Best Righteousness Poems

Becoming righteous is a high ask
who indeed can claim this real prize
for God declares all as sinners
so need God to give you rise

Being able to achieve righteous deeds
won't bring a righteousness divine
for deeds can't make you such
only God can show you His sign

God is the...

True, Moses wrote of righteousness, one based upon the law.
But Paul proffered an alternate, eschewed the tragic flaw.
Salvation based on works alone: a concept misapplied.
For all, not most, have fallen short; to live thus was to die.

The argument that he put forth: the wage of...

Why hate? 
Why be vindictive?
Why spread malicious gossip?
Why does the soul have to be black?
Why not choose to be white and pure?
Why not love?
Why not have peace?
Is all the” Whys” that important that it improves your lives?
That all the “Whys” hurt so many spiritual, physical,...

Your Master’s righteous cloak is not
a bold retreat from evil’s plot.
In peaceful times and in discord,
You shall know that I am the Lord.

In busyness or when you’re bored,
in argument or in accord,
in health or in a hospice ward --
You shall know that I am the...

Jehovah is our righteousness
the Lord Himself is He
creator of all things existing
died for our sins on a tree

This one is all righteous
totally and fully in every way
pure unspotted from the world
our salvation He did pay

Righteousness describes our Lord
completely in His righteous shield
protecting us from the...

Love is a wonder
shared by one another
it's the only reason
I'm not six feet under
Love in which I believe
in a will to sustain
I give back to life, now
in dormant states of pain

The power of Love
may not alone be enough
locked inside my dreams
escape only from above
higher than...

(Just who are the most self-righteous people on earth?)

When God created Adam and designed the fall,
 To reveal Christ's glorious salvation call.
 Self-righteousness, then came into play,
 To plague mankind in a wicked way.

 Sadly, by nature we tend to be,
 Righteous in our own...

He was in a life where he was always at odds cause he didn't know he's the righteousness of God. He was living the life of a straight up thug, fast women and guns, drinking and drugs and it all started when he was a...

There’s so much wickedness and evil that abounds.
Where in this world can the righteous be found?

On account of a righteousness man, this world was saved.
Because of Noah following God, a way of safety was “paved.”

On account of Lot’s righteousness, his family was spared
Because of Abrahams...

What is wrong with our ailing society-
We chase after dreams like a proverbial butterfly 
That does not know how to fly straight
Only to be caught in a net as lunch for a spider

Is it only through heartache we become wiser
Or bitter
Surely our left hand should...

The Hypocrite


The Doubter hides behind religious guise,
Mistakes the raven for the pigeon in darkened skies.
His words beguile, twisting my skeletal fancy into a deceitful smile,
Espousing, “Darkness must be exposed by light”, all the while.
Release the Red Death Demon; give him an awful fright,
His impious shield...

This poem was inspired by Gershon Wolf’s poem
If God is Holy, then What of Me.
Only the Holy
Only the Holy speak to God on High
Only the Holy seek the reason why 
He knows every heartache we each plod through 
In prayer God will wing solace to...

3 vignettes in rondelet form

Salvation’s walls
provide unseen security.
Salvation’s walls
appear as God’s own glory falls
on believers like you and me.
Open the gates of faith and see
salvation’s walls.

Salvation’s robe
covers us with God’s righteousness.
Salvation’s robe
worn by staunch servants who like Job
face trials of extreme distress.
With patience bare your...

Assured in her beliefs,
My Grandma knew the score:
Not many folk would get to Heaven;
The following would be ignored.

A black man, Jew, Italian,
Catholic, Greek, or Slav,
Misguided Presbyterian, 
Adolescent plotting Love.

The Poor, because they should have saved,
The Rich who had too much,
The Drunkard for his need,
The Cripple...
