‘Pure’ is a poem written by my friend Jesse. He performs it so incredibly it gives me goosebumps. I love it.
Pure
I want to be pure,
like water,
simple, but deep,
transparent—no lies.
Yeah I may not be flashy hun,
but I still sparkle shine from the sun – or the Son.I want to be gentle, soothe you,
as water drunk from a bowl,
yet strong and powerful
as I pull you with me as a whole
waterfall come crashing down
on all that is wrong and unjust,
all the hatred, anger, greed and the lust.
I want to be pure like water,
solid, like ice—you can trust
me with anything,
I want to bring
about change for the better.I want to be pure,
like water, clear
on what is right and is wrong,
set apart from the throng
who only base it upon
what they want for themselves
and forget everyone else.
I want to be
pure in my anger,
pure in my faith and
pure in my love.I want to be pure in my love,
full of grace coming down from above.
I want to be pure in my faith,
one-hundred-percent sold out
to my God.
I want to be pure in my anger
when I see the undeserved hurt of a stranger,
or when I see all that is tearing us apart,
that is tearing us down,
this human race,
no matter the color of your face –
let’s take back our missteps,
retrace,
and start again – together this time
all you brothers and sisters of mine
stand up, take action,
‘cuz we’re at the end of this rhyme.
Amazing huh? Yea…this Poem was written by my friend Jesse. Listen to the lyrics. Listen to the words. Grasp the meaning. It’s deep. He’s such a fabulous writer.
