Kay Cude poetry: Our Grace-ful Savior

I particularly enjoyed this piece from poet Kay Cude. I hope you enjoy it too. May it encourage you, strengthen you, or simply allow your thoughts to linger on the wonders and glories of our Savior.

Poetry by Kay Cude. Used with permission.

Death, Where is Thy Sting?

Let not this mortal coil reside, ‘neath the cold and dampen sod; unseeming though, it shall arise, and meet my Savior God.

Fo these mere bones the earth may hide, my countenance forget; I shun it all to be with Him, my sins His grace supplants.

Kay Cude Art: Everything according to its season

We worship an orderly God, whose prophecies, whose seasons, whose mankind progresses according to His will. What a blessing it is to know we submit to a God who is perfect, whose mighty hand is outstretched to make Himself known and His works, including the animal world, are a wonder.

“Foamy crystal drops of damp, and he alights with ease;
to rest upon a liquid bed, his heart content and pleased;
To linger there and end his day, the journey hard and long;
the banks call out to lay upon, his heart by rest made strong.”

1There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every matter under heaven—
2A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
3A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-3

 GOD’S PURPOSE IN THE SEASONS OF LIFE

Foamy crystal drops of damp, and he alights with ease;
To rest upon a liquid bed, his heart content and pleased;
To linger there and end his day, the journey hard and long;
the banks call out to lay upon, this heart by rest made strong…
kay cude, 2007 AD

To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven….
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down,
and a time to build up.
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3
