Last Commented Religion / Spirituality Poems (1,342)

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

Imagine the world without the Candle Christ
The candle symbolizing Jesus – his love and sacrifice
The little King in a manger came to save all of those
His children from the beginning of time he had chose

Imagine the world without that Christ candle
It would be like a lantern without its handle
He brought the lights of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love
Which are all gifts from our Heavenly Father above

But the greatest gift even more then all these
Is the promised gift of eternal life if we but believe
For in that sacrifice He took all our sins away
If we ask for forgiveness – our debt is already paid

So this Christmas as you celebrate the birth
Of that baby born 2,000 years ago on this earth
The lights of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love shine bright
And the love of God and his Spirit guide our life

It's quite interesting how we mortals are limited by time...
Blind with false notions, blind in our minds...
I can clearly recall that day in the spirit world...
The kindness of Angels....the kind that shines fine...

Armies of Angels with soft-spoken words...
Flying with golden silk feathers like birds...
Ready to witness the most important event in all of eternity...
The birth of Our Savior, my eyes were then blurred...

I knelt before Angels....I listened and heard...
I felt I should speak, but there were no words...
It was in Your infinite wisdom to not let me see...
The birth of Our Savior....Ruler of worlds...

You did not withhold all from me however...
Through feathers of Angels, I probably never...
Have seen such cries from such heavenly skies...
As liquid stars dripped from Your heavenly eyes...

For You knew the importance of what had just taken place...
And had orchestrated this concert through time and through space...
It indeed was for me and all of the inhabitants of the earth...
The birth of Our Savior...Oh Sweet Child's Birth......

IMAGINE – Part 3

Imagine the world without the Candle Joy
The laugh of a child playing with a toy
New parents celebrating a new born birth
Celebrating holidays with sounds of mirth

Without Joy the whole world would be sad
Going around with nothing at all to feel glad
Every day would be like a day of mourning
Nothing to look forward to each morning

What a depressing place it would be
With no happiness in sight to see
Weeping, crying long faces all the time
Of Joy and gladness there would be no sign

On Christmas Day the Candle Joy came
In the form of a baby and Jesus was His name
He gave us the ability to see Joy in all things
Including death as our Spirit then to Heaven wings

Imagine the world without the Candle Peace
War and mayhem would rule and never cease
Evil would reach anywhere and everywhere
Causing chaos – confusion and fear

The 2nd Advent candle stands for the Prince of Peace
Because He came to give us spiritual release
Away from the Prince of Darkness and his reign
In Faith giving us Peace until He returns again

He told us to love our enemies as ourselves
To not be influenced by the forces of Hell
Live in Peace and harmony everyday
With all those at work, home and play!

He could have had 10,000 Angels save him that day
Instead He died for all our sins on the cross of shame
He chose Peace instead of fighting and waging war
Showing us God’s love for all of us and more

The coming of the Prince of Peace was to show the way
To have us follow in His footsteps each and everyday
Until the time He returns in triumph to eternally stay
With all His blessed children who believe in Him we pray

I shall take a pinch
Of betrayal
A portion of despair
And a slice of heartbreak
Blend it with a large
Dose of grief
And mix it all
In your coffee
So you may experience
Exactly
How I feel

As we vision, a Forest in the Night
First the Daylight, turns to Night
sometimes not knowing, how long till light
walk into a branch, with sudden fright
blinded by darkness, until we're freed
so many times, the storms of life, "Is Me"
feeling like a wet bird, wanting to dry
so i could spread my wings, like an Angel and Fly

Paths lead deeper, into the night
tho, loosing direction, in broad daylight
I cannot see, what tomorrow brings
living for today, as a running stream
Eyes are Tired, and Heart is Weak
My Hopes for Tomorrow, is on My knees
Black Outside, and in Despair!
living on Faith, that "You" are there!

Surrounded by Darkness, Forever it seems
a cast of Light, is all I Dream
a candle will do it, not asking much
hope and faith, starve my fears
tho I'm alone, "You" are Here!
has given me strength, through all my years
Its fall outside, and winters near
the leaves keep falling, without no Tears

Its getting Darker, and Colder indeed
The World we Live, Wont Look to See
so sad to feel, I walk alone
in Forests of Darkness, and "Not" Thy Throne!
Your Kingdom is Coming! But By "Surprise"
Soon we will know it, We'll see "The Light"
Daylight at Last, Our Lies and Skeemes
Standing Before, "Thy Great Redeemed"
"EYE TO EYE"

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

All of the animals are weeping today
For their loving protector has gone away
Leaves of ruby, gold, amber hanging down
Tears of crystal dripping to the ground

Small animals huddling in their dens
While large ones stood hanging their heads
All the woodlands and fields were in mourning
For the loss of their earthly angel that morning

She would come and speak to them softly
Loving and protecting them fiercely
She would take the injured and sick to heal
Returning them to the woods, air or field

They were sad for themselves but happy for her
For in Heaven she was with God’s creatures there
Walking among them – happy and free of pain
Knowing that one day they would see her again

Thank you Lord for each and every day of the year
Especially for the loved ones I hold so dear
With Him I fly high on eagle’s wings
With joy and gladness in my heart I sing

Thank you for sheltering me in times of storms
Never leaving my side and keeping me warm
My guiding light through the darkest days
Bringing me back out into the daylight sun rays

Thank you Lord for sight that I may see
Everything that you have always done for me
For the sun in the day and the moon and stars at night
All of your creations are a beautiful sight

From the Universe to the smallest butterfly
Every wondrous thing I see with my eyes
Humbled by your love and your ultimate gift
That you died for me so that I could eternally live

For this I am the most thankful for
That I will live with you forever more
