Poem On Love And Death: Saying Goodbye With Care

in Spiritual Poems about Death

Take a hand
Hold it near
Wipe away
The things we fear

Take a hand
Hold it near
Wipe away
The things we fear

Gently say
The whispered prayer
Caress the tear-streaked face
And gently care

A gentle touch
A promise to keep
Lay your head
Your soul to keep

Close your eyes
Seek his face
Waiting in heaven
For his embrace

The kindness
In a hand to touch
A moment in time
That means so much

Be the one
To say goodbye
Safe journey dear
In the heavenly sky

THE GREAT STONE

Easter is a time to celebrate our freedom, forgiveness and the amazing grace poured over us
Jesus is the son of God.

The last super
The veil is torn
Death was arrested
And my life was born

The last super
The veil is torn
Death was arrested
And my life was born

Freed from my sin
When he raised the cup
Remember him always
When you share in the sup

Appeared was he
To those whom he loved
Tell all the nations
The lamb is beloved

Prophecy fulfilled
Now it is done
Jesus assended
He is the one

The great I am
The lion and lamb
Blessed all decebdants
Of Abraham

Never the ending
Of what's to be told
Grow in your faith
The great atone has rolled

The Power Of The Resurrection

in Easter Poems

We've been given the greatest gift,
The most precious, wonderful promise ever made.
It's about the resurrection.
This truth will never fade.

We've been given the greatest gift,
The most precious, wonderful promise ever made.
It's about the resurrection.
This truth will never fade.

His gift is for all eternity,
Not just a moment in time.
He's given us a mind-boggling gift.
He was innocent of His crime.

Released from the burden of our sin,
The veil was torn to free.
A promise delivered as the prophecies told.
The ancient ones could see.

Nothing can separate,
No man-made intervention.
We are saved from our mortal sin
By the power of the resurrection.

He came and walked with us
With twelve friends he taught and prayed.
Three years of dedicated ministry,
In His blood our debt is paid.

Amen

The Very Essence Of Christmas

in Christmas Poems

Three wise men followed
Yonder star that starry night
Shepherds watched their flocks
Angles sang with delight

Three wise men followed
Yonder star that starry night
Shepherds watched their flocks
Angles sang with delight

Laying in a manger
In swaddling cloth was wrapped
His mother gazed into His face
Whilst her baby napped

Born in a filthy cattle shed
Cattle gently lowing
Yonder star light lit the scene
The world was not yet knowing

Gifts brought to adorn
Frankincense, myrrh and gold
Began the very essence
Of the greatest story ever told

Unfurled His life would be
At His Father's plan
Opening the world to truth
For His endless love of man

He came to work amongst us
Born from the nativity
He gave the greatest gift
His life for eternity

Poem About The Loss Of A Soul Mate

in Husband Death Poems

You're not here
For me to see
My heart longs for
The day to be

You're not here
For me to see
My heart longs for
The day to be

In your arms
Nothing harms
No tears fall
Your voice will call

Sun setting skies
Seagulls cries
You take my hand
In the soft cool sand

Always with me
My heart can see
The voice in my heart
Says you're with me

in God Poems

Then sings my soul
Your abundant love for me
A sinner in the world I am
Raise me up to be

Then sings my soul
Your abundant love for me
A sinner in the world I am
Raise me up to be

Greater than I could be
My faith in it's weakness
By your loving grace
You created my uniqueness

Farther lift me up
Lead me by your light
From blindness and the darkness
You are my visions sight

Steps that lay ahead
Rocky is the road
Heavenly father lift me up
Your yoke is the light load

The story of my life
In your hands it be
Bless me I'm the sinner
Lord lift me up to thee

My soul sings for you lord
The sinner that you saved
Jesus lift me up to be
Worthy of the road you've paved

Deeper than I know
Holy spirit in me fill
May a glimpse of your glory
Come forth and in me spill

Amen and hallelujah
Jesus walks with me
Towards your holy light
Lord Im forgiven in thee

Find Your Place Of Peace

in Spiritual Poems about Nature

Where the ocean meets the sky
The setting colours stun
A picture painted by the Lord
Of the things to come

Where the ocean meets the sky
The setting colours stun
A picture painted by the Lord
Of the things to come
Gently blows the cool night breeze
Waves rhythmically lap the shore
Grains of sand sculpt and mould
Of the plans that lay before
Breathe deeply in the scene
The sand between your toes
Sculpting your footprint
Of where each step goes
Breathe deeply in the scene
Put your faith in your Father
In all the things unseen

The Beginning Of Great Joy

in Christmas Poems

Prayers and songs sung
To praise His holy name
A nativity scene began
The scene we've come to claim

Prayers and songs sung
To praise His holy name
A nativity scene began
The scene we've come to claim

He lay cradled in his mother's arms
She gazed into his face
Tiny baby born
To save the human race

Shepherds came to see
Born in a filthy cattle shed
A manger he lay swaddled
Straw for his tender head

From the womb to the tomb
He came to walk the land
Cobbled streets and hilltops
Led by His Father's hand

So very precious is the gift
More than frankincense, myrrh, and gold
Lasting through eternity's days
God's glory to behold

The Old Christmas Card
- Published: December 2020
in Christmas Poems

I found a little Christmas card.
‘Twas in a box of stuff.
I opened it and read it.
Its verse was written thus.

I found a little Christmas card.
‘Twas in a box of stuff.
I opened it and read it.
Its verse was written thus.

"Season's greetings and salutations.
Best wishes and all the best.
Happy New Year and live long,
And may you be God blessed."

There was something written
Below this little verse.
It was written in your writing,
Just like we would converse.

I felt the love in those words
Written by your shaky hand.
Tears filled my eyes,
As you can understand.

I love that little Christmas card.
My heart strings are all a strum.
That little card means so much
Because it's signed, "Love, Mum."

Excellent. I lost my father 4 years ago, and ever since, I have been saving Christmas Cards given to me by my mother. At age 85, there is no guarantee she will be here this or next Christmas....

God's Love Gives Us Certanty

in Religious Poems

We live in a funny world
Filled with trouble and strife
Challenging everything
In our Christian life

We live in a funny world
Filled with trouble and strife
Challenging everything
In our Christian life

We know what's black and white
And there's right and wrong
It's such a turbulent world
That God seems all but gone

Caught in a whirlwind
Of uncertainty
Our God has given us
A sense of stability

The truth is written
In the words He left behind
Written centuries ago
To give sight to the blind

Fumbling around in darkness
Of humanity's sin
Bombarded by the enemy
The truth lies within

Our Saviour of our sins
Came and walked the earth
For God so loved the world
Jesus gave us His holy worth

Shout out your Saviour's name
He is the truth and the light
Our sins are forgiven
In His blood to make things right

His promise is our legacy
Unshaken is Heaven's gate
Never be defeated
It's an unshakable debate

Raise your voice and praise Him
For all your life is worth
God gave us His only son
In a baby's birth

Embrace Him with all your heart
Our broken world needs restoration
Don't be silenced, share His love
Evangelize in your nation
