I'm sorry that the first post was so long, btw. I -almost- promise I won't write another like that, at least for a while :).
Anyway, I wrote this poem a while ago for my literature class. It was originally supposed to be about Jesus music, but I eventually just decided to kinda roll with it. I wanted it to be about looking at our relationship with Jesus from the big picture, (kinda what my whole laughter dance thing is about). Yes, Jesus loves us, but we have pain. We suffer! We 're sinful! How can He love us; how can we love him? Despite this, and despite our broken world. He still loves us. He still reaches out and cleanses us. So we, as His bride, can once more dance with Him. Anyway, it's just a poem I made late at night, not perfect, and there still somethings that bug me. Eh,whatever, no big deal.
I hope you guys enjoy it:
Laughter Dance
by Nathan Rollins
Many a man, bids to live life for God,
But love’s unseen, unknown. How may men praise
Their King ev’ry day? Awake the dawn, give laud,
His light now seen! Divine grandeur’s His blaze.
Jesus, has died, for me. Now I livin’.
Not I, alive, but He in me. Dance I
Must. Sing next, laugh, then love with Christ. Forgivin’
Are we! How He has lov’d us, see. But. Why?
My God! How Long should grief, sorrow and pain
on me still reign? God, my first love, rescue
Your bride. Cleanse me from shame. Let’s dance again.
Aching, suff’ring, but here, always, were You.
Let’s dance on air, and laugh, and sing! All’re free!
Give to Jesus, life, heart, and soul, all three.
