I know I got to this one so late that it only paid two cents, but the cents didn't matter at all. Your introductory poem/prayer was the perfect set-up for a rendition of my all-time favorite gospel song of any kind. I have never heard this man before, but he did a wonderful job. I now have him on my radar.

Your very first sentence sets the stage for a lovely tribute to a Lord and Master that none can even describe let alone imagine.

Excellent job my dear friend Debi, terrific.

    Hey Gary, thank you so much for the very kind review and comments on this one. Yes you did just miss it, as promotion just got done a couple hrs ago.
    Sorry about that. And then you gave it six stars,. I appreciate that so very much right now. This is in the voting booth now and could use a friend. Lol. Thank you my wonderful friend, It's so good to have you back.

This is a good way to explain the Trinity -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The song you included is one of my favorites; I played it on the piano as a child, to accompany my dad when he sang it. You used good rhymes in your poem, and good theology as well. Blessings.

    Thank you so much Carol. You are always so sweet and I truly appreciate your kind words for our Holy Trinity poem. The singer of the song is Jimmy Fortune who sang with the Statler Brothers. In case you were wondering where he came from. I love his voice! By the way, this contest is in the booth right now and that is not me looking for a vote, but just wanted it to mention it in case you didn't know. Thanks again my friend.

I enjoyed your faithful poem praising the Lord. I love the song How Great Thou Art. I look forward (as you do) to the season of Christmas. We love Him because He first loved us. I feel for those who reject Him, so sad and He patiently waits for them to turn back to God.

    Thanks so much Kay! You are a dear and I think we have a lot more in common than our health issues. However it is nice to have a friend to talk to sometimes about ways to help each other. I do love Christmas and I love my Christian friends, like you and so many others here. Awe, I do love your six stars too, Lol, and I thank you so much my lovely friend.

This is a wonderful, inspiring poem that I really enjoyed. It was very well written with a great flow. I also enjoyed your rhyme. The tube video was a great touch. Thank you for sharing.

    You are so much fun and always so sweet Moonbeams! You probably don't realize how much you review me because I am so often in blind contests.
    But I have come to just love you for being such a ray of sunshine. Thank you for the lovely comments regarding my spiritual poem and it is always wonderful to be around fellow authors who are also fellow Christians.

To have a testimony is an art but only if it's not locked away in our hearts. Express it. Defend it. Do not be shamed for it. A major problem in the world today is the woke society wants believers to cave to their way of believing. That was how Satan stole away a third of heaven, wasn't it.

    Hi Tom, I am taking this as a huge complement from you. Lol, you know me, I have been given the gift of gab, but that wouldn't be enough to get me to post this kind of poem if it didn't come from my heart and soul.
    And regarding the war again between God's and satin's angel's. It's too bad that satan isn't any smarter than to try it again, cause he does know the outcome.... Thanks my dear friend for the great review and comments

The author's words are beautiful, meaningful, descriptive and creative.
As I read this poem and listen to the music the author chose it bring to place of peace, trust and comfort. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome and goes well with these words.
Hi Debi, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Hugs, Maria

Debi dear, This is such a beautiful poem and draws me to the person of the Holy Spirit. He is the one Jesus sent to us, the Holy Other to dwell within us. Thank you for sharing, and my very best in the contest. Another winner in my eyes!

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,

    Oh thank you Sally, for your lovely words for my poem and for the gracious six stars. But then gracious is you, all you!! You are sweet, loving, caring funny and gracious! It seems that we mostly talk about either our Heavenly Father or our Savior, Jesus Christ. Yet Jesus said that He would send us a Helper and that He would be a friend that would also teach us to not only know right from wrong, but feel it as well. And believe me I have felt it, time after time in my life. That is why I say in my poem. "Convicts me of my sins, and I used to fear it" I have spent a lot of wasted time running away from that voice the pit of my stomach that told me no, no,no no, no. Finally, I am so thankful, I try not to run any longer and accept and repent. And I am happy to say, that it is not happening so much anymore..
    Anyway, I thank you again for your very sweet review, comments and six stars. You Sally Dear, are so appreciated.

    You are most welcome! I?m always so blessed to read and review your wonderful poetry. I know what you mean about the Holy Spirit. He comes to lead us into all truth. It begins within ourselves. He?s very specific and offers grace too, whereas the devil does not offer anything but condemnation. Love and blessings always,
