A Collection of Christian Poetry

Heaven

Heaven, with all its God-filled splendor,
Is far greater than most anything.
My heart, full of love and valor,
Praises God and continues to sing.
Always will I praise God, for He
Makes the dead live and the blind see,
And gives to us of His love endlessly,
As we join Him for Eternity.

Redemption

Nothing can pay
For the pain
Ive caused
And
Nothing can ease
The pain
Ive endured
Just trying to
Survive,
Just trying to
Be happy.

Nothing can erase
My past,
My mistakes,
My regrets,
My worries.

Nothing but the
Blood of Christ
Can wash it all away,
Make it a whole new day,
So that I may
Re-enter the fray,
With a newfound strength,

That Strength from God,
That will help me through
All the strife
In my life,
All His trials,
His purifying fires,
His glorious plans,
So that at
His Heavenly Harvest
I may be called
A good and faithful servant,
And join Him
Forever-more!

Trials

We sow the seeds
God has given us:
We work the ground
Until the day of harvest:
All Things
Of Worth
Are Worth Waiting For,
Worth Working For:
And Gods Plan
Is Worth Everything
And All Time.

God makes the soils
Of our broken spirits
Fertile once again,
He plants seeds in our hearts
That we might begin to
Grow ready to serve Him:

And every day we must
Tend to our gardens,
With Gods Guidance
And brilliant, shining Son
Whose love is that
Ever-living Water
That daily cleanses
Our dry, parched earth.

In the end
God will renew us to Him
Through His One and Only Son,
That the curse upon man
May be broken,
And that we may
Rejoice in the fruits
Of our labors
In those trials
Made to serve the
Greater Glory of Go d.

Dear God

Dear God,
You were always with me;
Oh God,
You will always be with me;
My God,
You were and always will be
My God,
My Past,
My Present,
My Future.

God in Everything

Blanketed by
The warmth of
Gods Love,
Compassed round about by
Gods Great Creation;

I consider the constellations,
The ebb and tide of emotion;
And yet ponder how
So many could be
Unable to see
God in Everything.
*****

Omni Presen(ts)ce

I rest in
Gods
Presence
And
Ever Present
Love
Which
Tomorrow
And
Tomorrow
Present
New
Presents,
New
Victories,
A
New
Day,

A
New
Present,
A
New
Life,
Gods
Great
Gift,
Eternally
Present.

A Prose-Poem Prayer/My Psalm

God,

You never left me in the hard times. You were with me always, using the circumstances to teach me, lead me, show me how much You loved me, how to love myself, You, and others. Thank You.

Your Great Work is never done. You continuously create new heights and depths of glory and inspiration within our lives, our souls. You search my heights and depths to find what I never knew I had all the time: and if it is wrong, then please fix it in me, oh God; and if it seems good to You, make it better.

I pledge my entirety to Your Cause that I may help You lead everyone to Jesus, that we would all revel in Your Glory, for ever, and ever. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Eternal Hope and Glory

O God,
An eternity ago,
You wrote the verses of my soul:
Within me
Incessantly burns
The Flame of Hope;
My soul sings the song
Of sweet salvation,
Received from
Jesus Christ,
The Son of God,
The Son of Man,
And the Savior of
All Gods children.

Let us now work towards
His greater glory,
That an eternity from now
We can look back at our lives
Without shame.
*****

Eternity Begins Now

The Holy Spirit
Whose grace knows no bounds
Gives freely to
Any heart that
Believes
And Loves Him
And His Only Begotten Son
Whom He gave to us
That we might be saved.

The wisdom of the spirit gives
True sight
To the closed eye of the mind,
True hearing
To the deaf ear of the heart.
God even gives to us
Wonderful new dreams
To live out,
Life in abundance -
Such a joy it is
To work for the Lord!

Yet there will always be
Struggles
While we are
In this world -
We must remember that
God has put us here
To lead us every day into
A New Lesson,
A New Creation,
A New Heaven on Earth,
As any good father would.

It is the example of Christ
We should always strive for -
God has called us to be
Spir itual warriors
Who will dedicate
Their lives
To what is right,
According to
God's will,
And
Against
All odds.

Let us daily rejoice in God's great plan.
Let us rely on God's strength.
Let us play our part on
The stage of life,
The book of destiny,
The River of the Soul,
That we might have life more abundantly,
A Heaven on Earth,
Eternal bliss hereafter!
Let us continue to
Believe and dream,
For our adventures have
Only just begun!
Eternity Begins Now!
