Leslie MalonePoems To ABBA
Updated: 2 days ago
In September of 2019 I was thrown head first into God’s Refiner Fire. Not only was it the first and only time I’ve experienced this, I also had no idea what it even was. It just so happened that I few weeks in I found where Peter talked about it in the New Testament and knew instantly that was where I was. It was then I started keeping a journal and would soon be led to write poetry. Please know I’m not a writer or poet. I have been led tho to share some here and I will only to be obedient. If nothing else I hope they might help who ever reads them to know that we all struggle for acceptance and long to know that God sees and hears our cries.
❤️ Someone’s shooting a Gun outside
Our worlds gone mad
In you I hide
I don’t feel their angst,
their rage or fear
I’m OK with you right here
You hold me close
whispering my name
Saying “Don’t look,
it’s still the same”
You say “Be happy” feel secure
You belong to me now
in that be sure
You tell me look up
at your deep blue sky
past the Sun and Stars
to the heavens on high
Rejoice and dance,
praise your name,
You’re with me in the storm
my shelter from the rain
You say "stick around child
I’m going to use you
to convince this world
there's no need to feel blue
Remind them of my
unconditional love
To just repent and pray
to me up above
I’ll come running to them
as I did you
To make their Grey skies
the brightest blue
To show them the mysteries
of me above
The beginning where it started
This thing called love
When they put me first
above all else
Instead of down low
or up on a shelf
I’ll teach them how
you’re all just here
For the test, to learn
different lessons
That you hoped to be best
From Glory to Glory they will learn
What that means
How to see around what this evil
world schemes
To focus on me and nothing else
So I can come lead them to victory
And everything that it foretells.

Dream Again
You pulled me from prison
you opened the latch
You held out your hand
my strongholds no longer attached
You mended my heart
you vanquished my sin
You said " Now beloved
this is where we begin"
You took your strong hands and reshaped my mind
told me to leave all my worries behind
You said to look up
keep my eyes just on you
Nothing on earth beats the view beside you
You planted me firm on your solid rock
You showed me your vision
your plan from the start
You taught me to love
through untethered eyes
To never give up
regardless of sight
To always believe in things not yet seen
to open my heart and to once again dream.

No matter what tomorrow may bring
I'm standing today on your promises deemed
Each day I look forward to the new mystery
That points me to you and all that that means
I'll count it all joy
There can be no more doubt
That you alone decide when I come in and go out
I'll take time to listen to your every word
Knowing their life and that matters for sure
Thanks for your spirit
That guides me each day
Showing me when to step out in faith.

You saw me by the river
You felt my broken heart
You heard me cry "forgive me Father
please send your fiery spark"
I need to know you see me
please show me that you're here
Standing right beside me
in my moment of despair
I took your love for granted
I let the whole world rule me
Please can you forgive me
place me back in your reach ?
Your love is so amazing
your Grace beyond compare
For me you sent a Savior
my salvation you meant to spare.

You Came Into My Self Made Cell And Spoke Your Truth To Me
I Thought That I Was To Far Gone
No Light Was There To See
Battle Weary, Scarred and Torn
No Strength Inside Remained
Until The Day I Heard You Gently Say My Name
Leslie Child, Lift Up Your Face And Wipe Those Tears Away
There Is No Sin I Can’t Erase
If You Desire To Change
Throw Off Those Chains And Unbelief
All Those Worldly Lies
Take My Hand And I Will Teach You
How To Consistently Abide
In The Shadow of My Wings
Where Peace And Love Reside
I Have Come To Give You Rest, Hope and A New Life
Take Your Thoughts Off Of This World
Set Them Instead On Me Up High
Open Up My Word, Let It Discern Your Heart
So I Can Go To Work Cleansing All Your Soiled Parts
Remember My Commandments
To Love Me With All Your Heart
To Love And Help Your Neighbor
For They Are Like You Are
Weary And Heavy Laden
Burdens Too Big To Bear
Longing For Compassion
And Someone Who Truly Cares
Lengthen Out Your Wic
Burn Your Light So Bright
I‘ve Placed You In This World
To Help Me Make It Right
Tell Them How I Love Them
So Much I Gave My Life
How I Fashioned Them In Heaven
And Gifted Them With Life
How They All Must Come Together
For There’s Only One True Light
The Goal Is Bring Down Heaven
Where Peace And Love Reside

“Thoughts”
Like A Million Tiny Butterflies
Floating Through My Mind
I Try So Hard To Capture One
And Place It Here On Line
Thoughts Of All Your Glorious Ways
That I Have Come To Know
Your Caring, Loving Gentleness And Attention You Do Show
Your Love Like Water Flows Over Me
It Drenches Deep Down Into My Soul
Uncovering The Brokenness That Lies Beneath
That Only You Could Know
The Torment That Rushes In
When Darkness Overtakes
Your Blaring Light Splits The Night
As Darkness Scatters Far Away
My Childlike Cries, “Oh Abba Please
Rescue Me From This”
Like A Soldiers Battlecry Your Grace Comes Charging In
A Anchor You Are To My Soul On Life’s Long Stormy Course
Your Arms Of Warmth I shelter In
Your Glory My Reward.

God’s Children
The World Calls Us Damaged
Broken Beyond Repair
Jesus Calls Us Chosen
Fierce Unwavering Mercy We Must Share
The World Calls Us Noisy, Forward And Unlearned
Our Father Says We’re Special, Beautiful and Beloved
The World Says We Are Poor
For Mansions We Do Not Own
Yahweh Says We’re Wealthy
For Heaven Is Our Home
The World It Does Not Love Us
Says We are Unworthy and Alone
Abba Says We’re His
Magnificent And Strong
The World Says We Are Crazy To Believe In Things Unseen
Jesus Says We are Peculiar
And We Have All Been Redeemed

A Song For Him
To Write A Song He’s Never Heard
To Grasp Those Floating Mental Words
Pull Them Down And Out My Pen
Onto The Page A Song Begins
To Make Them Form A Melody
That One Day All The World Might Sing
To Give Life To My Greatest Dream
To Shine Forth My True Creative Being
With Pure Emotions Stir A Heart
To Bring About Or Ignite A Spark
Words That Have Such Healing Power
To Mend Not Break A Fragile Flower
To Add A Note That Cancels Tears
Hit A Beat That Soothes Not Seers
Causing Pain To Disappear
Replaced With Joy That Commandeers.

My Heart Celebrates What You’ve Done For Me
It Beats From The Mercy Rained Down From Thee
You Made Me To Be A Rose For Your Vase
Beautifully Tattered Salvaged With Grace
Some Petals Strong, Vibrant And True
Others Worn From Life’s Battles
Painfully Bruised
Once I Grew Strong In A Beautiful Bush
Surrounded By Many And Easily Pushed
Down By Their Weight Their Greed and Their Lust
Their Constant Desire To Strangle Pure Love
Until that Sweet Day Your Sheers Found My Stem
So Gently You Gave Me A Cut Meant To Mend
A Beautiful Vase You Made It My Home
On Your Window Pane You Placed Me Alone
Through Sunshine And Rain You Tend To My Needs
With Compassion And Love
You Set This Rose Free
