My God, By James Anderson
Are you feeling alone,
Neglected and rejected
Try “My God”, He’ll give you comfort.
If you are feeling down,
Depressed or despaired.
“My God” will speak to you with gentleness.
If you are confused and uncertain,
Have doubt or just want confirmation.
“My God” will give you clarity and understanding.
When you need someone to talk to,
Or just looking for guidance,
“My God” is quick to listen and the best leader.
When you are filled with fear,
Worry or disappointment,
Lean on “My God” for He is solid as a rock.
“My God” displays kindness and honesty.
He’s loving, caring and merciful.
Not to mention trustworthy,
Infinite, almighty and always on time.
This is “My God”,
Who is yours?
Poem by Demetrius Cole
I got a new life,
I got a new mind,
I am a new creature in Christ Jesus,
That’s the reason I was born again.
I got love, peace, deep in my soul.
I got hope, purpose, and heaven is my goal.
I live better than ever before for the things I used to do
I do not do anymore and the places I used to go
I don’t go anymore because
I got a new heart and
I am made a new start
Put your Message on the Lower Shelf by Rocky Froemel
The simple fact that Jesus died,
And that He died me,
Is that too elementary for such a soul as thee?
Has higher education polluted such a mind
That one would need a scholar
A better way to find.
The gospel is for children too
Where they can read themselves.
So put those facts where they can reach
On the lower shelves.
The humanistic intellects
Have surely gone astray,
They tell the old, old story
In their Universal way.
Isn’t it enough to know
That Jesus died for me?
And if I ask forgiveness
Christ will set me free?
Christ came so that the simpleton
Can know and understand
The truth of God’s great love for them
Just as He had planned.
So put your message on the lower shelf
Where the children all can reach
So that they too may understand
When they hear you preach.
My Turn by Jammie Hendrix
Contemplation of contemplations may seem a bit much.
But how else might I describe my latest introspect and such?
I sensed a rip in the ripple of my youth.
I felt a nip in the nipple of my tooth.
All these years have all my elders lied?
The silver in my chin has only shocked my pride!
they said “grey equals wisdom” but have I grown wise?
Can I now see a man’s heart through his eyes?
Now that I’m older shall I play the sage?
Is wine really finer when aged?
Nonetheless, if it is my turn
to bless younger ones with pearls and nuggets,
Then in the vein of “There once was a wise man”,
I gracefully embrace my rugged.
Holy Land by David Martinez
Our Lord and angels watch over Israel.
The holiest land of all of the world.
Now the 3 wise men followed a star
To meet the new Savior of all,
Ah. I see.
In the city of David called Bethlehem
Christ the Lord is born to save the torn.
To ease the pain, to heal the lame.
Proclaim that games are lies, not real,
Re-teaching for free
and now the words in the Bible are living in me,
I get on my knees and ask the Lord
Please give me the will to always believe
and bless my new year.
My nose in the Word and saved by the light
God bless the holy land tonight.
Poem by Greg Ennis
Just for me
Just for You
His word is given
That we may understand
Which way to turn
Words of Wisdom to speak
He has given us knowledge
Of both darkness and the light
It’s all found in our hearts
His law has been written there
Consider His Love
Our choices are clear
His words were written
To give us understanding
Just for me
Just for you
Changed by Richard Rocha
Your forgiveness is true and You help me through;
following Your footsteps I’m learning to do.
No longer in pain, set free from my chain;
with hands lifted high, Lord, I praise Your name.
Your death set me free,
You arose on day three;
when I trust in You, faith carries me through.
Thank You, God, for all you put in my life to pave the way for me, that You are near, You’re always by my side. I’m grateful for Your comfort in my pain and for Your peace. Thank You, Lord. Amen
Lost Love by Phillip Schwarz
My crime is between us
My sins may keep us part
Each letter brings you closer to my heart
There’s no reason to fear
I will offer my heart
Will you place it in your care
It won’t be long now
My time is near
I’ll show you I love you
And prove I am sincere
“It Should Have Been Me” by Theodore Sanchez
It should have been me,
Hanging on that tree,
Watching your sorrow and pain,
Our Sin bearer and what we gained.
It should have been me,
Standing afar off, mother and friends,
Tears of grief that could not mend,
My father turning His back on thee.
It should have been me,
The One who sets us free,
The apostles who were there,
Sought my Jesus with care.
It should have been me,
The shepherd was struck and they flee,
The cross was heavy and hard to bear,
On the road to Calvary, his loving care.
God Watches Over Me by Phillip Schwarz
From within these prison walls,
I look but cannot see neither grass nor trees
It matters not to me,
For I am locked in my cage
There I must stay.
In my cage.
I feel the power around me
For God has sent the Spirit of Jesus,
The Messenger to guide my way
Here I must sit,
But I am not alone
For God is always with me
In this cage they called a cell.
I fear not for tomorrow,
By God’s Words He will guide me
Yes, He will watch over me.
Our Family by Robert Yancey
Our family is a circle of strength and love
With every birth and union it grows.
Every crisis faced together
Makes the circle stronger.
Hope you understand that
Our struggles in our Godly family
Is to keep us strong in our faith.
For Those Tears I Died by Dennis Stevens
This is for those on the outside looking in; for all the kids caught in a predator’s sin.
For second-hand clothes and worn-out shoes; for that lie that we were born to lose.
For all the things which went bump in the night; for all those wrongs that never got right.
For everything stolen by Satan’s hand; for every detour not in God’s plan.
He is the Way-maker when there is no path; He is forever when we need things that last.
He is the Chain-breaker, to the lock with no key; He is the solution to what’s wrong with me.
He will restore what’s been taken away; He is words of comfort when I need Him to say.
Trust Me, I’m here for you; and all that’s twisted I want to undo.
I long to fix every break; because you’re My child, you are no one’s mistake.
Your path wasn’t easy, but it gave you depth; and I was beside you as you took every step.
I knew your hurt would one day heal; so I had to allow it, to teach you to feel.
Now that you’re ready and willing to share; go tell this world just how much I care.
Help the hurting learn to believe; and through your giving, you’ll start to receive.
Well done, My child, so dry your eyes; I love you so much…that for those tears I died.
A New Start by Jeremy Willis
Battle-hardened, war-torn eyes
The pain within you can’t disguise
Callous memories deep inside
Love for most has all but ended.
Gentle Father, soothing grace
Holds me in His warm embrace
Debts forgiven, slate is clean
Sins are now to him unseen
A hint of feelings, soon to grow
Unconditional love to me, He’ll show
A fleshy heart where a stone was set
A friend unlike I’ve ever met.
His big plan for all creation
The head, the corner of the foundation
His son He sent to bear our shame
So life eternal we would gain.
Think about it, your heart will melt
Gratitude and feelings you’ve never felt
Rely on Him, our hearts He’ll hold
The most amazing story ever told.
Please Release Me by Jeremy Willis
Please release me, these chains are so tight.
Please release me, this just isn’t right.
My feet are shackled, my hands are cuffed,
Please release me, I’ve had enough.
God, will you help me? I’ve had enough.
Please release me, I pray every night.
I know that I hurt you, through ways of my sins.
Please release me, this time I’ll win.
Through prayer and his Almighty Power,
He gave me the key.
Now I’m no longer in chains, my soul has been set free.
