I wrote this poem about my husband who had many
struggles.  He overcame a lot of them when he gave
his life back to the Savior.  We ministered many years
together then, he was struck with throat cancer and 
lost his voice but, he is still ministering with  a 
machine.

 

Clarence A. Jennings Son of the World Now, Son of God A baby named Clarence was given to a mother at a tender yet an older age she disappointed to find she was with child once again but only during her first stage. As her time grew near the happiness about this little one was certain to grow and a few years later it showed God s wisdom about his birth that she would surely come to know. This child was no mistake as some had foolishly thought and the devil would have liked to have prevented his birth as he and his demons at it had fought. Allen at an early age had struck out on his own, he dropped out of high school and began to work at age 15 and made payments of rent to his mother for their home. He had come to know Jesus at age 19 and was filled by His Spirit within but chose not at that time to yield and follow Him and instead began a life of sin. You know sometimes we have to get our fill of even vile and ugly things to appreciate the gifts of God and all that He to us can bring. And because he has tasted of this world and understands it bitter dregs God has called him Pastor Evangelist Prophet for his compassion and he would reach many adults as well as their kids. He had several years of ministry and preaching to the lost and then a vile and evil disease struck his throat and his voice from him it did cost. But even through this sorrow Allen has given all of himself to be used by God to glorify his King and will throughout eternity lift up his Heavenly voice in praise and worship to Him and he will gratefully sing.
