Most Commented Religion / Spirituality Poems (1,340)

Hear the Angels weeping
For the lost innocent souls
Killed in a wave of violence

Hear the Angels weeping
For the lost souls who
Believe in a Pro-violence Alliance

Hear the Angels weeping
For the lost souls who are unable
To stop the violence with compliance

Hear the Angels weeping
For the innocence lost to all
The children of the world

Hear the Angels weeping
For those who gave their lives
To protect the boys and girls

Hear the Angels weeping
For those who have turned their backs
To the light preferring the dark underworld

Hear the Angels weeping
As they pray for the lost souls
To turn from darkness to light unfurled

The sun slowly drifted away and shadows crept in
The air slightly cooler as the darkness deepened
Creatures scurrying to their dens while still light
Others waking up to welcome the dark night

Edge of the world trimmed in pink, purple, orange, gold and red
Like apologizing for the colorless black night ahead
The moon and planets debuting in the sky
With constellations and stars of summertime

Scary ragged black shapes silhouetted against the sky
Reaching upward with crooked branches way up high
Black bats flitting around catching tiny buzzing wings
While a large ground chorus is warming up to sing

A mist on the pond like a low cloud from the sky
Adding a mystic air to the night-time cries
Floating like a ghostly mass across the earth
Providing cover for many night-time critters to lurk

Soon several mixed voices fill the night-time air
Soothing the soul like a bedtime prayer
Open windows inviting the night sounds in
Drifting to sleep by the Lullaby on the wind

What and where is true love
It comes from God above
No one can exist or live apart
From Him as He is in our heart

Whether we want to admit it or not
Even though we think we have forgot
He never leaves our heart alone
He never leaves as He is our home

If we find someone to share our love
He is right there with you as God Is Love
A union without God and love cannot survive
For without Him love will wither and die

True love is a beautiful thing
Two become one through the exchange of a ring
The symbol of eternal love of two
Joined and with God all their life through

I can hear the trumpet sound
The earth is shaking
As mountains come crashing to the ground
Graves are opening
As the King comes to claim His own
Angels by the thousands
Come to escort us home
Looking all around,
Bodies translating
Mortality to immortality
Families reunited in the air and on the ground
No more transgressing
No more crying
No pain, no death, no sorrow
Only love, joy and peace
We shall know....
On that glorious day
When King Jesus comes to take us far away.

Oh Lord and mighty Savior
I sing in your name praise be
In honor to you King of Israel
who takes away the sins of this world

Star of all stars Bethlehem
shining salvation loves light
purity in the scriptures fulfilled
proclaiming him blessed Holy One

A messenger singing Heavenly
an angel in praise to king of kings
In peace and good deeds God's only son
Blessed born his Immaculate heart

Conceived of the Holy Spirit Lord
Almighty Holiness in your council
one of understanding happy birthday
Our shepherd born salvation leads his flock

Faraway in the distance
three wise kings following sign
A diamond star they followed
light of truth born shone in a manger

As they entered bowing bearing gifts
Gold worshiping the Almighty king
Myrrh most precious bitter herb of the east
Frankincense to perfume our Holy One

The shepherds came as an angel sang out
Heavenly song in gentle melody
singing born today is our savior child
praise eternities revelations tune

O most Gracious Lord Jesus
I bow humble inside meek
happy birthday oh master
our savior Almighty King

Twenty three years ago
Inside a dark lit room I sat
On my knees I was, humbled
For I was lost, got nowhere to go
Left alone, someone else's child in tow

Called a fool by friends who knew
I wanted to keep you
I was lost and alone
So far away I was from home
And your father never knew

Nine months I then carried you
Days before you were born
Fifteen hours on the bus
Your half brother in tow
Bus stopped, home at last!

Mom, Dad against all hope continued
Hoping and hanging on to faith
Every dawning of each day believing
One daybreak soon the bus would stop
And their daughter will be back

Before I could step out of the bus
I looked towards the house and saw
Mother was running; dad not far behind
Arms wide open reaching out to hold
The daughter they often dreamed about

Into their arms I sanked and cried
They held me up, we headed home
I've always known their hearts is where I belong
Faith like theirs, kept me strong
All those dark nights I was alone!

I was taught to always reach out
To my Father God when unsure, burnt out
Their faith in Him so strong
It kept them praying so long
For their child to just come home!

So my son when you asked your mom
"Some said I'm an unwanted child, is it true?"
My darling child all I can tell you
From the day God planted you inside
My heart became your very heart

It was never about wanting you or not
It was just about you being sent from above
A precious gift I was honoured to receive
Against the world I chose to have you in my life
For I knew God sent me you, my flesh and blood

Now you're 23, look at what we've been through?
Years Laced with fun, and joy, tears and laughter too;
Life adventures and growing pains in between
You turned out to be this beautiful guy with a beautiful heart
Remember always, you've been a blessing to my life!

With a finger I traced the cities outline
As I watched the hand of God paint a colorful sky
Lost in translation my eyes filled with rain
I circled the sunrise and drank from its grace
Rainbows rolled down then dripped from my neck
into a puddling surmise of my affection
Soon I was afloat upon this river of deceit
When thy moon kissed my forehead then again on my cheek
And I asked God this question "Why do I exist"
He replied one simple answer "My son as a gift"
And what you do with this is your gift to Me
Let love be your guide and wisdom bring you peace
He then placed my hand on the still waters I tread
And caused it to ripple with my reflection
As the sky is My canvas and different each day
The currents will rise and cause you chaos in its wake
And there will be times that you hate Me and question My will
But its those times I'll say trust me and learn to be still

Thoughts in her head
Like dark sky of lead
Charcoal gray clouds swirling above
Lumpy – lost – lacking love

Feathered streaks all around
In different colors abound
Like in the Horizon ahead
Some purple, pink and others blood red

So many emotions to sort through
Not letting the darkness rule
Looking to grasp the lighter light
And leave behind the dark night

Knowing that daylight will come
And with it the rising morning sun
His wings will cover her all night
Protecting her til morning and his Son’s light

Advent season has begun
It is more than just calendar fun
Opening each new day to see
What the surprise underneath will be

Imagine the world without the candle Hope
Without it how could we ever cope
Hope gives us a light in the dark
Even though it may be only a small spark

The World without Hope would be
Without light anywhere we could see
A place of nothing but despair and fear
With Darkness ruling over everywhere

This Hope came to us in the form of a newborn
Lighting His way into the world in human form
The human body died on the cross that past day
But the Holy Spirit and Hope are still alive today

i take the number three
a star
from birth
three wise men
on the face
the one trinity
holding in one's hand
the golden
gateway to paradise
a crucifix
the key
to heaven

three days
Jonah spent inside
a whale
our body
a temple
split three ways

like the shamrock
a symbol from
our dear St Patrick
God is
the father
our creator

crucified
upon a cross
his son Jesus
on the third day
he rose again
in the Holy grail
according to the scriptures
a blessed spirit

our hearts
the inner voice
speaking
from the soul
i believe
on our third day

the soul rises
higher
meeting one's spirit
walking in limbo
three draws out
a magic number
enlightens me
