Christianity Poems
Thank you Lord!
by Graham Ereks
My heart is filled with songs of praise,
For when I am down you alone raise
Me. When I was nothing you made me fly
And now I jolly ceaselessly, so worth it.
I'm the guilty one but you sacrificed your son
Who descended willingly, got scotched by the sun,
Uncladded, tortured and mocked, what a rawdeal!
Now I stand before you blameless and worthy Do I deserve it?

24. The Fallen Testimony
by Kea Campbell
I taught you to think, to attain your clever.
I gave you the greater, the power, the pleasures.
I am the prince of this world and a god of freedom.
I bestow unto you, your riches and values, your own arboretums.
Pointing fingers and slack-less triggers.
How is the blame mine when you are the sinners?
Struck by the heel that I breathed liberty into.
Only fools long deliverance for a decision irrevocably due.

17. Dead To Faith
by Kea Campbell
Time and time again; sin after sin after sin.
Time and time again; repent, repent, repent.
Nothing ever changes because you refuse to peer within.
I always expected more, but with you, I will never be content.
He planted a seed and watched it sprout.
But you have forsaken Him; just wait until there’s drought.
Pouring into all endlessly, my love too, never exhausts.
Because He is the giver of all, and the reason all are uncrossed.

Oh God
by Joseph Ogbonna
God almighty of generations all,
who did witness great empires rise and fall.
We gladly wait for thy eternal reign,
when saints martyred will beam with smiles unfeigned.
God immortal of centuries ageless,
whose dexterity carved our global ball.
When will thy saints the new earth inherit?
where conduct is guided by thy spirit.

15. Baptism Sentiment By The Confined
by Kea Campbell
It comes in waves, yet all waves stay.
No currents in this tub, her worries astray.
Swimming in thoughts and welcoming prayers.
Sitting chest-high, surrounded by raisers.
Eternality fine-printed, and she signed His waiver.
She grants her last breath, and submits to her Savior.
Plunged for five seconds, but too short and partitioned.
Immersed a bit longer, ‘cause six’s too wicked.
Seven is His, and now she’s forgiven.

Prayer
by Joe Cyr
Prayer is how we officially converse
with the majestic King of the universe.
From castle grand or house of sod,
Prayer lets us commune with our God.
To glorify Him Who loves us all;
thank Him for favors large and small.
To ask for patience and strength sustain
for trials ahead - to accept pain.
Prayers are used to seek support

How We Pray
by Joe Cyr
The focus of the lesson today
is the manner in which we pray.
Some pray with lips that mouth each proper word;
others do good deeds, ‘though they’re seldom heard.
Some pray too loudly, as if God were unhearing;
many strut proudly, with manner overbearing.
Some criticize others who pray less stylishly,
but isn’t that just a form of unjust hypocrisy?

If I Had the Time
by Joe Cyr
(couplets)
If I had the time, I could do much more;
if I had the time, I could all outscore.
I could work hard to improve everything;
given the time, I could do most anything.
Like pay more attention to my spouse;
and do those odd chores around the house.
......
Heaven
by Joe Cyr
I
What is Heaven really like? Dare we explore the question?
Or is it disrespectful to make such a suggestion?
Now, God has blessed mankind with insatiable curiosity,
and therefore ‘tis proper to examine the philosophy
of eternal just reward for whom countless people pray,
who yearn to be with their God
on that fateful Judgment Day.

Nothing shall be impossible
by Joe Cyr
(hymn)
“. . . If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. . . .” Matthew 17
Nothing shall be impossible
‘though breakers crash ahead;
if trust in Him stay unshakable,
we have little here to dread.
My faith shall be the power source
