1. God Is
by D.E. Navarro
God (Who alone existed in Eternity
which is not a time frame but a place)
created (only God can create something
out of nothing) the heavens (firmament,
or universe, which is like a bubble in
the deep beyond which is the realm
of Light and Eternity. The heavens
are two-fold, the physical heavens
(time-space-matter-energy) are
the universe, the spiritual heavens are
the spirit realm—the angelic host)
and the earth (for humanity, earth is
our home and God made it for us, a
university of life where we could learn
to love God and thank God by our
free will choice to give honor and praise)
in the beginning (with the creation and
commencement of the heavens and the
earth, time also began for all creation
and that is why it is the beginning.
2. Eternal Age of God
by Katie Flower
Before the rising and setting sun
Before the slumber and rising of the Son
Before the turning angels of night
Before the fall of wisdom and her dark plight
Before the lamb breathed forth the garden
Before the lamb was washed with oil in Jordan
Before he was stabbed with error’s lance
Before the only child was born in silence
Before truth that the lamb of life brought
Before imperishable divinity
Before bright foreknowledge or forethought
Before the life of flowing eternity
Before Barbelo’s unveiling without strife
Before the mind’s spark became reality with life
Before light’s image appeared as a mirror
Before the spring of living water became clearer
Before there was clay, star or idol
Before there was even a before at all
Before there was a was as we thought
Before there was all or absolutely naught

by Brundaban
God generates world so first letter G,
God is Organizer; so O letter middle.
God for Destruction so end letter D,
God everywhere within world field.
God, Omnipresent forever present,
God Omnipotent and Omniscient.
God is good, God is Love or truth,
God Supreme Soul without death.
God guides God offers glad, bless,
God sources joy, peace, kindness

4. Christ Consciousness
by Brundaban
I bask in your divine light,
with a vulnerable demeanor in the arms of her lover,
whisper to me stories of unspoken words,
remind me of our connection to the Eternal.
Your love is endless,
peaceful, in which one must surrender,
to live and embody,
his eternal truth.
How I missed you!
I closed my eyes for a second, and forgot about our name,
while my heart was searching for you in my sleep.
But there you were – as I yield to your bliss alone.
5. Fate Gives
By Mark Tabaka
Fate gives not
what we demand
of living in life
Fate follows the
best intentions
choice by choice
Fate flows out
from each moment
butterflies ripple
Fate is not
what has been
it is unknown
Fate is finding
Karma in God
releasing desires
Fate is not
what has been
it is unknown
Fate flows out
from each moment
butterflies ripple
Fate follows the
best intentions
choice by choice
Fate gives not
what we demand
of living in life
6. Fully Out in the Open
by Anonymous
but now knowing what I’m worthy of.
Feelings of pain not so different
Between heartbreak and running from home.
To find you, I had to lose my way
Shatter the conditions of old.
The scared child within died.
New flames ignite, allowing the phoenix to rise.
This new space feels familiar
A realm known but never owned.
Courageously embodying wholeness
giving life to yesterday’s prayers.
I need no closure of the past
Only to trust the whispers of my heart.
Giving a sacred offering to the present
A love found fermenting in you too.
7. My Angel
by James Polk
I felt the love of an angel today,
For the first time since I walked away.
I’ve felt guilt and shame for so many years,
But the angel freed me of that through my tears.
I cried to him and confessed my sin,
I opened the door and let him in.
The angel greeted me with a smile,
He held me in his arms and said, “It’s been a while.”
He said, “My child, it is going to be all right.
No longer will you cry yourself to sleep at night,
All those times when you were full of fear,
It was I who pulled you through; I have always been near.”
He said, “I have loved you since the beginning of forever,
And my love for you will stop never.
My child, I am always there,
All you have to do is come to me in prayer.”
8. Every Scar Has a Story
by Kristina M. Decarlo
Every scar has a story.
What will mine tell?
What will come of this?
when I’m better, when I’m well?
I want my scar to tell
of how I’ve overcome,
of how I made it through,
of where I have come from.
I want my scar to whisper
about the pain I faced,
about this very hard time,
about the marathon I raced.
But mostly I want my scar
to speak of something greater
I want it to shout
about my living Creator.
Let my scar be evidence
that there is a loving Lord
who fought my scary battles?
and on whose wings I soared.
Let my scar proclaim
that all things work for good,
that by myself I couldn’t
but with my God I could.
Let them take a look.
Let them peek and see.
My scar shows God is great.
It points to Him, not me.
9. Whispers of The Lord
by Shannon Tackett
The Lord whispered to me, “I love you so,”
“Come follow me, my child, high places we will go.”
The Lord knelt beside me at an altar in prayer,
He wiped my tears and took away my despair.
“Come follow me, my child,” the Lord whispered to me,
“There will be no more pain but oh so much to gain.”
He said, “I forgive you now for all you’ve done.
Now it’s time to receive the love of God’s only son.”
His love was so warm, so bright and so true,
I could not believe my soul he had renewed,
He repaired my soul from the inside out.
It was then and only then I knew what love was about.
The cleansing power that fell over me,
Was the love of the Lord as he carried me.
“Come follow me, my child,” the Lord whispered to me,
“In that sweet holy land someday you will be.
You will see the Lord’s face at those big pearly gates,
Where loved one’s embrace and angels await.
Come follow me, my child,” the Lord whispered to me,
“I will love you always, your protector I’ll be.”
10. Day by Day
by Lenora Mcwhorter
Day by day, God walks with me,
and my burdens he helps me bear.
Each step I take along the way,
my loving Father is always there.
Day by day, I feel God’s love
encircling me all around.
His grace and mercy cover me
and pick me up when I am down.
Day by day, the Lord keeps me
from danger, hurt and harm.
Safe from the snares of the enemy
and protected from life’s alarms.
Day by day, I rely on the Father
to strengthen me when I am weak.
He comforts me with His love
and to my heart He speaks peace.
Day by day, I feel God’s presence,
and my spirit is always revived.
God is faithful to watch over me
as a father does his own child.
God imparts his grace to me
minute by minute, day by day.
By faith, I walk in step with him
as He guides me on life’s way.
11. Searching for God
by John P
When searching for God,
There’s no need to look far.
He’s not in the clouds
Or some far away star.
He doesn’t hide in the shadows,
Even though he’s hard to see.
God resides in the minds
Of those who believe.
Our bodies are a temple,
So be good; never stray.
Be truthful and honest.
Praise God every day.
For God is your spirit.
God is your soul.
God’s in your heart.
God is love; this I know.
12. He Is There
by Yasmin Raymond
God comes to us in quiet and simple ways.
He is there when the breeze rustles the palm fronds on a quiet, lazy, sunny afternoon.
When the raindrops softly patter on the thirsty tin roofs of the poor, he is there.
Look for him behind the laughing eyes of a child,
or smell him in blossoming jasmine flowers
on a clear and starry moonlit night.
Hold his hand when you take your love by the hand,
and feel the warmth of his tears
as you console a grieving friend in your arms.
He is there in a baby’s first cry
and in the dying man’s last sigh.
When the waves break on the golden sands
and the seagulls fly into the white clouds,
when the church bells ring on an Easter Sunday
inviting you to receive the sacred brad, he is there.
Taste him when you bite into the yellow ripeness of a mango
or when you quench your thirst with sweet water of a coconut.
God comes to us only in quiet and simple ways.
Never his presence in violence will you find;
never look for him in words of anger or cowardly actions.
His love and his peace surround us, above and beyond.
And only in those simple, everyday things
when we look with our eyes filled with his love
can we find him.
13. God of All Comfort
by Edarly Edouard
Our God supplies us everything we need.
When we need help, to Him we reach.
He is always with us when we are lonely.
He loves us so much and takes anger slowly.
Our God comforts us in our tribulation.
Our affliction is for our consolation and salvation.
God has established all of us in Christ’s name,
For in Christ’s name, we will never suffer in shame.
Glory be to God who sent the Holy Spirit.
If it were not for the Spirit, we would never have limits.
Our comfort abounds through Christ, while His suffering abounds us
We are all encouraged to know that Christ is our only trust.
In the name of the Living, there shall be no pain.
Beyond now and forever, our Lord is always the same.
God is on our side, so we don’t need to count on others.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of all comfort.
14. My Lord Told Me
by Kenny C
My Lord told me that His love would not fail,
as He showed me a hand that was pierced by a nail.
He told me I’m safe, started lifting the veil,
then my eyes became clear, I saw what life entails.
I saw beauty without measure and felt love’s complete peace,
I willfully surrendered but felt no trace of defeat.
I listened to my heart and caught the rhythm of its beat
as He says our hearts are one and that this is where love meets.
He told me that I’m His and He’d never let me go,
He just thought that I should know.
If there ever comes a time in life that’s really low,
look back to where our hearts met so that love can begin to show.
I smiled as I heard a melody of joy dancing through the sky.
It was my Lord singing this song to me of words I can’t deny.
He said He fought the battle and won it for me, there’s no need in asking why
because He’s true, loving, faithful, and kind–with Him I will never die.
I cried at the sound of His words for me, my tears soaking my face
He reached down and wiped the tears away and said, “No need for tears in this place.”
I said, “Lord, why would you do this for me? My life has been such a disgrace.”
He said, “Say no more, for it is done and my Father has dismissed your case.”
“Have trust in Me, as I in you, your life begins today,
though you may stumble along the path, I’LL help you keep your way.”
“I’LL never let you fall again, never lead you astray.
For your sins have all been forgiven my love, and for them you will never pay.”

This collection of poems reflects the beauty, mystery and power of God. Here you can explore a range of heartfelt poetry expressing faith, devotion and reverence.
1. Created
By Lisa D. Scott
When God created you,
He knew what he would see.
Someone that wasn’t perfect,
Or in heaven you would be.
He put you here on earth
To lead this life you live,
Learning as you go,
Giving what you can give.
He knew that you would stumble
And sometimes even fall.
He knew that you would suffer
And in Jesus Christ you’d call.
Mistakes and bad decisions
He knew you would make
To live and learn from them.
Sometimes more than you can take.
He’s had a plan for you
From the very first day.
Frustrating times will be,
But soon you’ll see his way.
Love, hope, and faith.
He’ll give this all to you.
Patience please, my friend.
How only if you knew.
The love you have inside you,
All the good that you do,
This does not go unnoticed,
And he shall see it too.
He’ll carry you if he needs to
And hold you when you pray.
He knows the pain you carry
Each and every day.
What’s brought you to your knees
Some gave up on you.
God will only keep around
The ones that see it through.
One day you will see
What I’ve been telling you.
The love that he’s been saving
He created just for you.
2. A Sinner’s Plea
By Allissa Thornburg
Is God still showing me love
As He looks down from above?
He silently sheds a tear
as He longs to be near.
To be His child is my true calling,
So why am I continually falling?
The sinners eternally cry,
For their broken wings just cannot fly.
Now I long to change…that’s what I say,
But why is it that I won’t pray?
What is it going to take
To finally make me break?
Where is that longing fire
That showed my true heart’s desire?
What will be the final cost
If I forever am lost?
I still am crying out to be free,
But is this my heart’s true plea?
I have it all right in front of me,
Still my covered eyes cannot see.
3. God Is in Control
By La’shawna Howard
No matter what you have been told
God is in control
Yes, they came with a report one day
But God has the last say
Rest assured he is near
No need to fear
Hold on to Faith real tight
Know that everything is going to be all right
When God is in the midst
Defeat doesn’t exist
You serve a God who can make a bird sing a beautiful melody
A God who can calm the sea
A God who holds your destiny
He is your healing spring
And in his hands he brings
Hope
Strength
Life
Love
Newness
and Joy
All just for you, because his love is everlasting and true
4. God, The Great Creator
by Debra L. Brown
A crisp, cool autumn evening,
Stars fill the night up high.
God, the great creator,
Decking out the sky.
A garden lit by the moonlight,
A rose kissed by His hand.
The beauty He created,
Even the smallest pieces of sand.
Petals of the roses
Glisten in the night.
The Master of creation,
His colors are pure delight.
From void He created beauty,
From dark He created light.
The Master of creation,
And to man He gave them life.
5. Silent Love
By Tiana Li
Silent love from God displays,
Stronger than turbulent waves.
Time after time the Israelites strayed,
Changed not God’s love in any way.
Silent love from God to you,
Let its sweetness cast out your blues.
The purest love from God to you
Fills the soul and makes it golden too.
Silent love from God on high,
Triumphs over passing times.
Highest and richest among its kind.
Worth more than all treasures combined.
6. Only A Prayer Away
by Sabrina
When all seems down and lost
Just think of he who died on the cross.
He shall guide you through
Your time of hurt and blue.
When you feel all alone,
Just think of him upon the throne.
He shall give you strength and hope.
Trust in him, and you’ll be able to cope.
There was once a time when I forgot
About him who never lets me down.
All day long I carried a frown.
It didn’t matter where I was;
At home or walking the town.
One night before I slept,
I thought of the promise I no longer kept.
I prayed hard and strong that night.
Since then I have no more fright.
So just remember at times not only of need
That the Lord, Our God is only a prayer away.
7. God’s Side
by Patricia a Fleming
I do my very best each day
Though some days prove worse than others.
I’m everywhere I’m needed,
No need more crucial than another.
I’m there to calm each worry.
I’m drenched by every tear.
I bear the weight of every heartache,
And I’ll defend against each fear.
I take the hand of those who have to go
And walk beside them to the Gates,
And sit vigil by the bedsides
Of all those who suffer still in wait.
I wrap my arms around those weary souls
Who lay sleepless through the night.
So laden by their anguished sadness
They’ve lost their will to live this life.
I whisper words of strength and tenderness
To give them hope again,
And fill their hearts with all my love
To help their souls to mend.
I have so many who depend on me
But I have endless love to share.
I can sit and comfort you alone
And still be everywhere.
But how the Devil works against me
As he wields his monstrous hand.
He sets his sights on all those fragile souls
And preys upon the sinful man.
I feel how angry and betrayed you feel
When the Devil seems to rise,
Convincing you that I don’t care
And am no longer by your side.
But I will always take your deepest pain
And carry it for you.
Even times that you give up on me
I won’t give up on you!
I know this life can be so wearisome
And the losses can be great.
But I will never leave you on your own
Or your faith in me forsake.
I watch you every second
And I see everything you do,
And what a wondrous sight you are to see,
When seeing from my point of view.
We are in this fight together
And there is nothing we can’t do
As long as you stand firmly by my side
And I stand steadfast by you too.
8. History
by Rick W Cotton
You were there in ’41 when the bombs came raining down
And there in 1945 when victory came to town.
With ticker tape and bands and speeches, loud and raucous cheers,
We all gave thanks to You that day, some through stinging tears.
You were there in 1950 in a far-off frozen land.
At Inchon, at Pusan, wherever we made a stand.
And ’53, when peace came, the young men came back home,
You were there among them; they never fought alone.
In 1963, on a bloodstained Dallas street,
Flags everywhere at half-mast, a nation stunned in grief.
A tiny boy’s salute that brought us all to tears,
A solemn march to an eternal flame, yet You are still right here.
In ’68, in Memphis, on a hotel balcony,
You were in the heart of one who died to set his people free,
And Your voice was in the echo of a thundering broadcast.
Though one shall pay the price…all are “free at last.”
Through Vietnam, through Watergate, foundations of our land
Were shaken badly to the core, but You alone still stand.
Our innocence was lost it seems; why did You go away?
You never really left us; it was we who went astray.
In Munich, 1973, when evil raised its head,
Black-hooded assassins, eleven athletes dead.
Where is justice? Where is God? Why did they have to die?
Yet, Your voice, calm and quiet…”Be still…you’ll get by.”
September of 2001, need I even say.
The burning pain inside us upon that blackest day.
Satan laughing with delight at all the evil done,
But we, who were divided…rose again as one.
Why is it that we only think of You in time of need?
Are we so deaf and blind? Why can we not see?
And you, Osama, you great fool, if you really want changes done
Why can’t you follow Gandhi, and King….and Jesus…. THEY all WON.
You were aboard Titanic, Lord, when she sailed out on the blue,
You were aboard Challenger, and on board Columbia too,
In a plane over Lockerbie, Scotland….in a London subway train.
Though evil swells from the depths of hell…in the end, You still reign.
I heard a verse long ago about footprints in the sand.
When the years are good, two sets of prints, we walk, Lord, hand in hand.
But darkness comes; we look behind, one set of prints we see.
These footprints are our history…. the prints belong to Thee.
9. You Never Promised Us a Perfect Life, But Only a Perfect Love
by Ralph P Quinonez
You never promised us a perfect life, but only a perfect love.
We seek you in prayer and look for you as you are,
Our everlasting savior, a bright and shining star.
Sometimes we are out there lost, seeking your acceptance,
But we know that your will for us will never be rejections.
Because I believe what the Lord has done for us completely,
His word is our life and his life is ours so sweetly.
We may struggle to make it each and every day,
But he put it in our hearts, and he shows us the way.
Our faith grows as our lives get more involved,
One small voice to guide us with issues you will solve.
Forgive us when we fall, and pick us up to start again.
We love you oh so much; you are such a dear and caring friend.
One day we will see our loved ones who have gone before your face.
The thought of us before you, just that warm and tender embrace.
Give us peace and comfort, for things we don’t understand.
Show us a serving heart, mold it into your master plan.
We live for only you, and your kingdom will prevail,
For our faith and love for you will help us to excel.
Bless our family and grant us serenity,
Because of you we now own our own identity.
Our faith, love and need is so everlasting within,
Shows how your love for us will never, never end.
Bless the less fortunate, and open their eyes to see your smile.
Give them the path to walk with you; you will make it all worthwhile.
Your love, your touch is the ultimate, until the very end,
Something we can actually never really comprehend.
Stay close to us, as you always are there when we are in need.
Bless us and our loved ones in your time, God speed.
The Lord never promised us that our life would be easily lived.
What he did promise was that his love for us would be easy conceived.
Amen

Unconditional Grace
Has done for me.

A dark and barren dream.

Refracted but a Countenance

5. Many Times Today I Will Cross Over a Threshold
by Gunilla Norris
Many times today I will cross over a threshold.
I hope I will catch a few of those times.
I need to remember that my life is, in fact,
a continuous series of thresholds:
from one moment to the next,
from one thought to the next,
from one action to the next.
Help me appreciate how awesome this is.
How many are the chances to be really alive.
Help me cross into the present moment –
into wonder, into Your grace:
the “now-place,” where we all are,
unfolding moment by moment.
6. On a Day When the Wind is Perfect
by Rumi
On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a
day.
My eyes are like the sun that makes promises;
the promise of life
that it always
keeps
each morning.
The living heart gives to us as does that luminous sphere,
both caress the earth with great
tenderness.
There is a breeze that can enter the soul.
This love I know plays a drum. Arms move around me;
who can contain their self before my beauty?
Peace is wonderful,
but ecstatic dance is more fun, and less narcissistic;
gregarious He makes our lips.
On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open
and the love starts.
Today is such
a day.
7. The Holy Ground We Stand On
by Laura Remmerde
Let me just go home and cook
Let me open the door
to the sound of children’s laughter,
and hear the birds diving for insects in the evening
sifting the wind with their wings.
Let me walk into the kitchen
and find a bird there on the floor
a bird small and hunched, wide-eyed
and lost, a little frog the size of a dime.
The silence will walk around me
like a long-lost friend, the perfume of dust.
of sawdust and pine sap seeping into my pores
and up into my nostrils, filling my lungs with wild sweetness.
Let me walk out onto the porch as the sun sets over
Greenhorn Mountain,
when the air blossoms with essence of gold light:
the kind that comes only rarely in a lifetime,
the kind that makes you wake up and stare and discover
that the bush that burns and is not undone is love,
and though you have come a long and dusty road to know this,
the ground your dumbstruck feet are standing on is holy.
8. Now Is the Time to Know
by Hafiz
Now is the time to know
that all that you do is sacred.
Now, why not consider
a lasting truce with yourself and God.
Now is the time to understand
That all your ideas of right and wrong
Were just a child’s training wheels
To be laid aside
When you can finally live
With veracity
And love.
Hafiz is a divine envoy
Whom the Beloved
has written a holy message upon.
My dear, please tell me,
Why do you still
Throw sticks at your heart
And God?
What is it in that sweet voice inside?
That incites you to fear?
Now is the time for the world to know
that every thought and action is sacred
this is the time
for you to deeply compute the impossibility
that there is anything
But Grace.
Now is the season to know
that everything you do
Is sacred.
Poems about God’s Creation

1. Creative Evolution
by Anonymous
When God created us we really knoweth not.
We know, for sure, He took five long days to make
Sun, moon, Earth and seas, plants, animals the lot
Oak trees, thrushes, tigers, crabs, hill, desert, lake.
One other day spent to craft: a puzzle solved?
His best creation, Man. Ruler of the world.
But man is ape. It can be seen; nay, proved.
Darwin’s dogma so ordains; a helix curl’d.
From primordial soup amino acid; how?
Twenty, more perhaps; to shape the blocks of life
Deoxyribonucleic acid, wow.
Piecemeal revolution rock and roll and jive.
Could both these sculptures of the universe be?
Dilate the days in one: Let it unto He.
2. When I Consider All God Made
by Deborah Ann Belka
Father, when I consider,
all Your fingers have made
how the sun slowly rises
as the moon begins to fade.
I’m in awe,
of the magnificence I see
in this amazing universe
You have set before me.
Father, when I consider,
the trillion stars in the sky
hanging on the dark backdrop
You placed so ever high.
I’m in awe,
of the works of Your hand
up above in the heavens
from down here where I stand.
Father, when I consider,
the stars, moon and the sun
I know beyond them . . .
is Your Kingdom yet to come.
I’m in awe,
of the splendor of my view
starlit glimpses of eternity
where I’ll be home with You!
3. God’s Beautiful Creation
by Deborah Ann Belka
God’s creation is beautiful
from the canary right down to the birds that sing
God’s creation is beautiful in each and everything
God’s creation is beautiful if we look around we will see
God’s creation is beautiful
including you and me,
when you look up at the stars at night, always remember that you are precious in his sight, wow God bless you all
How majestic his Name Amen
O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
4. The Beauty of Your Creation
by M.S.Lowndes
Lord, I marvel at your creation,
Such beauty to behold,
For you can be seen in all you’ve made
And in each regenerate soul
For you are truly magnificent,
And I stand back in awe
At each small, but significant detail
Of your created works, O Lord
For the beauty your creation unveils,
Keeps me truly amazed,
But so much more than all of this,
It is you, Lord, who I praise.
5. I Give You Thanks to My God
by Bernard Dadie
I give you thanks my God for having created me black
For having made of me
The total of all sorrows
6. The Creation
by James Weldon Johnson
And God stepped out on space,
And he looked around and said:
I’m lonely
I’ll make me a world.
7. The Tyger
by William Blake
Tyger, Tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry.
8. Savior
by Maya Angelou
Petulant priests, greedy
centurions, and one million
incensed gestures stand
between your love and me.
9. Sunday Morning
by Wallace Stevens
Complacencies of the peignoir, and late
Coffee and oranges in a sunny chair,
And the green freedom of a cockatoo
Upon a rug mingle to dissipate
The holy hush of ancient sacrifice.
Poems about God’s Presence
This collection of poems explores the presence of God in our lives and reflect on the strength and comfort we can find in Him.
1. Do You Know
by Desley Finedon
Do you know you’re no mistake?
God knew you before your birth!
In your mother’s womb He wove together
all your parts and gave you worth.
Do you know God knows your days?
Each one He fashioned; each decreed
and written in His book
before they came to be.
Do you know God loves you
with an everlasting love?
Do you know He draws you
with loving kindness from above?
Do you know God will not leave you
to sail stormy seas alone?
Do you know God’s plans succeed
wherever you might roam?
Do you know He carries you …
bears with… delivers too?
From womb to grey hairs, He is God:
His word to you is true!
Do you know – really know –
this God who loves you so?
2. God’s Love Is with Us
by Tom Zart
God’s love to us is our best treasure! Poems Book Cover – The Love of God
It comes above all human measure:
reaching higher than the heavens,
deeper than the deepest oceans.
It is wider than can span our arms,
but closer than beat of our hearts,
is around us like the air we breathe;
no one or thing can come between.
It is with us when the sun is bright,
as well, when clouds hide its light;
for even then the sun is shining,
though we do not see and are denying.
His love is with us as day breaks,
in noon’s heat and the dark night makes.
It is with us when all things go well,
but even days which seem like hell.
It is with us when things make us glad;
it is with us when our hearts are sad.
His love is there in every blow,
each joy and sorrow, high and low.
God’s love is present in sickness, health,
in poverty as well as wealth;
whatever the colour of our skin,
or race, or place that we’re born in.
His love was with us in the past
through every trial our way cast.
Today He knows and future span,
so for their needs His love does plan.
If tanks and guns are let to fly,
if bombs bombard us from the sky,
if strife and tyranny terrorize,
we still cannot from Him be prized.
God’s love is ours in Jesus Christ:
take hold by faith; this does suffice.
Nothing, no-one, not anything
can ever separate from Him.
3. God’s Presence and the Storms of Life
by Anonymous
The presence of God is not a mystery
When we surrender our soul to His will.
He sees us as His children of faith
And is willing to forgive and fulfill.
He shoulders our troubles and gives us peace
Flowers, songs, stars, wind, soil and oceans.
We learn that prayer is His power of love
As we struggle to maintain our emotions.
We may get lonely but we’re never alone
For God knows and feels our woes.
He is our Lord, Savior and Master
And has traveled every road we chose.
He knows we’ll falter, hesitate and weaken
Though He loves us enough to always show.
He whispers His words of grace and compliance
As the consequences of evil gather and grow.
David, Moses, Jonah, Samson, Peter and Jesus
We’re aware that God was their divine guide.
They changed the future of Christians forever
With the power of Divinity at their side.
The storms of life come to everyone
There are none who are immune.
Some approach in our later years
While others come to soon.
The Bible is our anchor
Our lifeline to endure.
Without its presence, we falter
And our future is unsure.
The Bible is our compass
To lead us through the dark.
Our souls lie among the lions
As we face the dogs that bark.
We cry out to our God Most High
Who performs all things in life.
To save us from our own plunder
Falsehoods, rebellion, and strife.
Conviction is our emotional union
As we weather the storms of Earth.
Thank God for His amazing grace
Which helps us reveal our worth.
4. Pleasing God
by Anonymous
Lots of us wish to please God
But we really don’t know how.
His ways are higher than our ways
Because we’re wicked, weak and foul.
God works according to His schedule
Which sometimes is a problem for man.
His love, grace, wisdom and understanding
Keep believers obedient to command.
We have no choice but to obey
Following His Holy Spirit and Word.
By living to conform to His righteousness
Our passage to glory is assured.
We see God’s works in the lives of others
How exciting and fascinating it is.
God can do the same for us as well
As our purpose becomes the same as “His.”
5. Things Will Be Different
by Tom Zart
One day things will be different…
Jesus will come back again
and gather His children together
forever with Him to reign.
One day things will be different…
a new Heaven and earth He will make.
We will live in His glorious presence
where sin can no longer partake.
One day things will be different…
the lion will lay down with the lamb;
a child can tread on a scorpion.
Peace, not hate, is God’s plan.
One day things will be different…
never more are we to die.
Our bodies, made whole and complete,
will not even need to sigh.
One day things will be different…
our possessions no longer will hold.
The Savior is preparing us mansions
to enjoy in a city of gold.
One day things will be different…
there will be no sorrow or tears;
no more suffering and sickness;
no more doubts and fears.
No more burdens and trials,
no more wrestling with sin,
no more pain and hurts,
no more evil things.
One day things will be different…
there will not be the tiniest sin.
Righteousness, the joy of living;
peace and love will always win.
One day things will be different…
all because Jesus died!
Conquering sin and Satan,
He now lives to redeem His bride.
One day things will be different
when God’s Day of Salvation arrives.
But those who ignore God’s love
will never receive His prize.
One day things will be different…
our minds can’t imagine the things
God has prepared for His children.
Of Jesus and hope let us sing!
One day things will be different…
persevere by looking to Jesus!
May this world not consume our thinking:
God’s love and His hope never ceases!
6. To Be in That Number
by Anonymous
To be one of the number that no one can count,
to stand with sisters and brothers no longer earth-bound,
from every nation and language, every tribe, every land;
all dressed in white, washed in the blood of the Lamb…..
In front of the Lamb, to join in the cry,
spontaneous and glorious as it rings through the sky:
“Salvation belongs to our God and the Lamb!”
The tears of earth gone; wiped away by God’s hand…..
To join with the angels and fall down on my face
and worship Him, the God of all grace;
to live in His presence, to serve Him forever….
this is my hope and brings joy without measure!
7. Perfect God
by Anonymous
Father God, above all,
supreme and matchless,
King, the Lord.
It is we who’ve made the mess.
You are perfect in every way;
perfect everything You made;
perfect thoughts; perfect purpose;
perfect delivery of plans You laid.
Perfect knowledge;
perfectly true;
perfect wisdom;
understanding too.
Perfect compassion;
perfectly faithful;
perfect in power;
perfectly able.
Perfect justice;
perfect love;
perfect salvation:
at the Cross it was won.
Perfect provision;
perfect protection;
perfectly good:
Father, Spirit, and Son.

1. God’s Grandeur
by Gerard Manley Hopkins
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?

Wilt thou forgive that sin where I began,

4. To Find God
by Robert Herrick
Weigh me the fire; or canst thou find
A way to measure out the wind?
Distinguish all those floods that are
Mixed in that wat’ry theater
5. Ash Wednesday
by T.S. Eliot
Because I do not hope to know
The infirm glory of the positive hour
Because I do not think
Because I know I shall not know
6. Hope in God
By Caroline T. Wallace
When everything seems hopeless,
Don’t focus on the whole mess.
Just count on every blessing.
Then slowly you’ll start progressing.
Never give up on your goals.
Let God take over the controls.
He will gently hold you by the hand.
Alone you will NOT stand.
Only in God do we have hope,
And only in him can we cope,
So my friend, do not despair,
You should know you have his care.
7. God’s World
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
Thy mists, that roll and rise!
Poems about God and Nature
This category of poems celebrates the beauty and power of God and Nature. Each poem offers a unique perspective on the wonders of the natural world, as seen through the eyes of faith.
1. One Life-One Law
by Robert Gresak
There is but one cosmic spirit
ensouling all life everywhere,
every life form, in its way
this encompassing life declares.
The scurrying ant to the beast in its lair,
ocean, shore and sky do share
its bounteous overflowing self,
the magnanimity of heavenly wealth.
But man, in his greed mocks natural law
revelling in destruction and war.
In time, his harmful acts rebound,
with love for harmless nature found,
he gains access to holy ground
and finds his higher spirit self.
2. Sanctuary
by Chris Roe
Shafts of light
through cathedral windows.
Dappled shade
upon the leaves
beneath my feet.
Bird song
in the branches above.
In the distance
Hind and fawn
Cross the forest track.
The sweet fragrance of autumn
fills the misty air.
A gentle breeze
Moving colors
to the forest floor.
So precious
Such beauty,
So hard to find
Such peaceful sanctuary.
3. Eternal Journey
by Chris Roe
As the crimson flame of life
Breaks slowly
Above the horizon,
The white, frosted meadows,
With trees and hedgerows
Of sculptured ice,
Speak loudly
Of your presence.
Once more
Upon this journey,
As another day begins,
Without effort
Or intrusion,
Through the peace
And tranquillity
Of your silent voice,
The moment becomes eternal,
And the journey
Begins again.
4. The Wonder of God
By Anonymous
I look around in wonder
As I do my morning run
I pass through fields and meadows
In the early morning sun.
I hear the song of nature
The chirping of the birds
The wind whistling softly
Such music, much nicer than words.
Sometimes I stop and look around me
How beautiful life can be
The smell of earth and wild flowers
Fills me with joy and energy.
And as I turn the corner
I see the blue Mediterranean Sea
I realise how God made everything perfect
Just for you and for me.
So I praise the good Lord
For all he made for me
I promise him that I take care
Of all this beauty around me.
5. Out in the Fields With God
by Mc Simmons
The little cares that fretted me,
I lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds that play,
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.
The fears of what may come to pass,
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new mown hay,
Among the rustling of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born,
Out in the fields with God.

1. Sundays River
by Kim Rodrigues
Come down to river
‘tis cold you’ll quiver
Amend
and find the Giver
He will deliver
Transcend
Love’s a caregiver
Come down to river
Descend
No need to contend
when angels defend
God praise
No need to pretend
A life with no end
sans grays
Eternity spend
With Jesus your friend
Good pays
With the heart ablaze
sing salvation’s praise
Shiver
with the Spirit’s gaze
Let go sinful days
sliver
of the past a haze
baptised in Sunday’s
river.

6. He is Able
by John Puckett
Do you know the love of Jesus
And the comfort of his care
And the sweetness of his presence
Just to know that he is there?
Troubles try and sadness sickens
Worries multiply and vex
But remember Jesus promised
He will never you forsake.
Mountains great may be still greater
Problems ever complicate
But be sure if you love Jesus
You are never left to fate.
When he died for helpless sinners
All sin’s consequences bore
He became our perfect refuge
Peace and rest for evermore.
Pain-free life he never promised
Never said you’d live at ease
But his love and care make troubles
Stepping-stones to find his peace.
Why not trust this loving Jesus
Give yourself to his true care
All your worries give him fully
All your troubles let him bear?
He is able, he is able,
He is mighty, he is true,
He is loving, kind and gentle
He has given himself for you.
