A PART OF HIS CREATION

          © Robert Charles Burnham 

 

I am a part of His creation

I am an heir to the throne

I am rich beyond imagination

No greater love have I known

There is no man that can harm me

For my Savior protects His own

One day he’ll return and I’ll be free

And taken to my wondrous home

 

I am a rich man and I rejoice

As my Father’s son I am strong

For He answers my every voice

As I praise Him in word and song

I am a part of His creation

I will inherit all the earth

I’ll be raptured from devastation

To lay my head upon His hearth

 

I am a part of His creation

The Bible says I am a Child of God

I have been granted sweet salvatioN

To the Lord, my heart belongs 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.  Beloved, now are we sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.       I John 3:1-2 KJV

Amen! Sweetie, I love the beginning, it sets the tone and it makes a beautiful and powerful statement." I am a part of His creation. I am an heir to the throne". We often forget that we are descendants of royality and our Father is King. Fabulous piece, love ya!

Robert,

Thank you for presenting the word so eloquently within you poem!

Apryl, thank you for the directions!

A heartfelt poem, Robert.

First, thanks for all your kind words. Honestly, I like the praise but I have to acknowledge that any gift I have comes to me from the Father. Most poems I do come out so rapidly, I think I mostly just take dictation from my gift and gifter.

Apryl, looks like you and I are becoming a tag-team. Love Ya.

Thanks to April for sending me here.
I can honestly say I'm not disappointed.
Your rearrangment of the verse is splendid, Robert.
The brotherhood of man would do well to realize the truth behind this.
Rory M. Jul 18, 2007, 12:38am EDT
I like the words very much but the theme even more. I often feel the very same way, part of his creation. In fact, I would say that God not only created us but that we are created from Him, that He exists within us. That makes us part of Him as well as part of His creation.

Nicely expressed, Robert. I guess I don't need to try and rephrase your work, so I'll stop now.
