Best Gospel Truth Poems
I don't believe in the way things were.
I used to sit back and commend others for doing what I couldn't.
(it turns out, it was only what i wouldn't)
Every hand I extend in kindness is another step I long to take
And every note I sow, I swear it's because I know nothing else
Teach me shoulder-less love
Find me hope in the darkest hotels
Kill my distaste for
SOMETHING SO MUCH MORE!
I won't come back home
You don't need this throne
Fill my heart, I'm forlorn
Keep me out of this haze
Grace from remorse, let's turn this into a style
I'm alone in the next room
WAITING FOR THE NEXT GROOM
(the devil at the alter, the coffin in the courtyard)
This is what the local examiner preaches
Lynchings, or killing someone by hanging, historically were mostly used by whites against black men in the South beginning in the late 19th century, according to the NAACP.
Below my reply in comment
How they twist words to suit narrative, lynch mobs were a common practice in Ireland and many countries all over the world, so selectively do you promote division black or white this article is racist bias in content promoting hate
Liberal has a new agenda when it comes to the truth being told
for what value it holds someone has to correct fools
lynching is as old as warfare itself virtually
Welcome ye, who come to worship
And to recognize His Lordship
He spilled His blood for us to cleanse
And to provide our recompense
The futile grave gave up her dead
It was just as the prophets said
He arose when three days passed
Emmanuel had come at last
With grateful hearts we recall, thus
Now, Lord, please bless and forgive us
Inspired by Brian Strand's contest, An Easter Epistle.
In a perfect world
there would be no war
no disease and no pain
in a perfect world there would be nothing that would make
us feel like the worlds gone insane
in a perfect world we would be free
in a perfect world for you and me
there is no perfect world since the fall of man
a lesson we have all learned
but everything will be perfect when Jesus has returned
on his arrival things will be as they should be
in a perfect place with him both you and me
The Gospel Truth
© Ben Burton 11-23-2014
It never lasts forever
Not upon this earth we share
A wife or husband leaves us
It's so hard to shake despair
Religion makes us hopeful
But that's still a world away
We'd like a quick solution
To propel us through those days
That once had special meaning
Celebrating Christmastime
For now, it's a reminder
Of the pain we've stored inside
Perhaps a pet will comfort
And new hobbies can distract
Or visiting the places
We would go if they were back
Awakening the memories
Of the many joys we shared
Will honor those who left us
And surcease their own despair
For if you think about it
Had you been the first to go
Your rest could not be peaceful
If your love was suff'ring so
To serve a dual purpose
Never leave your past behind
But savor what is left you
And let nothing cloud your sky
Sure, it's "what they would have wanted"
An expression often used
And there's a reason for it
Frankly, it's the Gospel truth
untended urgency
unequipped for service
ungirded for battle
utterly regretful
unattainable prize
unretrievable loss
unquenchable laments
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?
James 2:3 KJV

This is a Rondine in pentameter
Never say never my darling Betty.
I think past sweet words have been a good start
and know they’re ingress to a woman’s heart
Would you like to rest on this soft settee,
there is no danger its firm and steady.
Gospel truth, in pantsuit you look so smart.
Never say never.
I saw you, dear, at Tavern Gramercy.
In Effie Silk Dress you were piece of art,
I could have torn your lucky date apart.
The Maitre d' had your table ready
Never say never.
War thou comrades
Neo liberalism will die
Wifi try defy the lie
I own the sky i testify
while you all die
For me there's only just one faith,
Christ him Crucified,
For in God's Son, all victory won,
The day my saviour died.
Tithes and offering
Are acid test to all men
Blessing truly seen.
Decisions
Haiku: by Tom
12/28/2020
Today’s decisions,
determine eternity,
for our later life.
We're all one in Him,
In spirit and in truth,
With faith not a shame.
Power of this world:
Lust of flesh, lust of eyes and
Pride of life all passed.
[Verse]
Hello my friend, I know you don't know me
but I have something I'd like to share with you.
Does it feel like the end,
somedays are you lonely
as if no one understands
or cares to.
Do you cry in the night
when the darkness hides your tears?
Do you say you're alright
even though you're broken and full of fear?
I know because I've been there
Oh oh i know that weight you cannot bear
Oh oh oh I know! I know!
And I know the way to get through,
oh oh yes I do!
[chorus]
His name is Jesus! His name is Lord of light
He is the way, he is the truth and the life
And he wants to meet you right now,
no matter if you've fallen so far.
No need to try change yourself
he wants you just as you are
Don't stop to wash the dirt clean,
don't wait until your what they seem,
to think you ought to be.
God sees the real you
that nobody else sees.
He wants someone just exactly like you…and just like me.
[verse]
So now my friend you know you are loved
just for being you
Now it's time to let Him know
if you love him too
Do you know how it feels
to be set free from sin and shame?
DID you know you were made new
just by calling out his name?
Through Jesus you are worthy
Now go and share your story
Oh oh share what you've been through
oh oh oh tell them you know the one,
Oh oh yes you do!
[chorus]
His name is Jesus! His name is Lord of light
He is the way, he is the truth and the life
And he wants to meet you right now,
no matter if you've fallen so far.
No need to try change yourself
he wants you just as you are
Don't stop to wash the dirt clean,
don't wait until your what they seem,
to think you ought to be.
God sees the real you that nobody else sees. He wants someone just exactly like you
and just like me.
Poetry transformed
Vibrated through
microphones
Ladies don't
give away your moans
freely
Entice with your eyes
come back
In nine months
full of surprise.
Nothing could be better
than creating another you
You and I, the gospel truth.
If you don't mind
I'd like to preach
about it
for an hour or two
While your
eyes unfold
the greatest gift
my ears have ever heard
