... How Precious the Death of His Saints (from Psalm 116: 15) How precious to God is the death of His saints, When the time of their lives they depart, And lay down their lives as they follow His Son to the abode which came from God's heart. The toils and trials of life put away, Like a well marked page in a book, Enfolded with care and a thanksgiving prayer, For the pathway of Christ that they took. God requires that His child, a work worn soul Leave the useless body behind, and in the last act of faith of departing this life arise with pure spirit and mind. United he will be through all eternity with goodness, peace, joy and love, with God in three persons and saints gone before who will praise and rejoice up above.

... Jesus On The Cross It was early in the springtime when flowers begin to bud, that Jesus was nailed to the cross and there He shed His blood. Jesus could have called the angels to keep him safe and well, but He chose the cross and death and defeated Death and Hell.

Then He spent three days in the tomb where evil likes to romp and roam, so by Him we are saved from sin and can join Him at our heavenly home.

... , You're my heart, my joy, my refuge, You're my comfort when I fall. You bring love beyond all measure And You prove Your heart is true, There are those I hold most dear, Yet not as much as I love You. No one could replace You, You're my dearest, closest friend, And our love will only strengthen For our love will never end. You were with me at my birth And You'll be with me at my death, You've become my dreams and thoughts now, You've become my very breath. No one else can fathom Just how deep Your feelings go, You have loved me in my mother's womb And farther back, I know. You have filled my cup with blessings Till I've more than had my fill, You have loved me from Eternity. Always have~and always will. -Connie" For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities ...
... They Walked With God Enoch, the seventh from Adam; A descendant of his third son Seth; The first-born son of Jared Never tasted decay and death. He was blameless, humble and upright And pleased God in all his ways; He walked with God and he talked with God Nigh a hundred thousand days. When he reached the age of sixty-five He begat Methuselah; The oldest man who ever did live And granddaddy to Noah. Enoch stayed close to his Maker Then by faith He was taken away; He walked with God then he was no more-Never tasting death and decay. Noah followed in his footsteps; He obeyed God night and day, Pleasing the Lord with his blameless life And teaching his sons to pray. Throughout the years and the ages Mighty men listened to You As You shared Your thoughts and Your secrets With those who were upright and true. Father, it is our desire To walk with You as they ...

At six months old the boy took sick, a fever raged for days, The only hope the doctor said is" if your family prays" Early the fourth morning as the family gathered round, The baby never woke that day; he never made a sound. With the words of the old doctor ringing in his head, The father knew if this should happen then his son was dead. As the tears began to flow with all the family grieving, The father finally spoke and said we ll bury him this evening. We ll keep him here with us all day so we can see his face, And I ll go dig a grave for him up in the family place.

Death is not the journey s end ," He said," it s just a door" In his words he made me realize, Love does not end. For a moment love is parted, And with that we must contend.

Tell Other's I'm Coming I came to this earth, To die for your sins I suffered a lot, So you would win Some would not listen, And turn from their ways So onward they went, Looking for better days They really don't love me, And some never will If only they knew me, That I love them still I wanted to show them, Just how much I care And take them to heaven, To live with me there My heart was so broken, While there on the cross Seeing them mock me, While paying the cost I was willing to suffer, And give of my life For whosoever would come, Could come without price I love all of my children, And what they have done I'm preparing a place, For them when they come Tell others I'm coming, The time is not long, Till all are in heaven Singing the hallelujah song.-Mary Eldridge-[ by: Mary Eldridge 2002 ...
... Along the golden streets A stranger walks tonight With wonder in his heart-Faith blossomed into sight. He walks and stops and stares, And walks and stares again. Vistas of loveliness Beyond the dreams of men. He who once was weak, And often shackled to a bed, Now climbs eternal hills With light and easy tread. He has escaped at last The cruel clutch of pain; His lips shall never taste Her bitter cup again. O never call him dead, This buoyant one and free, Whose daily portion is Delight and ecstasy! Now bows in speechless joy Before the feet of Him Whom, seeing not, he loved While yet his sight was dim. Along the golden streets No stranger walks today, But one who, long homesick, Is home at last, to stay!

Said he," I'll not feed corn or wheat, I can't afford to buy it; But sawdust should be good to eat, I'll get a hen and try it" So he mixed sawdust with some oats, And bought a female chicken, And the waxed fat, like thrifty shoats, And they did not die, nor sicken. So day by day this thrifty guy, Who should have had his jaw bust, Cut down the oats, till bye and bye He fed her naught but sawdust. And she laid eggs, and all went well, Until one day he set her, And in three weeks she hatched out, well. Her hatch could have been better.

How is it then that years go by With not one thought of dying; No plans are made for eternity As if God s Word were lying What will they do at the Judgement seat With no one to plead their case No one to present a victors crown For the way they ran the race. Nothing there can justify Their life all gone to waste No hope of mercy shown by God As He turns away His face.

It is far too much to bear to see others miss the Way; to know they don't believe or fear, that they've gone totally astray. If only they could see God's Truth; if only they would listen. If only they would turn around so that Christ could save them. Holy Spirit, help them see, open their hearts and ears.

... Your Terrible Freedom A bold experiment began When God created earth and man; Giving man the power of choice To spurn His Word or head His voice. That day the angels held their breath As man chose sin and self and death. God could have saved this world its woe By building robots that would go In just the paths that He d designed, Obeying, but obeying blind. He could have saved His Son the shame By forcing man His will to claim. But God s bold test was for a cause-To prove, though man may break His laws And nail His Savior to a cross, That God will triumph over loss And bring Himself eternal fame By cleansing man from sin and shame. For only ransomed souls can sing; No praises flow from robot-things. And heaven s angels now rejoice To think that God gave man a choice! [by Betty Jo Mathis-from 'The Encourager '] Inspirational ...

I often take a detour Down some winding, dusty road Where trouble seems to find me, Thereby adding to my load. Along the path I tremble And cry out to You in fear. Instantly You rescue me And dry up every tear. I am forever grateful That You don't turn me away. I vow that I will follow You Until my dying day. And even as I say it, A knock upon my door Beckons sweet temptation And my greediness for more. I can only fight it With the faith I've found in You.

... Studies in Wisdom Wisdom is the voice of the Lord whispering In our ear, Telling us the truths about ourselves that We'd rather never hear. Wisdom is the eye that sees the shadow Of death behind Our multitude of grandiose schemes and Plans made by the blind. Wisdom is the hesitation we sometimes feel right Before we talk, And the instinct that tells us it's often better Simply to get up and walk. Wisdom is the light within that illuminates Our road ahead, And shows us the twists and turns of fate, And signs that we misread. Wisdom is the common sense that crisis can Bring on into play, Convincing us in no uncertain terms to live Only for this day. [by: Joseph L.

Not unlike us, He faced rejection and strife. He was gentle and kind and was a humble soul. His earthly life fulfilled all prophecies foretold. He cured the sick and gave sight to the blind. He cast out demons from tormented minds. He cleansed the lepers and raised the dead. With just five loaves, many thousands He fed. By His life, He taught us how we should be living. We should be loving, kind, patient and forgiving. Jesus mission on earth was to save the sinners. By our faith and belief, we all become winners.

For knowledge removes our veil of ignorance, Exposing within the liar or thief. A wise mind is a fountain of life; To teach others it's knowledge before death. Wisdom is too hard for fools to retain, Who curse their fellows with spiteful breath. Fill yourself with love and understanding, For wisdom makes the human face shine. Knowledge is stronger than weapons of war, While on ignorance, fools continue to dine. The words of the wise are heard in quiet, More than the loud shouts of screaming fools. Wisdom and knowledge cause stability, In the lives of those who use them as tools. We should shun with wisdom what is ...

I will try to think of others first, And minister to their needs. Jesus would want me to die to self And follow His loving lead. I will not worry about my plight When others are suffering more. Instead I ll be more like Jesus, I ll reach out to the sick and poor. Jesus was always compassionate. I will strive to be more like Him.

He always was a good boy never even raised His voice, Except on some occasions when He really had no choice.

He never did an evil deed, as everybody knows, There were a few who said," He's always stepping on our toes"" This man ...

Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes, Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints, And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints, To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with him. [Richard Baxter ...

And then when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest. [Author Unknown-from Aiken Drum] Inspirational Poems ...

It symbolized Christ's Jewish roots, Foretold of how He'd die. It graced Passover's table, Spoke of sorrow suffering too. Some things cannot be changed, This, Mary knew.

... My Talk With The Lord Lord, I'd like for us to talk a little while if that's ok. I have some things that I really do need to ask and say. First of all, I want to thank you for dying in my place. When I think about this, I just want to hide my face. Lord, can you tell me why you would do this for me? I honestly can't think of any reason, help me to see. It's just so unbelievable that someone who had no sin, Would take mine upon Himself, knowing where I had been. Lord, you know that I don't deserve you, not at all. Many times I would turn my back on you, then I'd fall. How can it be that you keep taking me back over and over again? I don't know of anyone who would do this, not even one friend. Your love is the sweetest thing I'll ever ...

He reaches out and draws me near to Him, for He is ever close by my side. What a wonderful, wonderful Savior I have. I am thankful for God s love and grace. He loved me so much with an undying love, He sent His own Son to die in my place. I look forward to Jesus returning for me. My wonderful Savior, I can t wait to see. For I am His child and He promised, that where He is, I also will be. When I stand before Jesus on Judgment Day, He will judge, but also defend.

... Nothing Compares To His Sacrifice There are times in our lives we may feel, Like an outcast in this world we live in, We are ridiculed and put down by all those, Who desire to live a life full of sin. Because of their lack of understanding, They reject those who choose to receive, The gift through Jesus ' death and resurrection, To bring salvation to whoever will believe. When those feelings of self pity overwhelm you, As you struggle to remain faithful each day, Remember all the things Christ endured, For He knew there was no other way. He was tempted; He was mocked, just as we are, He was beaten; He was bruised for our sake, A crown of thorns was then placed on His brow, Before the ultimate sacrifice He would make. His hands and His feet were then pierced, As they nailed Him to that old wooden cross, He was guiltless and undeserving of ...

... bondage of hate. For too long I was selfish, reckless and cruel Refusing to regret my actions as a fool. An arrow from heaven found its way to my soul Since then till now giving love as my goal. Blessed by my children and the treasures of life Blessed by income, hard work and a wife. Led by your wisdom to combat what is wrong Blessed by your grace, worship and song. Age is upon me but I'm not afraid to die All that I stand for will be viewed by and by. I don't expect a mansion or wings to help me fly Only to serve you and yours in the sky. With one foot in heaven and one down on earth I pray to be remembered and judged by my worth.

247. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Keep Trying [Poems]
... Keep Trying Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl. One was an optimistic soul, But the other took the gloomy view." We shall drown ," he sobbed with much ado! And with a last despairing cry, He flung up his legs and said," Good-bye !" Said the other frog with merry grin," I can't get out, but I won't give in. I'll just swim around till my strength is spent, Then will I die the more content !" Bravely he swam till it would seem His struggles began to churn the cream! On top of the butter at last he stopped, And out of the bowl he happily hopped! So what is the moral? 'Tis easily found; If you can't hop out, keep swimming around!

... then thought her life was over. She suffered unspeakable loss When her Son's beloved hands Were nailed to a wooden cross... But that was just the beginning. For He died and rose again. Her sorrow then was ended, And joy replaced her pain. For, you see, her Son was Jesus, God coming to earth as Man, To save us from our sins According to His plan. We cannot save ourselves. Our sins would lead to death. God put our sins on Jesus, The perfect and the best. With this came our forgiveness If we believe in Him And ask Him into our hearts, He'll take away our sins. As He was resurrected, Eternal Life He'll bring To all who have faith and believe And to His hand will cling. To Jesus be ALL Praise and Glory!

... , I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all that we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, That this could never ...

... I both share, The first ones that just come to mind when it is sitting there. They were mostly happy times as was the life we led, The little tree and I don't dwell we always forge ahead. So now we make more Christmas memories each and every year, And as the grand-kids come around the little tree is here. Every Christmas it gets older, but then so do I. I guess that I will keep the little tree until I die. We've been together for so long and share such history, I guess there's nothing that I have that means so much to me. Then every year I think of pitching it, but then I balk, And every year I think I wish this little tree could talk. We have a lot of memories and there's many more to come, We have to look at where we're going not where we came from. Many people have a tree as this poem speaks about ...

He died on the cross a sacrifice for all. So He could save us if on Him we call. He may be there just looking for you. He wants to see if your heart is true. He may knock on your heart's door. He'll whisper to you like never before. He still is the same, even today. If He knocks, don't turn Him away! He came into my heart, many years ago. And ever since then, I've loved Him so!

As He lay in the tomb Those three days He stayed, He was God when He arose And was God while He laid! He arose on that third day, The promised Sacrifice fulfilled. The Savior of all, paid the price.

If you saw Him rise from the dead, would you then believe He's real? What did you think, those people long ago, thought as they saw the Son, in Heaven's glow? How do you think they felt at the sight, of the resurrected Lord, after He suffered His plight? How would you feel, if you were the one, who rolled back the stone, for God's only Son? And found Him not there. How could this be? His promise was true; He died, for you and me! Step back in time, on this Easter Day. How do you feel? Can you see the way? The Lord of Lords has risen!

Your sins too, He forgave! All we need do is ask Him, to forgive our sins and repent. Help me, Lord, to live a good life. This is why He was sent! His Father sent Him to be, A sweet savor of offering for all. He paid the price that day. Now on Him we can call! I thank You, Lord, and praise You, for being willing to take ...

... your fault. An accident that s fatal or a doctor s sudden call, Can make you feel as if your life has crashed into a wall. A family member or a friend is in intensive care, And nothing now is more important but that you are there. A routine checkup at your doctor because you are sore, But then the news, the test revealed, the problem is much more. Why does it take catastrophe or facing life or death? Or watching friends or loved ones as they take their final breath? To interrupt the schedule of our busy hectic lives, Why does it take an accident or when somebody dies? Each day is very special and too soon the day is past, For you or someone near to you it may just be the last. Don t ever take for granted that you have that many more, And all the ones you love also have many more in store. Today ...

One day I heard, I could be saved from sin. If Jesus spoke to my heart, Just ask Him in. Then when I asked Him in, He helped me clean up my life. Now I live for my Jesus. There's no more such awful strife. My heart is filled with joy, And I owe it all to Him. My life is now worth living. Things don't always look so grim! Though it's been many years. I never shall forget. What my Savior did for me. And I'm really not over it yet! [by Dot Wilson 2001-submitted by: Dot Wilson] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
