INSPIRATIONAL POETRY
I love reading inspirational poetry, some seem to hit what life is throwing at you head on and lifts you up.
Some just give encouragement to where you need to be and keep you. Many touches the heart and reminds us that we are not alone in our daily struggles that God our father does love us and is walking next us in everything we do.
God's Eternal Blessings
God’s eternal blessings
Flows down from above
To equip us in His mission
To spread His wondrous love
So He can always use us
And stretch us in our faith
So we may be a blessing
To others by His grace
For everything we need
God will graciously provide
Through His eternal blessings
That’s abundant in our lives

Rise Up
Though we feel discouraged
And feel we can’t go on
The pressures of life mount up
And hope is almost gone
We want so much to rise up
To that which God has called
But very little seems to happen
Then we cry out to the Lord
‘Why, O God, do I feel this way?
And why so downcast my soul?
I feel so very frustrated with life
Wondering what the future holds’
But even though we feel this way
God truly understands
Things don’t always happen our way
To suit our man-made plans
For everything comes into place
In God’s time, not our own
For he sees much more than we
And we needn’t feel alone
For in due time we shall arise
And spread our wings to soar
Above the clouds of adversity
Where we once were before
The cloak we wore of hopelessness
Is replaced with one of praise
Our hope is renewed as we rejoice
In God’s mercies and His grace

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Wait With Faith
Lord you have faithfully shown me
So many times before
And this time is no exception, Lord
And simply can't be ignored
That you know all that concerns my life
Everything your eyes do see
You always come through at just the right time
To meet my every need
For nothing escapes your watchful eye
No problem that we may cross
But so often, Lord, it seems as though
There's a delay in your response
I know it's a testing of our faith
To wait so patiently
You stretch us so our faith may grow
Though we want it instantly
But it's for our good that you respond
In your time, not in ours
For if you didn't - we'd stay as infants
Getting everything right now
For us to grow more Christ-like
We need to learn to wait
For often that's the answer to prayer
And builds us up in faith
So I thank you for the answer to come
As I hand it over in prayer
Thank you that you're still working on me
And my breakthrough's drawing near

The Crown of Thorns
Under his Crown
I stand firmly on the ground
For I was lost, but now I'm found
His Blood runs free
For those who are in need
Our sins are washed free
All because he wore the Crown Of Thorns for ME.

"Not About I"
I said I would be more Holy
I said I would praise your Name
And on every turn the devil was there
Yet God in his mercy for me took care
I said I'd try to do right
I said I'd walk in the light
The Devil tried to turn my days into nights
God gave me power through his might
I said that I would tell about Jesus
I'd let the world know of his joy
But the Devil made everything look pail
Still I heard Jesus say God never fails
So I came to a conclusion
It really is not about I
Now I've no confusion
It's about the power above the sky

KEEP ON BELIEVING
Keep on Believing,
Regardless of plans,
Lay your life,
In his nail-scarred hands.
Keep on Believing,
Though fear may a sail,
Always know that God will prevail.
Keep on Believing,
When your life's full of tears,
God is your courage,
To face all of your fears.
Keep on Believing,
Jesus died for your sins,
He who Believes,
Is he who wins.
Keep on Believing,
Accept Jesus today,
Eternal life you will have,
Cause he is the way.
Keep on Believing,
For his word is true,
He stands by his promise,
What he says he will do.
Keep on Believing,
For he's coming back here someday,
And when he arrives,
He'll take you away.
