Best Devotiontime Poems


Premium Member No Time For You

It’s the end of the day and time for prayer.
Though I have gone on in my thoughtless way
With scarcely a thought of you on this day,
I have known I would find you waiting here.

No time was found for devotions today.
Keeping busy was I with my affairs,
Thinking you could wait for my nightly prayers.
But you have been helping me any way.

I am thanking you now for faithful care.
You were here when I turned the clocks ahead
You are here when I’m kneeling by my bed.
You are present when I am unaware.

I must listen to what you have to say 
As I’m going about my daily chores,
And remember that all my time is yours.
My prayers need not wait for end of day.

Homeward Bound: the Incredible Journey

In the land where ancient curses lie.
I could seek my Home above the sky.

I could ask these questions, meant for me:
Why does lonesome fear enslave the free?

Why would I traverse my lonely path,
When the trail incites such fearful wrath?

When all this time I knew the Hand of God.
Would rescue me from my hollow facade.

Would I resolve to love and not to hate,
If I knew it would lead to Heaven's gate?

If I knew how my heart sought better days.
In time I'd leave my world of empty praise.

In the land where ancient curses lie.
I could swear to live and not to die.

Deicide

I close my eyes to hide the pain inside,
I close my eyes to die inside.

  eyes are closed so i can hide,
I close my eyes to die inside.

 Within my mind I search inside,
finally in time I've died inside.

 I close my eyes to hide inside,
 with  eyes closed i die inside
 
Finally in time I die inside,
 only in time its deicide.


Missing You

Just Enough

I like you enough to compromise for you, and make sacrifices for you if need be.
Enough to miss you incredibly when we're apart, no matter what length of time it's for, and 
regardless of the distance. 
Enough to smile at the mere thought of you, or call from you at the right time.
Enough to spend time with you, be there for you when you need or want me, and never, 
ever disrespect you or lie to you.
Enough to know this is not a relationship, but a mutual agreement amongst friends, an 
intimate friendship.
I like you this much, JUST ENOUGH, not to fall in love with you.

Not Enough Time

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried 
prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now 
done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to 
friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to 
do, 
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to 
die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast 
eyes.
For in his hands God! held a 
book;
It was the book of life. 
God looked into his book and 
said 
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it 
down...
But never found the time"
Now do you have the time 
to pass it on?
Jesus loves you


Shovel

I.
Is it wrong to say I’m sorry
Is it wrong to say I care
Is it wrong to say I love you, baby
Is it wrong if I meant it

Pre-chorus (1)
But now it’s gonna change
But now it’s gonna change
But now it’s gonna change

Chorus
I won’t have it any other way
If I’m not part of your life
I won’t have it any other way
If I’m not part of your life

II.
All I want is to make you happy
Is that too much to ask
If you say that you don’t need it
Then I have nothing else to give

Pre-chorus (2)
But that’s not gonna change
But that’s not gonna change
But that’s not gonna change

Chorus
I won’t have it any other way
If I’m not part of your life
I won’t have it any other way
If I’m not part of your life

Bridge
Maybe it’s to let it go
Maybe it’s time to let it show
Maybe it’s time to let you know

Chorus

Sorry

SORRY

I am so sorry time went so fast

I am so sorry those good times would come to past

I am so sorry I did not do more

Talk share more time together before

Time goes past so very fast

As fast as sand going through an hour glass

Don't wait until tomorrow comes

To say what needs to be said to love ones

Do not hold back on what you wish to say

Say it straight away say it today

I am sorry time went past so fast

I am sorry the good times were not to last

Listen Carefully

His whispers are drastic, continuous, and cruel.
Shutting them out is like, fighting a duel.
A challenge we know, God wants us to fight, to let his words bring back that eternal light.
Singing praises, shouting the news, that Jesus is coming, and there's no time to lose.
Clean out the clutter, that is set in your mind, and allow your heart time to unwind.
Shout to the world that God's love is real, step out on faith and let yourself be reveled.

"our Days Off"

I hate the clock on the wall....
It makes our time fast and fall....
We try to fill our days with so much....
But we never forget a delicate touch....
It could be a long walk on the city streets....
As we laugh at all the strange people we meet....
A stolen kiss as we ride the train....
Which could lead to more if we don't refrain....
Don't look at the clock, it will tick to fast....
We must salivate and make it last....
Till we're home alone and I can get lost in you...
My watch will stay off for its time for us to brew...
