Poetry by Sean Morris (Elder)
"Slandered and on Display"
The cross, its hill, a mount of ignominy (Isa. 53:12).
My cross, even still, like the Master said it'be (Jn. 15:18-23).
My soul, shrink not, be not ashamed of this thy lot (Mat. 10:32-35, 2 Tim. 1:8,16).
Thy footsteps, must be, following the example set for thee (1 Pet. 2:21-23, 4:1, Heb. 12:3-4).
Shall I complain? Repine I will not! (Heb. 11:35-38)
I must remember the faith of those who fought (2 Tim. 4:7-8, 1 Cor. 15:32, 1 Thes. 2:14-16).
E're long when finished, by faith in "The Way" (Jn. 14:6, Heb. 12:1-2).
When I am conformed to what the Book did say (Rom. 8:29, 35-36).
Mine eye shall see the many multitudes dismayed!
Rejected now, though before God they prayed (Mat. 7:21-23).
Hypocrisy unmasked... It's Judgment Day!
Hill of slander, welcomed be!
Mighty King, He died for me!
Following on, with reputation gone - No loss for me!
Sinner pause, there is a cause!
Backsliding saint, this way you hate!
E're long, alas! Before this Gate! - Great loss for thee!
