Christian thoughts as Poems

Special Flight InsightWhat of transformed bodies, not for me.
How could I cope with the heavenly?
A Precious GiftGod sent the sweetest cherub.
He put you in my arms.
April ShowersGod’s been watering all our hearts.
Of this, we do not doubt.
I Have a DreamGod gave to me a blessing,
A daughter of my soul;
Master of the StormLong ago, Jesus chose to walk, with you,
Through the coldest storm.
Never Stop DreamingI struggled, wildly, through confusion,
Under great duress.
I tore at it. I stumbled,
I cried out in deep distress.
Silent in the TwilightHow can I stay silent,
While waiting here below,
As the moonlight softly whispers
It’s enticing good night glow?
The Dragon WithinWhat is this thing within,
This heavy feeling of despair?
Is it a loneliness,
Or some confusing weight of care?
The Shepherd's StepCan you picture, in your mind,
A sheepdog on a hill?
He has in mind to do
Only as the shepherd will.
Gazing at RosesI gaze, sadly, at the rose petals.
For, they will, soon, be gone;
Missing You Might MatterIt was just a little note,
A simple minute note, sent with lots of love;
Posted on the spur of the moment,
With a prayer to God above
Need a friendGod’s been watering all our hearts.
Of this we do not doubt.
In planting only lovely things,
We get the good things out.
The Angel Stood AloneAlone? Am I alone?
Why do I feel thus all alone,
Walking in a sea of people?
The Master of the WindThe storms of life, that buffet sore,
We never want to blow our way.
But, the Master leans way down, to us,
With His gentle voice to say .
The passion of the crossDear Lord Jesus, give me a closer glimpse
Into Your heart divine -
As, You set Your heart with passion,
To Golgotha, for this heart of mine.
The Wheels of JusticeGod has His wheels of life,
Wheels within a wheel;
Intersecting circles,
Twirling spheres -
Times of life to seal.
To Know PerfectionI saw such beauty, heavenward,
While worshipping my Lord in prayer.
I looked beyond the sky to see
All my Lord has said is there.
With the Love We SharedIf tomorrow dawns and I am gone
Then, ever so softly, lift your eyes on high.
For, I won’t be laying there, within the grave,
But flying free beyond the sky.
An Healing TouchI am here to carry you
Through the stormy night.
Far Beneath the Bitter Snows"Give me sunshine or I die.
Please melt my freezing heart.
Restore the hope of spring, again,
To break the chill apart.
The Bloom of SpringI return my gaze to when life started, in the spring,
When all was fresh and new;
A little heart, so soft and delicate,
In belief that all was true.
Why Are You Weeping?No relief of deepest sorrow.
Oh, God, please set me free.
I feel so overwhelmed.
What future is for me?
God’s Angel ChildrenBut, the all-powerful God carefully watches every evil plan
And sends His angels to the task,
Teardrops Will Be StrangersHow long the cries, of heartache,
Echo in the darkest night?
Is there sweet relief for little ones
With no end of grief in sight
The Passionate PathOh, Father, as I see Your Passion,
What response resounds, within my heart,
Of the purpose of the Lord
To journey down that lonely path.
What Precious GiftWhen God chose, of His beloved Son,
To be lifted there on high,
What was the gift He gave
As He suffered there to die?
Wrapped in LoveOh, Lord Jesus, as I weep,
Until I see their face,
Please hold me in Your love.
Quiet MomentsOh, how the trials hurt my heart.
With nowhere to escape,
I am forced to run to God
And on His wisdom wait.
ApartThe enemy is charging.
The cold wind is raging.
What is my God about?
Dear DeathThis life, we have, is temporal.
So, we long for what will stay.
But, only eternity is permanent;
Of never ending day.
FaithJesus knew that we’d have trouble,
With grief churning in our mind.
But, He has given us His faith,
So heavenly thoughts we’ll find.
Give It AwayThe cold hard seed,
Just like a bead,
Lay shining in my hand.
He Knows The DustThe Master Artist takes a brush
And dips it in the finest paint,
Then, with a flourish of His Hand,
Begins with color very faint.
Heavenly DwellingPoor me, I live just in a tent
And groan for so much more.
I’m promised a heavenly dwelling.
Of this, I can be sure.
Heavenly GardenDo not weep for me.
For, I just slipped into a lovely garden room.
I live on, as you do.
We didn’t part. I just went ahead,
For you to join me very soon.
Heavenly HandsSince we have already died,
Then death need hold no stress.
His Crown of ThornsI need to cast my mind
Back to the crown of thorns
I deserved to be mine.
How Far AwaySomewhere, at the closing of today,
A lovely evening will come.
All pain and tears will disappear
At the setting of our sun.
In His lighthow soon we come to see
That, no matter how hard we try,
The situation does not change;
Though we may plead and pray and cry.
It is writtenOh, how I need the Word of God
Like food unto my soul.
Jesus HimselfJesus, Himself, drew near.
For, He wanted to walk with them;
My ResurrectionOh, Jesus, here You stand.
You came alive for me.
Your tender heart beats on.
For, You love so passionately.
Perfect PeaceI may not find this blessed peace
In a moment or a day.
If I’m struggling to understand,
It will take a while to pray.
Precious Gifts From the HeartDo you keep me from knowing all,
For, too much I’m unable to contain?
Are You showing me there’s greater joy,
In learning faith through pain?
The FlameCome in from the heat,
Away from the sharp,
Away from the steep.
Just lay your head down
And let go of the pain,
For you’ll be safe, here.
The Hope of LifeThe song is gone. Time goes cold.
Hope is stolen. All is lost. Why live on?
The Master DrawsAll lined up, then, inside the box,
With every other shade
To be a special source of joy;
The reason you were made
To See GodBlessed are the poor,
Who know their desperate need.
God rewards them with a kingdom,
Because eternity they heed.
WaitingNo matter what may come my way,
All that life will bring to me
Is to prepare me for Your coming
That I so long to see.
Within the winterWhen grief tears at our heart,
Our soul held safe from care,
Oh, how miraculous the peace sent from our Father
To hush ... within the winter that we bear.
Too Wonderful For MeIn the ancient land of Uz
Lived a gentleman called Job.
This man was pure and blameless
Because he feared his God.
The Potter’s Wheel of LifeI went down to the potter’s house
And watched him working at the wheel.
The Beginning of the EndingA young man, full of dreams,
Walks brave upon this earth.
He has so much to offer;
Full of eternal worth.
Release MeI want to find my need in God.
I want His will enthroned,
To encapsulate my heart;
To rest in Him alone.
Perfect in DetailHe is the One who’s always near.
You can have Him, everywhere,
To hear your every whisper;
All your silent prayer.
One Gentle PlaceI only know one gentle place.
It’s where I want to go.
For, there, I know the love of God;
The smile of His face.
Morning GloryBringing all of heaven
Close within my heart,
To lift my soul with wings
To soar upon the height.
A Place for usAll God ever needed
Was to keep us safely
Tucked beneath His wing,
From Dawn Until DuskGo up, go up, take hold of all.
God’s promises are yours.
Don’t be afraid. Don’t faint, in fear.
Hold Me Thrill MeI have found my One true love,
Who holds me to His heart,
Who thrills me deep inside;
From Him to never part.
All DoggoneSometimes, I cannot find my joy.
For, it’s all doggone.
A burden comes, to drag me down,
I cannot face head-on.
Kept When God made my living soul,
He put in me a craving thirst;
What would satisfy my heart,
How to put Him first.
His Eye is on the SparrowDo you sing for Jesus?
Did He give your song
To delight in your enjoyment,
Upon a Journey’s EndTwo roads to choose,
But which is the way to go?
What will help to show the path
That is the best to know?
