Don’t Tell Me What to Write

Psalm 45:1 NIV

My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

Don’t tell me

What to write

To happy

To sad

To realistic

To selfish

But you don’t

Have the power

Too guide my pen

The Holy Spirit

Is my guide.

~~~

Some call it the

Muse

A mythical thing

But the Holy Spirit

Is as real as the air

I breathe

The Holy Spirit

Guides my pen

Allows me to breathe.

~~~

If it makes you

Feel better to

Question my

Integrity

Go ahead

Because I know

Where I stand

And the only

One I’ll bow down to

Is the King of Kings

The Lord of Lord’s.

~~~

I won’t paint

The world

In a picture

Of perfection

But I’ll talk

Of beauty

In the broken

Places

And strength

Behind the tears.

~~~

And when

I see the scars

That surround me

I’ll remember the nail

Pierced hands

Of Jesus Christ

Nailed to the cross

To pay for our sins.

~~~

Don’t tell me

What to write

The words aren’t

Mine to control

But a gift from

The Lord above

Sent dowm with

Love!
