Scripture inspired poem.

Depression

Depression affects the great and the small
It sets in when your back is against a wall
Some call it melancholy by another name
Whatever its' title the feeling is the same

Elijah was depressed and hid in a cave
Jezebel wanted him lying cold in a grave
Then the Lord spoke in a still small voice
Depression fled and caused Elijah to rejoice

John the Baptist languished in an old jail
No one cared enough to make his bail
He was depressed about his impending fate
He was to be beheaded on a certain date

Then a word from Jesus came as good news
He told him he was Christ the King of the Jews
That the blind receive their sight and the lame walk
That the dead are raised, the deaf hear, the dumb talk

Only Jesus Christ can do such mighty deeds
He feeds the sparrows and tends to their needs
So when depression comes and you're feeling blue
Remember that Jesus loves and cares about you

Search For God​

I sought His love in lore of books,
In charts of science's skill;
They left me orphaned as before,
His love eluded still;
Then in despair I breathed a prayer;
The Lord of Love was standing there!​

I sought His love in sun and stars,
And where the wild seas roll,
And found it not. As mute I stood,
Fear overwhelmed my soul;
But when I gave to one in need,
I found the Lord of Love indeed.​

~Thomas Curtis Clark~​

Quietness

"Be still and know that I am God,"
That I who made and gave thee life
Will lead thy faltering steps aright;
That I who see each sparrow's fall
Will hear and heed thy earnest call.
I am God.

"Be still and know that I am God,"
When aching burdens crush thy heart,
Then know I form thee for thy part
And purpose in the plan I hold.
Trust in God.

"Be still and know that I am God,"
Who made the atom's tiny span
And set it moving to My plan,
That I who guide the stars above
Will guide and keep thee in My love.
Be thou still.

Very nice poem. Good job. Very inspiring.

Trust​

Revive us, Lord! Is zeal abating
While harvest fields are vast and white?
Revive us, Lord! The world is waiting;
Equip Thy Church to send the Light.​

When naught whereon to lean remaineth,
When strongholds crumble to the dust,
When nothing's sure but that God reigneth,
That, yes, that is the time to trust.
~Unknown~​

Trust & obey for there
Is no other way!

[SIZE=+1]Strong for the Battle[/SIZE]
​

I've fought many a battle while serving my Lord
Faith has been my shield and the Word my sword
Satan has come against me in so many ways
Often the battle has lasted for days and days

Fear not I am with thee said the Lord to me
Be strong in the battle and I will bring victory
Though I grow weary these words ring in my ears
Gives me encouragement and wipes away my fears

Right before deliverance and breakthrough
Satan will do his best to destroy me and you
By sending his wicked fiery darts
To pierce and destroy many hearts

But prayer to the Lord will avail
And give deliverance from evil Satan's hell
The Lord is strong in the midst of turmoil
The wiles of the devil he will foil

I will hold on to Jesus with all my might
He will keep me safe through the fight
Satan thinks he has a grip on my soul
But Jesus sends victory and makes me whole

The Lord gives me strength for the battle
When my faith in Him Satan tries to rattle
The mighty spiritual war is hard to comprehend
When Jesus says enough, the battle will end

[walkin2e]

Write me a message O Lord I do pray
Send it special delivery this very day
May it be one of encouragement and hope
Send me reassurance that will help me cope

With the problems and trials of this earthly life
I live in a world filled with confusion and strife
Remember O Lord when you walked among men
Things are much worse now than they were then

Thank you Lord for sending me this precious word
"I am able" is the powerful message I clearly heard
"I was able to deliver three from the furnace fire
I was able to deliver David out of that clayey mire

Always remember you are my child and I am able
To place a banquet feast on your empty table
Only trust me for nothing is impossible for me to do
What I have done for others I am able to do for you"

Oh, why not? A Jesus jingle
inspired by my friend
Wanttobe, bless her heart.

Pucker I shall
Through tiresome day,
And whistle a tune
along the Lord's way.


For the Lord is near
As I whistle a hymn;
His angels dance,
And He joins in.


So I whistle; He dances,
And with a grin,
I face darkness with light
Remaining in Him.


His peace is with me
In tiresome day.
May we continue to whistle
along His way.

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

I don't know who wrote this but I have it written out on the back of my bible. It's my favorite poem


Stir us. o Lord, with Thy great Power
until Thy desires within us flow
making us witnesses daily for Thee
in us Thy yearnings show

stir us, o Lord, that we might bear
upon our hearts, the lost soul
wooing and winning, Thy Spirit within
make our love pure and whole

stir us, o Lord, and by us the world
wandering, sad and forlorn
that when they have seen yourself in me
shall they, in Thee, be born

stir us, o Lord, this our hearts prayer
e'er the night is spent away
may we be lights to guide them home
to radiant eternal day

AMEN

Thou Thinketh Of Me​

Let shadows come and let them go.
Let life be bright or dark with woe.
I am content, for this I know,
Thou thinketh, Lord, of me.​

Thou walketh with me along life's path.
Thou keepeth me with Thy rod and staff.
Thou never leaveth in calm or storm.
Thou loveth, Lord, all of me.​

Nailed to the cross on Calvary
Thou thought, Lord, of me.
All of my days, Lord, I wilt proclaim,
Jesus, Son of God, Holy Thy name.​

And Lord . . I thinketh not of me but of Thee.

Beautiful poem, sister. Thanks for sharing it with us.

 

[inHisgripkim]

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was filled with sorrow at the tragic death of his wife in a fire in 1861. The Civil War broke out the same year, and it seemed this was an additional punishment. Two years later, Longfellow was again saddened to learn that his own son had been seriously wounded in the Army of the Potomac.
Sitting down to his desk, one Christmas Day, he heard the church bells ringing. It was in this setting that Longfellow wrote these lines:

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep.
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep!
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men!"​

Again great poems as usual
God bless you
Take care!

Be still...

Be still; listen
My voice whispers
Gently softly speaking
Leading

Be still; listen
Clambering cease
Broken hearts restored
Life established

Be still; listen
The beloved is calling
His voice woos
Intimacy His desire

Be still; listen
Secrets to disclose
Heart to heart
True fellowship

Be still; listen
Receive and know
The depths of Him
The true and living God

Be still; listen
Behold He speaks
The bridegroom
Our lover and friend
