Best Holy Spirit Poems
Driver of Victory
Fate, destiny, and forever are evil sisters indeed.
They strive to trip and stumble, even the bravest of soldiers.
Courageous men that gather and pray,
Stronger on their knees, than giants.
A war that has no end is at hand.
The people have lost their gratefulness.
The tide of the unworthy has drowned the unwary.
Gather together and herald the King!
Celebration of Wind and Fire
Celebrate the unseen face of God’s eternal Spirit
Embracing all before creating light;
Action word of the eternal dance
Hovering over the chaotic genesis of creation;
Leading exiles out of exile through empty seas with fiery pillars
Feeding wanderers hungry for heavenly bread at dawn;
A living shadow pushing away the shadow of separation
Planting salvation’s seed deep within the sanctuary of a young girl’s yes;
Wearing the face of a dove descending on the Word
Leading anointed redemption into the empty desert place of prayer;
Driving wind and flames arriving on a festival morning
When fearful souls stood up to speak the languages of the world gathered;
Raising up a new tower of adoration reaching Heaven’s ears
Uniting with eternal words no longer babbling;
A fire, that never burns, burns through dust of days long past and now
Still hovering, descending, overshadowing, and dancing;
A sacred nudge delighting in coincidence
Filling up the thirst that gnaws for serendipity in surprises;
Inspiration birthed by the invisible hand of holy mischief
Inviting ambivalent, wavering, steps to roads of rightness in quiet whispers;
Lowering mountains, preparing highways now made straight,
For pilgrim’s feet gathering flowers in wild wastelands;
Caressing, prodding, in moments of a-ha ever evolving -
Timeless mentor of universal innovation;
Handiwork of the restless holy leaping up in wild fire
When old hearts dream dreams and young eyes see visions;
Laughing, dancing divine whimsy pirouetting through stars and galaxies
Never the same when touched by the Spirit dancing.

There are times when I barely survive
The moments of melancholy and pain
Moments when I just have to cry out
With fears that make me feel beaten
Moments when I don’t know what to say
There are only heartbroken tears flowing
All I can do when I find myself feeling this way
Is reach out to the all knowing Son of God
When I listen for His instruction to find comfort
In the knowledge that He is with me, there in my heart
Carrying me through the very best and very worst
A Savior so true that I never need to doubt
I find that harmony becomes a true friend to me
There are times when pride seems to say to me
Lift up your head and take what you’ve won
Believe in yourself for you have all you need
There isn’t anything you can’t do if you agree
That the truth can be found in your own mind
Where knowledge has grown since you were young
All I know to do when I sense this pride welling up
Within my being, where there are so many sins,
I ask God to help me to know just what to do
To overcome this enemy of all He longs to do
Inside of me, where His voice sings of truth
Where honoring Him, is the answer to all I hope
Living with humility, the good Shepherd’s gift to me
There are times when I don’t feel so generous
I only think of myself and what I need to feel better
It is during those moments when I measure my success
By the lies spoken by my enemy, the one who I despise
And, with time, God takes me through the worst
To delight me with a answer to all that I must yearn for
The helpfulness that beckons me to give of myself.
Through it all, the good, the bad, the best
I find purpose in harmony, humility and helpfulness
These three remind me that I am God’s child
Someone who lives to be used by His hand
To be a blessing to whoever I possibly can
These three, harmony, humility and helpfulness
Are gifts to me, sent from God’s Holy Spirit
Thank you, God, for giving me people to love…
Friends and family sent from heaven above.
These are the ones who make my life worthwhile,
Leave me with a smile and encourage me to try.
Thank you, God, for giving me thoughts of love…
Kind and gentle feelings that are alive in my heart.
These are the tenderness’ that cause me to hope,
Remind me that I am loved and alive on the inside.
Thank you, God, for sending me so much true love…
Feelings that surround me with gentleness and warmth.
These are the whispers of serenity that I aspire to know,
Thrilling my senses with pure hope, faith and joy of heart.
Thank you, God, for delighting me with a sure love…
Senses that I know come from the heavenly realms.
These are the inspirations that entice me to always feel,
From the depths of my heart and soul, I am fulfilled.
Thank you, God, for sharing your light and true love…
Thoughts that reassure me that I am always fully blessed.
These are the wisdoms that enrich my heart and soul,
Teach me to always know that I feel pure and honest love.
Thank you, God, for revealing to me Your sweet love…
Beliefs that sustain me through the good and the bad.
These are the joys that inspire me to give from the heart,
All that I am and all that I have… sincere, joyful thoughts.
Thank you, God, for exciting me with hopes for forever love…
That gives without any conditions and always lives inside me.
These are the views that send me to the heart of the matter,
Willing to give my very best to make another’s heart feel better.
I’m a simple sinner
Saved by God’s grace
I’m not always a winner
In the righteousness race
I’m a simple sinner
Who reaches toward the light
More like a beginner
Than one who is in a fight
I’m a simple sinner
Filled with love from above
God’s living quiver
Who knows more about love
I’m a simple sinner
One who knows I’m wrong
I don’t let it make me bitter
But pray it makes me strong
I’m a simple sinner
Alive with the living word
I’m definitely no quitter
From the Savior, I’ve heard
I’m a simple sinner
Willing to go to any lengths
In order to be a true giver
Of all that God grants me in strengths
I’m a simple sinner
Who welcomes God’s inspiration
From others I may differ
In my love for God’s creation
Dear God, I’m thankful for your love
You always give me more than I deserve
Dear God, I’m thankful for your joy
You give me all the happiness I desire
Dear God, I’m thankful for your acceptance
You make me feel like I can be my best
Dear God, I’m thankful for your wisdom
You help me to make the right choices and decisions
Dear God, I’m thankful for your warmth
You remind me that I’m filled with compassion
Dear God, I’m thankful for your generosity
You lead me to give when I wasn’t always sure
Dear God, I’m thankful for your sincerity
You let me know that I can trust you completely
Dear God, I’m thankful for your sweet mercy
You teach me that love is filled with toleration
Dear God, I’m thankful for your inspiration
You help me to know that I can make my dreams come true
Dear God, I’m thankful for your faith and hope
You reassure my heart that I can be filled with optimism
Dear God, I’m thankful for your gentle love
You remind me that I can always be fulfilled
Dear God, I’m thankful for your strength
You show me that I have what it takes
Dear God, I’m sincere when I say that I love you
You bring my heart to a place of pure benevolence
Another Day
In the morning when I wake,
I am thankful I can see.
I am grateful.
I take a survey and find,
that I hurt in many places,
some way more than others.
Age... is a hard thing to understand.
There are too many issues,
to convey and no time left to do so.
Yeah, there may be a year...
or two or ten.
But getting older has been,
an experience.
Sometimes you have to do a thing,
to truly know how it feelzzzzz...
I sit up slowly not fast,
as I get dizzy.
Not from the normal flow of blood,
but the medications that I take.
It is just part of "getting older"...
But, I don't want to believe,
that part to be...
true.
"I remember when's" come up all the time.
"I wish that the I had's", were less often.
That would always be a good thing.
If I were to tell any young person today,
about tomorrow or even yesterday,
I would tell them loudly,
strongly and with all that I had to offer,
live and never stop living.
Regret is an evil sister,
you never want to live in the house
you will always intend to call home.
Do not be a toad.
Laugh.
Ann Foster BooksbyAFoster
Not a period
maybe a comma -
Why illness,
why suffering,
why injustice -
I light a candle
for care and love
Let the light
shine
like dawn
Give us strength
and hope -
In faith and trust
Nothing is impossible
by God -
The Lord's promise -
Oh God, hear our prayer
Amen

There is power in His word
A power beyond comprehension
He strengthens hearts
And blesses souls with His fortifications
He reinforces armies
Those who know His grace
He increases the very angels
With His kindness and mercy
He is far better than we can say
He is a God that brings salvation
And gives our dreams a second chance
With His abiding love and presence
There is power in His love
A power felt by our hearts and souls
His love shines brighter than the moon and stars
Reflects more hope than even the sun
Fills my thoughts with everything good
Reminds the wise that they’re understood
Because He is wisdom beyond our perception
He is grace that provides a way for salvation
He is thanks that breathes light across the spirit
He is the One who died and was resurrected
Filling up the heart with a faith that is alive
A kindness that will survive and a praise
That colors all the world in inspiration and love
There is power in His Son
The One who came to bring us hope
And faith that is a living word
From the light of God’s one and only Son
Love that lives beyond the feeling
It is a second chance, the way, the truth
The life that is indwelling… deep within
Where we can worship Him again and again
For all the joy that He brings with Him
When He enters a heart and fills up a soul
With His Holy Spirit… His gentle love
The Hope for a heaven that will come
Because He gave up His life, was the sacrifice
For the sin that taunts and haunts
Reminds us all that we’re so unworthy
Of the One who calls us His children
The One who saves us and amazes us
With His gift of peace, love and unspeakable joy
The assurance that He is all we’ll ever need
If we simply accept Him and always believe
He is the One who came into this world
To free our souls and give us a second chance
To become the children of God
Share the place at His side
Where we’ll always reside – alive
Because He has come into this world
And survived all that we’ve done
Even death on a cross – three days in the grave
And then the resurrection, the reminder
That He is truly Love… from above!
Haiku, ABBA
dear ABBA I hum
the Holy Spirit lingers
a rest in my soul

Thanks be to God
He fills me up with compassion
He is my constant companion
I love Him because He abides
Inside my heart where he guides
He allows me to feel fully accepted
With Him, I know I’m never neglected
I love His presence always alive with me
Listening to the prayers that I do plea
He whispers to me a comforting hope
That fills my entire life with ways to cope
I love Him living where I can always question
His knowledge gives me the best suggestion
He calms my soul with His gentle voice
Giving me the wonders of a sincere choice
I love His guidance that reassures my thoughts
With Him beside me, I always think of the cross
He opens my mind to reach for my dreams
With Him, I know that I’m stronger than it seems
I love His encouragement to be who I should
He’s forever with me, teaching me all that’s good
He lights up my life with His fire from above
Sent down to instruct me on everything that is love
I love being with Him and knowing His wisdom
He always assures me that my Lord has risen
He reminds me of the reasons that I believe
His amazing faith is a joy that I can perceive
I love knowing that He will never leave me
With His hope, faith and love I am surely free
He is the Holy Spirit, the fire sent from Jesus
With His loving grace, He is who frees us
From sorrow, worry and pain that injures
With the Holy Spirit, I’m certainly a winner!

He won’t fit inside a church
He won’t fit inside a thought
He won’t fit inside a hope
Yet He fits inside a heart
He is light and He is love
He lavishes us, each one, with good
He restores us when we doubt
He reminds us we can always surmount
The enemies that seems to cloud
Our joy, our hope, our inspiration
The feelings that create in us
A grace that rains down His love
He won’t fit inside a dream
He won’t fit inside a house
He won’t fit inside a song
Yet He will fit inside the soul
He is the wonder that leads us on
The feeling of promise that teaches our hearts
The beauty and joy of knowing His love
Abides within us, where He will fulfill us
He is the kindness and the strength
That brings us beyond all the sorrow and grief
He destroys the darkest dread, despair
Reassures our hearts that we always have a prayer
He won’t fit inside a star
He won’t fit inside a cathedral
He won’t fit inside a religion
Yet, He will fit inside the spirit
He is wise and He is trustworthy
His light reflects the peace that is His
Sign – His crest – His insignia that suggests
He knows our hearts, our souls, our spirits
He tears down all the walls we’ve built
With our worries, our fears and our suspicions
He shows us how to love, unconditionally, completely
With a love that He inspires, rousing inside
The one who knows He is the answer to each prayer
The reason for our desires, our hopes, our dreams
The reason for our joy, our kindness, our faith
The reason for a love that lives throughout eternity
He won’t fit inside a mind
But He will fit inside a life!
1 Kings 8:27 (KJV) – But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
Kissing my thoughts
With a breath of hope
Whispering joy
Over heart and soul
Lifting with promises
Of kindness and peace
Inspiring the light
To caress all my dreams
Filling my mind
With faith so alive
It promises to believe
God is forever inside
Shedding the Holy Spirit
All through my life
In rays of affection
Compassion and delight
Touching my life
With a gentle sigh
Arousing the feelings
With second chances
Compelling laughter
Smiles that reach out
Beaming wonders
Felt in sincere prayers
Ensuring grace abounds
The fruit of the Spirit
Flows through the thoughts
Frees the mind
And colors the whole world
In hues of charity
So wise and so alive
Thriving on the inside
Where He always resides
Blessing hearts and lives
Capturing souls in His fight
To give the incredible gift of
Everlasting life!
Galatians 5:22-23 King James Version
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
The splendor of following Jesus
Isn’t that you get everything your way
Because you don’t – somedays are sad
Not every moment is filled with joy
There are times of discouragement,
Anxiety and worry, feelings that wash
Over you with yearnings to just quit
Let go of the hope living within and
Just live in the world, live on in sin
But there are days of pure inspiration
When God reveals His perfect exaltation
And you know that you’ve come so far
You can’t go back to that past sin or sorrow
There are reasons you must reach out
And grab onto the hem of His garment
Spread your wings and fly where He tells you
Into a life without selfish greed or jealousy
A life filled with sweet feelings of fulfillment
Feelings that He brings you to with His love
A gift sent down from above to make you see
Love this real, this wise and true and accepting
Is a love that will bring you through whatever comes
Following Jesus might not bring you a perfect life
But it will bring you perfect moments when you
Will praise Him to the utmost for giving you the chance
To say “I love you” to the creator of it all, the lamb
The prince of peace and lord of lords, the master
My reason for living and giving of whatever I have
The love that flows through me from Him, Jesus
Is a love that knows no ends or grief or discouragement
It is a love that only the Christian can know and hold
Giving it out to others in hopes that they may discover
The way, the truth, the life, this Jesus who lights up my life
Tea and Cakes
The day is full of sunshine.
The big tree is full of flowers,
pink and gold blossoms of fairy fire.
The time of the year?
Spring.. perfect, and lovely.
Come sit with me my friend.
We will laugh under the branches,
that are way up high.
We will tell jokes and even sing,
if we choose to be in the mood to do so.
We will talk about yesterday,
and pray together for tomorrow.
The day will pass,
as we count the bees,
and the ladybugs,
that come to visit...
in the tall grass.
The picnic will taste heavenly,
marmalade and scones
made of orange and rye.
The lemonade goes down with ease.
There is comfort... there is peace...
we are spending time, well spent,
on a dime's worth of moments,
strung together to create a memory
we will both share forever.
Pass me a plate,
and the beautiful cake,
made from fate,
and seasoned with destiny.
I am happy, you are here.
