Best Isaiah Poems
One of my favorite bible verses..
For you shall go out with joy,
and be lead forth with peace,
the mountains and the hills,
shall break forth before you,
into singing,
and all the trees of the field
shall clap their hands.
God has revealed Himself to be
the Lord of glory, gracious and great
for He created His very heavens
where all His own will come for their date
A date chosen before eternity
when His faithful ones He will draw
the earth God has formed from not
establishing it makes one stand in awe
God's purpose for this earth He made
was not to leave it full of nothing
this is God who reigns from all eternity
for the Lord's plans always has meaning
His plans and purposes are without error
for in it's formation He left man a space
all along God's design included humanity
knew they would need a touch by grace
I am the Lord and there is no other
standing high above all His creation
sovereign in control never to fall
one day will make up His own nation
('For thus says the Lord,
who created the heavens
(he is God!),
who formed the earth and made it
(he established it;
he did not create it empty,
he formed it to be inhabited!):
“I am the Lord, and there is no other.')
Isaiah 45: 18 (ESV)
I believe I am born again...
There is nothing extraordinary,
just an uncle's old ramshackle house
with the only difference being
it is on an island in the middle of a lake
where I camped and fished as a boy
It is a small lake, full of brim and bass
The island is very tiny...
A usual gathering of friends and family
Normal everyday conversation
A cousin gets up for a drink and a snack
(Yes, yes of course he does!)
People talking and joking in the kitchen
Not important the general subject
or even who they are; it does not apply
I am there strictly to listen and observe
with senses amplified ad-infinity...
Flash. I am outside
I notice colors, shapes and sounds
thousands of times more vivid and sharp
though numbers no longer exist because
there is nothing to count or measure;
no clocks ticking to keep time
because there is no time to keep
No future, no past, only the Now
Only the perfect and eternal Present...
Flash. I am on the opposite bank
Fish hover, dart and fly in crystal waters
yet it is not water and they are not fish
Birds that are not birds swim in rippled air
The earth I stand on is no longer earth
nor is anything or anyone else
because nothing has a name...
Flash. It seems
good and evil and all in between are no more
because there is no thought or opinion
Every action, movement, voice and word
makes pure and absolute sense
and my immortal mind simply sucks it all in
but is never filled...
Isaiah is this the prophecy
Is this a glimpse of that realm;
that realm where the wolf dwells with the lamb
where the child plays at the pit of the viper
The child, the child....who is that child
that little child who shall lead them?
That chosen child, is this that child
that child of...
Oh Isaiah, Isaiah
I believe I am born again
*Revelation Chapter 20, Isaiah Chapter 11: 6-9
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee;
and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:
when thou walkest through the fire, thee shall not burn;
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:2.
I found this gospel verse in the hospital chapel one day,
Just wandering the halls, weak but alive and pondering;
From my coma, dreams had come drifting, confusing me,
But the message was clear, I still had things to do.
Sitting in the flickering candlelight of the silent chapel,
I picked up the bible and opened it without any thought;
My eyes fell to," when thou passest through the waters,
I will be with thee;" And my heart was filled with love.
At that moment I knew the LORD had been with me,
He had protected me and that is the reason I survived;
This verse, Isaiah 43:2 is my favorite gospel verse,
When I am feeling low, this is where I go for comfort.
It gave me such hope that I was never alone to struggle,
No river would overflow me, no fire burn me, nor a flame;
Yes, I would survive this illness and I would go on to write,
To write my dreams and dreams, until my last breath.

Third Place
The prophet Isaiah foretold
Jesus or Father Christ would be born of a virgin.
Lift up your voice and shout it out,
Declare my people’s sin.
Tell Israel her doom is near;
Soon judgment shall begin.
You think that I will see your works,
I see the heart instead.
In arrogant self-righteousness
Its offerings are dead.
But this is what I choose for you:
To comfort those distressed,
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
And free all those oppressed.
Give them your hands; give me your heart,
Sincere in all you do.
Then you shall take delight in me
And I delight in you.
The poor and needy search for water,
but there is none;
their tongues are partched with thirst
but I the Lord will answer them;
I, the God of Isreal, will not forsake them.
I will make rivers flow on barren heights,
and springs within the valleys,
Iwill turn the desert in to pools of water,
and the parched ground into springs.
I will put in the desert
the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive.
I will set pines in the wasteland,
the fir and the cypress togeather,
so the people may see and know,
may consider and understand
that the hand of the Lord has done this,
and the Holy one of Isreal has created it.
A button nose and big brown eyes
turned to Grandma in surprise.
Now a giggle or maybe a sigh,
he's a big boy now, he won't cry.
Ten wonderful years have flown away
wish my grandson could always stay.
But then it might not be as much fun,
our time wouldn't be such a special one.
This year for the first time he took the train
for a visit too short, then he was gone again.
But in my heart he's always near
just like his Dad, right in here.

"Inside The Heart" contest ---------------
This is the servant of the Lord God
with no attraction to make an appeal
He suffered, was rejected and despised
full of sorrows this man wasn't the real deal
He was crushed for all our iniquities
every one of them did He truly atone
pierced for our transgressions was He
punished for our peace He left all alone
The iniquities of us all He took on Himself
for He kept quiet led as a slaughtered lamb
never opened His mouth not even once
His father's will to do nailed His palm
This servant will indeed justify many
after suffering as our sin offering
He will see lifes light of satisfaction
then make intercession for His own ring
This picture paints of Jesus the saviour
who died as the paschal lamb for sin
His very own elect people died He for
our iniquities He took so we could enter in
That day is so wonderfully true
it's a time of thanksgiving and praise
for God's anger has been turned away
so to bring comfort scripture says
Confess aloud God is my salvation
having now and to trust and not fear
knowing the Lord forever my anchor
my road to heaven He shall steer
Bow in worship to the Lord God
for the Lord is my strength and song
and more importantly, is my salvation
in Christ alone is who I do belong
Salvation pours out an inner joy
making me cry on the Lord's name
tell of all His wonderful works
among all the people glory is His aim
Learn to sing praises through all the earth
telling of God's glory, for which I long
zion's children shout with a loud voice
the Lord is my strength and my song
(The Lord Is My Strength and My Song)
1 "You will say in that day:
“I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
that you might comfort me.
2 “Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.”
3 With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 And you will say in that day:
“Give thanks to the Lord,
call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim that his name is exalted.
5 “Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously;
let this be made known in all the earth.
6 Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
for great in your[e] midst is the Holy One of Israel.”
Isaiah 12: 1-6 (ESV)
LOVE OF ISAIAH
Don't be down trodden for you are of great worth
Isaiah 43:4
Don't be down trodden for you are of great worth
For in the eyes that the Father has given me
It is of no surprise the third eye looks straight at the heart
And into the eyes of the Father
For in the eyes that the Father has given me
Beautiful son, beautiful daughter
And into the eyes of the Father
You are honored and I love you
Beautiful son, beautiful daughter
It is of no surprise the third eye looks straight at the heart
You are honored and I love you
Don't be down trodden for you are of great worth

Astonished!!!
Amid the perplexity of it all....
This surreal moment of how and, why???
As history stood poised to repeat itself
Standing once more at the thresholds
Dawning, of a different day of light....

"The Book of Isaiah" ~
Note: Smile ~ I came not to taunt! I have no
desire to cause pain, within any light! But those
whom have ears to hear & eyes to see, He said,
then let it be...."Psalm 103, 'Love,' John!":) ~
Fear is an awful frightening thing
but God says fear thou not!
the Lord God's then gives a reason
I am with thee this assuredly you've got
So then there's no reason to be sad
for God says do not be dismayed
I have declared I am your God
so personal this promise will never fade
God then says I will strengthen you
His strength is able to do anything
for He's able to even to raise the dead
showing that He's the Lord our king
The Lord speaks of showing His care
comfortingly I will help you yea I will
what better offer can one receive
so be at peace in Christ and be still
Now God says He will uphold you
with the right hand of His righteousness
God's righteousness is pure and perfect
for it's covered by His faithfulness
These are the I wills of God
certain promises eternally sure
so you're able to bank your life upon
fully true so will certainly endure
(Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.)
Isaiah 41:10
Everyone’s heard of the waiting game
how we don’t get what we want now
impatience is something we all suffer
we find it so hard at times but how?
There is within us a lack of contentment
an unwillingness to be still and wait
lying deep in our being is real unbelief
thinking it won’t happen no matter the date
God has declared in His holy scriptures
blessed are all they that wait on Him
for when God comes and proves Himself
filling our vessels right up to the brim
When we receive the fullness of God
we look back to think why we did complain
for God’s waiting time is always worth it
His timing’s perfect like cool refreshing rain
(‘Blessed are all they that wait on Him’ Isaiah 30: 18b)
The prophet Isaiah in times of old
Inspired by the spirit a birth foretold
About a child who for us would be born
A son, a gift to humankind forlorn
The weight of the world His shoulders would bear
His power and command He would not share
As was expected He would gain great fame
And would acquire a memorable name
While others offer thoughts that might entice
He is a counselor with sound advice
When we’re dismayed He listens to our strife
Then speaks to our hearts with truth that brings life
He’s a Mighty God with abiding strength
Who rules the world, in height, in breadth, and length
By divine will He came in submission
To save from sin, His heavenly mission
He was when time began, thus fraternal
In Him time never ends, thus eternal
A loving God in whom we feel secure
Through faith in Him, in heaven we’ll endure
Though in times of turmoil our eyes lose scope
In His kingdom He sustains us with hope
His governance will forever increase
Of the universe He is Prince of Peace
