Morning Poem for Violators

by James Riscinti

Our debt is more than we can bear,

as it should,God’s Law will tear.

As violators, one & all,

dead in sin from the fall,

Evening Poem of Learning

by James Riscinti

Even in the valleys deep,

one may cry, one may weep.

By God’s Mercy comes a Song,

of deliverance, from what’s wrong.

Thou I do not understand,

yet, All is purposed by God’s Hand.

What I know, I need to learn,

thou it’s painful, thou it burns.

The experience that teaches me,

of all of which I need to be.

So if in heartache, I suffer loss,

I know it’s not a wasted cost.

Astonishment

by James Riscinti

Good Morning Astonishment, 

As I wonder rather than slumber to all that I behold, 

to all that I’m told.

How could it be

that God has been so good to me.

God provides what God demands,

perfection, redemption, full atonement by God’s Hand. 

God’s righteousness at God’s expense, 

thru Christ recompense.

By God’s one true sacrifice, 

God takes away our pride and takes us as His bride.
