Poems About God
Is there a higher power or a God out there? Why did It create us? What is the
meaning of it all? When one is on a spiritual quest, these are some of the
questions one encounters. Of course, if such a being were to show itself, that
would answer all our questions. But without questions, might that take some of the
excitement out of the search? The world is intended to be a place of free choice.
The more clearly God is manifest in the world, the less we can choose to ignore his
presence. His choice not to show himself is a gift to human beings to be able
choose their own destinies.
Can it delight your soul to the core? Can it take your breath away with its faithfulness to
you? Can it paint both sunrise and sunset across the sky to beckon your attention? Can it
cause the breeze to blow and gently caress your cheeks? Can it send hummingbirds and
wildflowers across your path to romance your heart? Can it parade before you the starry
host and call them each by name?
Can it probe you to the depths and fill you with itself?
Can it rush to your aid riding on the wings of the wind?
Can it satisfy your hunger and thirst with bountiful things?
Can it give to you feet like a deer that you might dance upon the heights?
Can it arrange every detail of your life to draw you and drive you to itself?
Can it pursue you with all the resources of the universe?
Can it know you through and through and still desire you?
Can it raise you up and seat you in the heavenly realms and bless you with every spiritual
blessing? Can it supply your every need out of its glorious riches? Can its grace be
sufficient for you and its mercy help you in your greatest temptation? Can it pour
overflowing comfort into you through all of your troubles? Can it reach down to draw you
out of deep waters? Can it set you on an unshakable foundation? Can it bound across the
mountains to come to your rescue? Can it make you lie down in green pastures and lead
you beside still waters?
Can it walk with you through the darkest wilderness and never leave you or forsake you?
Can it carry you when you are weak or have fallen? Can it let you rest between its
shoulders when you are weary or burdened?
His Feet
District Elder M.L. Maughmer, Jr.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That made His little face glow
When His mother tickled His tiny toes.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
Which at the age of twelve
Made Him stand before those educated well.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That stepped into the Jordan River
And carried our souls deliverer.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That stood atop a mountain high
And proclaimed the Kingdom of Heaven is nigh.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That treaded across countless miles
Bringing hope, healing, happiness, and smiles.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That travelled over sand, rocks, and dirt
Carrying comfort and love to all those who hurt.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That gently bent a blade of grass
Are the very feet that bore the guilt of my past.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That didn’t run when His accusers approached
But held fast His stand in spite of every stroke.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That marched up Golgotha’s hill
Fulfilling God’s purpose and His will.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That were nailed to the cross
Just so I would not be lost.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
Stepped over into captivity
And lead the broken captives free.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That walked out of a borrowed tomb
And through locked doors of an upper room.
His feet, oh, those beautiful feet
That crushed the curse of sin,
Will one day step on earth again,
To judge all history,
And forever reign in victory.
Oh, to sit at His feet,
Yes, those beautiful feet”
Is where I want to be
Worshipping God for all eternity.
Jesus Loves Us
Desley Finedon
“Jesus loves me this I know,
for the Bible tells me so.”
This is a very special thought:
to young and old it ought be taught.
God’s love was there before our birth,
even before He made the earth.
In our mother’s wombs He formed our parts;
knit together body, soul and heart.
He loves as a shepherd loves his sheep;
as a mother when her child weeps.
He is our Father, saving, caring,
protecting and our burdens bearing.
His love never fails, is always warm,
giving peace inside when outside’s a storm.
He is gentle too, patient, kind,
and with good thoughts fills our minds.
When we know God loves us so,
we are strengthened to face our foes;
not run away, feeling low,
alone, uncertain how things will go…
For He makes secure, brings hope to life,
boldness to stand for what is right;
changes us to consider other’s needs:
God’s love is shared through kindly deeds.
Jesus loves us: all may know
what the Bible tells is so.
