The Abundance of Your Mercy – A Christian Poem For Lent
The Abundance of Your Mercy – A Christian Poem For Lent In the hour of my tribulation, I fail the same trials and tests Time and time again.

Shine Your Light – A Christian Poem
As Christians, we are not only called to follow Christ, but also to lead others to him. Evangelism is a good thing, but all too often it seems the Great Commission is used as simply a way of spreading the Gospel through words. Very few people are actually converted through words alone. While Jesus’ words…

My God – A Christian Poem About Jesus and Salvation
My God – A Christian Poem About Jesus and Salvation My God has hoisted up the worldAnd bore its weight upon his shouldersWhile it was spitting in his faceAnd driving nails through his limbs like 2x4s.

Waiting For Wisdom – Keeping Faith During Hard Times
“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself…

Guidance Pave paths of love and humility That lead to your feet – Through scorching deserts and bitter winters That I may become patient and meek. May my woes and tears Not be shed in vain, But used as food for your seed, Falling and nourishing like rain. If the road I’m on stops abruptly…

A Fire In Winter – A Christian Poem About Receiving Jesus
Often, we have a misunderstanding about accepting Jesus into our lives. We believe that we are not able to come to him until we have cleaned up our act. Maybe we’re not completely wanting to clean up our act; maybe we want to clean it up, but are scared; and maybe we just don’t know how…

God’s Promises – A Christian Poem
God’s Promises It is said faith can move mountains,So why are you still looking for a way around?In the desert the Lord will raise fountains,So why are you still worried water won’t be found? It is said “a faintly burning wick he will not quench”*A weak heart he will not break.So why are you shielding…

A Poem About Sunrise and Morning – Dawn
Dawn – A Poem About Sunrise and Morning The fluttering of a thousand wings flap and fill the sky – blackbirds and geese fly to unknown destinations. The cool dew of morning runs down the grasses’ backs, gathering upon the soil. A misty fog hovers beneath the trees and the sun begins peaking out over…

A Servant’s Prayer
Lord, stir my heart to seek. Place my feet on the path where I may find. Give me the strength to throw my life at your feet. Allow me to leave my old desires behind. Bathe me in riches of your wisdom. May I keep me eyes open to the poor in need. Let me…

Resolutions – A Poem About Grace and Jesus
Another year.Another day.Another chance to seize destiny. To stand in front of the mirror,dreaming how much prettier I’ll be this year,glorifying and gloating in myself. But resolutions quickly falterand that glass altar I worshiped atshatters before I even make it to spring. This year, I don’t want a temporary fixfor a wound that reopens time…

Dancing With God
I saw you at the dance, glanced at you from the corner of my eye. But I was much too concerned with my appearance, felt too stained and ugly, so I let you walk on by. I watched you jiving out on the floor, wondering what it’d feel like in your arms, to sway to…

When Love Stepped Off His Throne
Strung high above, dangling and dancing among the darkest night, shines a light for all – a star that guides to the bread of life. A mighty King lies in a strange, wooden bed wrapped in unclean robes and lying on a pillow of straw, ox and ass gathered by his head. A beautiful Servant,…

The Cries of the Sheep
The sheep lie scattered across the valley, each one willfully wandering away from the fold. Heads down, walking blind, grazing on grass that devours the soul.
