Christian Poets

Broken in spirit,

the words escape my lips,

“I love You, Jesus.

I love You, Jesus.

I love You, Jesus.

Please know that it is true.

I get weary, Lord.

I get weary, Lord.

I get weary, Lord.

I need your strength to get me through.”

In the quiet while I am still,

I hear in my soul.

“Keep trying, child.

Keep trying, child.

Keep trying, child.

I’m right here with you.

I hear your heart.

I hear your heart.

I hear your heart.

The blood I shed has cleansed you.”

My burden is lifted,

and I respond quietly,

“Don’t stop changing me.

Don’t stop changing me.

Don’t stop changing me.

Continue to have mercy and patience.”

A smile dawns on my face,

as I hear,

“Keep following me.

Keep following me.

Keep following me.

Let me lead you on.”

Renewed in Spirit,

healed in heart,

I continue walking,

beside Him on the narrow path.

Count the roses,

not the thorns,

a beautiful blossom,

to others show,

the depth of feeling,

so others know.

For love to grow,

like a flower,

a beautiful blossom,

starts within,

a carefully planted seed,

it does begin.

Blooming in time,

quietly and slow,

a beautiful blossom,

not by force,

for it to last,

needs a deep source.

Petals soft and delicate,

spread like a blush,

a beautiful blossom,

colours to shine,

the heart of the flower,

beauty I find.

A delight to the senses,

everything pleasing,

a beautiful blossom,

others to share,

without the flower of love,

life would be bare.

When in love,

count the roses,

a beautiful blossom,

moments to treasure,

sometimes heart-rending,

others of pleasure.

Count the roses,

not the thorns,

a beautiful blossom,

in its place,

scent will linger,

leaving a trace.

Love is a beautiful blossom.

So important,

Jesus prayed,

Jesus died,

Jesus will return.

So important,

God calls,

God blesses,

God teaches.

So important,

The Spirit comforts,

The Spirit helps,

The Spirit renews.

So important,

to encourage,

to strengthen,

to support.

So important,

missed when not present,

incomplete when gone,

deficient when absent.

So important,

imperative,

significant,

necessary.

So important,

talents unique,

planned for a purpose,

purchased with blood.

A precious person,

taken from this world,

and to you my friend,

love and prayers I’m sending.

For I know,

the loss of love,

the emptiness inside,

no warmth in the sun.

Tears soak the pillow,

until eyes are sore,

no comfort in words,

the heart in anguish.

For I know,

your heart is broken,

needing comfort, peace and love,

every moment of the day.

May you feel embraced,

by God’s compassion,

enveloped in His care,

the strength to live on.

May memories linger,

in the heart they stay,

a bridge to the past,

bring heaven to you today.

Day by day,

Lord, I’m walking,

the path that,

brings me to you.

Day by day,

Lord, I’m singing,

Love ballads,

inspired by you.

Day by day,

Lord, I’m talking,

every thought,

I’m sharing with you.

Day by Day,

Lord, I’m trusting

in the love we share,

and trusting in you.

Day by day,

Lord, I stumble,

something in my way,

to find your open arms.

Day by day,

Lord, I hurt,

by the world,

so I seek you.

Day by day,

Lord, I’m healing,

as the heart takes time,

for wholeness- I need you.

At first pleasing,

sugar coated lies,

promises of desire,

leave senses teasing.

Led astray by,

sugar coated lies,

found myself alone,

and asking why.

Blocking my way,

sugar coated lies,

obstructing my path,

ahead it does lay.

Presently I see,

sugar coated lies,

truth has revealed,

what blinded me.

Deceived no longer,

sugar coated lies,

the lesson applied,

wisdom makes stronger.

Now freed from,

sugar coated lies,

the days ahead,

dawns a new song.

My heart,

refined by fire,

it was broken and apart,

my heart is changed,

it is God’s workmanship,

to finish what He did start.

My heart,

refined by fire,

to remove all dross,

my heart is altered,

for God to possess,

He has paid the cost.

My heart,

refined by fire,

God shapes and moulds,

my heart is transformed,

to God it belongs,

in His hands He holds.

My heart,

refined by fire,

to give lustre and shine,

my heart is renewed,

to God freely given,

His work takes time.

My heart,

refined by fire,

pure and new to make,

my heart is enhanced,

to God devoted,

my soul is now awake.

 My heart,

refined by fire,

fortified and strong,

my heart is converted,

for God to abide,

my heart resists the wrong.

My heart,

refined by fire,

whole and complete,

my heart is reformed,

for God is faithful,

His throne, my heart, His seat.

Joy comes from,

what I know,

how valued I am,

Jesus left heaven,

God to show.

Joy comes from,

what I do,

how sincere I am,

Jesus served others,

God is true.

Joy comes from,

What I see,

how blessed I am,

Jesus sacrificed all,

God changes me.

Joy comes from,

What I say,

how thankful I am,

Jesus example,

God is the way.

Joy comes from,

what's in my heart,

how l love God,

Jesus does teach,

humility  is the start.

Eternity will echo,

of voices in praise,

over many generations,

God’s glory to raise.

Eternity will echo,

of hearts in love,

over many generations,

God’s blessing from above.

Eternity will echo,

of minds renewed,

over many generations,

God’s teaching proved.

Eternity will echo,

of souls won,

over many generations,

God’s grace in His Son.

Eternity will echo,

with souls, minds, hearts and voices,

over many generations,

God’s love in our choices.
