Any collection of Christian poetry should include Christian poems in the category of forgiveness, which is one of the bedrock basics of Christianity. If it’s true that you write about what you need to learn, then I should write dozens of forgiveness verses. I have a situation in my family that I have found difficult to forgive. My daughter, my only child, who lives a short drive from me, told me in the year 2000 that I was "no longer part of her family." I have at least two grandchildren that I know of, one of whom I’ve never seen. Don’t pity me; God has blessed me mightily in other ways. With much prayer and the Lord’s help, I have come a long way, but I have a long way to go. I am asking for your prayers that I can forgive completely, let go, and turn it all over to the Lord. Some Christian poems come out of personal experience. This Christian poem comes straight from my heart. It’s time to look to God’s own Holy Word. I search the Bible for His good advice; My will to His commands must be deferred. In all things God works only for my good; He gives me blessings I can’t understand; I’d be peaceful if I’d do the things I should. I want to mold my life after His own. I pray, I try, but my sinful nature wins; Lord, help me, I can’t do this thing alone. Oh, how I long to feel it in my heart. All I have to do is to forgive, But Lord, it seems I don’t know where to start. They’re doing what they think they have to do. I know some problems are blessings in disguise, But Lord, sometimes I feel so doggone blue. Get rid of anger and every form of malice." I’d love to just let go and release it all, But upon my heart is a wound that’s become a callus. I’m determined to let go and relinquish blame; Some day, I’ll say, and be truly sincere: "I forgive it all in Jesus’ precious name."

Christian poems can describe the spiritual struggles that Christians go through, as this free verse Christian poem does. what I want to do, I don’t do enough of, and what I don’t want to do, I do too much of. I know the rules for a Christian life, according to the Bible, and I’m trying; I really am, but… heaven and eternity seem so far away, and the rampantly materialistic world presses in so close from every direction, every side, that I get distracted. Focus, focus, focus! I need to focus, laser-like on a simple, God-centered life. Do I really need to make that frivolous purchase, instead of giving the money to someone who needs it so much more than I do? Can I watch that TV show, read that book, listen to that song that contains (and promotes!) even a little bit of what the Bible forbids, without being corrupted? Do I do enough to love and help and encourage others? Pride always hovers, eagerly waiting to subdue and conquer humility, so I think too much of myself. I know the rules; the Bible makes everything clear. Forgive me, Lord; I’m trying, but… Romans 7:15 Matthew 6:19 Matthew 22:39 Philippians 4:8 Christian poetry can comfort those in distress, as this free Christian poem does. It's a Christian verse that acknowledges that we can derive strength, courage and comfort from knowing our Lord is always there for us. When rain and storms replace the sunny weather, When things I counted on fail to sustain me, There’s nothing we can’t handle, Lord, together. If I start to lose the things I hold most dear, I know that I can tell it all to You; You want to listen to me and to hear. When problems seem too great for me to bear, You’ll always be there for me, Lord, I know; I can come to you on bended knees in prayer. You’ll always be my King, my Lord, my Friend; To share my burdens, worries, and my cares, You’ll love me and support me to the end.

In Spring we are reminded of the magnificence of Your creation, as the earth is covered in verdant green, with splendid splashes of color, and we witness birth everywhere, of animals bearing their young, of buds turning into leaves and flowers and our own moods being reborn with renewed energy and life. in Summer, we remember the warmth of Your love for us and the light of Your goodness. Both are everywhere for those who look. Thank You for butterflies, birds and wildlife for us to enjoy, water to swim in, and weather that frees us to romp and play while outdoor pleasures are at their peak. In Fall, we thank you for Your cooling breezes, that bring relief from the relentless summer heat. We see bright colors fading and dying, leaves turning brown, crisp, disintegrating, only to be reborn next year, reminding us that every living thing, including us, must die in some way before being reborn. In Winter, as white snow blankets the ground, we are reminded of Your purity and Your perfection. The complexity and beauty of each single snowflake only hints at Your transcendent intelligence and creativity. We hunker down and snuggle in, knowing this season will wind down and Spring will reappear, as it always has because You created an orderly, predictable universe, not by chance, but from your flawless design. and everything in them that You created for our enjoyment.

With everything around us crumbling, Morality held in contempt, Our leaders false, corrupt, or bumbling, To lead us through this darkening place; His absolute truth will light our way; He’ll lift us with His love and grace. In God’s word, we take our stands; Role models we will strive to be, Examples of our Lord’s commands. To complete the tasks you’d have us do; We pray you’ll lead us, guide us now To know and love and follow you.

This Christian poem speaks of Christ's love and forgiveness. That reaches deeper than we know, Exists not because of what we are, But "in spite of," "anyhow," and "even though." This Christian poem refers to the transformation that is expected of us when we are saved. Is impossible to do. Man tells us to be better; Jesus asks us to be new. What can I say about this Christian poem? Words fail, and tears come. Had his day in court with me. Judge, jury, executioner, What justice could there be? And evidence he raised, Parading all before my eyes, While I in horror gazed. One told of willfulness and pride. As one by one the charges grew, Each one I bitterly denied. I knew that what they said was true. The parts of self I thought were dead Were still alive, still working through. The trial, I saw, drew to an end. I saw my wretched self condemned, Not worthy even to defend. Fighting tears of great despair, And saw that Christ, my Advocate, Was in attendance there. "Lord, what am I to do?" And silently He whispered back, "My child, I died for you." So sure of his victory, And said, in a voice becalmed by love, "I'm ready now to state my plea." Of all that you have said of me. But Jesus knew and still He loved. And He is my authority." More Christian Poemsto see and access all our pages.
