Leslie Rummel Poetry
Your word is my lamp for my feet, a light for my path. Psalm 119:105
My beloved child…
I am your Father;
Maker of Heaven and Earth;
And as your Lord, establishes
All of creation’s worth!
Everything that is crafted
With the power of my hand,
Has its purpose for existence
And is part of my Master Plan!
The mountains and the seas;
The sky so vast and blue
Are gifts that I give freely
Because of my love for you!
And I create each one of you
Despite what people assume;
Knitting each precious human life
Within the mother’s womb!
But people are accepting lies;
And are blinded by deception;
Believing that life does not begin
At the moment of conception
The day shall come when blind men see
And challenge what is heard;
Then wisdom and knowledge will find its home
Through the power of My Word!
For I create all perfect things
And this, I know, is true;
The greatest day I ever made
Was the day I created you!

In a desperate state of panic;
From the crowd I shouted, “Why?”
The priests said, “Crucify Him!”
Officials yelled the same reply!
In my bitterness I questioned,
“God, how can this be?”
I felt an anger surge inside -
Like a fire consuming me!
I begged, “Don’t let them kill my Son
In this God-forsaken place!”
The guards strip and scourge Him
And they spit upon His face!
They try to steal His dignity
With their searing, ruthless scorn;
And pierce His tender head
With a twisted crown of thorns
A purple robe is thrown on Him
More taunting then ensues;
They try to make a fool of Him
Yelling, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
“Have mercy now! Please let Him go!
Let me hold Him in my arms;
Let me hide Him from this brutal place
That brings Yeshua harm!
Abba, please come quickly now
Reveal Your mighty hand;
Stop these foolish people
They do not understand!
Blood is flowing down His brow;
My body shakes in fear;
Why is this world unjustly cruel
To One who is so dear?
I’m caught up in the frenzy
Down this dirty, wretched path;
Tainted with the wickedness
Of evil, human wrath
So weary on this cursed road
That robs men of his breath;
This endless, rugged hill I trudge
Reeks of ruthless death!
I look beyond the mob;
My heavy eyes can see;
More of Herod’s merciless men
Wait in authority?
How could they be so cruel
To Kill a man, adored?
Do they know the One they’ll crucify
Is the Chosen One, the Lord?
They cast His body to the ground;
Oh God, is this the plan?
They hammer rusty nails
Through his tender feet and hands!
I hear the whaling of His voice
In my sinking sense of loss;
They raise Him from the dusty ground
And hang Him on a cross!
A haunting silence now remains
Have the powers of Hell now won?
Does Satan whisper in the ears
Of those who mock my Son?
My knees give way and I collapse;
My precious Son is slain!
I cry out to the heavens,
“God, from this, what will they gain?”
My beloved one stands by my side
In despair and misery;
Yeshua speaks some final words
To comfort John and me
He looks up to the Heavens
And cries, begrudgingly,
Saying, “Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthami!”
The world does not deserve the love
Revealed upon His face;
Yeshua gives His life up now
In the perfect moment of grace!
The Earth begins to tremble
As if to bring the world great scorn;
And then my ears behold the sound
Of a curtain being torn!
In the midst of mass confusion
The people freeze in fear;
The Holy Spirit lets me know
That the Kingdom of God is near!
As the Mother of the Son of God
I know the Father’s will;
And stand in awe of what is done
Prophecy fulfilled!
