Best Salvation Poems
Jesus gives me directions
To love as He has loved
With a sincere compassion
That knows no conditions
This love of His has no limits
It goes beyond worry and strife
It fills the heart with a joy…
That can only be expressed in rebirth
This love of His has a purpose
To give generously, without constraint
With a true sensitivity to the feelings…
That someone else has felt
This love of His has been given
To bring salvation to the sinner
Reaching into a wretched heart…
And bringing about a complete surrender
This love of His holds the answers
To every question we might ask,
Creates a sense of peace on the inside
That could never compare to another serenity
This love of His sends us promises
That our greatest fears will be overcome
By the assurance that no harm can arise…
For those who trust in God’s only Son
This love of His mends what is broken
Whether it be a heart or a spiritual pain
It restores the one who feels shattered…
With a promise of true hope and faith
This love of His succeeds where nothing else can
Pleading victory from these nail scarred hands
Reaching down to the poorest, lost sinner
And giving a new life, a new way, a second chance.
This love of His is worth more than millions
No amount of money can possibly buy it
Through grace, it is eternal salvation sent to us
Who simply have the faith to accept Him
In a Nutshell
The Son of God our Savior;
A human form He took;
Twas prophesied in days of old;
It's written in His book.
Blood ran on the whipping post,
That my sickness may be healed.
The story has been often told.
It's in His book revealed.
They nailed Him to a rugged Cross;
I know that Jesus died.
In awful pain and torment,
My Lord was crucified.
After He died they took Him down;
Our sacrifice for sin,
And placed Him in a borrowed tomb,
But then He rose again.
In three short days He rose again;
Up from His narrow cell.
Victor for all the human race.
He conquered Death and Hell.
To grasp this matchless treasure,
I have but to believe;
And open up my heart to God,
His Promise to receive.
In the clouds of Heaven,
Oh, Glory to his name.
I plan to meet Him in the air;
When my Lord comes again.
Then I'll dance the streets of Heaven,
With Peter,James and Paul;
Eternally safe in Jesus care.,
Jehovah, The God of all.
Jesus walked up that hill to Calvary
Freeing a sin filled world from slavery
To evil that was caused by God’s enemy
A fallen angel who was filled with jealousy
Because he knew God was the mighty one
Who shaped all of creation before He was done
Thank God I’m saved
I’m thankful for the road He paved
Thank God I’m free
I want to thank the One who died for me
Jesus rose from the dead on the third day
And He’s living today despite what they say
He is with the Father, our creator, the fearsome One
Who sent His Son into the world not to be outdone
But to deliver us all from the plans of His enemy
To the nail scarred hands of Him who is our destiny
Thank God I’m saved
I’m thankful for the road He paved
Thank God I’m free
I want to thank the One who died for me
Jesus sent down the Holy Spirit to live inside
The true believer who allows Him to be their guide
He works through the faithful to reach others
Who need to take His gift and be our brothers
He lifts the broken, heals the hurting and reminds
That He has the answers to prayer that unbinds
Thank God I’m saved
I’m thankful for the road He paved
Thank God I’m free
I want to thank the One who died for me
Our Jesus is condemned to die
Oh, Savior, now from Earth- you part.
You do not sigh, nor do you weep,
Though our sins have pierced your heart.
Dear Jesus bears the Holy Cross,
Our Savior of all humankind,
For us, you start this journey now;
Still, endless love for us you find.
Our Jesus falls beneath the Cross;
So dreadful now to bear this pain.
Dear Jesus, when we fall to sin,
Please help us rise up once again.
Our Savior meets his Mother dear,
Mary, anguished and depressed,
Please help us face our sorrows too-
Live up to all our trying tests.
A man named Simon of Cyrene-
Appears to help our Savior’s plight
To lift the weight of his great Cross-
Lord, burden us to spread your light.
Veronica wipes our Savior’s face.
Look now! His imprint's there to stay!
Please on our souls your imprint make
And help us keep it there, we pray.
Dear Jesus falls down on the path,
Again now for the second time.
But soon he rises to go on,
Lord, help us please, to stay in line.
Our Jesus meets some women now,
They kneel down to mourn and weep.
“Weep not for me,” he says to them,
“But for your children, the lost sheep.”
Our Jesus falls again, this time
His journey's nearly at an end.
Dear Jesus, when we fall to sin,
Grant us the wisdom to amend.
Our Lord now stripped of all his clothes-
This torture is so sad and cruel.
Please, Jesus, strip our souls of sin;
Our hearts and souls, you always rule.
Our Jesus now nailed to His Cross-
Your death, dear Lord, is very near.
Sweet Savior nail our souls to you,
And grant us grace to have no fear.
Oh, the dreaded Crucifixion!
Our Jesus now so humbly dies,
While all the sins and sins to come-
Are placed before his tear-filled eyes.
Our Lord is gently taken down,
In his dear Mother’s arms is placed,
Oh Mary, Mother of our God,
Help ease our sorrows to be faced.
Now, Jesus placed inside his tomb,
To rise again on Easter Day-
Redeemer of all humankind,
With us forever you will stay!
Oh! Great day of Resurrection!
From tomb, he rises to the sky,
With all God’s angels by his side-
He joins his Father up on high.
Oh! Great day of Resurrection!
He rose again on Easter Day!
Redeemer of all humankind,
With us forever you will stay!
It's like your world is ending
Everything comes crashing down
Can't catch your breath
Down, down, down you drown
Waking in the morning
To another dreaded day
Going through the hustle
Just to keep the pain at bay
Escaping is what you want
You numb yourself just to survive
Hating the world when you're sober
Hate yourself for getting high
Oh yeah-This hollowed life of lies
Going through the rituals
Crushing up your dreams
Drawing back within yourself
That icy devil makes you scream
The storm rages deep inside
Harboring all your guilt and shame
Fighting a losing battle
You think it's too late to change
You hate the world when you're sober
Hate yourself for getting high
Numbing as a way of living
Living your hollowed life of lies
Then one day you see
Someone who used to use
They were happy
No longer broken and confused
They tell you of a man
Who washed away their sins
They had found peace
Oh yeah- found peace within Him
You were tired of the hatred
You were tired of getting high
You were tired of living
Living your hollowed life of lies
You asked for forgiveness
You were hungry for more
You wanted what they had
They had opened the door
Now you're walking free
Free from the shame and guilt
With Jesus in your heart
You had been rebuilt
No more hating the world
No longer getting high
You laid your pain at His feet
You escaped that hollowed life of lies
My heart is overflowing
With a love that just keeps growing
Lighting the path toward hope
Leaving me weightless, like a feather
More alive because we’re together
My mind is filled with joy
Laughter and love, amazing power
Whispered to the heavens
On the rays of lemon sunlight
Reflected in the stars
As they twinkle through the night
Exciting the sapphire skies
My thoughts are flooded with
Joy, feelings that simply destroy
The shadows that might harm
That sinking feeling of wrong
The darkness in the storm
Your presence is like a promise
Assuring me of the happiness
That flows through my veins
Uncovering the whisper of grace
My dreams are sometimes alive
With the brilliance of intimate skies
Filled with hope and faith
Colored in hues of silent prayers
Awakening the soul to its praise
To a Father who brings out the way
Toward freedom, redemption
Salvation and the second chance
That comes from giving in to His wisdom
And leaning on the word, the One
Who guides our hearts toward home
My heart is bursting with radiance
Vibrant twists and turns
Of laughter, joy and truth
Brought alive by the sounds of goodness
Discovered on the wings of mercy
Brought to life inside where I know
There is only this hope, this belief
That God is alive and He brings peace
Beyond understanding, a shining
Example of His love, His kindness,
His wisdom and strength
The reason He gives us all
A second chance
He is a God of second chances
A God of light and laughter
A God of redemption – filled with
The zeal that will thrill spirits
Send tingles of fulfillment
Wake up the sleeping soul and kindle
A reason for living on the edge
Of a sincerity, a serenity – a faith
That gives from the depths of its place
Amid the worries and sorrows and reasons
To let go of this opportunity
To share God’s deliverance with those
Who need, most of all, to hear of Him!
Jesus is the reason for every thought
Every feeling on the heart
Every desire from the soul
The rich and brilliant hope that flows
Through veins that are alive with
Sensations of sweet faith
Salvation comes – not to those who wait
But to those who repent and praise
Those who know Jesus brings a second chance!
Hymns of salvation
That my own body
is my greatest enemy
was unknown to me.
Deluded,
O Lord, I was reveling in its pleasures.
The ones that
do not listen to Your tales,
never speak the truth and won’t feed the starving,
worry not about what is right and what’s not,
would not obey the Guru,
do not remember Your name;
O God, why should anyone care if such folks
are alive or dead.
O God, fed up we all are
kinsfolk with weeping ,
relatives with cremating ,
moms with giving birth ,
I with getting born.

* The philosophy of the poem is borrowed from the hymns ( in Tamil) sung by one of our( Indian) saints named” PATTINATHAR”, revered for his words of wisdom and deeds of miracles. The reference in the 3rd stanza is to the innumerable incarnations each soul has to go through, age after age, till it gets freed from the cycle of births and deaths on attainment of salvation. Here he is praying to God for his own salvation : ” In this never ending cycle of births and deaths ; times without number, have my close relations wept for me whenever I died, my near ones cremated me as many times; times without number, mothers gave birth to me and times without number I was born into this world. We are all totally fed up, going through this process repeating itself again and again. O God, deliver me once and for all from this terrible fate”.
Stanzas 1 and 2 are self-explanatory.

Welcome to Planet Earth,
Our very own looney bin,
Where no human
Is without sin.
Surely it is not only us out there,
Perhaps more advanced beings,
Or, perhaps not,
In an eternal universal space,
There must be another
Inhabited place,
No matter who they are
Or who they be.
Rumour has it, we are contagious
That the symptoms we display,
Will reach galactic proportion,
Bringing upon us diseases, lack of water
Deforestation, many a misfortune,
Oh dear God, forgive us,
We have ruined,
Almost all that you gave us,
Sadly through over population,
God, have you reached your tether
With us, we have even
Altered out weather,
Animals have no home, forests
Are being depleted,
Because of Mans greed,
Our asylum can no longer proceed,
We must concede,
For we have to succeed,
No one knows what to do,
We are losing our sanity,
Suicides, murders, torture,
We must search or souls
To regain humanity,
And refrain from profanity
It was predictable,
Many have become despicable,
War, criminality, sheer brutality,
Our children through social media
losing their innocence and individuality,
We need salvation,
And must open our doors to
The poor, the desperate, the needy
Whoever the Nation,
Remember we all come under
The same umbrella, of God’s creation.
Go ahead and tell them
Look them in their bright young eyes
Tell them they're going to hell
For love
If they want salvation
They must go against their god-given nature
They must repent and regret and repress
They must reproduce
Because love doesn't exist without it
God forgive them if they're sterile
God forgive the cervix cancer that takes her
God forgive the dead seed that he sows
Because their love will be forbidden
Like it is for all the dastardly barren homosexuals
What a joke
What a horrible joke
Oh yes
It's a choice
Love is a choice
We choose to be hated, we choose to be hurt
We choose to be thrown out on the street and kicked and shouted at and killed
Go ahead and tell them you won't hate us
But you'll look the other way when terrible things happen to us
You'll offer us salvation
If only we destroy ourselves
In Poetry I Find Salvation
It has saved me
from the
depths of despair
that emanate
from living
in this world
It has taken me
to a higher level
where I live
in freedom, happiness
enjoying each day
as it slowly passes.
It has
opened my mind
taught me wisdom,
enlightened me.
I need it
like I require
food and air,
am grateful
that I found her.
*Salvation*
I look around d theres nothing left
compassion, humanity, darkness and death.
People struggling, babys cry,
Die for a cause, and lived for a lie.
Deception, distruction it's all around,
you can' spread your wings to fly
when so busy trying hard to be down.
Down here the smell the taste,
I relish the thought when taken to the place.
Vibrant colors, warmth on my face.
Walk amongst lions, how I long for this place.
Rejoice in his name, for the Kingdom, the Power
and the Glory is ours.
The past and the scriptures can't be erased.
Jesus died for our sins, our salvation, eternal life,
A better place.
So when lifes burdens you can no longer bare,
ask the Lord into your heart, in the form of a prayer.
He feels our pain and and cries our tears.
Jesus, the son of God suffered severly, at the hands of his peers.
The Lord helps those who help themselves,
call on him, see him, and believe in him.
Live your life through him, not in despair.
Love is life and life is living, when you walk beside him.
Don't be afraid call out his name.
He will answer, as so many before me have proclaimed.
Ask for forgiveness, to wash away your sins.
Leave the life lived in the past and in his name
let a new one begin.
Amen.

The Message of The Cross
We are living in a troubled world
Where people’s minds are in great turmoil
Society is alarmed at the divorce rate
And child abuse cases continue to escalate
The fabric of society is shaken
And many are emotionally broken
But one thing that remains unshaken
Is the message of the Cross
Chorus
The Cross offers hope and peace of mind
In Jesus you can gain a life sublime
So if you don’t want to be lost
You must kneel at the cross
Are you alarmed at the calamities around you?
And worried about your job and your future too?
Are you troubled by the diseases of this age?
Are you anxious about paying off your mortgage?
Well, I just really want to let you know
That there is one thing for sure
God will always make a way
If you only look to Him today
It’s the message of the Cross
Chorus
The Cross offers hope and peace of mind
In Jesus you can gain a life sublime
So if you don’t want to be lost
You must kneel at the cross
Now even in your quarantine and lockdown
You can embrace his tranquility and freedom
Do not focus on the things that are earthly
For they are deceitful and only temporary
Just keep your eyes on the Father above
For through Jesus He demonstrated his great love
He was crucified for you and me
And his salvation is rich and free
And that’s the message of the Cross
Chorus
The Cross offers hope and peace of mind
In Jesus you can gain a life sublime
So if you don’t want to be lost
You must kneel at the cross

God has so made our heart that nothing can ever fill it but God Himself ~ Charles Spurgeon
I searched for happiness on shores of romance
There were only passing fancies there,
I needed another chance…
To find the truth, the way through the dark,
The life that was joyful – for this is what I sought
I searched for inspiration on a trembling muse
There were only gentle vibrations there,
I needed to find the whispers…
The stirrings of a gentling, a feeling breathing…
With wonders beyond imagining – hues of pleasure
I searched for beautiful on the tears that poured out
There in dew, the rain, the intimacy dripping
I needed to know the sensation…
Coloring my dreams in splendors rising, risking
The music in skies – erasing every doubt, each sorrow
I searched for remarkable on the wings of each season
There were whimsical winds, dancing leaves,
I needed to feel the astonishment…
Grace smiling through the spring sonnets, forests
Alive with the tenderness – keeping soft reflections
I searched for light on the stardust moments, nightly
There were glistening memories there,
I needed to believe, have faith…
Assurance that heaven is real and I can truly see
The wonder beyond the tear stained clouds, glowing
I searched for serenity on the gusts of freedom’s flow
There amid the clusters of psalms, prayers,
I needed to understand peace…
Promising me the miracles of grace that saves,
Bleeding through the walls I’ve built around my heart
I searched for truth on the laughing sparks shimmering
There with all the fires of love growing,
I needed to listen to His wisdoms…
Revealing the way through the past, the darkness
Into the redeeming promises, the deliverance, the gospel
When I finally knew Him, the way that I could have
All those many moments before, when I ignored
The beautiful, the wonderful, the joyful…
There in His presence, the way to see past the fears
Into the life that is forever, always… eternally I’m His!
Comes a time of unbreaking
what's broken
maybe broken to the point
a thing can't be fixed
ever
forever
severed.
To be sure prayers can find a home
but not when a divine plan's mark
is missed
yet must insist
with clenched fist
I resist.
A simple woodcarver, be
like Mister Geppetto
fend off a life of despair
perhaps with a little help from
a Fairy with Turquoise Hair.
For a creator
nothing causes elation
like its finest creation
seeking salvation.
All may end in ruin
in stringed freedom's destroy
it's never easy
bein' a wooden boy.
Life's call is abrupt
so keep your dukes up.
I believe I do, in it all:
The story of a Manger in a Barn;
Where Mary and Joseph had laid
Jesus was here, in this barn
He laid in that manger and played.
I believe, He's the Son of Man;
An immaculate conception
Told by the Spirit of God
As He came to visit, Mary,
Throughout the night.
The Redeemer, a Savior;
For humanity's fighting plight
It's foretold that He would come
For the creation of life that needed saving.
They came to see the maiden of the barn;
Animals of all kinds of breeds
Feeding, watering from the troughs
They're all lying around everywhere
Waiting for the birth of a King, do not despair.
Coming from faraway places, they do come;
The animals had no doubts about the case
For Mary was about to give birth on this day
For humanity's salvation will soon be paid.
When the Angels started Singing;
As trumpets bellow in the background
Setting a stage for a grand entrance
Of a King that was about to be.
Then, the Shepherds came walking through
With good tidings, do they bring
Three Wisemen following a bright Star in the Sky
Finally, Jesus Christ was born
Under That Bright Shining Star!
