This verse immediately draws my mind to the men of God that preached the gospel that I have been extremely blessed to know.\u00a0 Eternity will tell what an impact these men have had on not just my life but many others. \u00a0These men sacrificed a great portion of their life for me.\u00a0 They spent time preparing and praying for the messages they brought, and the classes they taught in which I was a student.\u00a0 I’m indebted to them for the effort they spent on me.\u00a0 I pray I don’t disappoint them.\u00a0 So I’d like to dedicate this little poem to the Peacemakers in my life, the faithful men of God that have encouraged me along the way.\u00a0 Anyhow, I know it’s horrible, but you got to start somewhere.\u00a0 Be merciful now.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0obeys the Father,<\/p>\n
Though all may deem it odd;<\/p>\n
And will not fret or bother,<\/p>\n
For He’s a child of God.<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
Doubter and pagan and scoffer!<\/p>\n
Pray he never cease,<\/p>\n
To preach and pray and offer,<\/p>\n
The Prince’s terms of peace:<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
“One thing does God require:<\/p>\n
That sinners pay the price.<\/p>\n
By faith you must acquire<\/p>\n
The perfect sacrifice.”<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
“Beware the throne is yonder,<\/p>\n
From which the world flees.<\/p>\n
No more time to ponder.<\/p>\n
Behold, the Prince of Peace.”<\/p>\n
\u00a0.<\/p>\n
In church, there’s joy\u00a0in seeing,<\/p>\n
How Jesus fills the seats.<\/p>\n
O the blessed\u00a0fruit of\u00a0being,<\/p>\n
A maker of the Peace.<\/p>\n
