He Chose to Die For Us, a poem

Easter is coming up so  here is an easter poem:
he Chose to die for Us:

The holy king of glory
died upon a cross,
to ransom from this sin-sick world
Those who would believe.

We all had a part
In putting him on that cross,
Our sin, our rebellion and shame,
Our disobedience and rejection.

he chose to die for us,
He wanted to redeem us
It was god's will and plan to save us
And give us a hope and a future.

so the pure, holy lamb of God
Paid the price to set us free.
His blood has cleansed us from our sins
And his death has brought us eternal life.

but the good news is, o praise the Lord,
Jesus did not stay dead for long;
Death could not hold God's son captive,
On the third day he rose again.

the holy king of glory
died upon a cross,
And rose from the dead on the third day,
bringing us life and healing and hope.

Testify, a poem

This one oi hot off the pres. Thanks for reading.

Testify:
Most beautiful and glorious Lord
far above all others,
More precious than everything this world offers,
More lovely, more holy, more sweet.

yet you consider us valuable,
you willingly gave your life
And took all our sins on yourself, dear Jesus,
to redeem and ransom the lost.

You formed me in my Mother's womb,
You made me who you want me to be,
You drew me to you when I was just a child
And made me part of your family.

You gave me gifts and talents to use,
You gave me a new, clean heart,
You put me where  you want me to be
And  Lord I thank you for using me.

your spirit working in my life,
changing me from the inside out,
Fashioning Godly character in me,
Like a jeweler working with gold or silver.

yes there are trials and challenges to face,
yes there are temptations and battles,
No I will never be perfect
On this side of the grave.

But lord you are always near,
You never leave or forsake me,
Though I fail and though i fall
You never turn your love away from me.

So Lord I want to testify
Of your faithful love and mercy;
Of all you have done and are doing for me
Of the free gift of your grace.

And Lord I want to thank you
with an overflowing heart
for the work you are doing in my life
and the times when you use me.

for the Holy Spirit living in me
For your word which teaches me wisdom,
For making me part of your family
And most of all, for Christ who died for me.

Worship God Most high!

Here is a poem I wrote today I hope you  will like it.

O Lord you are exalted,
Far above all others,
we bow down and worship
You, the king of glory.

O majestic and holy one
My father and my Lord.
King above every other ruler,
Reigning from eternity to eternity,

I lift my hands and raise my voice
to sing of your great unfailing love ,
for you Lord gave your only son
who died on the cross to set us free.

O God most high, lord of hosts,
O lover of my soul
I will celebrate your steadfast love
with thanks for all you've done for me

And I will tell those you bring my way
of your extravagant, boundless love!
Of the sacrifice of your only son
That brings forgiveness and liberty.

And when we stand before you Lord
And kneel at your glorious throne,
Our heart's desire will be fulfilled
for we will see you clearly.

And forever stretches out
Beyond the bounds of time,
where sin and death have been destroyed
And you will reign in victory.

We'll walk with you and talk with you,
We will dance on streets of gold,
we'll joyfully, willingly serve you
And behold you reigning in majesty!

poem - Our Great Shepherd:

[Note]: I usually write my poems in free verse since it seems to be easier for me that way, but sometimes I try to write something in rhyming verse to challenge myself a little. here is one such poem:

Our Great Shepherd
Life seems full of possibilities
When we walk with Jesus as our guide,
There's clear direction for our future
when he has control of our lives.

We spare ourselves some pain and problems
When we follow the way he will show,
On our own we stumble, fall and fail
As those who have been there do know!

There is joy and contentment in following the shepherd
though the way be narrow and stony,
he knows the way to the celestial city
that noone knows, except him only.

It's better to join the Great shepherd's flock
than straggle and struggle alone;
He watches over his flock with loving care
And will never leave us on our own!


So, come now and join God's family
[There's no reason to delay;]
Following Jesus our Great Shepherd
Who lovingly guides us on  our way!
