The Feet of a King (Fødderne af en konge): a poem By John McKinley Pride Jr

"The Feet of a King"

Your feet felt the love of a mothers touch; your feet felt the waves of a raging sea.
How can I follow in your steps when your feet felt the touch of a broken sinner’s tears and the brush of her hair?

Your feet felt the stairway to Pilot’s judgment; oh Lord, how do I follow?
Your feet felt the rocky trail to Calvary and the nail of my sin; oh Lord, how can you love me so?

When my feet have felt nothing but the soft soles of my own shoes, a promise from me to you oh Lord is that the day I see you; your feet will feel a kiss from my lips only worthy for the feet of a king.

Fødderne af en konge


Dine fødder følte kærlighed til en mødre touch; fødderne følte bølger med en rasende hav.

Hvordan kan jeg følge i dine skridt, når dine fødder følte et tryk på en brækket synders tårer og børste hendes hår?

Dine fødder følte trappe til Pilot's dom, åh Herre, hvordan jeg følge?

Dine fødder følte stenede sti til Golgata og søm min synd, åh Gud, hvordan kan du elske mig så?

Når mine fødder har følt noget, men de bløde såler af mine egne sko, et løfte fra mig til dig oh Lord, er, at den dag jeg ser dig, dine fødder vil føle et kys fra min læber kun værdig til fødderne af en konge.

Conspire to inspire thousands a poem By John M. Pride Jr

“Conspire to inspire thousands” Contrive to escape the knowledge of others means of self-destruction. They are excogitating, in finding ways to get into your mind. Fulfilling all their own desires to bring fire from the ones they control. Never wanting to mend the heart Never letting the white dove free from their grasp; breaking the olive branch. Sitting upon hills looking down laughing at the ignorant they have built. They sit upon a pedestal built by the blind. Conspire to inspire thousands Yet the ones with blood money will make you a pariah to those you try to lead. What words can you speak and will they change the world? What words can you write and will anyone read them? Will they change the world? What will they change if you do not speak out loud? What will it change if the words stay in your head? What would it change if they cannot hear you? What will it change if you don’t share your dreams with even the ones that you think don’t care for you? By John M. P

Honest John (Bio Style): a poem By John McKinley Pride Jr

"Honest John" (Bio Style) Yes I some times speak the truth even though no one wants to hear it. Some people say look there goes honest John; I hope he keeps walking on. Some say there is a young helpful chap he will help me in a snap; he’s not good with a map but he will keep you out of a trap. Some clap there hands in joy after I speak, while others there hands turn in to fists and I wish I would not have said a peep. Honest John I am, that’s the way I am; no sham, no scam and you get the real me for who I am. My words short or long, sharp or sweet, rimed or disorganized, it’s all discreet I assure you of that a pat on the shoulder a tip of the cap is all I ask for like a treat. Yes I some times speak out of turn but that’s because I know I am right; it some times gets others wanting to fight. So lets agree to disagree and we can leave it at that and I can give you a charming wink of the eye a snap of the fingers with a cheesy smile and say see that’s how I handle tha
