John Harkness
I was born in Ballymena in 1966, and in 1969 my parents moved to Ballycastle, where I was brought up and educated. I then studied Architecture at University of Ulster and then at Humberside University, between 1985 and 1993. I am now living in Belfast and am an associate with an Architectural practice (David Ferguson & Associates) in Holywood. I am married to Jane form Rathfriland and we have a 3 month old son called Matthew. I used to be very athletic and into all types of sports, however I don't have time for sports now due to other 'duties'
I am 'born again' and most of my poetry would be influenced by the Bible. I have also written some poems for weddings and other special events.

Nazareth by John Harkness
|
Nazareth, Oh Nazareth
Why, Oh why, so blest
Nazareth, Oh Nazareth
Home for Heaven鈥檚 best
On your streets, the Son of God
In blessed Nazareth
On your streets, the Saviour trod
In blessed Nazareth
From boy to man, He became
In blessed Nazareth
The Holy One of God, the same
In blessed Nazareth
So little known of those days
In blessed Nazareth
Pleasing God in all His ways
In blessed Nazareth
Pure in heart and pure in mind
In blessed Nazareth
Always wise and always kind
In blessed Nazareth
