Take Up Poems


The Lord Jesus Loves to Take up Impossible Cases

Love is the reflection of Our Father
Prayer is the engine of truth
The Lord Jesus calls the lost
He paid the cost at Calvary for everyone
What seems lost is most appropriate for His purpose.
He will make it possible when it seems impossible!
He joins you with God the Father and 
Grants His Holy Spirit

We must know that the

Take up thine armour


No principality shall stand,
for God is ruler of this land.
Lord help us root for all that's right,
as we wrestle, each day and night.

Humble thyself before the Lord,
lay down your weapons at thy door.
Put on the whole armour of God,
stand firm in Christ, against all odds.

Buckle thy belt upon thy waist,
it shall be truth, that you

Premium MemberThe Eye Doctor Said I Should Take Up Boxing

Ocular hypertension and
A couple of jabs here

I read the letters on the chart and
Threw in the towel

But she was adamant 
The connotations

Pay-per-view Las Vegas
Ears bitten 

Jubba-jubba-jib-jab and
A bathroom meteorologist 

I got the receptionist
In a headlock 

I didn't kill Davey Moore
But I made another appointment and

Promised her the next time I was in
I would be the

Premium MemberYou Have To Take Up Smoking

Father gave his son the talk before he attended prom.
He gave him a severe lecture actually, many warnings.
About how people get carried away, and they get pregnant.
The boy was horrified, he had not even kissed his girl.
This was 1967, of course, when morals were alive and well.
Father said “and one last thing, son….you have to

Our world is darkened 
by hate.
Each one of us can be 
a light in the midst of 
darkness.
By spreading love instead 
of hate.
Or peace instead of chaos.
Or joy in the midst of much
sorrow.
Or doing things that unify
and not divide.
Or saying kind words
instead of hateful insults.
By doing this one will be 
letting their light shine,
In the

A Hundred to Take Up the Stairs

I may not live for a hundred years,
But a hundred of my poems will be there to allay your fears,
And soften your tears,
Enough to give voice to these hundred musings,
As I make my way upstairs,
To have my poems 
Checked out by past Masters,
Who once stirred our souls,
And won our hearts, 
With poems that allayed our

Come Take Up Your Cross

As I sat within the Crowd
Watching a play
Jesus Resurrection

I saw on the faces of many
As tears came to my eyes
Little girl next to me cried
As my heart sank deeep inside

As a man.. Who portrayed Jesus
Was sold for some coins
They whipped and beat him
Tis ever so horrid

They then took Nails driven in both 
His Hands and

Take Up the Cross and Follow Me

I cry to Thee sweet Jesus
for my burden is too great
Take this cross away from me
for I cannot bear the weight.

My child the road to calvary I trod
on painful and  burning soles
I bore the cross upon a back
and  fell beneath its load.

I lay my life down my child
so that you might live
I left
