Best Servant Poems
Servant Heart
O Lord, I know my need for you
For your grace like fresh borning dews
Your ready handmaid, scarred and flawed,
Servant to the servants of God.
You gift me music, ministry,
Writing rhymes from soul felt pleas,
To walk the rough roads you have trod,
Servant to the servants of God.
Let me be less, Lord, you be more,
This my prayer – this I implore –
A servant’s heart, humbled and awed,
Servant to the servants of God
Enlightened by God’s truth, abide in His will
While His entrusted tasks you fulfill
Labour for Him, trekking stewardship hill…
Press on, God’s servant*; in His peace, keep still.
Enabled thru Christ’s strength, work for His glory
While claiming His assured victory
Love Him, reaching out to others thru Gospel…
Press on, God’s servant; vanquish guilt’s injury.
Enriched with the Lord’s grace, share your blessings
While giving your best toward fruitfulness’ enforcings
Lead others to spiritual life's abundance against selfishness…
Press on, God’s servant; conquer slothfulness’ cursings.
*Matthew 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

To me you are a sacred dream
Each warmest hope upon the day.
A glass of wish from precious stream
Bright trace of sun through clouds of grey.
My endless trust in times of need
Our secrets shared we do confide
In passions breath to one I’m freed
Past darkest hour you are my guide.
Protection is my granted gift
To strive for you my sole delight
No one event shall birth a rift
Forever yours my quest to fight.
Perfections promise I shall chase
it's luck you chose my life to grace.

That's what I am
A Servant To Poetry
I'm dominated by passion
with Muses spreading their light
I've sacrificed myself
freed myself to be ruled
my total being possessed
by forces that overpower
my actions, thoughts
It's as if I am
alienated from reality
in my own domain
in the zone of an empire
that transcends actualization
Justification penetrates
as desires are perplexed
by this controlling force
that drives me to performances
delivering unquestioned joy
and satisfaction.
They could work no more,landing
on the pebbled shore,
a meal of grilled fish,ready there,
broken bread to share-
eaten at his feet
breakfast....so
Sweet !
Full story of this vignette @ John 21: 1-14
B-rave and faithful servant
I-s fighting against the lies;
E-arly June twenty-seventh,
N-o fear is found in his eyes.
M-oving on toward the crown,
A-ll he upholds is God's truth;
C-limbing up every ladder,
A-s he wants the labor's fruit.
L-ove, faith, and hope
I-ntensify his being valiant;
N-othing can twist the mind
O-f the faithful servant.
I Lust 4U
My thoughts are yours alone
I crave you like an insatiable appetite that cant be satisfied
I wait for you as today waits for tomorrow,
My mind no longer my own
With my body soon to follow
You the master of my domain; My King
And i am your humble servant
Your wish is my command!
Servant
You healed the lame – made the speechless sing -
Brought light into blind eyes;
Held a child within your arms
Then woke her from death’s sleep;
Walked the waters of the stormy seas
Bid the wind and waves be calm
You came as love – a servant to all.
You feed the multitude upon the hill,
Gave them bread to eat their fill,
Taught their voices how to pray –
Our Father we say still;
Braved the darkness of the empty tomb
Arose on the third day
You came as love – a servant to all.
You did not scorn the leper’s plea -
Heard the crippled ones cry out;
Welcomed back a woman at a well
Then forgave a thief;
Shouted at the tomb of your dear friend
Called him back to life
You came as love – a servant to all.
You - the servant of God’s lowly ones -
Walked the dusty roads of Galilee;
Took the children to your side
Held them on your knee
And said the Kingdom – like one of these –
Faith brighter than the sun
You came as love – a servant to all.
You drove the darkness from souls possessed -
Turned water into wine;
Changed the hearts of all you touched
And said "I bring new life;"
These miracles that you performed on earth
Signs of your great love for us
You came as love – a servant to all.
God has truly blessed you
With a servant's heart
Trust Him to give you what you need
To finish what you start
Though you may not know it
You've planted many seeds
Because of you some people now
Trust God to meet their needs
Because you have been faithful
God's face will shine on you
And He will give you great success
In everything you do
When Jesus comes to take us home
And He sees all you've done
He's sure to say "Enter in; I'm pleased with you dear one
All the leaves turned and waved
Before the darkness turned them grey
And buried 'neath the scarlet sins
Were skies so red the poppy grins
"Heed not your torment" old crows caw
"The carriage ride belongs to all"
As monotone the workmen chant
Sixpence for stipples love's recant
"The day will come" the old tree swayed
"Tho seasons change and hearts will fray,
Steadfast your beacon, pointed north,
And hallowed be, your love go forth"

The Unmerciful Servant
“26"The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' 27The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. 28"But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded.” Matt 18:26-28 NIV
The Kingdom of Heaven
Is like a king who wants to settle
His accounts with his servants,
Who owe loans that cripple.
When brought before the King,
The Unmerciful Servant couldn’t pay.
So the King showed him pity; cancelled his debt—
Permitted him to go on his way.
But when this servant who was shown mercy—
The greatest of mercy, sweet
Found one of his fellow servants,
He demanded his debt settlement to meet.
He put his fellow servant
Into prison for his debt;
Showed him not the mercy
That he had been beset.
When the King was advised
Of the unmerciful servant’s lack of mercy,
He imprisoned the servant
For his unkind lack of leniency.
The moral of this story
Is that we are forgiven,
So we must in turn forgive
In God’s merciful rose garden.
God has a garden full of roses,
Painted in the color white.
He gives us a rose
When our forgiveness finds sight.
Forgiveness is a gift,
The Unmerciful Servant received,
But would not pass it on,
Because his heart was deceived.

Aware of the New World Order
and its philosophy, principle, predicament
vis-à-vis Bible prophecy
my spirit trusts God
Who is the Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent
to put things in His order in His perfect time.
Meanwhile, let me picture how servant leaders
govern midst God's Divine Order according to Scriptures...
There they are with freedom bliss~~~
diligently pursuing the works of anointed stewards
fulfilling their days, commenced with prayer
earnestly seeking the Sovereign’s presence
while endeavouring with faith priority acts:
family nurture, nourished with loving responsibility
strengthening home brace along virtue values’ pillars
promoting accountable parenthood
along children holistic development program
simultaneous with pedagogical endowments~~~
pushing for functional geriatric welfare
midst wholesome andragogy advancements
upon physical, mental, psycho-social health accessibility
buttressed by hygiene and sanitation exercise
in consideration to ecological and environmental care
reaching-out to the less fortunate toward lifestyle betterment~~~
imposing lawful justice system, balancing truth with mercy
enjoining each one to practice daily thanksgiving gesture
applying principle of “Love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Yielding as good examples*… they beseech the Holy Spirit
for guidance in their commitment
to bring people near the LORD.
*1Timothy … Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

What an honor today
That I serve Jesus.
To take His loving hand,
Please show me the way.
He opened my eyes,
Allowed me to see.
He blew life into my lungs,
He brought me to breathe.
It was in the nick of time,
I wouldn't have it any other way.
You took me from that storm
That thrashed me away.
You brought Peace in me now,
I'll never live without it.
You're the center of my world,
I'll give that shout.
I have more love for You
Then one person can give.
My what this pleasure it is,
You live within.
I was foolish in the first place,
Not to be with You.
I love You more today, Lord,
More than I did yesterday, too!
God Bless, Everyone!
THE FAITHFUL SERVANT
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
A grand knight by the title of Sir Reggie Bentley
Had a castle and land a far as the eye can see
Had a beautiful wife known to all as Lady Emily
A page and servant known to all as Henry Lee
Urged other knights come on a crusade with me
Lets go to Jerusalem and set the holy land free
He gathered an army with his impassioned plea
To his wife, I must answer the call of holy duty
I will think of you each day as I cross the sea
My dutiful wife, alas you can not accompany me
You will be safe in the hands of trusted Henry
I will be gone for a while, years two or three
You are truly faithful, but knaves may not be
So wear a chastity belt while waiting for me
Henry most loyal how long have you served me
Sire, I’ve been with you for years, twenty three
You have guarded my house cared for my family
You’ve been most willing when serving my Emily
I have the utmost confidence and trust in thee
If I do not return, please set faithful Emily free
I hereby entrust you with the chastity belt key
The fateful day arrived with the gathered army
Camped outside the moat in columns of three
Early that dawn Sir Bentley kissed sweet Emily
If I do not return Henry Lee will set you free
The legion rode off at the head Sir Bentley
They had ridden apace for hours, two or three
When approached in a huff by trusted Henry Lee
Sire! Sire! you’ve given me the wrong key
Ye faithful servant of Christ
today is a gift of grace
our God has sent you to this place to lead us
always ready to share a comforting thought and a smile
Ye faithful servant of Christ
thanks for your guidance and your care
he spends hours on his sermons
which are truly God inspired
Ye faithful servant of Christ
he walks in the footprints of God
he's content in the Master's shadow
one day God made you His
Ye faithful servant of Christ
enduring faith, everlasting love
hidden in his heart
seasons of happiness, promises of pleasure
Ye faithful servant of Christ
trust in the Lord with all your heart
and do not lean on your own understanding
in all your ways acknowledge Him
and He will make your paths straight
Ye faithful servant of Christ
witness for the Lord, walk with God
and God said
thank you, thank you
