His Anger is not turned away, But? ⋆ Effie Darlene Barba

We look around at all the evil in this world and wonder where God is. He is on His throne, high and lifted up as Isaiah saw Him described in Isaiah chapter 6. Seeing the evil, He steadies His hand. For Righteousness demands He do something. Just as in the days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the days when Israel fell followed by Judah. As He repeatedly said in His warnings, His anger is not turned Away, but His hand is outstretched still.

Oh sinner, do you not see? And Christian do you not believe? It is His grace that bid Him wait while His eyes search out one more sinner to come to Him. For this I wrote this poem.

His Anger is not turned away, But?

God sits upon His throne on high

And looks around this world

With heaviness, Oh, does He cry

Or does He breathe a sigh?

Evil spills throughout out land

The anger, bitter strife

While prideful people take their stand

To mock His nail scarred hand

The innocent lay cast aside

As bits and parts for sale

Upon an altar built from pride

My choice, the women cried

We mock the truth, embrace the lie

That humans are so good and kind

While right before our very eye

We see the plans of man awry

As fighting, bitterness, and pain

Replace all hope or joy

We cling to sin, its blood drenched stain

Chained to our pride in vain

And then we dare to scream at God

To come and fix this mess

We want Him with a blink or nod

Forsake that justice needs a rod

Creator God gave life to us

Stands reaching out in love

And though He ‘s angered by our fuss

It never should be thus

He gave man choice, oh what a shame

But how else could we choose

To know the truth or seek His name

Instead we seek to blame

The one who gave us liberty

And chose to love us still

He gave His Son to set us free

And there He paid on calvary

The debt that I did owe

And now He bids us come to Him

That He might therein show

His love, and then on us bestow

The love and joy, He wants to give

If only we believe

He wants to show us how to live

Our sins He will forgive

If only we would now repent

And bow before His throne

So many times, His word He sent

That truth we circumvent

We cry, Dear God, do come today

As though He does not care

His anger is not turned away

His plan He does not sway

But for this moment and this time

His hand is stretched out still

To wretched sinners hear the chime

Of bells to seek His love sublime

Oh, judgement day will swiftly come

Like Noah’s time of flood

For those whose conscious remain numb

To fire and brimstone will succumb

While yet for those who seek His face

And bow before His throne

Will know the beauty of His Grace

His Glory fills this place.
