No Footnotes Below
by john clare
When the Word we hold has no footnotes below
When Scofield, Thompson, Dakes and McArthur are absent
In the rare air of the Spirit the pages blow
As I step onto the thin script of no comment.
'Tis a painless fall when balancing on the words of men
So accustomed to using the net of their words
If I do not like the verse, why it's not for my dispensation
It's either future, past or I have already been raptured.
It seems such a long span with just a single cable to cross upon
Take the safe and short way of man I am urged
You are much too dim and weak to comprehend alone
You will at be dashed to your demise off that stark word.
So be it I said for where has Scofield and Thompson led?
What do I meditate upon after a verse is read?
Their word to see if it lines with what I think was said!
And not lingering longer,comparing scripture and by
the spirit being led.
Take me Oh Great Jehovah and purify the man in me
Who tight ropes with footnotes safely below me
From the clutches of others interpretations free
To walk across to the high places holding onto only Thee!
beautiful!
