Best Faithme Poems
I got a letter the other day;
The Postman delivered it in the usual way.
No return address I could see;
Who could possibly be writing to me?
I took the letter into my desk;
Made some room amidst the mess;
Used the opener to get inside;
Suddenly my eyes opened wide.
The letter was from my Father above,
He wanted to tell me of His love,
He told me I was special in his eyes,
And He sought me out like a worthwhile prize.
He's been watching over me, night and day.
And His spirit has guided my way.
All things are working together for my good,
I know He will do that which He promised me He would.
"Will you walk with Me, dear child?"
Comes His challenge , soft and mild.
"Yes, my God- give me your word,
I receive You as my Saviour and Lord."
I got God's letter through the mail,
And I know He can never fail'
My heart already knows revival.
Thank you- whoever sent me my first Bible'

Come with me on a journey of thought
Open your mind and let’s travel creation
Let us not follow the sheep the masses
They are lost and confused
With no direction but to follow
Take off your shoes with me
And walk this creation
Let our souls feel the way
We shall tread the path of our desires, our happiness
The meaning of life
Our existence to inherit, this bounty of creation
Happiness, abundance, love and peace
Open your mind to enter paradise
For there it exists
Lay down your heavy baggage of fears and doubts
Lift your spirit free to soar like the wind
Have courage, faith and the wisdom of love
We shall follow the path of our dreams
A new era is a dawn
Enter the new frontier
Tread the path with me that awaits
A new time in our history of existence
We shall have, be, and go where our thoughts take us
On the path we tread to our dreams
Who ever you are, where ever you may be
Paradise exists,
When you tread the path with me
Form:
Though you slay me yet I will praise you
You gave me this life, a precious, precious gift
I am so unworthy of Your blessings Lord Jesus
Holy Spirit, make me whole, uplift my spirit to praise You
Give me boldness to bless the name of my creator
Forgive my doubts, sins, and weakness
Lord you give to the grass, birds, and the earth creatures
Their needs for the day lord...
Bless my family and those who read this poem
Give me strength for my daily tasks
Hold me close to your chest, I need You!!
Praise Jesus!!
"Lord", I know your laws
my life, you see my flaws
I can't erase my sins
everyday it lives within
when I do good things
the bad is still there, it hangs
it keeps me from happiness
hoping for forgiveness
I've tried and prayed
I feel it maybe too late
this world has made me realize
it needs you for paradise
happiness never lasts long
misery always prolongs
I'm not a pope, nun, nor angel
I hunger for your world
to be free from evil
waiting for heaven to prevail
like most in life, ive failed
odds of eternal forever
seems to me maybe never
perhaps I can't live my real life
until I passed through that light
I gaze at you upon the cross
And know deep down in my heart
I was responsible
For the plight that You went through
All though it happened long ago
I wasn't even born
You took it upon Yourself
To save me from the scorn
I know I haven't always
Made the right decisions
And those that I did make
I did so with good intentions
It was Your laws that I did break
Those called the Ten Commandments
And You hang there upon the cross
For my indiscretions
And now today centuries later
You're still there for me to view
And all the memories come flooding back
I wasn't there for You
In an audience of one,
He knows everything I’ve said and done.
Though I can try I cannot hide,
He walks with me right by my side.
When I close my eyes He is there watching over me,
He is my strength, this man who walked the Seas of Galilee.
He is the cup from which I daily sip,
He is the friend with whom I choose to fellowship.
He battled the beast to save my soul,
And offers me a mansion with streets of gold.
Just for my obedience and doing what I know is right,
He guides my path with His shining light.
He shows me the dark side of those temptations that call,
He carried me those times I would stumble and fall.
I praise His name to all who will hear,
His message to me has become crystal clear.
I wish to share His love with those who are lost and confused,
He alone took on all our sins as His poor body was mutilated and abused.
He gave His very life just to share Heavens bounties with each and everyone,
And rose from deaths tomb, to claim this victory, God’s only Son.
If I forget, remind me of how things used to be.
Before the fall of man.
Before I hired myself as his assassin.
When I start shaking, remind me why I have nothing to fear.
That life won't go the way I planned.
That I'm much better off not caring.
So that in the end I will remember how this all began.
Retrace my steps. Find out what went wrong.
And make it right again.
I confess...
I can't see You any better than I did yesterday,
God are you there, in those clouds that are in the way
...
If I'm here and You're there, what is that distance
between us that seems to grow larger everyday
starving man in the desert I am
wandering to somewhere I don't know
and can't find and don't want
but now I'm heading there and don't want to go.
Please find me, God, draw near to me again
despite of my falling behind
I need You more than ever, and am less
than ready to admit it in my mind
...
I'd be very grateful, beyond all, if
if You could meet with me today
Now I lay me down to bed,
I pray to god no tears are shed,
I pray to you, cause my heart bleeds,
I turn to you in my time of need.
I need your guidance, so here’s my prayer,
cause this is a heartache, i just can’t bear.
god, please give me strength, to forget my past,
and help me love so it can last.
Please help me learn to overcome,
all the bad things said and done.
Help me trust so when we’re apart,
I always know I’m in his heart.
Please give me courage to face my fears,
to love and laugh with no more tears.
Help me have a peaceful night,
so when I wake in the morning light,
I know our love will stand tall,
through all the obstacles big and small.
Thank you for listening, yet again,
I know your always there for me, goodnight, amen.
Lord I stand alone before you.
My soul lay at your feet
I seek your wisdom and your strength
In life’s walk I am so weak
You are my guiding light dear Lord
You are the King of Kings
But yet you are my Father and friend
Loving Mercy and Grace you bring
Forgive me of my failures Lord
Let your wisdom rain down
Stand with me Lord where ere I go
when satan’s darts fly all around
With every Mountain that I climb
the valley waits below
You are with me and you hold my hand
with streams of GRACE that flow
Thank you for our quiet times
my heart cries out to you
I beg your love for all I know
give them life brand new
I sing my love through feeble words
so unworthy for you
All Choirs of Angels sing your praise
My heart sings with them too
My King, My Lord, My Master and Friend
Never turn from me
Mold me into your Child today
Oh this, on my knees I plea
Please bring our Nation back to you
your wisdom we desire
Show Satan’s demons their great defeat
Let us never tire
Give us strength to stand to the end
Come quickly Lord I pray
Bring revival back to our land again
Start with ME in my walk today.
The chip on my shoulder, was the missing piece of the cross ---
Jesus took it off on that day, I accepted Him as my Holy Boss ---
People often told me that someday someone would knock it off ---
All I would do is smile, when they lectured me with their scoff ---
The Lord was waiting for that joyous and special day ---
When I accepted for my salvation the life, the truth and the way ---
I felt a heavy burden of sin being lifted from my troubled soul ---
On that day, when that chip of wood made the cross complete and whole.
God Blesses My Soul
God blesses my soul every day in very many little ways.
And He answers my prayers: yes, no, or wait a few more days.
If there ever is: discord, contention or dissension.
I am held in special arms, well loved, safe; did I mention?
My soul soars when I see the Father working in my life.
He gives me special comforts to relieve me of my strife.
If I need some extra cash, poof! Like magic, God will send:
Unexpected rebates or birthday money from old friends—
Every time I am happy, the whole world becomes my toy.
God blesses me with critters and the plants that bring me joy.
But greater than those blessings that He gives to me while near.
Is the blessing of eternity with my Savior, dear.

Poetic form: Couplets
for thine challenge of will faces my very existence
now i scurry for no one but God, the Creator
i bow down to no other
challenge i will face with a whole heart
justified in faith
certified in sin... as i repent my wrongs
devastated i stand and wish to be no longer
Lord hear my cry, help me be stronger!
for thine challeges of daily tasks sometime seem impossible
are they really or is my strength failing me but why
i know not the circumstances, so i turn away from it all and look towards the sky
i bear within me a spirit of will
and i will overcome... i will defeat all my demons
not just some
i see many times where i should have died during my previous style of living
someone something was watching over me i rather not assume
the matter of will is the more difficult part of me
i have experienced enough emotioinal pain through failed attempts at love
anxiously awaiting for the calm after the storm
i tend to hinder myself to be released from self confinement but convince myself to go forward
i am no longer a slave to misery or regret
yet in so many ways enslavement still threatens myself my desires and my dreams
without dreams i'm stuck
i must go deep inside the core of my being to free myself
until i do i will always be running and never truly at ease
insanity dominates my life at times and the essence of my disease
i tend to get chained to negativity with no cutting loose
power can remove these character defects from me when i don't practice deception
i like the idea of admitting defeat it sets me free
If I could have a word with God
I’d tell him I’m not pleased
Throughout the years he’s toyed with me
He tempted and he teased
He’d lead me up that primrose path
Then with my goal in sight
Spins me round a dozen times
And turn out every light
Seems to me whenever I’m
About to be in clover
Someone pulls the rug out
And I have to start all over
So please God if you’re listening
I’ve never asked for much
The next time I’m successful
Don’t kick me in the crotch
