Poem: Passover Lamb

Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the only begotten Son of the Great I Am.

For He willingly humbled Himself
and served as the propitiation for our sins;
His Truth will be revealed at Earth’s end,
from having laid down His life as our Friend.

Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the holy begotten Son of the Great I Am.

Our Lord made the ultimate sacrifice,
donating Himself as the World’s sin offering.
Although temporarily buried in death’s tomb,
He exited triumphantly from that cryptal womb.

Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the eternal begotten Son of the Great I Am.

Today He sits at the right hand of the Father,
humbly interceding on our behalf daily!
Now is still the acceptable day of Salvation,
for He paid the cost for our soul’s preservation.

Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the blessed begotten Son of the Great I Am.

Entertaining thoughts of a spiritual breakthrough?
Know that it is not too late to save your soul.
For those who dare, Victory is available to everyone
that receives the sacred gift of the firstborn Son.

Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the divine begotten Son of the Great I Am.

Author Notes:

Poetry is so often the heart's language. In gratitude to my teacher, here's one of mine for you. With love... “The fish is thirsty in the water, and every time I hear this, it makes me laugh.” Kabir The fish breathes, drinks, dances Her being all In your boundless ocean of mercy, Knowing The fish drinks, drinks and drinks Is so fulfilled In quenching; so grateful is for thirst, Feeling Knowing the nature of water, Her Master gives; Feeling the nature of thirst, This is true kindness; Knowing the nature of quenching, Purest compassion; Feeling the nature of fish, Her Master gives The fish languishes in Heaven For want of how to thank him, Finding no words And he says: ‘Breathe; drink; dance! Enjoy! Just enjoy…’ Hi Ivan,

This is a lovely site. Poetry is so often the heart’s language. In gratitude to my teacher, here’s one of mine for you.

With love…

“The fish is thirsty in the water, and every time I hear this, it makes me laugh.” Kabir

The fish breathes, drinks, dances
Her being all
In your boundless ocean of mercy,
Knowing

The fish drinks, drinks and drinks
Is so fulfilled
In quenching; so grateful is for thirst,
Feeling

Knowing the nature of water,
Her Master gives;
Feeling the nature of thirst,
This is true kindness;
Knowing the nature of quenching,
Purest compassion;
Feeling the nature of fish,
Her Master gives

The fish languishes in Heaven
For want of how to thank him,
Finding no words

And he says:
‘Breathe; drink; dance!
Enjoy! Just enjoy…’

If I may, I would like to share a very special poetry book that I just got as a gift over the holidays called 'Lovesong', its by a poet and artist called Zurayk. I have yet to see a book like it. It has such an intimate feel because it not only feels like its hand made, its printed on cotton based paper, I think. I highly recommend it, it was a true find. At first I could not find it easily online, but then I decided to visit the publisher's website and there I found quite a bit of information and some beautiful photos of the book. Its very much worth checking out: the site is http://www.rimalbooks.com Thanks again and good luck! Thanks Ivan, this is really interesting!

Granger Thu, 14 Apr 2011 14:46:30 +0000 #comment-26058 Dear Marina, I've been looking around to see if I could find those poems for you. I don't have a copy of the Complete Poems of D. H. Lawrence immediately available, though both are listed in the contents (according to Amazon.com). I've checked elsewhere on the web, but without luck. I'm sorry. I would have thought it would be easier to find them out there. Perhaps someone else out there reading this can post them for you...? Otherwise, it may require getting a copy of the Complete Poems. Good luck! -Ivan Dear Marina,

I am writing a thesis on D. H. Lawrence's works. I was so lucky to find his poem "I am like a rose" here. Thank you! Here in Russia we are really short of DHL's original writings. I've been looking for his poems “Eloi! Eloi! Lama Sbachthani?” and “Resurrection”. Could you possibly help me? Thanks in advance! Dear Ivan,
