C’est Moi
With deep knowledge
I am replete
I can solve
Any intellectual featMy epistemology
Is very rich indeed
My mind is voracious
On books I must feedI read several books
At a time
I read history, mystery
Sci-fi, fantasy and crimeI love all my
Prose and poems
I write
Huge tomesGod has elevated me
Beyond a normal man
I follow the Bible
Not the Satanic QuranIn Christ I am
A new creation
This truth
Fills me with elationSpread the Gospel
Far and near
Proclaim it boldly
Without any fearBy Zachary Uram

Pilgrim
I walked along
A path darkened
I had the weight
Of sins
Holding me down
It was crushing
God seemed
So distant
In despair
I languished
I felt hopeless
Life was
A chore
My depression
Made me
Feel numb
I read Scriptures
And the Gospel
Came alive to me
I cast
My burdens
On Christ
I cried out
To the Lord
And I sincerely
Repented
For all my sins
In a moment
The Holy Spirit
Quickened my soul
I was born again
No longer
A slave to sin
All my sins
Were completely
Forgiven
Past, present
And future
In Christ
There is
Deep peace
And true freedomby Zachary Uram

From Dead to Alive
My days were dark
And filled with pain
Please listen to
My sad refrainI was spiritually lost
I wallowed in the mire
For righteousness
I had no desireThe natural man
Is spiritually dead
He’s alive once reborn
Then he is fedI thank God
For the effectual call
We are born again
And saved from the FallIn Christ alone
We find true freedom
God is using us
To build His KingdomBy Zachary Uram

Science and Faith: A Christian Cosmology
I’ve studied math and science
My entire life
I see God behind it all
There is no strifeFaith and reason
Are complementary
There’s no conflict if
One understands them deeplyCreation itself
Is a testament to the handiwork
Of the Creator, God
It’s a consistent frameworkThe Big Bang
Is understood with Scripture
The physics provides
A perfect pictureScientific theories
Rise and fall
But God’s Word
Is absolute truth for allOur minds can only see so far
We collect knowledge
But God can reveal to us
Knowledge we can’t find in collegeSpread the Gospel
Abroad and at home
Study the Bible
It’s a sacred tomeBy Zachary Uram

An Autumn Stroll in The Park
I stepped outside
On an autumn day
It was raining
The air was
Perfectly chilly
I saw
My breath
Suspended
In the air
Colorful leaves
Covered
The ground
They made
A pleasing
Crunch sound
Underfoot
I entered
Schenley Park
I walked the
Winding trail
I saw a
Peregrine falcon
Circling me
From above
It was cloudy
I saw a
Female deer
When she saw me
She bolted away
I heard robins
Singing
Sweet melodies
I saw chipmunks
Scurrying
In and out
Of an old
Stone wall
Covered in
Green moss
Nature testifies
To the truth
Of the Creator
GodBy Zachary Uram

God Has Blessed Me
I’m a matrix of pure energy
I’m speaking truthfullyI’m an exalted being
You’d best be believingI travel through time with ease
Backwards and forwards as I pleaseI have mastered telekinesis, you see
I can move objects effortlesslyI can project my consciousness far
It’s faster than a carGod has given me supernatural power
When people behold me, they cowerI can travel faster than light
It’s truly a delightBy Zachary Uram

My Ongoing Struggle With Mental Illness
Listen to my sad refrain
Due to chemical imbalances, I’m insaneI have to take my lumps
I feel down in the dumpsMajor depression is no joke
I’m a fatigued blokeMy days are troubled and full of pain
It’s because I have a defective brainI also fight schizophrenia, you see
I hear voices and hallucinate regularlyI yearn to laugh and play
I pray it will happen somedayI take 7 medications psychiatric
Each is a powerful psychotropicI struggle, but in Christ I am strong
God will save His children and right every wrongBy Zachary Uram

A Life Transformed by The Gospel
On a hot August morn
At Mercy Hospital I was bornTwas nearly 51 years ago
An angel chose my name, don’t ya knowAt age 7 I was born again
Thus began a lifelong battle with sinAt age 10 I was baptized by full immersion
It was a public and visible sign of my conversionWe attended church at the Community of The Crucified One
I recall vacation Bible school that was such funDaddy gave me my first Bible at age 11
I’m on the narrow path to HeavenI study Scripture like a Berean, you see
From temptation and sin I fleeI worship God; He is Triune
Prepare for the Rapture; it could happen soonWe must spread the Gospel to all who may hear
Let them read it and know it by earIf we love Christ, we will do as He says
Even on our worst daysBy Zachary Uram

The Mighty Grizzly Bear
The grizzly
A noble bear
Strong and mighty
The personification
Of fierceness
And aggression
The mother bear
Will protect
Her cubs
At all costs
Man is no match
The grizzly can
Outrun, outswim
And outclimb us
A creature
Of instinct
It is an
Apex predator
It eats
Lots of salmon
To prepare
For its
Winter
Hibernation
In its den
It will
Not emerge
Until spring
We must respect
These beautiful
Creatures
Conservation
Is keyBy Zachary Uram

The Christian Life
Darkness falls
But all is not lost
Thanks to effectual callsWe require regeneration
The Holy Spirit quickens us
For every generationGod’s irresistible grace
We were spiritually dead
That alone can redeem the human raceSatan is a defeated foe, you see
His fate is sealed
The Lake of Fire is his eternal destinySpread the Gospel far and near
Across the whole globe
It’s what the lost need to hearChrist’s atonement was a display of graciousness
All our sin was imputed to Him
We receive His perfect righteousnessThe natural man doesn’t comprehend spiritual truth
They are dead in their sins and depraved
God breathes life into us, forsoothWe must live in Christ every single day
Our sanctification and obedience go hand in hand
We will have eternal life with Him in every wayby Zachary Uram
