Short Worshipful Poems

Grace*

God’s blessings...

…empowering, nurturing, sufficing;

Thankful, appreciative, joyous, worshipful

Grants!

*1Corinthians 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are the wrestlers,
And it's a fine day to wrestle,
It's fine today and fine tomorrow,
It's o so fine, when we wrestle sorrow,

We are the wrestlers,
Worshipful hands and flexing feet,
I need to earn, so this sorrow I must meet, 
Run and jump, grip and throw
Next move?
... I do not know...

A Woman of Substance,
Cited as An Instance,
Her name Lady Constance …
The rest giving Distance!

Then, she become married
On her wedding carried:
A Worshipful Bridegroom,
Who could wait for their room
But would rather off zoom
To it long swept with broom …

But mid-street Fatal Crash,
To the Man A Fate harsh …

Now married soon widowed:
By Death overshadowed!...

welcome to the many windowed cityscape
the wanton color of badly mixed paint
with a parade of personal lives
like black stockings full of runs
strafed by formations of overhead birds
whose small eyes think only to judge
passing, teasing wisps of cloudy twirl
confining we dwellers to a sunless cave
thousands and dozens stacked worshipful
stacked tightly knit in churches
longingly longing to be someplace else...

Hearing God’s Word:
…strengthens grace-sustained faith*
…cheers up revived soul
…nourishes vibrant spirit
…anchors diligent discipleship
…enlivens worshipful service
…boosts scriptural preaching
…propels church-involvement progress
…builds up compassion-driven ministry
…secures biblical commitment
…props fervent prayer!!!

*Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Sweet song of the Virgin Mary,
Most magnificent story,
Heralding salvation’s message,
Good News for the ages.

Mother of the exalted Savior,
Held in God’s greatest favor,
By Miraculous Conception,
Brought near our redemption.

Chosen by the Father above,
Unconditional pure love,
The central theme of Advent time,
Unique new paradigm.

She obeyed yet was perplexed,
As told in the holy text,
In worshipful humility,
Mary yielded graciously....

HIS NAME IS BEAUTIFUL

His heart is so tender,
To care his ugly love,
Controlling his anger,
He behaves like a dove.

Like a roaring ocean,
He fights with everyone,
Who hurts her emotions,
He is her strong forefront.

He is of monarch clan,
No match his ugly 
love,
But bows down like 
blind man,
Infront of his belove.

His unspoken love reigns,
Worthy of worshipful, 
Her hero has a name,
His name is beautiful.

Blest soul* praises God with worshipful glow

midst zest of service, exalting Christ’s name

around prayer nest toward faith ascent

prevailing against temptation test fall

gladly triumphant in gratitude best.

*Psalm 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
