OUR LATEST POEMS
Without Love
(inspired by 1. Cor:13) Without love, the words I speak, Though school’d in letters, will be weak: And though I say them loud and long, Without love, I’m but a noisy gong. Without love, the goods I share, Are nothing worth, though costing dear: My gift of life...
Will I Have a Good New Year?
Will I have a good new year? Is there any way to tell? Consider the following: If I can help save someone from an eternity in hell, If my faith in Jesus is on display and not merely an empty shell, If I can speak loudly about my faith, and not even have to yell, If my...
When God Sighed…
Jesus, how often you must sigh! When I pretend to try, or when I decide to lie, or when I grow old and die, or perhaps even when I at last resurrect and fly! How glad I am, though, that you and I will never, ever have to say goodbye! Sigh! Chris Hansen
What was I Thinking
I rejected Jesus. What was I thinking! I knew my life was sinking. I knew I would be a corpse, dead and stinking. Still, he and I were just not linking. Was I moved by Roman crucifixion nails, clinking? Yes, indeed! So, why was I shrinking? Well, all this talk about a...
What happened to Christmas?
What happened to the Christmas that I loved so much? We celebrated the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ It was to Him that we gave the presents on that wonderful day, Just rejoicing in Him and loving our family and friends This was what I was taught and wonder where it...
To Lose
Why are we so afraid to lose? To surrender back to Him what has always been His.Is it because we think we will not care in this certain way again? Or is it that we’re afraid there will be a day, that we don’t remember them; and it will then be clear, that it was only...
Time
Time moves on, while we wish we could hold it still. Expand it to retrieve each precious morsel. But nothing still holds its worth. Its value in the passing, and the measuring of its gift. Held in freeze frame,it would only stagnate and shrink. A still pool reflecting...
Think of Heaven
When you have a day, When all goes wrong, You feel “why me”? Instead, sing a song. Just close your eyes, Take a sigh, Jesus is near, He says, “draw nigh”. Holy Spirit, like a dove, Let yourself feel light, Think of Heaven, One day it will be right. No more sorrow or...
There at Calary
It was there on Calvary that Jesus died for me. He surely hung upon an old cross, there on a tree. He did nothing to deserve this awful feat, However, He wanted to give us a place at Jesus’ feet. I know I will see and be with Him one day there, Then I can go to Him in...
The Way
Jesus, our way to the Father, a path alight with his love. Paved with unconditional acceptance, inlaid with promises from above. Come walk the way to the Father. The journey, though it’s not far at all, asks from us trust and vulnerability. It needs us to open a door....
