Christian Poems
The Crosse Of Christ
by Walter Raleigh
Rise, O my soul, with thy desires to heaven,
And with divinest contemplation use
Thy time, where time's eternity is given ;
And let vain thoughts no more thy thoughts abuse,
But down in midnight darkness let them lie ;
So live thy better, let thy worst thoughts die.
And thou, my soul, inspired with holy flame,
View and review, with most regardful eie,
That holy crosse whence thy salvation came,

When I prayed to God,
He answered me with thunder,
With streaks in the sky.
My Crown of Thorns
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
You often ask me to be humble…
To comply as I endure so much pain…
I do so to please you, My Heavenly Father…
Unconditionally, without refrain…
As we are so often tempted…
By evilness with fiery horns…
Oh, Father, not my will, but thine be done…
As I sit here with my crown of thorns…

GRACE
by Wisdom Laud Bubune Orison
I'm blessed beyond measure
treasured above every other treasure
Not by pleasure
but by grace
grace that didn't consider my race
nor my pace
This grace considered me worthy
not because I'm wealthy
but because I'm filthy

The Tension of the in-between
by Sylvia Ochieng
Oh such a glorious invitation
What a spiritual adventure to walk with the Most High
Infinite God and finite man on a love expedition
Oh, what mystery encamps the steer!
Deeper still He woos intently
Through faith's alley abide completely
In the dark, uncertain, hear the voice
Follow steadily without noise

Waiting is revealing
by Sylvia Ochieng
Pause…let this moment sit
The work in the background needs time
Each phase requests an interlude
An introduction, a response
It must unfold right
Why should we fill up this space?
Being helpless is a scare
Stillness, why demand being there
So unnerving is the stare

Freedom is colorfully alive
by Sylvia Ochieng
Darkness engulfs, strangling every breath of hope
Restricting any kind of motion, muting every single cry
No color, No beauty, vagueness maps its scope
But his reign can still be curtailed
His arch nemesis wastes not its golden beams
The earth lays its crown down compliant with her blinding glow
It must be a crime to be this gloriously oppressive
But her elegance still sets gracefully in a romantic symphony
