While they prepare to crucify The bleeding Son of Man. Just last week I spoke of peace And everlasting love. Apparently to deafened ears And darkened skies above. It was just last night I prayed," Father, if the will be Thine, Take away this chalice. This bleeding cup of Mine. But yet, not as I will But as Thy will be done" And when pain shot through My heart, I knew My hour had come. A noisy crowd shatters the night, My heart begins to race. And then a traitor's lips, Plant a kiss upon My face. They scourged Me at a pillar, And whipped Me till I bled, But this was just a taste Of the agony ahead. ...

Lord, there's no request list This time when I pray, I just want to give thanks This Thanksgiving Day. First, I want to thank You For gifts from above: Your unending mercy, Your undeserved love.

... God Knows Best Our Father knows what's best for us, So why should we complain. We always want the sunshine, But He knows there must be rain. We love the sound of laughter And the merriment of cheer; But our hearts would lose their tenderness If we never shed a tear. Our Father tests us often With suffering and with sorrow; He tests us, not to punish us, But to help us meet" tomorrow" For growing trees are strengthened When they withstand the storm; And the sharp cut of the chisel Gives the marble grace and form. God never hurts us needlessly, And He never wastes our pain; For every loss He sends to us Is followed by rich gain. And when we count the blessings That God has so freely sent; We will find no cause for murmuring And no time to lament. For Our Father loves His children, And to Him all things are plain; So He ...
... My Resurrection Day Before my resurrection, I suffered so much pain, My face set like a flint, I knew what I would gain. There was Judas, who betrayed me with a kiss, He sold me out, now heaven he will miss. Peter denied he knew me, and so he cursed, It's hard to really say, what had hurt me worse. I prayed in the garden, to my Father up on high, to let the cup pass from me, If I were not to die. I prayed Father not my will, but thy will be done, I came to earth to die, so sinners would be won. It was time for me to die, hanging on a cross, I paid the price I had to pay, so that none be lost, I know there will be some, who will reject my love, Their hearts just like a stone, but I'm gentle as a ...
... When the Father Remains Silent When the Father remains silent like He does not hear your cries; When you feel that He's not listening, and the hope within you dies~When it seems He does not hear you and you feel He does not care; When you plead with Him to answer, but it seems that He's not there. When you feel He has abandoned you and left you on the shelf, When you feel that you're forsaken and there's no one but yourself. When it seems that your petitions have most surely been in vain; That's the time the Lord is closest and you feel His deepest pain. For when it seems that you're abandoned and you feel the most alone, You are sharing the same heartache that our Lord Himself has known. For Christ also felt deserted as He hung upon that tree; Till He cried in deepest anguish," Why hast Thou forsaken Me ?"" Know ye not that if ye ...
86. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- DAD. [Poems]
... DAD Your shoes are hard to fill, Your name came from God above; Who gives most precious gifts To acknowledge sacrificial love. Gentleness marks your spirit, Strength is your basic man, Warmth your heart embraces Success always your plan. You have extended love and guidance Through all my childhood years, Comforted hurts and heartaches, Dried many childish tears. You have been steadfast beside me, As I became all strong and grown; Learning to make the best decisions; I could not have made it on my own. I thank you for your faithfulness, Your patience when I was mad, For discipline when I needed it, I sure do love you, DAD!~Joyce Guy~[ by: Joyce Guy, 2005 (Joy Of Art Shop)-submitted by: Joyce Guy (jguy453 @bellsouth.net)] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...

There's wars and fighting all around, You know Lord that sin abounds. We're depending on your Grace, As You put us in our place. Guns and tanks won't win this war, Peace is what I'm praying for. I'm amazed that folks hate You, After all that You went through. I guess they just don't understand, That You died for all sins of man. If they were told and didn't believe, Then there's no way that they'll receive. Some seem to think they're here to stay, As they go on their merry way. Thinking there will be no end, When You come they'll be surprised then. All the people have their views, So they air them in the news. I can tell they don't agree, ...

I trimmed the hedge myself, hon, that's a job I know you hate, I told my mom her visit here will simply have to wait, I'll shine your shoes, take out the trash, repair the kitchen sink, and while you're getting comfy I'll pour you a frosty drink. The baseball game's about to start, I'll bring you some hors d'oeuvres, I've sent the kids to grandma's so they won't get on your nerves, there's hot wings in the oven and your pals are on their way, I hope this meets your fantasy, dear~Happy Father's Day!~Connie~" Who can find a virtuous woman ...

... , 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 this punishment, But for us He was willing to suffer loss. As He hung there in such terrible agony, With His blood now beginning to shed, No greater love could have ever been expressed, Than through the words that Jesus then said. He could have called for the Heavenly Father, To render just punishment for all He'd been through, But instead He uttered," Father forgive them, For they know not what it is that they do" May we follow the example of our Savior, Not focusing on our persecution and strife, Lord, teach us to love our enemies as you do, While we live out the remainder of this life.-Linda Lee Wolovich-[ by: Linda Lee Wolovich Copyright 2004 (llwolo @yahoo.com)- ...

Worthy, capable, or spiritual enough; to have picked our favorite over another; To have excluded one who didn't measure up; To sit by one more attractive, popular, or fun. To have been in such a hurry to greet one That we bypassed another; To have closed our heart to someone Whose words we didn't want to hear. To think we've done God a favor By getting rid of someone we thought Difficult, different, or wrong?

... fix, just change the way I talk. And learn more of how He wanted me to walk. Reading His Word, and learning again; How to put aside my life of sin. But the next layer was pulled which hurt more. He was getting closer to the core. Unknown what He would find there. I simply gave it to Him in prayer. As another layer was removed, He started to cry; Pulling this layer brought pain to my Father on High. And I was crying over the sadness I felt; The brokenness and all of the guilt. Past memories that I thought were gone; They were buried under layers disguised in a fragrance so strong. As onions peel more and more; And they put tears in our eyes as we get close to the core; So my father wept over my pain; Giving me a balm of comfort and strength to sustain."

As I strolled through Heaven's Gates, I was greeted by a Heavenly Host. They said," Follow us, oh little one, And we will show you who loves you most" Then they said," Look through Heaven's portals" I gazed through the portal, looking down, There stood you, Mommy and Daddy, With a bright light all around. Now I know you are not alone, I saw Jesus by your side, He will help you with all your sorrow, And with you He always will abide.

... The Empty Tomb One day two thousand years ago, God proved His love for man. Because the tomb was empty, He accomplished His salvation plan. God sacrificed His only Son, For mankind as a whole. To re-establish fellowship, With the creation He gave a soul. Jesus became our sins that day, And God poured out His wrath. He loved the fallen world so much, He had to provide a path. A path which leads to the Father, And that path became His Son. The cross became the symbol, By which mankind could be won. Jesus suffered much and tasted death, That Friday long ago. But as He breathed His last, He said," Forgive them, they don ’ t know" The third day, the tomb was empty. Jesus ’ body was not to be found. The grave did not gain victory, For our Savior could not be bound! Praise God, the ...

For there before my weary stare, Was a field of yellow tulips in full bloom, Stretched as far as I could see, And their burst fo color chased away my gloom! I stared in sheer amazement, I'd never seen so much gold, All those lovely, yellow tulips, Delightful and bold! And I knew from deep within, My dear Father was telling me, Worrying makes you sad and sick, I hope these tulips will set you free.

And when I finally left this quiet place, With it's handsome yellow rug, I lifted my face toward heaven, And sent my Father a big hug.~Eva May Young~It gives me a warm feeling ...

Or watch the brown beaver toil, From dawn to the end of the day. building indescribable dams, That slows a farmers way? Or out in the dusty desert, Hear a coyote wail at night. Or hear the mighty roll of thunder, As lightning flashes into sight? And then there comes a rainbow, pleasing to a human eye. As it's muted colors, stretch across a cloud-darkened sky! Can man make a blazing sunrise, or make a silver river flow. Or hang a pale moon in the sky, or trigger the wind to blow? Only our faithful Holy Father, with his all-knowing power. Can make such ...

... A Poem for Moms and Dads Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray my sanity to keep. For if some peace I do not find, I'm pretty sure I'll lose my mind. I pray I find a little quiet Far from the daily family riot May I lie back -not have to think about what they're stuffing down the sink, or who they're with, or where they're at and what they're doing to the cat. I pray for time all to myself (did something just fall off a shelf ?) To cuddle in my nice, soft bed (Oh no, another goldfish -dead !) Some silent moments for goodness sake (Did I just hear a window break ?) And that I need not cook or clean-( well well, I've got the right to dream) Yes now I lay me down to sleep, I pray my wits about me keep, But as I look around I know-I must have ...

To our Heavenly Father, Watching from above. A prancing deer, seems in a rush; He runs through nearby trees. A busy little squirrel" chucks ", And rustles, through green leaves. I'm walking through my garden; At peace, I'm so content. The breath, of it's refreshment; I know is heaven sent. The sun is shining brightly; It's resting on my face. It feels as though, I'm warmly hugged; In loving arms, embrace. Walking amongst God's flowers; Each a special, painted art. I'm singing in the daisies; The song," How Great Thou Art". I lay, so happy, like a child; Upon a patch of grass. ...

Little buds upon the trees are poking out their heads, Tiny stalks are popping up out in the flowerbeds. Treetops that were barren when the winter winds would blow, Now are filled with baby squirrels just running to and fro. The morning paper that was filled with winter sort of ads, Now is filled with grills and lawnmowers calling out to dads. Garden center parking lots for months were cold and dark, Now you must shop early if you want a place to park.

For it isn't your father or mother or wife Who judgment upon you must pass; The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may think you a straight-shootin ' chum, And call you a wonderful guy, But the man in the glass says you're only a bum If you can't look him straight in the eye. He's the fellow to please-never mind all the rest-For he's with you clear up to the end; And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years, And get pats on the back as you pass, ...

Our transformation has already begun, and together we'll sing a joyous hymn! As we bask in His Son-shine, with our hearts and minds at peace.

... Sweet Memories Sometimes we feel so all alone, Everyone is so busy these days, Growing older slows us down, And we have to change our ways. But when we think about other times, Our memories bring on a smile, We wonder where all the time went, As we trudged that weary mile. And then we remember Grandma, With gray hair and old fashioned dress, As she danced with my daddy, At the Old Time Summer Fest. And when I hear the sweet laughter, When we played our childish games, And Mama cooking our supper, That gave her instant fame. Oh, that good old summer time, When we picked wild berries for Jam, And Papa built the fire, That smoked the bacon and the ham. As these old memories flood back, I become quite misty eye'd. Those good old days are gone forever, Occasionally I have cried. We all knew about God and His Son ...

I saw the bright red daddy cardinal while out in my yard, He was not so trusting and he always was on guard. I saw him bring her food to eat and then he flew away, I was amazed, this bit of nature, I could watch each day. Then one day it happened as I started peeking out, Little heads with beaks wide open bobbing all about. Three of them and chirping loudly reaching to the skies And both the parents flying back and forth to feed the ...

And when he asked the father why has thou forsaken me. They watched the saviour die of his own choice. I've never seen ten thousand angels cry But I'm sure they did As they stood by And watched the savior die.

... What's Christmas About? It's not about when Santa comes. It's not about candies and sugarplums. It's about the belief in the birth of a heavenly babe. Which will bring us eternal life, once we are saved. It's not about getting the latest trend, toy or game. It's about knowing the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, are the same. It's not about the biggest tree or the brightest lights. It's about faith in His word that will keep us on a path that's right. It's not about the amount of money we've spent. It's about the heavy load, on us, that causes His back to be bent. It's about the ultimate sacrifice, in the name of love. A man, once sent to us, as a messenger from above. A man, once sent to us, to save us from our sins. Always offering a way to live and to begin again. Maybe, Happy Birthday ...

We try numerous things to keep our sanity and pride. We try buying trinkets ’ that bring us joy for awhile. But it never last for long and neither do the smiles. Then we try a drink or two, only deadening us for a time. So we try many other things that used to fit us fine. But nothing seems to help when our well inside goes dry. We are filled with emptiness with a heart that only cries. I don ’ t know what you do then, but I go down on my knees. And ask God to refill my well and ask for his reprieves.

... He Won't Remember Some people joke about God and His Son, they laugh and mock and wag their tongue. They think it's cool to make fun this way, not knowing there'll be a judgement day. Yes time will tell who belongs to Him, God needs some workers whose light is not dim, to let the mockers know that He loves them still, He'd save their soul and give them a thrill. Father God is not out to hurt any one, like a thief and a murderer who shoots to kill with his gun, What he wants to do is love you so much, that you can't live without His touch. Once they have tasted and see He's so good, He'll change their lives, they'll live like they should, Their hearts and minds will be different then, they'll turn their backs away from sin. The God they once mocked, and joked about, becomes their best friend without a doubt, now ...

We must not let anger or bitterness take root, Jesus did not let these things enter into Him; We will be known to others by our fruit, Take a moment to forgive and begin again.

... Pilots ' planes shot down? How many foxholes were soldiers ' graves? No, Freedom is not free. I heard the sound of taps one night, When everything was still. I listened to the bugler play And felt a sudden chill. I wondered just how many times That taps had meant" Amen" When a flag had draped a coffin of a brother or a friend. I thought of all the children, Of the mothers and the wives, Of fathers, sons and husbands With interrupted lives. I thought about a graveyard at the bottom of the sea Of unmarked graves in Arlington. No, Freedom isn't free!

... forth to deliver, to pardon, set free. He spoke of new life; and showed others the way to be granted forgiveness; receive salvation that day. But many were deaf to the truth of God's Word. They had ears to listen yet their hearts never heard. His ministry on earth brought Him not man's esteem, for many would reject that their souls He'd redeem. Still He gave up His life; bore man's guilt; suffered shame. Obeying His Father, The Sacrificial Lamb He became. His life's blood poured out for the remission of sin; yet He conquered even death when He arose once again. Now salvation is promised to all who'll believe; eternal life offered if the Son they'll receive. The gift of God's Son sent from Heaven above; from the cradle to the cross: the story of God's love.

The power that they had was real; God's Spirit worked through them-They were on fire; filled with zeal God's own anointed supermen. There is One much mightier still Than all those men of old; He came to do the Father's will And free us from sin s hold. There's nothing which He cannot do; The world is safe in Him-He can fix and make things new: He's Jesus Christ our King.

... Never Forget This poem is based on the actual words of our Founding Fathers in July of 1776. Early to bed, and early to rise, Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. But, Ben resolved, On this historic day, Our efforts were worth my lost sleep, I must say. Night had long fallen; it was '76; There were tears and joy and prayer in a mix. No tongue could describe, no word could convey, The feelings those men had just felt on that day. They declared independence and now they were free; But there was a cost paid for liberty. John Adams, the chairman, stood up and he said, Men, this moment has doubled the worth of my head! Those fifty-six signers, those fifty-six men, For them life would never be normal again. They were lawyers and merchants; some owned plantations; They risked their own lives to begin a new ...

Weekends with you, watching you bake Breakfast at sunrise, later some cake. Knitting, crocheting, on your couch we sat, Laughing and giggling and making small chat. You're a treasure of gold sent to me from above And your gift to me is the father I love. Your strength and your faith in times of distress Are like rose petals bound in a book, neatly pressed. Grandma, I love you and on that Great Day I'll see you again and have much to say. I'll hug you, I'll kiss you, I'll take you by the hand. We'll both stand with Jesus upon His Right Hand.

Yellow buttercups and white daisies, And Queen Anne's delicate white lace, Graceful, golden, butterflies hovering, As I searched Mother Nature's dear face. Weeping willows gently drooping Along a rushing, narrow stream, In all it's awesome beauty Twas like a resplendent dream. I lingered there much longer, I could scarcely take it all in: I thank you, Holy Father, It's like a fine-tuned violin. Sweet bird songs drift across the meadow, Mild breezed ripple through the trees, Life can be so appealing, It puts tumultuous hearts at ease. We've all heard about the garden, Where Adam and Eve reposed: Could it have been lovelier than this, Where God's love continues to be exposed? These are valuable gifts of nature Created by our Soveriegn Lord: I bow down in thanksgiving, With the angels, in one accord! ...

And when this life is over and they are called home, a glorious reunion awaits at God's throne. Where the Father will dance and heaven resound as the faithful servant is presented his crown. And left here to mourn are people like me; though sad, I am grateful He allowed me to see that what really matters, the things to hold dear are memories made and the love that we share. Beautiful lessons are learned in His name for the Spirit steps in to kindle the flame. Love is never lost; friends are never apart. Forever they're with you, carried deep in ...

... , was my welfare everyday. I never gave much thought, until much older though, of just how great a love, God had given you to show. It never seemed to matter if I was good or bad. You always had great love for me, even if I made you mad. The love of a mother for a child has to be from God above. The only real glimpse of Heaven is her unconditional love. For this is how our Father is in Heaven. Don't you see? It doesn't matter what a worm I am, He still shows great love for me. I find Him always there, whether resting or at play. I know His first concern, is my welfare everyday. His unconditional love, whether I am good or bad, reminds me of the love, from Mother's touch I had.

... whole. Intense pressure pushed it upward, through the mire and mud, to be touched by Jesus life and changed by His transforming blood. No longer black, but clear, A diamond in the rough The Holy Spirit took it, Still opaque and tough; Marks He made upon it, According to God ’ s plan, As gently He engulfed it In His skillful hand. How best to cut and size it To catch and hold the light reflecting God the Father E ’ en through the darkest night. He knew how to set each facet So it would sparkle most And reflect the Savior ’ s image toward worldly, wicked hosts; To flash the light of heaven To send a message clear, That time is of the essence And hell is drawing near. The cutting of the diamond Causes much grief and pain But the emerging stone lay silent Awaiting God ’ s cut again. The troubles of the world Are a worthy blade To ...

288. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Memory Mall. [Poems]
... Even in the food court golden arches still shine bright, Christmas shopping with my children found us there that night. As I walked beside a store I was amazed to see, Changing colors spinning round ' a silver Christmas tree. I just laughed as I remembered we had one of them, Everybody had one once and color wheels would spin. Then inside the toy store games for every video, And a line to buy them all because they want them so. Fathers standing there in line with their little boys, I wonder as I watch them, do they still make tinker toys? Then I saw old Santa Claus sitting in his chair, There must have been a hundred people standing in line there. Some were happy, some kids had a smile from ear to ear, But sadly I saw parents angry because they were here." Stop and smell the flowers" I thought, these times will not last, I would love ...

... for those below; With nails in hands and feet. With awesome beauty, Oh such love; Our joyful Jesus shines. Lost sinners saved, for them He gave; His life for all man kind. Give some joy to Jesus, friend; Let all of heaven ring. Lead a sinner to the Savior; Hear the heavens sing. I'd like to think, that everyday; There's a party in the sky. When we've won another one; To our Father upon high. Oh, wow, I hear them singing now; Great shouts of victory. Glory! Hallelujah! Praise!

291. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Love's Gift. [Poems]
... I wandered through the world's garbage A wicked vagabond, Stuffing my soul with refuse, With which the world abounds. But then I heard that Jesus Had died to set me free, That I could be cleansed and walk with Him And from the vileness flee. My heart leaped within me At such a blessed thought, But what the Lord had offered Could be neither sold nor bought. That He had paid my debt And gave me title free To approach the Heavenly Father Whose bosom welcomed me. I cried unto the Savior, I'll gladly follow Thee, And thank you for your mercy, Your great love, and liberty. Your life is now my own, I gladly take your yoke, And ask you to purify me, I submit to every stroke. My heart is so much lighter, My sin is rolled away, I no longer dread the facing Of my God on judgement day. [by: Joyce Guy (Joy Of ...
... Yes" and smiled, Knowing that God had provided this small place to birth the Child. As the donkey watched in reverence, there, within the sparrow's sight; As a light shone 'round about them, the Christ Child was born that night. All the animals were struck with awe as scores of angels came, Giving praise to God on highest, giving glory to His Name. And that tiny stable came alive with joy and peace and love, As the Father poured His blessings out from Heaven up above. Yet today that same old question is repeated year-by-year," Where's the promise of His coming ?" unsaved men ask with a sneer. Taunting those of us who love Him, doubting sounds are often heard; As rejecting God, they question, scorning Jesus and His Word. But our Lord is surely coming, though blasphemers curse His Name; Though the scoffers ridicule us, He is coming, just the same! As the ...

... seem determined to maintain. It isn't until we let our loved ones go, That we can help others and their feelings know. Otherwise, we are wrapped up in our own feelings, our grief, And are incapable of giving others suffering, relief. If we trust God and know no mistakes He makes, We should thank Him when one of our loved ones He takes. For never again will mental or physical pain they have to endure. Because their Heavenly Father loves them so, with Him they are secure. Though we've always known we'd each have to leave this earth one day, We pretend that time is far, far away. So to wish them back on earth even if we could, Would hurt them rather than do them good. Let go, let God be in charge of our dear one's life. Let go, let God remove all strife. So God can use us to help see others through, That ...
295. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Let Me... [Poems]
... I ever hope to heal The wounds of others I do not feel. If my eyes are dry and I never weep, If my heart is cold and it never bleeds, How can I tell what my brother needs, For when ears are deaf to the beggar's pleas, And we close our eyes and refuse to see, And we steel our hearts and harden our mind, And we count it a weakness whenever we're kind, We are no longer following the Father's way, Or seeking His guidance from day to day. For without crosses to carry and burdens to bear, We dance through a life that is frothy and fair, And" chasing the rainbow" we have no desire For roads that are rough and realms that are higher. So spare me no heartache or sorrow, dear Lord, For the heart that is hurt reaps the richest reward, And God enters the heart that is broken in sorrow As He opens the door ...
