~From Heaven With Love~
by Norman Beasely

Hear all you who call me by my name.
This is from Heaven with love to my creation a spoken word. 
You, I have given life too from the dust of the earth 
and brought you into existence. 
I have given you leadership over all creation.
You have I loved from the beginning of time.
Now the time has come 
that I must again give my breath of life.

I have dressed and adorned you in all wisdom
with the words from my mouth, you have refused to wear my
armament. I have embraced you with the blood of my Son, and you
have refused to hold Him. In your distress, I have healed your pains,
and you acknowledged me not.

You have I fed with the word, 
and you refuse to eat from the table of life. 
I have kept the enemy from your soul. 
You have allowed evil to enter in. 
I have shown unto you a better way to go, 
and again you have shown yourselves arrogant towards me.
All that you have, you acquired from my throne of grace.

I have given you the best of love that no other love could give. 
I am last upon your lips to be an expression for and of thanksgiving.
A course I have set in front of you.
And tragedy in each step you cannot afford.
I have set life and death in the way,
and you have chosen death before me. 
I have shown you a better day and you have chosen the night
and the evil that accompanies it.

Shall you fall and fail continually over the shoestrings of your life?
Shall you give up hope when my arms are stretched out right? 
My heart suffers you to acquire the knowledge that awaits your mind. 
I sit atop the heavens to await your call, 
and I am pleased to always answer when you fall.
Even though you refuse me all, I have given light during the day and
the light was shown to your faces.
Again you preferred the darkness over the Son.

You have noticed me in your troubled times.
and in your sins you live.

The lives of this life I list and log.
My laws are for correction and reproofing.
Your ways are destructive and bleak
How often must I lessen your pains 
when you have no shame, 
and how must I send a sign
and you without a true mind
continue to be blind?

I have made the lame man to walk 
in the way of my precepts.
as for you who need no cane, 
walk crippled as if you are in need of a crutch!
When you have no trouble,
You who have your senses and cannot tell the difference,
between the beginning and the end.
Shame sits at the very door of the core of your hearts.
Guilt has no hold of your conscience,
as you continue to run toward affliction and pain.

Time and time again I have gathered you under my wings of love and
sheltered you from the rains in a distressed world.
From the storms you seek not the shelter I provide. 
I have aided you in the darkest of days 
shined light into the dimmest parts of your hearts.
Have you considered moments
when you were saved from such a time, 
and have found that the darkest of clouds were blown away?

Have you noticed when the seas of life
were set to drown your dreams and dash your hopes away? 
And have you noticed, out of pity, I have calmed the seas and furnished you
with the substance to relieve your frustrations?

How long oh man shall I continue 
to allow you to destroy that which I have given you? 
And how long shall I wait for you to come to repentance? 
I have loved you with a Godly love 
a love that is straight from above.

With love from Heaven above a constant reminder 
as the word proclaimed for you to remain.
From the dust of the earth,
I have called you to come.
That my words and laws do protect thee.

So again from Heaven with love
I send my word
as a breath of life
I breathe into you.
