Sheepdogs of Rhythm ( A Poem to the Pastors of my Church)

Posted in Poems. on Wednesday, June 15th, 2016 by Anthony

God stirred your hearts to do what was right
To take all you experienced and church plant
Miami’s darkness was yearning deeply for God’s light
Jesus knew so he turned the answer to can instead of cant

The souls of the community deeply burden you
As each morning rises this is where your prayer starts
Much like a doctor tending to a child with the flu
With Jesus we know the only way to heal is through their hearts

You have listened carefully to the Sheppard’s command
As Satan desires to sift us as wheat
All alone his desire has us hopeless, as if in quicksand
But our sheepdogs of Rhythm keep us safe from that defeat

We hear of Pirate Island Theology
Oh and how our worship times mend our souls
Though you are apologist you make no apology
Knowing without a doubt Christ has conquered Sheol

Your desires and passions are rooted for this city
Christ shines through each of your talents and smiles
You love us whole to keep us from focusing on self pity
Our feelings, many times “Justified”, enduring our life trials

Each of you turn your hearts to God
Allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you
The acceptance that everyone, but Christ is flawed
Has empowered Rhythm these years of Divine breakthrough

There are problems and obstacles that truly reveal
That Rhythm is human and always in need
However, our Sheepdogs have no fear to pray, bow and kneel
For it is their number one desire for Christ Almighty to succeed
