Most Commented Religion / Spirituality Poems (1,340)

In this house
a cathedral
to the angels
I see light
on elevated stone
high above
the baptismal font
that has washed
generations clean
in the great hall
as I follow closely
the custom
of the liturgy
the thurible swinging
swinging to deliver
frankinscence to heaven
so may they rest
so may they rest

I stand by your side and think how it begun
Look up to the sky and see moon chasing the sun
Watching the clouds hide behind evening haze
To the song of the lark that is singing your praise.


We were both childhood sweethearts we were so young
Yet we both did not realise that our paths had begun
And though we were children and only played games
A love would start growing and would be fanned by the flames.


And as we grew older I remember that first kiss
It gave a redemption encompassed in bliss
That embrace fought a battle and took away fear
And my lips kissed your eye to taste that sweet tear.


Then one day they called me and said I must fight
To leave all my family and defend what is right
With only a picture they took me away
Not knowing that I would return back one day.


Many years passed and I wrote to you
Telling you what I thought you must do
I told you to forget me and not be my bride
As the sounds of the battle took away what was inside.


Yet a pledge that you made and you waited for me
And wound I encountered sent me back free
I promise I’d remain with you for the rest of life
And the very next month I took you as wife.


Three children we had and one child we lost
In another great war that we paid with a cost
The years kept on passing and age came to stay
But the love that we had never faded away.


Then time took its toll of which we are a slave
Now I’m here standing by the edge of your grave
And I think back the memories of that which were ours
As I kneel down beside you to lay down these flowers.


I know that my journey will not be to long
Which is why every day I sing you this song?
For one day we’ll meet and in our arms will remain
And to kiss the sweet tear once more again.

Build Me Into
A Mountain Lord

Build me into a mountain Lord that others will see by sight.
The deposits formed within me God are by your might.
As your rain falls upon me Father and washes the soil within,
It will fall through the crevices of rock as washing away of sin.
Years of toil and pain will daily, upon this mountain lay,
As the layers of sediment forming Lord, a beautiful rock to stay.
Standing tall and firm through weather Lord, that beat upon my soil,
Will only cause a sure bold stance by so many trials and toil.
Coming into the heavenly’s hovering spiritually with you one on one.
Stirs up the love and gifts of you that are shared too by your son.
Feeling this fire within me Father that day-by-day does stir.
Your presence grows thicker as the aroma of fine myrrh.
Your fire not quenched my God by none or any others.
Will only pull Zion together as we are all brothers.
Deep within this mountain Lord in the heat of your love.
Is an ever abounding flow of lava flowing from above.
This lava Lord is none other than Jesus Christ your son.
As this land we have inherited, with his blood it has been won.
May we stand tall and firm in that the heat will stir in all.
As you my Father have all in hand and we are at your call.
The mountains are growing daily Lord and spewing from the top.
As harvest time is very near, in time, it is the crop.
Lava flows perfectly and forms all to what you desire.
The foundation of this earth will be cleansed by your fire.
Build me into a mountain Lord that I may spew the word.
As within me is your fire Oh God! All across the land will be heard.
Amen.
Ps 98:7-8
7. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8. Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

It's funny how we go about, like ships in the night
Wondering Did I do this right or Did I hurt somebody's Heart?
Do people love to share or are they too afraid?
We often think we are estranged and yet this person, that person
Yearns for fellowship

The nighttime comes all mercy gone
What is the answer pray
And then a song thrush clears it's throat
To welcome this new day

Whatever was I thinking of, what darkness came to lurk?
To dampen my ardour and steal my precious joy
Oh, Take care my friend,Let's leap the ravene of sorrow
We'll land afresh and say, "What's this?"
The songthrush sings," It's Yesturday's Tomorrow!"

Who, I wonder, in this world,
Could ever say and unfold,
Why you created me,
Or how I found you to be.

When I'm with you, it's true,
You make me feel brand new,
You saw within me,
What no one else could see.

Now I know that generosity,
Can put an end to hostility,
And I would chain eternity,
To keep my kindness faithfully.

In the service of good, I'd engage,
If I were to work in your presence,
And anything you would ever ask,
I would give to you with love, even my life.

Perhaps many people don't know,
But without you, I'm hollow,
I'm like a dry desert,
Lifeless and thirsty, I revert.

And when I've been at my hardest,
I always found you, regardless,
You were wherever I've been,
You didn't discard me like waste within.

That's why I want to proclaim,
That you are my God, in name,
Not only in times of bliss,
But also in times of abyss.

The sky was dark with sprinkles of stars
An extra bright star shone from afar
In the silence was a loud baby’s cry
While in the Heavens there was a wonderful sigh

God had come down as a small child
Holy – so tender and mild
Wondrous Angels singing on high
As they hovered in the night sky

Shepherds witnessing the wondrous birth
3 Kings bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh
Our long awaited Savior had been born
On that first beautiful Christmas morn

I am crab
I live by the sea
The sand and salt
Are the essence of me
The tide and the moon
Control my mood
I am sharp witted
I don’t mean to be rude
With beady eyes
And my hard shell
I see everything
And I am stubborn as well
I scuttle around
From side to side
My direction unknown
An interesting ride
I devour anything
Lying around
A true scavenger
To be found
If the sea is heavy
I can do it tough
Seek out areas
Not so rough
If you take me away
From waters edge
I’ll cook in my shell
With thoughts that sledge
So next time your down
The ocean way
And you spot a crab
On a good day
Stop and think
About this write
An amuse yourself
About my plight .....

An Intimate Relationship
Can Be Had
With God The Creator
You Will Be Glad !

It’s Easy To Do
For Me And You

Just Read And Pray
Then Listen And Obey
Everyday

When at last that first crack of dawn
Opens light in the still starry night
When the sleepy silence has broken
And the dawn breeze begins to stir
That overgrown limb on the lilac bush
Starts scratching against the door
When the ol’ tea kettle starts to whistle
And then begins to rattle on the stove
When the little feet begin to pitter-patter
Up and down and over the roof some more
When oh when is it …..finally time yet
To crawl out from under covers on our beds
And peek around the living room door
Can you make out how many gifts
There are now under the tree on the floor
Oh It is time I say so lets rise and shine
There’s just no way we can wait any more

Listen closely and you will hear
The most important message of all
A key to the dreams you hold so dear
An escape from the sweltering thrall

The subtle signs you’ve been missing
Processing your thoughts to no ends
All along what you’ve been dismissing
Living alone in a world just pretends

Before saying anything come to a stop
Explore the depths of your feelings
For in an instant an idea might pop
A new approach for healthy healings

Discover first what you need so clearly
What anyone else truly needs to know
What any of us really want so dearly
To become the star in our own show
