Worship Poems
The Cost of the Gift
by Christen Kuikoua
To be a Psalmist of the Most High is no light thing;
Thou leadest the multitude, yet thou must dwell in sanctification.
Thou singest before kings,
Yet thou art ever a servant of the King of kings.
Thy voice filleth the air,
But thy spirit must be hid in Christ alone.
For thy fall becometh the fall of many,
And thy compromise, a snare unto souls.

A Song of Faith and Resolve
by Christen Kuikoua
A Song of Faith and Resolve
Some say yes to Satan to reach their goals,
To sell their priceless soul for fleeting glow.
But I, Christen Kuikoua, declare, "No!"
For I have the Lord God Almighty's hold.
It takes hard work and reading of His Word,
It takes a bond with Him to truly see,
How best to praise His name in purity—
The Lord of hosts, by whom all life is stirred.

The Me, Myself And I God Must Die
by Christen Kuikoua
You who worship yourself,
listen carefully.
I won’t shout.
I don’t have to.
Truth cuts deeper when it’s whispered.
You raise your hands high,
but not to the God who made you.
You worship the mirror.
You exalt dust.

May this mortal sing Your praise?
by Baramundi Roy
Mighty God Whom heavens' angels worship
may this mere mortal man sing out Your praise?
For All Glorious God You are worth it.
Sing your song my soul and His anthem raise!
Sing, sing of salvations wondrous story
and of the way You came as Man to earth.
For Awesome God, You in Your great glory
entered our world born by a virgin birth.

Through Highest Heavens
by Abasiama Udom
Sounds of babes will ring through highest heavens,
calling man and beast to lay trouble and pain aside.
Calls of hallelujah will rise to the lamb upon the throne,
twenty-four constantly bowing, not a one in denial of his awe.
His truth and majesty reigning supreme.
Through highest heavens Hossana will rise to the throne,
nature and native land praising for beside him no one else is.
He is that is and is to come,
Bow! Worship through highest heavens.

Het Kapelletje van Oost-Maarland
by Mario Odekerken
Aan de rand van het dorp,
waar het land zacht golft
en de wind het gras beroert,
staat een kleine kapel.
Stenen die eeuwen verhalen dragen,
een houten bank die moe is van gebed,
en kaarsen die flikkeren
als adem van de hoop.
