Best Jesus Christ Poems
Life ground to a halt
living down a dead end street
where there's no sunlight
and shadows of doubt linger...
Till your love blew them away.

Imagine a world
Where silence fills the void,
Sighing so its heard,
A voice raining kindness.
Imagine a life
Where joy is alive inside
The ones who know strife
Will be erased by serenity’s smiling
Imagine a dream
Where God is at the center
Giving inspiration to redeem,
Filling the heart with generosity
And peace!
Imagine a heart
Who listens to the hope
Echoes wonders so amazing,
Embracing the sound of a prayerful
Whisper, breaking apart….
The darkness, the hurt, the doubt
So that there is not even one cloud
To dim the joy, the awesome shout
From the soul who feels this love, so real
Wiping away every tear, bringing out
The answer to every fear…
Just imagine what it means to believe
That God, in all His glory…
Came to this world to relieve every
Spirit of the burden it carries,
The endless need for forgiveness…
IMAGINE – grace that can save the soul
From the shadows of past sins,
Mending with a love that makes us whole
So we know what it is to believe
In the wonder that is reality, the goal
Is to imagine with the faith to know…
This is a faith that will forever console,
Bringing peace that is beyond description…
Imagine a world…
Where love is given unconditionally
With a heart that knows that God
In all His glory, will come back for His church,
The church built from the people…
Who believe in His love, His grace, His light…
Never letting go of the faith that brings
Peace beyond comprehension, peace that lives
At the center of the believing that reassures
Every soul that knows – Jesus is alive
He is the love who cannot die!
Imagine a world…
Who takes the time, this Easter,
To remember His sacrifice
And the glory that shines so bright
From the heart who believes
He is ALIVE,… and we can know
The love that we imagine – exists inside
Those who believe in His resurrection.
This Easter, I’m so thankful I’m forgiven
By a love that is still alive and giving
Light to the darkness, joy to the desolate
Faith to the unfaithful and peace to the hectic.
This Easter, I know that I’m so very blessed!

Sin is a disease that destroys from
The darkness where it lingers
Always taunting us in the shadows
Of bitterness and dread, sinister
And haunting, calling out to the soul
For just a little more of its hope
Until all hope has been lost
And even faith and love are gone
Sin is ugly and angry and hateful
It prides itself on taking away
All the light that caresses a life
And stealing even the memories
Of laughter and joy, fulfillment
Found in colors of love breathing
Through a heart, whispering gently
Truth, inspiration and contentment
Sin is black and murky, obscuring itself
In the silhouettes of revulsion, disgust
That clings to the underbelly of evil
Thrusting its tentacles into corruption
Pleading with wickedness to continue
Producing sorrow and pain and regret
Remorse that remembers only the hues
Of somber gray that left a heart in fear
Sin is furious when it’s discovered
And called upon to make itself known
To become a sin that is manifested
And adorned with the sacred blood
From the One who died to cleanse
Free the slave from the sinning
And release the captive with forgiveness
Absolution, pardon, clemency
Bought and paid for by the Son
Who died on calvary and rose up again
On the third day… to finally say
Our sin is under the blood
Forgiven, we can seek God’s approval
Shun the darkness and begin again
To live in the light, where we can be seen
As a child of God, beloved and covered
By grace that has given us all the chance
To live for Jesus and enter heaven’s sanctuary
Eternally blessed – a child of the best
God’s grace is sufficient to save our souls
Allowing His love to make us whole
Ephesians 2:8-9
King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Stars have never told a lie when wise men look unto the sky.
Messages from God on high, of happiness his angels cry,
Soon dawns a blessed morn.
Wise men travel through a land
with stately camels over sand,
Their caravan majestically grand
When Jesus Christ was born.
Shepherds watching over sheep, baby lambs they safely keep.
Some of them were fast asleep on a mountain rough and steep,
Soon dawns a blessed morn.
An Angel to these men appear
Saying they should have no fear
For the Christ child is now near,
When Jesus Christ was born.
To Bethlehem they journey long, Joseph with his love so strong,
Mary with child had done no wrong; the baby did to God belong
Soon dawns a blessed morn.
This baby comes to save from sin
No rooms were found in any Inn
A stables all they found for him
When Jesus Christ was born.
A star shone brightly overhead, lighting up this humble shed,
A lowly manger for his bed, the joyful news had quickly spread
When dawned that blessed morn.
Here wise men came and gifts did bring
Shepherds bowed to their new King
Mankind rejoices while angels sing
When Jesus Christ was born.

To the tune of "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town"
You better look up,
prepare for His sight.
The Lord will come back
some day or some night.
Jesus Christ Is Coming Back Down.
He's making a list.
He's paid the great price.
Who's going in route
to His paradise?
Jesus Christ Is Coming Back Down.
He sees you when you're breathing.
He knows you need His grace.
He knows that we have all been bad,
but He died to take our place.
With bright Seraphim and bright Cherubim,
Trumpy trumpets, and drummy drum drums,
Jesus Christ Is Coming Back Down.
He sees you when you're weeping.
He offers His embrace.
He knows you like nobody else,
yet He loves you anyway.
You better not doubt.
You wanna know why?
Your life could end soon.
There's no second try.
Jesus Christ Is Coming Back Down

Jesus Christ, is the only way........
Jesus, without you I am nothing in this world
nor without your love, I will have no strength in my soul
Jesus, you do not want me to live eternally in hell
nor take wrong path to end my life in deep well
Jesus, my path will not be cleared without your foot steps
nor I can reach the heaven without your command
Jesus, worthy places can not be found without your light
nor worship places can not be found without your precepts
Jesus, knowledge can not be wasted in your kingdom of wisdom
nor your guidance can not be stopped within limits
Jesus, you have died on the cross to save my soul
and want to wash away my sins to make me perfect.
Jesus, my savior thank you for being there at all times
and blessing me in many ways.
Jesus, give me more strength to live with your words
that always ennoble me.
Because, this is the only way I can reach you

There are times, awkward
Moments when I question my own feelings
My ideas, thoughts, beliefs
The way I have been directed and the
Way I have lived
There are times, difficult
Moments when I don’t know the answers
My theories, contemplations, hopes
The memories that have given me promises
Of the light that I seek
The wonder felt in a dream
Beckoning me, protecting me, telling me
All that I have lived for – my faith
Is like a raindrop or a embrace
Not long and I’ll know His touch
The breath of His love
Against my naked spirit
The kindness that will lift me
Through every worry and temptation
There are times, tricky
Moments when I fail to feel sure, certainty
Colors me ambiguous and I wake to
A world of dark, dreary death
Blackness surrounding my silent wish
For purity, praise, prayer – promises of
The everlasting grace – hope and glory
Songs to enchant and embrace
Longings rich and vibrant, whole
Like a hallelujah
Sung breathlessly, with
Anticipation of holy help
There are times, obstinate
When I’m insecure
It is then that faith reminds me
Jesus is alive, a light
Living inside me, enlightening
Delighting, heartening
He only desires my trust
In His intimate, vibrant
Everlasting Love
I believe He is alive
A burning fire
Living inside
Where I only desire
To be like Him
I’m His child
And I am not an only child
Religion meets spirituality
On the edge of His brilliance
Embrace Jesus and live
On the caress of His spirit

His sun falls across my bare shoulders
Seeking a tender thought
Breathing light along the hopes
That gentle my mind and my heart
His moon pours a wispy affection
Across the music of my soul
Coloring me in hues of acceptance
Simple joy to my sight
His stars reflect all the shimmer
Beyond the seas and waves
Where azure laughter sinks deeper
Than the silence that fascinates
His voice caresses my spirit
With faith flowing in my veins
Creating crimson whispers
Bright as the fire’s flames
His vision keeps me focused
On kindness that soothes and sustains
Capturing the dreams of forever
Inside the blazing firefly dance
His grace cascades like a waterfall
Gushing with gladness and peace
Arousing soft feelings of pleasure
Grown famous by the unending mercy
His inspiration nourishes my soul
In angel’s hymns that raise my thoughts
Of joy, peace and sacred prayers
Sweet sighs of faith painting warm praises
His light guides me through the storms
Lifting the shadows that might harm
Giving my mind a chance to grow strong
With the rays of love falling from His spirit
His is a love that knows no bounds
He sends it down from the highest heavens
Illuminating and reflecting all the joy
Caught up in the soul who knows His worth
His is a grace that appeals to the senses
Guides hearts from the worst
And reveals the truth about giving unconditionally
From a heart who knows that love is the greatest gift
Lift your eyes to the highest stars
See the moon, the glow of heaven’s hope
Whispering insight through your thoughts
And know that love is alive on the inside
Christ, the Lord of all tomorrows
Lived a holy life of true worth
Died for me, the Man of sorrows
Angels proclaimed His virgin birth
The wise men came in faith to see
Messiah, king of all the earth
His love was shown on Calvary
When He paid the penance for sin
He cried and died for you and me
This woebegone world we live in
We need His all-sufficient grace
The wiles of the devil to win
The hope of His return we face
Giving us joy none can replace.

For Regina McIntosh's "Jesus" contest
I'm a child of God,
An ambassador for Jesus Christ.
To pay for my sins He did die,
And the third day He did rise.
So that's why I live,
To proclaim His name.
He loves to forgive.
He never changes, He's always the same.
What can I render to Him for all His benefits towards me.
He changed my Eternal destiny.
Now I have an anchor in my soul.
I'm a friend of God's and not of the world.
Sanctified and consecrated, set apart for Jesus Christ.
I will meet Him when on my deathbed I lie.
I will keep proclaiming that Jesus Christ is God till my death.
Coz He's the One responsible for my every breath.
Jesus Christ Has the Power Over Any Addiction!
I often hear of people who battle addictions.
This often leaves many scars and afflictions.
There's counselors to help, "a dime a dozen."
Their patient could be a friend or a cousin.
As many battle lives filled with "pollution."
But too often, God is left out of the solution.
Many who need help are given little help at best.
Why they cope with fear, anxiety and stress.
The one who can help the most, is often left out.
As many miss what the real hope of life is about!
The very God who created mankind, knows all about us!
He sent his son Jesus, because he loves us!
We can trust him for his cleansing power!
He can meet every need! This very hour!
If you're battling an addiction and are losing!
Won't you let God be the one that you're choosing?
He’s powerful! And wants to help you so much!
Your life can be forever changed! By his touch!
Come one and all! Your needs, God shall supply!
Come and drink of his water which shall satisfy!
The sins and scars can be a thing of the past!
As you enjoy an abundant life, that'll always last!
The painful addictions can be healed this moment!
By the power and resurrection of Christ' atonement!
NOW can be time to lay your worries beneath him!
God shall restore those who diligently seek him!
Glory to Jesus! The victory's already been won!
All honor and praise to God's anointed one!

Jesus Christ Be Praised
By Roy Merritt
He went to see the queen of Spain told her the world was round
That he could get to the east going west that’s what he had found
He told her if he sailed the Atlantic kept going that way
He could find the wondrous Orient could even find Cathay
Then they wouldn’t have to go east down that long Silk Road
And worry about the Muhammadans or bandits as they go
And so after several tries they finally gave in agreed
And gave him the money for three ships whatever else he’d need
And so on August 3 he set sail pushing out to sea
With three ships the Nina, Pinta and the Santa Marie
And so after many tribulations pushing along with the wind
On Oct. 12 they spotted land their journey at its end
They landed in Hispaniola the natives sorely amazed
They’d never seen such a sight in all their many days
They treated the strangers kindly treated them just like kings
Treated them with human kindness amazed by many things
So Columbus returned to Spain told them of many treasures
This land could provide of many great pleasures
But by his third visit there he'd inspired much hate
The natives wanted to kill him they by now irate
He’d turned them to bondage to work as a slave
Claiming to make them Christian, Christian to be saved
This be the way the true Christian word
To enslave a man in bondage which certainly be absurd
Oh yes this be the religion Jesus Christ inspired
The one and only true religion soon to spread like fire
And at last it made to Europe continent of the white man
Who declared an intention to spread it to every land
And so off they went conquering Jesus Christ be praised
At the same time enriching himself turning men to slaves
Turning men to slaves turning them into beasts
Jesus Christ be praised Jesus Christ GIVE FEAST!
I
They are scarred, barely able to write a letter
But her hands have helped make us humans better
II
I prayed from afar, chasing a revolution, another falling star
She sacrificed by nursing the aged. A Sister? Friend? Daughter?
III
In the winter of my life, I cannot see with these eyes
I won't see her hands - I know they are scarred prayers in disguise
IV
Jesus still heals ... Is it His will to heal my eyes, my future, me?
Viola! I pray my Savior heals her hands (My greatest testimony).
Jesus Christ our savior is the Ultimate Boss, He Loved us so much that he was Crucified on the Cross.
Those who believe in him are the ultimate Winners,
He gave his life to forgive us Sinners.
Jesus Reigns from heaven Above, He is looking down on us with all of his Love
So when we celebrate this Easter season, let us rejoice in Jesus Christ Our Savior is the reason
From My Family To Yours Have A Bless & Joyful Easter
