Wheat And Chaff

orchidee



Tune: Bristol

('Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes')

Matthew 3 v.11-12

********

John Baptist he did baptise hence

With water, repentance

Did people show and forgiveness

Received, he did them bless

 

John said, He that comes after me

Mightier than I be

I not worthy to His shoes bear

Though He does for all care

 

He, the Christ, He shall baptise you

With the Holy Ghost* true (*Spirit)

And with fire, His fan in His hand

To winnow all the land

 

The land of people's lives, He will

Thoroughly purge all ill

In His threshing floor, and His wheat

Will gather to barn's seat

 

And He will burn up chaff, the dross

Evil shall suffer loss

Burn up with fire unquenchable

Yet grace to His wheat all

                      I've always loved the saying "seperate the wheat from the chaff" as I feel it necessary to choose what's best. Especially when talking about friends, like some people are true and loyal and others plainly aren't. I appreciate this fresh poem.

                        Thanks Rocky.
