From The New Testament –

By Ritu Borah

Part 1- 

In the wilderness is heaven at home When visited the prophet in repentance  Betwixt from ways loop his lord smooth  Or confesses to the river deodorize sins That brooder intake with the viper’s dream  For the butter will clarify a fire’s fury Then no rest for the lament would bleat And remain there until we sought light When an angel in his rise comforted “ Behold the command quenching thy will” , Or the Dove ‘s deep the depth demonstrate  In territory of life administering days For even when dark God’s kind dwelling  When gospel of the learn benignly grows Or turn many torches from reported mute Into the spirit of rejoice by sunrise perform This to no trumpet before you sound 

Forever be the lord into his sacred intake . 

Part 2 - 

For the sick needs the physician  Nor does the well in house need Nor would old garments patch tears When the recline faith teaches stitch For not the righteous but by sinners Who learn mercy nor good offering  And behold the paralytic be at heart For easier shall say , “Rise and walk “, For the light that whispers the house top When in dark meet reclaims the light If not notice that blind in my own eyes Nor can I take the specs out of yours And yet by little faith than most afraid  When the great storm or wave swamped But that build house on the rock stood

Far greater than the build on sand fell For fear not the body die be not soul Rather fear is the one that destroys both For the ask , seek and knock by men The gate so narrow and still dense to life . 

Part 3 – 

Yet even a dog eats the crumbs that fall For into the belly passes and expels But beware from lead mouth ours defile For if a blind leads the blind both will pit Yet for the faith good the lost sheep’s faith When to ninety nine not but the found rejoices  Or the camel with ease the needle’s eye Or in repentance that the heaven signs For the greatest been – by will child humble  When the little life works in kingdom serve And yet those witnesses by eviction bind

When to its fullest stood the tax collector  Nor honour with lips when far from the heart Yet to its gold what treasures will sing  When a den of robbers into house prayer But to temple nor the gold bond oath And from the figs as tender leaves come So to it’s sweet the summer’s close by  

Part 4 – 

But along the path were seeds tumble When a sower went forth his little sow And devoured the birds lapping up some  When comes Satan emptying the word sown  Yet the others on the rock with no depth sprang  For the warm when no roots , but withered  Or to joy short with good fortitude fall Then choked with thorns yielded up when 

Amidst care and desire the world envision  But those on good soil by prospect rise  That from lamp’s empower a uniform light  And with fruits recollect the trees health  That some fine and the diseased regimen  This indeed less or infrequent deem  Or may hear in fables but not comprehend  Lest us to that path turn or be forgiven  As the lotus blooms in the mud for seen That were here on earth never been loose . 

Part 5 – 

Or to numerous trees with manure serve  Be to its sick some bright fruits soar  Neither was cut when behold the fresh  And cursed those in crooked straight  When the spirit in them roam not free  For even the Sabbath untie along with six 

That the son of the lord their rival bore  With the holy spirit administered and fire’s curl Which to many cure and their heart’s mend  Lest being tempted by the spirit he fast  When was told to turn a stone to bread ‘Not by bread alone but by every word’s lord ’, Or in a moment’s time his authored world  ‘Get behind Satan for I shall worship God’ Or from the temple top to his self thrown  ‘ Never shall the lord be put under test’ Yet to the departed his living men gift When the apostles with rejoice did grow up well. 

Part 6’ 

With what kingdom of God oft considers When the earth sings her saltiness will  Yet the grains first blade , then ear and full Like the smallest with mustard seed fits  But to its growth larger than the garden sown 

Where birds of the wings : sing and nestle  On the large branches , than put to shade And the light of the world gives glorified lamp  When a city on a hill was not for hiding  Nor down basketed when stand all shine  Nor swear falsely when to its last heaven sworn  Nor oath by head when to its heart ‘yes’ or ‘no’ That value of little faith unworthy clothes  When amidst it’s treasure trading lay up  Where not rust and moth in power destroy  Nor the thieves break in and look over steal  For good eye is a lamp that fully health Or be lilies of the field when considered how  That neither toil nor spin but will grow  This to his good spread and be glory to father  Who in heaven awaits until all is polished . 

Part 7’ 

Then even to the winds and seas faith

When a great fear arose them wild  

But peace in his command wore less drill For they cease with their heads calm 

And spirits with shackle and chains vest Broke the bind when tortured no more 

Or earnestly his heard with mercy claim When to his garment touch all healed 

Like the blood dried up from all discharge  Or were fears trembling before death do That some evil sleep in his presence health. 

There is commotion , where by misses sense weep  Yet the pharisees and scribes of their worship hold Neither their establishment nor their hearts own  When for the void with hands not gold  

Perhaps secret should have known his strict  When not his name in the kingdom’s king  But the great crowds with his wonder loaves fed And leaving so them when near eves pray 

Or walk on the sea into rough swim  

Till boat reaches to safe shore then . 

Part 8’ 

What’s close when yield not discloses soul  Nor can a man whole when forfeits his will Not leaven the pharisees nor Harold begins  Or been affirm lot wholehearted the whole  Yet will in glory when repentance come But nowhere is near until the heaven’s world  This to his plan can apocalypse deny  When the son of man professes his pain Of those many sufferings the body hits  So to the chief priests and elders behest Or with reasons ridden the contempt treat When realms of God behold the cloud’s door And Elijah the first with harbinger’s defence  When Hebrew be worshipped in miracles restore For cripple hung life and out cries fire

To the cup of water in lord’s name drink In his mighty epithet nor speak of me Or how long belief the generations hail That to unbelief , can fasting pen help And would forbearance in prayer gift to kind Into the hands wish ‘ servant of the serve’. 

Part 9’ 

For every offer of the salted salt  

When to salt nor non-violence is lost Or peace by law to self and the other  That the fire quench their worm out  Or in poverty a little offering if less  When to such contribute is much more put That in abundance isn’t worth more heart But be not the tables of money flocking  Which to the temple be bought and sold  And drive out those who sold pigeons When to all nations this a house of pray

Nor disguise by those appearances sway 

When a few arrives to be lengthen judge 

For they bought Denarius to his trap 

“So render to caeser what his count and to God thy will pronounce ” , 

Which to his judgement they all applause. 

“ Tell with what authority thou leadest” ask the chief priest  and the scribes , 

“was baptism from Heaven or from men” , 

When to its belief wasn’t John known  

Whom as a prophet they all held  

Or in scriptures when read wise devote 

“ with builder’s deny , stone turns cornerstone” Which to its root canal - the lord’s marvel 

Into his spirits deep when he sighs  

That was asked by pharisees sure 

A sign must have the heaven’s eyes 

But no sign was that ordeal – his truly !

When God in each greet do many forms rest . 

Part 10 ’ 

Up in the mountains went beside the sea  And met with the great crowd of unrest men  Where the lame , blind , cripple and mute  Began to walk , see , get well and speak  For the bless were the healing that lay near When to Galilee’s glory glorified by lord  Or the sign of Jonah before fair Heaven  When not the signs true interpreted times  For the pharisees and sadducees above  And to his disciples from their’s beware When flesh and blood not but God’s reveal  On every rock’s Heaven in earthen church  Or against the hell’s gate nor they loose For good Earth bind in heaven’s bound  Yet often in the water or fire’s betide  That an epileptic who suffers his kind mercy

When knock the little faith to demonic cast  But move by the mountains in lord’s grace  And to men’s free nor offence in them  That kings of the Earth take toil or tax  When lend like a child his father’s provide  When lend to God a part provide . 

Part 11’ 

What memory pales the angel’s brine  When king’s compare his wishes resolve  Or the judges with their judgement serve That owe in talents when in thousands ten  Come to forgive from debts strict mercy  When patience has its belongings sold  Nor was sheep’s clothe in ravish wolves  That to their pleased many greed bore  Or from the measuring, the measure sought  When the measure versus his self sake  And those hired have borne beginnings

Equal to the last first or in turn the first last Nor grants be ransom releasedly tied On guiding humbles be light from bad Yet darkness will weep and gnash teeth  When to outer dark hand and foot bind  For many are called but few are chosen Or in revision’s deep like angels in heaven. 

Part 12 ’ 

What wondrous stone or great building tell That with the times test shall sign decay  Nor dwells the end with alarming tall  With new beginnings of the births pain  When time ravages or leadest the wars 

Or to the famines and earthquakes begin  What nation against the nation withstood  Or to sheep rumoured when to many astray  These to the kings and governors stand 

Yet will your guard be yourselves delivery  When trial with the hours anxious before hand  For first the gospel to the nation’s proclaimed  When to those first comes the holy spirit’s speech  And yet if destroyed into sacrificial alter  That such tribulations in those days will  When darken the sun and the moon’s lit not  And the stars from Heaven before age fall  With great power and glory amidst the clouds  Will be the son of God with the angels seen  Or from the four winds gather his elect  From each end of the Earth and then Heaven  The lord’ s time of the sun and the moon chose  Or cut for his sake the day’s length short  When to them elect look for sake’s presence  ‘ Be time’s guard , keep awake and invoke …’ 

Part 13 ’ 

Nor the angels do nor the sons know 

That hour or day when seconds no more  Or away the Earth and the Heaven pass But his words shan’t breathe his last  This to the father known that cross over  When to its put that every rooster crows  Lest comes sudden and good finds dormant  So be on guard , be nor the drowse recline  Nor the feast of unleavened bread confer Or during the uproar beforehand people What the chief priest and the scribes plan  By stealth of arrest – to seek from the kill And anointed upon his head cold  Of pure nerd pouring as the gospel avow  When to each pour ahead of time’ s burial  That the son of man woes in his betray  Better if the apostle was not been born  What he sought was money in command  When his blood for the covenant all out  That he declared was poured for many 

For Jesus goes as it was written for him  Nor deny with death as he to his glory may  Yet to the fall , not will but by father’s will . 

Part 14’ 

How many watches you desire not  

When the spirit dreaded in week adrift 

Nor the flesh willingly went away and pray For the heavy eyes in dull repose leave Nor the heart pink nor a few hours slate When not sin but by sinners lead strand  Then with swords and club de robber’s seize Yet the son of man to his scriptures tell When against him stood the fall witnesses  Nor to their testimony was testimonial death  That the temple will destroy and in three days build Not made with hands no answer to make To those charges that the high priest made But , Jesus in silence to his bless uttered

“ Thou art me in cometh with the clouds , When to thy will , I ; the right hand of power ” Then tore his garments with his herd condemn  For all condemning by warning his death  Where spits and cover his face with strike  And the guards lending him with blows full  ‘ what prophesy own , what blasphemous tone ’ And each time peter denied , denied ; That to his swear not known his master  Or to his hide – his curses invoke  

Led break down to good remembrance and wept  But all was too late to relieve  

When he lied was that the rooster crows  That Jesus once to his brave heart said  “ Before crowing twice , you will deny me thrice”, But he claimed that he won’t. 

Part 15’ 

When morn came with it’s dull ornaments

That with the elders and scribes council Or was the son to his destiny bound When left the way to the court of law There the pillate in his delivery asked Whether he was the king of the jews And to those charges made him against Jesus affirms,“ Be you with your being said ”, O’ no answer have had his declared further That bewildered the pillate with his usual envy And from the feast of one releasing habit Were the rebels with their gross sin rank For a man called Barabas against his free Lest his freedom from an unpardonable explained But stirred up the crowd in chief priest spell That the king of the Jews be then crucified Nor was why when no evil his dark

Or in demand square Barabbas was let gone But to their burn wish Jesus was crucified  When let the whole upon a single inhibit By leading the soldiers inside the palace And in a purple cloak was him clothed Then the twisted crowns in the thorns put - Put it on him , saluted and stroked his head Nor like the flowers which hail the king When they spitted on him in knelt down homage Yet with a reed stroked and stripped of the cloak 

Him , they had mocked and put back his torn clothes 

Like the black day out in its cruel mourning  They all carried away without stop . 

Part 16’

Then with the minutest his life sing 

For morn requested before some mourn When compel the passers by a little passes To the valley of death tis’ the place of skull And the son of the lord nor his will would drink When mixing with myrrh offered him wine Yet rant up many that the garments tell Isn’t Earth the garden of hell 

The next crucifix for was risking decide What each to his garments attempted the faith That the hour on the third to his end place Such with label imprints,“ The king of the Jews” With two robbers charged and each crucify One to his left and another to his right For his forbearance poured much whims That would scriptures to all sins come

By counting repentance in sinners will  

Brought home to God the powerful union . 

Part 17’ 

O’ where like the wandering heads say And those wagging presence derided his past ‘once would destroy and rebuild in three’, ‘For save yourself and descend from the cross’ Or the chief priest with the tailored kind ‘when the others save but cannot save your self’ Yet to the sixth hour when dark the land Lest crucifix , that they must look and believe  Till the ninth stood nor the bright breathe On time will loudly gale, 

“Eloi Eloi Lema sabachthani” 

For Jesus cried ,“ My God to your will forsaken ”,

Hearing his voicemail o’ cried the lord The calling onlookers big with Elijah’s fire And gave him drink , for if Elijah’s waiting Pouring on a reed with bitter sponge wine Yet by utter loud Jesus breathes his last And rip up in two from top to the bottom  The curtains of the temple face it’s torn Administering to those uttered the centurion ,  “True to his will befits the son of God”. 

Part 18’ 

Therefore the distance took , isn’t map poise? 

When to Jerusalem from Galilee , how long it took? 

With his followers presence his own end make What eve have come to what day’s blend

Once before the Sabbath, that day slows For grant that the corpus be - his granted confer Which asked Joseph risking his brave will  For the body of Jesus deserves his just But to the pillate’s shock- why long death took ? And from the duty went freedom’s summon Or rest in peace from cruel , is mercy own ? Shrouding a linen when wrapped him laid In a tomb listed and cut out of the rock And rolled a stone up against the wide That no one in their arrival must him find 

But Mary Magdalene and the mother of James  eyed 

Where to him laid let them go and anoint him On the early of the quick as the day’s sun risen .

Part 19’ 

When they along with Salome went there The stone off it’s broader roll back thus Yet entering saw a young man sat right 

Dress up in white who nor would alarm then At their seek when not the body there For Jesus of Nazareth from slumber had risen Yet must inform the others what they had seen When this he told but the other’s didn’t inform  Or tremble with astonishment had them seized What in that flee for they were afraid then  

This to Mary Magdalene first - his appearance  count 

Whom he casted out seven demons once Next , she told others who nor would believe  That in alive took they mourn and wept

But an another two who his vision seen Then tell to more ears but dress up doubt Yet at the table reclining  

received him eleven 

Nor with the hardened heart nor atheism show That by belief hasn’t Jesus once told For they must proclaimed the gospel’s truth On baptisizing men, Lord’s to the whole world.
