The Greatest Gift Ever Given

in Religious Poems

God of glory
Majesty
Born and died
To set me free

God of glory
Majesty
Born and died
To set me free

They buried him
In a borrowed tomb
Fools thought they'd sent
Him to his doom

Three days on the morning
Away the stone rolled
Empty was the tomb
Just as ancients told

He's not there
The angels said
Go and tell everyone
Jesus is not dead

Fear in the hearts
Of his friends
Jesus told them all
This is not the end

The resurrection, friends
Is the greatest gift
A sacrifice Jesus made
From sins to lift

No burden on our hearts
He has set us free
God's amazing grace
Washes over me

The Olden Days
- Published: March 2022
When Life Was More Community Oriented

in Change Poems

Back in the day, life was so clear
Families gathered and shared in the cheer
We spent our Pounds, Schillings and Pence
A time when our society had more sense

Back in the day, life was so clear
Families gathered and shared in the cheer
We spent our Pounds, Schillings and Pence
A time when our society had more sense

A time when children played in the streets
When everyone knew you from the top of your head to the shoes on your feet
Days when your neighbours would lend a hand
When hand-me-down clothes made you feel grand

Respect was abundant and a pleasure it was
Now our society has forgotten it because
We think we are so advanced in our mindset
In my opinion, we've lost our best bet

Doors were not locked but open to welcome
Now they are all locked up, unfeeling and unwelcome
I wish for the days of my childhood
When going to church did your heart good

The days when we spoke so fondly of life
Those days have passed us, now filled with strife
We've turned our backs on the important things
We miss all the love that knowing God brings

Wouldn't it be grand if we could have those virtues
I believe if we did, it would solve some issues
Wish we could go back to those bygone ways
And revisit the values of the bygone days

Find Your Calm, Quiet Space

in Poems about Spirituality

Peace in Him
The calm and still
Close your eyes, child
The spirit will fill

Peace in Him
The calm and still
Close your eyes, child
The spirit will fill

Calm the storm
Smooth, silky waters
Lay still, child of mine
My sons and daughters

Find a quiet place
In a world away
Take that special time
Be and pray

Be refreshed
Fill with the spirit anew
God's always there, child
Always there for you

Hands in your hand
Footprints laid
Follow him always
His plans are laid

May The Lord Give You Peace

in Prayer Poems

A child lay tenderly
For the Lord to bless and keep
His face to shine upon you
A prayer for when you sleep

A child lay tenderly
For the Lord to bless and keep
His face to shine upon you
A prayer for when you sleep

May He be gracious to you
And His face to turn towards
A promise upheld in heaven
His child finds rewards

From all burdens be so free
His love shall never cease
Rest child, in His arms
May the Lord give you peace

Amen

MY JESUS

I was deeply inspired by a Television program called Touched by an angle.
It's simple beautiful message, lifted my soul in each episode.
The honesty and strong message that God lives each of us so much and deeply.

Raise me up in your joy
When my heart fears
Take my hand father
Wipe away my tears

Raise me up in your joy
When my heart fears
Take my hand father
Wipe away my tears

You are with me always
In the night my heart be still
My prayer lord Jesus
The Holy spirit fill

I'm your stumbling child
My faith needs your hand
Leading me towards thee
Across the soft cool sand

Your breath is the sea breeze
Gently blowing to cool my face
Your light sparkling across the ocean
I long to take my place

Lift me up lord Jesus
Walk this road with me
Heavenly Father I'm your child
I long to be with thee

TALK TO JESUS

Inspired by the fact 5hat children simply talk to Jesus and so we should as adults.
Talk to our Heavenly Father about everything and anything that's important in our lives.
He loves us beyond our comprehension, far greater than a sermon can preach, greater than a measured.
He simply loves us.
So talk to him.

Raise your hands
In your quiet place
Close your eyes
You'll see his precious face

Raise your hands
In your quiet place
Close your eyes
You'll see his precious face

Talk to Jesus
He wants to talk to you
In your quiet place
All hope anew

In His name always
Lift your arms to him
Praise in His name
Praise him in a hymn

He will always keep you
Nd bless you everyday
He will turn his face towards you
He'll be gracious to in every way

He'll give you peace
And bless you so amen
One day you'll be with him
Then you'll know when

To talk to Jesus
In his presence, in his grace
Loving to see
Jesus precious face

Be The Glory
- Published: May 2023
Poem About Redemption And The Grace Of God

in Religious Poems

To Him be the glory
To the alter, His call
His arms are open wide
It's open to all

To Him be the glory
To the alter, His call
His arms are open wide
It's open to all

Bow down before Him
He is the Lord of all
He is risen
Listen to His call

Hallelujah sing the angles
The resurrection of the Lamb
Fulfilling the greatest promise
He is the great I Am

His arms are wide open
His precious blood spilled
Let all the sinners'
Hearts be glory filled

Greatest treasures for us all
In heaven's high place
Cry and dance, dear ones
And seek His precious face

The Lamb Who Came To Save Us

in Religious Poems

He lay in a manger
She gazed into his face
A mothers love abounds in her heart
The infant will take his place

He lay in a manger
She gazed into his face
A mothers love abounds in her heart
The infant will take his place

To a son she had given birth
In a filthy cattle shed
Swaddling cloth wrapped him
So the wise men said

Worshiped was this little one
The precious lamb was born
He'd be destined to serve mankind
Beyond the veil torn

The stone hearted would despise
The lion and the lamb
They would be in denial
He is the great I Am

From the womb he was nursed
In a borrowed tomb he lay
His farther led his ministry
He wept, he loved , each day

Go beyond the heartfelt grief
Of our saviour on the cross
His beaten bloodied body
The crucifixion is not a loss

The heavenly angles sing hallelujah
Arisen is our sovereign King
In a borrowed tomb
The lamb gave us everything
