Best Faithsong Poems
A Song at Sunrise
He sang the song at sunrise, to the morning dawn
It rose into the atmosphere and carried on and on
It fell in gentle rain upon the barren lands
It moistened upturned faces and was caught in outstretched hands
It blew within warm winds across the marshy fen
Was whispered through the waving reeds and reached the hearts of men
This song is never ending all around the earth
The song that started long ago with our sweet Saviour's birth
POULTER'S MEASURE that is in alternating 12 then 14 syllables lines and so on
(the form always commences with a 12 syllable line)

Tell me friend I need to know
There is a song
Written long ago
It's sung by all throughout the land
So boldly, proudly
We profess a plan
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
I wonder friend
Are you heaven bound?
I was blind but now I see
Tell me friend
is your heart set free?
Accepting His Grace, this message brings
Do you know my Lord
In this song you sing?
Have you seen the wretch within your soul?
Seeking forgiveness
is that your goal?
Amazing Grace, My favorite words
For because of Grace
my hearts now pure.
Forgiven of much with no payment due
His wonderful gift
of life brand new.
So next time friend when you sing this tune
Examine your heart
Oh call on Him soon!
Sing this song in a whole new light
Forgiven by Grace
with Heaven in sight!
When I am lost
When I am weak
When my feet refuse to move
You are the One who covers my fears
You are the One who dries my tears
You are the One who lifts me up
So every time my song is sung
And every time my name is praised
Every time a battle’s won
You are the Song they sing
You are the One that’s praised
You are the Hero sung
