Best Call On Poems
Call on me when your boat is sinking,
you’re blown off course, or you’ve run aground,
call on me when you’re lost in the wilderness,
call on me when you want to be found.
Call on me when the tough decisions
you have to make are too hard to bear,
when you have doubts, when the price seems too high to pay,
call on me, and I will be there.
Call on me when the future’s daunting,
when you’ve lost hope, when the darkness won’t end,
when you’re in pain, when you grieve, when you’re scared and alone,
call on me when you need a friend.
Lost among shadows of solitude’s flow
Stained glass illusions destroying her heart
Sadness competes for a seat on the row
Little it knows long ago brought it’s start
Sorrow now lingers the depth to believe
Longing some guidance, the proof to be shone
Sitting alone in the silence this eve
Feeling this night is now all she has known
Gone every hope of her desperate fears
Dreamed inspiration of moments unable
Drowned in the waves of her unending tears
Life plays it’s hand as it folds on the table
Merely a light in the darkness to shine
Silent her prayer sent aloft, up above
Doubtful at best of now crossing the line
Never again to know eternal love
When like an echo, a voice it does call
An answer perhaps to her last whispered prayer
I will be near if ever you fall
Call on my name, I shall always be there

The image reveals to its audience, four light slices of tall, stale bread
Being held upright alongside five glasses of warm, thickening honey
Filled to the very rim, coagulating as the bread stales due to time’s extended hold
A long table embracing these entities, blurry life buzzes in the backdrop
Neighboring me close, waiting to pervade me
Stands Opportunity, ambrosial in sight and smell—sticky in persistence
Opportunity is multitudinous, overflowing, enticing—though often overwhelming
Days pass and Opportunity lingers in different shades
Bright orange in corroding inspiration, spread around and behind
Even dark shades of its power peak out of the glasses waiting to break
Waiting to release its freedoms upon me—to freshen, moisten my stale existence
I continue to stand in equal portions, life outside a mere haze
Distorted shapes afar…tranquil colors of whites, silvers and greens
They giggle, for as time passes, Opportunity is still good
Not I—no; I must stand wait forever on this wooden surface
Drying and aching for the moisture I cannot dream to touch
Though perhaps if life outside becomes clearer, a hand will reach for us,
And I will be drenched in the generous overflow…a nourishment for all I know

This was fun! Hope I followed the rules okay!
His name is JESUS,
When you invite him in your life
your chance for salvation increases,
He is the MESSIAH
it is him who I love,
Because he died for me
and there's power in his name
and in his blood,
He is my SAVIOR
Once I surrendered to him
I saw a change in my behavior,
and now i'm highly favored,
He is the MIGHTY ONE who's annointed,
With him i'm never lonely
or am I disappointed,
His name is EMANNUEL my lord,
I wear his armor, I hold his shield
and I clutch his sword,
He is THE PRINCE OF PEACE,
He gets all the praise
See it is he who rescued me
from a den of thieves,
He is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD
So I worship his holy name
and give him the glory,
I owe him everything, he's my rock
and he allows me to tell my story,
He is the TRUTH AND THE WAY,
So when times get tough
I kneel down and I pray,
He is the MORNING STAR
AND THE SON OF GOD,
He's THE GREAT I AM
and he gets my nod,
So I shout to the heavens as well as applaud,
He's the ALPHA & OMEGA
He came to save the fallen,
and yes he has many names
just choose 1 and call him. [ I do ]
Hearts within Souls
Open wide
Don't know who to Trust or Believe
Truth is always in Jesus
Call on Jesus
Souls wander around
Never knowing
Love can't be found
Jesus arms are open wide
Call on Jesus
When Trouble hits
Far and wide
No-one is by your side
Jesus Never leaves you
Call on Jesus
When Your Tormented
Or in Tormail
When all else fails
Jesus is waiting
Call on Jesus
When Your sad and alone
Your heart sinks.. ever so Low
feel like giving up all hope
Don't give Up
Call on Jesus
When Your life is a big mess
gets you down.. upset
and even depressed
don't get stressed
Call on Jesus
When Your afraid
Fear overwhelms you
You don't know what to do
Jesus gives divine protection
Call on Jesus
When You can't handle things anymore
When you feel like..
You can just give up...
Jesus will fill you with His Loving cup
Call on Jesus
When in Life..
All things going Great..
Everything is running smooth
Give Jesus Praise..
Call on Jesus..
Thank Him.. give Him the Glory
No Matter whatever happens in Life
Always come and Fellowship
With Jesus Christ
Have a Personal Relationship with our Lord
He is waiting.. what do you have to loose
Victory is Won..
Come to Our Father's Son
Jesus Christ...
We call on Him
We call on Him when not a thing we have to eat
We call on Him when clothes we have not to wear
We call on Him finances we cannot be beat
We call on Him when circumstance to our eye bring a tear
We call on him
We don’t ever call on Him when we prosper
Not even a sigh of relieve nor a whisper
When we stand witness to the sun as it rise
Not even then we call on Him to say thank you nor to recognize
We call on Him when it suites us best
When He calls on us, it’s like a bullet hitting a bulletproof vest
Yet He allows us to call on Him
So yes, We call on Him
We call on Him
Call on me Lord
I am here call to me
The sound is clear
Your sound
Your sound
Your words, heard
Your sound
Is all I hear?
Call on me Lord
I will follow you O Lord Lead me Sheppard God
I will
Follow, Follow
I will follow I will follow like a sheep
Through the rains
On the wet streets
I will follow, follow, and follow
Through the rains
Through the storms
Through the deserts warms
Through the passions
Likes contractions
We are set in Him whole birth reborn
Through the passions
Life’s contractions
We are set in Him
Speak Lord Speak
I receive, I receive, I receive
Call on me Lord
I am here call to me
The sound is clear
Your sound
Your sound
Your words, heard
Your sound
Hallelujah

LOADED UP ON CARNAGES MASTODON RADIUS
MARKINGS ON THE WALL
HEIGHTEN PICTURE PERFECT ETCHINGS ABOUT TO FALL
HAVE YOU READ ME MY, RIGHTS YET
WAIT ON ME AS I PLACE MY BET, YEAH!
DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN TAKE MY CHICKEN TO A VET, WELL. . .
THINK I'LL HAVE BETTER LUCK WITH THE DIANOISES OF MY PET ROCK
Lord I call on you
COVERED IN MY OWN BLOOD
NOBODY CARES NOBODY LOOKIN
I AM COVERED IN CAMGLAMORANT SLEEPING IN THE VACANT CAR IN A GARAGE
MOSKETOES AND ROACHES GIVING ME A MOSAGE (WHAT THAT AIN'T SPELLED RIGHT)
I DON'T SEE NO HELP TONIGHT

Lord I call on you
AGAIN I AM LOADED UP ON CARNAGES MASTODON RADIUS MARKINGS ON THE WALL
AND I DON'T NO LONGER INTEND TO FALL
MAKING COOKIES OUT OF STYROFOAM BEADED MEMBREANCES
WHO ATE MY PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES
WHERE IS Ernie Hayes, Who is Ernie Hayes?
and what band does he play IN and why is he to blame
And I can read them all, read them all
And as I read the literature that's on the wall
As I read it I call on you
As I see it I call on you
As I descript it, I call, I call on you;
have they read me my rights yet?
do you know where I can take my chicken to the vet?
think I'll have better luck with my pet rock;
what time is it, what does it say on the clock?
Lord what am I to do, it's free guess I'll just;
CALL ON YOU

CALL ON JESUS
Call on Jesus today
he will take your sin away
he will make you white as snow
Jesus as Savior you must know
Call on Jesus right now
On your knees before Him bow
Ask Him to live in your heart
Of His family you can be part
Cal on Jesus do not delay
He will hear you today
He loves you this is true
Will you lo9ve Him too
Maybe things in your life have taken "the wrong turn,"
Life is passing you by—-you're not concerned...
Things that were important... are important no more,
Life seems so dull and dry-rather a bore.
Your love for your friends and family is gone,
Almost everything you do...it's all wrong!!!
Your life seems to be like a ship lost out on the sea,
You cry, "Lord-what is happening to me???"
Jesus loves you so much...he really does understand,
Waiting there to pick you up-with a special loving hand.
He'll replace your loneliness witha satisfying love,
Putting your life back together gently, like a gentle dove...
His perfect love will give you a peace of mind,
So call on him now---NOW is the time!

All your acts done with
the eyes, mind, tongue and muscles
will sure bring their fruits.
Then the pair sorrow and joy
call on happily married.

give me a show
like you've never given before
let your rage explode
like never before
give my heart the voice
it's never had before

Our God can always reach you , though you have fallen low.
He’s near you on the mountain top and in that vale below.
The One who marks the sparrows fall, will not lose sight of you.
He has promised that He’ll love you, no matter what you do.
Don’t say that sin has bound you, for God’s love can break those chains.
Though all the world deserts you, be assured His love remains.
God made you pure and holy when He put you here on Earth.
The devil has a hold on you, but God knows what you’re worth.
Old Satan can’t defy him, when our God tells him to scat.
You can’t beat evil by yourself, just call on God for that.
Our God can always reach you there, though you have fallen low.
He’s near you on the mountain top and in that vale below.
Just call His name, He’ll hear you, though you speak it not aloud.
He’ll find you if you’re by yourself or in a milling crowd.
The One who marks the sparrows fall, will not lose sight of you.
He has promised that He’ll love you, no matter what you do.
Don’t say that sin has bound you, for God’s love can break those chains.
Though all the world deserts you, be assured His love remains.
God made you pure and holy when He put you here on earth.
The devil has a hold on you, but God knows what you’re worth..
