but Humbleness found Rghteousness
and took the lead with Holy Pulsation

As Righteousness passed the Cross to Truth
the devil's team looked mighty tired
and when Truth gave the Cross to Faith
He set the race track on Holy Fire

Heaven's Gates opened wide
as the finish line grew near
for the devil's team lost all their power
when God's team felt no more fear

So as The Cross of Christ was carried
over the finish line
God's team claimed the Victory
that satan can never have what is Mine

Rose,
Amen! I loved this poem. A great read (see I knew who's side you were on so that let me smile from beginning to end). Victory in Jesus, NO ONE or NOTHING can compare. What a great analogy, the race. Ugh, I hate snakes!!
Blessings, marcy

This is wonderful Rose Mary! It reminds me of some of Carmen's songs and just as inspirational!
