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

Praised in worship
The Savour King
Hallelujah
We love to sing

Praised in worship
The Savour King
Hallelujah
We love to sing

Silent night
Cattle lowing
Shepherds see
His glory growing

Swaddling clothes
In a manger laying
A virgin mother
A father praying

Frankincense
Myrrh and gold
Precious gifts
To be hold

Silent night
Hallelujah sing
Ancients foretold
This very thing

Born be he
The lion and the lamb
That silent night
The great I Am

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

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

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

The Olden Days

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

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

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

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
