by Pete Scopes
20/12/2009
Autumn sun, Winter rain, Spring wind, and Summer again. Seasons come and seasons fall, Seasons change for us all. Man was made to work and praise, Man did sin and One man did save. Before the world He was there, Knowing endless joy but harbouring despair...

Grace & Mercy
by Pete Scopes
24/10/2009
God, so much do I need Your grace, That shines so brightly from Jesus' face. I beg for mercy, most undeserved, & find it there, Blood brought, here on Earth. You sent Your Son to die for me, A sinner; hopeless case or what I thought would be. Through Y...

What is Love?
by Pete Scopes
12/06/2009
What is love? Or at least what is it to love? How do you know you are in love? Or simply just lusting after someone? Can you ever be sure of your feelings? Or the feelings of the one you love? God is love but love is not God; love is a gift....

This is love nailed to a tree, A broken heart for my inequity. For in His love, nailed to a tree, His broken heart for the sake of me. For He is love, nailed to a tree, A broken heart, death all to set me free....

No Matter (a poem for a loved one)
by Pete Scopes
22/05/2009
No matter how bad you feel, No matter how ugly you think you are, No matter how broken you seem, No matter how afraid you become, No matter how tough the day No matter how long the night No matter how lonely it seems, No matter how tiring just living is,...

I'm Still Here
by Pete Scopes
30/11/2003
When the weight of the world is pressing down on my shoulders and I think there is no way out I turn to my Redeemer, my Saviour, and my King. He is there in my times of trouble, my darkest hour He guides my hand and draws me closer to Him. How I long to...

This World, A New Kingdom
by Pete Scopes
30/11/2003
I've had two wins yet no victory; it eludes me like Moby's whale, looming over everything I do. Strange how such an obvious and simple prize seems to disguise itself in different things, or so it appears....
