Carol Stannard Poem
I am a creature, created through gods will and by his hand,
I present myself as an open vessel at his command,
So he can manifest his power and goodness through me,
An empty vessel filled with Christ who taught us humility
When I see how truly god is all, I sense entire nothingness,
My ideas and my thoughts are gone, ask to him I must confess,
God doesn’t Bestow on us humility, it isn’t something that we bring,
It’s acknowledging our position and worshipping him as king
I will make humility a practice, through faith and prayer and love,
I will take guidance from my Jesus up in heaven above,
He showed us True humility as upon the cross he died
I pray for humility like he has
The lamb who was crucified

Carol Stannard Poem
There is pain in our town lord
Loneliness and fear,
There are hearts rent from sorrow
Needing a saviour to draw Near,
There is alcoholism and drug abuse
Covering hurts up from the past,
Let us remember what you said
The first shall be made last,
Lead us to these people lord
Give us your words to say,
Lay their names upon our hearts
And teach us how to pray
We have hope for them
We feel their sorrow,
We pray they will have a better tomorrow
Lord when they turn to you
Let their faces shine and their hearts renew

Carol Stannard Poem
I remember the moment I fell in love with you
I can still smell your aftershave, see the shine on your shoe
I feel your arms around me holding me tight
I can remember everything that happened that night
And oh how I wish that you were still here
And oh how I miss you so much my dear
See these tears in my eyes? They’re all for you
See this aching heart has broken in two
Why I keep asking did you have to go
No one can tell me coz nobody knows
It’s etched in my mind that most awful day
The angels came down and carried your soul far away
The police stood in my kitchen, they said my true love had died
I felt myself shaking, I fell to the floor then I cried
And oh how I wish that you were still here
And oh how I miss you so much my dear
See these tears in my eyes they’re all for you
See this aching heart has broken in two
Why I keep asking did you have to go
No one can tell me coz nobody knows
I never said goodbye because that means forever
I’m certain one day we will meet again and always be together
My tears they still fall but the memories they cheer me
It’s a comfort to know that now from pain you are free
But oh how I wish that you were still here
And oh how I miss you so much my dear
See these tears that I cry they’re all for you
See this aching heart has broken in two
Why I keep asking did you have to go
No one can tell me coz nobody knows

Carol Stannard Poem
There is this girl that I once knew
Who lied and stole and swore
She wore Makeup to attract the men
She dropped her pride upon the floor
She hung around with those like her
Who plied her with alcohol and weed
She laughed and scorned at others
Forgetting her own need
She wore her laughter like a mask
She was hurting deep inside
She didn’t really like herself
And had trampled on her pride
But then one morning she awoke
And knew she had to change
She knelt down upon the floor
It all felt rather strange
She prayed to Jesus there and then
She cried, her heart so raw
She invited him into her life
She couldn’t live like this anymore
He offered her forgiveness and hope
He knelt right by her side
He healed her inner wounds
Now she’s got dignity and pride
He whispered that he loved her
He gave her perfect peace
And now she sings his praises
And her heart has been released

Carol Stannard Poem
Four months in lockdown
What have I done?
I’ve made my way back to God
Through Jesus the son
I’ve found him again
Oh what a delight
Into this present darkness
He’s shone his great light
I’ve read books of the bible
I’ve prayed and I’ve cried
I’ve made my way back
To the one I’d denied
He’s shown me his mercy
He’s accepted me back
And he’s shown me that through him
There’s nothing I’ll lack
His promises I’ll treasure
His word I will own
Because through this lockdown
His great love I have known

Carol Stannard Poem
As I think upon the graphic details of your death
I pause a while bow down and catch my breath
I’m heartbroken about the pain you had to endure
It will be etched on my mind forever more
Obediently to death you were lead away
You heard everything against you they had to say
Humiliated, taunted, spat at, torn and battered
Yet we your lambs to you were all that mattered
I’m sorry for my part in your death and pain
Oh Jesus mighty king for us was slain
I sit beneath your cross tears running down my face
I feel so unworthy of your mighty act of grace
I need to be at your cross to Understand and know you more
Oh Jesus I will worship and honour you forever more

Carol Stannard Poem
I can’t Do anything but pray
Pray that this mountain goes away
Pray that my mind will be still
Pray in the wholeness off his will
Pray that Satan I will defeat
As I kneel at Christs mercy seat
Pray that healing can be found
On this dirty battle ground
I’ll pray until Satan can stand no more
I’ll pray until my knees are sore
I’ll pray my saviour come what may
I’ll pray and pray till this goes away

Carol Stannard Poem
Are you here lord, here with me
I’m hurting inside lord
Why can’t you see
I want to be with you lord
In a world with no pain
I want to say sorry lord
I won’t sin again
But how can I say sorry lord
When this worlds so full of sin
How can I say sorry
When I don’t know where to begin

Carol Stannard Poem
Come and talk to me God
Show me what’s on your heart
Let me hear your voice
Teach me where to start
I’ve no idea where you want me
Or what works you’ve got me to do
I lay everything down father
My only guide is you
I feel a bit lost and bewildered
I can’t see what lays ahead
Speak to me lord Jesus
Because by your words I’m led
Talk to me in the quietness
As I kneel in peaceful prayer
Give me dreams and visions
Let me know that you’re there
