Poem Commentary

Sharing your faith with those who are the most close is sometimes the hardest!

Barriers

I need the Lord more than ever in these next few days

I pray for confidence and boldness that I can tell my parents how much you have changed my ways

It's like a barrier, I know its not high

But I need the peace of God to get me by

 

It's not like they will be angry, I imagine quite the opposite

Im sure they will rejoice that my fire for God has been lit

Why do chains keep me down, the feeling of self consciousness and shame

Why can't it be that from the rooftops I can't help but shout my Saviours name

 

Should I just go for it, pull out all the stops, and share my testimony

I expect it wouldn't just inspire my parents, but encourage many

The enemy looks to destroy me in any way he can

But I’m not sitting back scared because I know I’m a redeemed man

 

I have decided to tell them how God has blessed me with joy and peace

I know God has good plans for us all at the very least

I know we are not perfect and likely to fall

But grip on to God’s mercy and grace and stand up tall

 

Keep your eyes fixed on the Word and be praying daily

It’s only then we start to see things clearly

Feeling secure of who I am in Christ and my purpose here on earth

Its time to tell how God has been working in my life with the parents who to me gave birth

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
