Best Same Old Story Poems

The story never gets too old.
It never loses flavor,

Who was the mother of our Savior;

And how He grew into a Man,
And became a great teacher,
Surpassing all the wisdom,
Of the profits, leaders and preachers.

He didn't teach by word alone.
He taught us...

Telling the old story
Was Golgotha's soil sad  
Did it weep for the blood?
Which dripped on the good earth
Cedars and olives bud 

Telling the old story

Telling the old story
Was it...

Saint George his dragon slain,
Gulch-Mammon lives on happily

It's time to start high-tea.

Gulch-Mammon's teeth...

Christ Jesus is His name,
Changing lives is His game!

His story on my heart do tell,
Obeying His Spirit to do well!

The Jews of the day expected Him on a white horse.
The temple leaders did not approve of His course.

An old story

Create from the beginning something that never ends
A story of enchantment and intrigue and always suspends
A passage to another place then twists and bends
The world is forgotten when you read and forget it’s pretend
Tomorrow will take care of its self now today your...

I'm younger than I look but big
a food desert will get you large
but not in a good way.

I am 11 years older
than...

A slow flying songbird will reach the end of it’s life.
It will glide and sweep then
Tumble and fall.
It will fall away from the sky,
That sky 
It has come to known so well,
Tumbling away from an infinite abyss.
I’ll be reaching the end of this myth
With a...

Ebony took her jack-o-lantern and sat on Cauldron Hill.
She was Old McWee’s familiar, so she knew she could be still.
