Best Galilee Poems

There are things I won’t forget about my past.
Lessons, many strewn throughout my heart and soul.
Endless tears sometimes bleed, feel they’ll ever last.
Those tears pass by, and I know they’ve made me whole.
I’ve been blessed to know God wouldn’t leave me downcast.
His love and grace,...

Like a tempest churning upward
on seething pinnacles of wind,
like a twisting, whirling violence
that is too cruel to comprehend;
thus the conflict of our nature
intensifies within the breast,
agitating all distortion
as it obliterates all rest.

Like waves, loud and wildly clashing,
tormenting both the sea and shore,
like the mouth of...

was the sea in awe
as the Creator’s feet walked
on its weathered waves

T'was there in the twilight I heard my dear Lord
He's calling, yes calling to me
He bids me come close and to sit by His side
This Teacher from Old Galilee

His voice is so gentle, his eyes are so kind
Then He motions again to sit near
Please tell...

Galilee to Golgotha

He came as a Babe in a lowly manger
In Bethlehem from Galilee
Annals of time had prophesied
Messiah would come to set man free

Not through the realms of royalty
But by meager and modest means
Free from pollution of humanity
Untainted by mankind's genes

As a youth, He marveled...

I walked one day where Jesus trod
In a village along the shore
I stood upon a sloping hill 
Where he preached to five thousand or more

I ventured out onto the sea
Where Peter and John plied their trade
With mine own eyes I saw the place
Where Jesus taught...

There was a Wedding in Cana Galilee
Jesus was there
The Mother of Jesus was there
The Disciples were also invited

The wine ran short
His mother said “They ran out of wine”
Jesus said to her
“Woman, how does your concern affect me?”

My hour has not come
His mother said to the...

the crowd amassed ‘round —
HE gave orders to cast off
who would follow HIM?

“wherever YOU go,”
a scribe attempts to follow
HIM into the boat

regrettably quick —
for the SON OF MAN’s homeless
and now rocks the boat

overhearing, one
decides he must go bury
— he stalls the SAVIOR

the writer pauses
‘would she...

The mirror of the Sea of Galilee 
reflects the contour of the aspen tree.
Nobody’s hung yet, nobody’s betrayed.
Oh, how you love the play of light and shade,
a dace’s quick stroke on the water face,
a shining brilliance of the green ace
of aspen leaf washed by a...

night had begun to beseech 
thy wretchedness covered 
deeply amidst toiling postures 
craving naught gently i'd withered 

throughout the infamous 
meanings according to mark 
while i'd entered a certain realm 
surrounded by lost pebbles 

underneath st anthony's 
weathered sandals 
we are but martyrs 
wailed from...

what love gather these
young stars above
in sacred harmony
the swift beat of the snare drum or
the warm heart of Galileo Galilee...

ships and sails
are lost at sea
the ocean
begins to swell
we search for
the light and
arms embrace of
ancient Galilee...

Were the Men of Galilee

we started to see
were the men of Galilee
looking towards heaven

they did pray in room
while flowers started to bloom
removing all gloom

Acts: 1: 6-14.

Wind that whispers against
The bright sails, 
Toward this Sea of Galilee...
