Native American Poems

These poems are by Merwyn Arnold George. He represents the Hopi and Navajo Nations. Merwyn has gone through incredible pain and trials in his young life–but in the words of his friends:  “The Lord is redeeming this young man’s life!”

We hope the depth and beauty of Merwyn’s  words will bless you!

He has indeed met the “Chief of chiefs”!


Psalm of the Chief

The chiefs of yesterdays past did not last,
but You are the Chief among chiefs.

The war bonnet you wear is made of peace.
The crook You carry comforts me in my time of need,
and the tomahawk you have is reserved for your enemies, and not for me.
You ride upon a white horse of righteousness
and those who are in your way are broken to pieces
like the potteries which do not last.
Even mother earth quakes and bows under Your thundering footsteps
The drum you play resounds throughout the entire universe.
May those who try to silence Your war carry be silenced themselves.
You are the Chief among chiefs.
And I shall dance the good dance for You forever.

(c) by Merwyn Arnold George

You lifted me from the Grave

Like the disappearing winds of yesterdays pat,
so my deeds dissolve away when the Lord lays His hand upon me
Such was I, a drunkard, roaming the empty streets
of some distant faraway town,
not knowing the truth and where it can be found.
But, I heard the sound of Your sweet voice when I was on the ground.
You lifted me from the grave and set my feet on solid rock,
never to be undermined.

(c) by Merwyn Arnold George

You are the tree and I am the leaf

You are the tree and I am the leaf among leaves.
You touched my soul when I was in utter darkness.
You lifted me from my hand dug grave.
When I was alone, I was not.
Your angels of light hovered around me
when death was near, and rescued me.
The fear of death has left me
because You are the resurrection and the life
and I shall fear no evil.

(c) by Merwyn Arnold George

The Fire of the Holy Spirit

Mountains in the distance
Thinking little of your existence
Because peace has finally found God
Below the semi-permanent stars
You find yourself thinking of
The vastness of the God you serve
Words cannot describe the
Presence of the Holy Spirit
The fire which burns within
Your immortal soul, unquenched
By the fiery darts of the enemy
Wisdom and knowledge comes from the Lord!
Shout in the presence of the Lord!
Worship Him who gives life to the dead,
sight to the blind
And freedom to those held down
By the chains of Satan.
