Baptism Poems | Examples of Baptism Poetry

I determined to take seize of a lightning bolt! Paused at every tree. Flashed and thundered all about – stood by every metal post, just to see if God wanted me. Went to the nearest church… prayed for a voice or sign: and from behind the altar heard a gulping sound, pastor draining the sacrament wine. Not a good day....

Meticulously petitioning the Divine for renascence, From the trepidation of my solipsistic ways. A renascence into the sempiternal. For a moment, I was indolent. But mercy is not optional, Love unconditional. Seeking the Magnanimous One, The Luminous One renders me numinous. Promised blessings falling like raindrops, Sheltered by anointing, Like Daniel, before whom beasts capitulate, Like Shadrach, untouched by flame, Like Job faith unshaken by...

I remember what I am. So do they. Cognitive dissonance, Keeps them at bay. Illusions tend to Bind with lies. Look with your ears, Not with your eyes. Listen to your words, What do they say? They might just set you On your path today. Your soul's purpose Is hard to find. Think with your heart, Not with your mind. Pain helps us Find our way. Don’t hold tight, Lest it lead you astray. Two...

My soul is lifted out of my mind. In its stead— filled by the Holy Spirit, guided in silence by its breath... like an angry wind held still above a river born of crashing falls, with a tooth that grinds iniquities, and a sacred flame that cooks the soul, the mind, the spirit— to perfection... for the baptism of old me to become a whole...

Leaders are worshiped, Armies are much hailed, Weapons are much praised, And innocent creatures are, Killed in the streets, in the Homes, while they are working, While they are sleeping, The children's heart full of, Terror, they are told, we are, Worrier, we win the war, But who tell the preacher, Wars cant not be won, and No way, they can be win, Both side loose,...

That Chosen Day Where will you be when Christ returns, Will you be in His will as He yearns. What will you be doing on that chosen day, Living in sin thinking it will be years away. Will you be ready when the trumpets sound, And the clouds part as our Savior comes down. When He returns,...

They took me at seven, not with chains — but with silence, incense, and Latin refrains. Fr. Toni, black-robed, sharp-eyed and still, Read my soul like scripture, broke my will. Not to destroy — no, they had higher plans: To sculpt a mind that could command all man. Philosophy before puberty, Logic before love, I drank Cicero like milk, Dreamed in Aquinas above. They whispered...

I have lived before the clocks were wound, When silence spoke and stars made sound. My hands once etched in temple stone, The prayers of kings, yet slept alone. I knew the scent of burning leaves, In Vedic dawns, beneath fig trees. I sang where Nile met desert wind, A priest of fire, a soul thick-skinned. In Rome, I wore the thinker’s face, In...

Often I gaze In shadows I sought refuge Healing waters from the valley of visions Measured my portion In weaves I sowed my seed Through many days of distortion We Tilled the sky It bore us life In his ways I hope to walk The King of Kings is Yeshua He rose again from the grave Often I gaze In gardens of plenty Toward the east Toward the Valley...

Core of ancient planets where the outback grows a-wild; Wind atop the atoll high, hearken to thy child! Desert flower, where is love? Where is grace for me? Someone get me God above! Fate and fancy-free! Railing tyrant, city old, absinthe in a glass. Green fluid, ignited cube, sugar, sassafras. Vision sacred, mystery. Harvest season: when? Weathervane, thy melody! Here and now,...

Once a shadow on a wall dreams to weak to call wishing with a fleeting spark sitting silently between light and dark with tides that pulled and storms that raged I shed skin where we were new from fragile forms to something new we rose like the sun from a midnight blue When no fear remains I dance above on Earth's refrain ...

So many years ago... Yet I remember well. The night we all prayed... God let us know... Then on each His Spirit fell. The certainty that He loves me... The presence of His love. The Holy Spirit He set free... In power from above. In a dozen men that night who prayed... In a circle holding hands. Each of us confused... dismayed... Ever since...
