POEM 9: FOR ME

In great agony

At Gethsemane,

A man's painful cry and plea,

Was for me.

In sorrow and pain,

And in utter shame,

A man bore his awful bane

Al for me.

Thorns did pierce his head,

 Blood did mark his tread,

AS to Calv'ry He was led

All for me.

A sword pierced His side

And as His mother cried

On the cross He bled and died

All for me.

He rose from the dead, 

Just as He had said,

Now with the God Head

He pleads for me.

POEM 8: CALVARY

The greatest plan drafted,

Was at Calvary,

When God planned to rescue

All of us from misery.

The greatest love was shown,

There at Calvary,

When Christ was crucified,

For a sinner like me.

The greatest gift given,

Was at Calvary,

Where God sent His Son

To die in agony.

The greatest price was paid,

There at Calvary,

Where Christ gave His life

For all humanity.

The greatest Vict'ry won,

Was at Calvary,

Where Jesus conquered death, 

By dying on the tree

Great lives can start,

There at Calvary

For by God's grace

All sinners are set free.

POEM 7: DARKNESS

At the beauty of the night,

Just stand and stare.

At the stillness and silence

You'll forget all stress and care.

The darkness has beauty,

With which none can compare,

No wonder God did not state - -

Let the darkness not be there!

~~ Crystal David John 

POEM 6: HOLY SPIRIT

God's Holy Spirit,

You are my precious guide

My true comforter,

Constantly by my side.

Come soon and fill me,

And empty all the dross,

That is within me,

And nail them to the Cross.

Help me to know God,

And understand His ways.

In my strength

I cant gaze upon His face.

~~ Crystal David John

POEM 5: IT MATTERS NOT

It matters not what others do,

As long as I do God's will.

For He is always with me,

Criticize - I'll do it still!

It matters not what others say,

I'll do what God has told me to,

Meticulously I'll do each bit, 

Though none around may agree.

It matters not where others walk,

The road God's laid I will trace,

Though the path is undulating

I can for I have His grace!

POEM 4: LITTLE THINGS

The mist doth clear

And we do see

The warm bright day

That dawns on me.

The bud doth ope

To a fragrant flower

Imparting beauty

Hour by hour

All through the day

The birds do sing

Their sweet music

Great joy doth bring.

The silent moon

Doth peep at night

Spraying down

Its silvery light.

The sky is sprinkled

With  little stars bright

Twinkling constantly

The darkness they fight!

These little things

In God's work of art

Show all of us

the care He imparts.

POEM 3: CLEANSE ME

With Thy Precious Blood

Cleanse me thoroughly

Extirpate all sin,

That is engrained within me

As gold in heat is refined

And the refining is sure

Clean my soul and mind,

That I may be pure.

Cleaned by Thy sacrifice

Help me be Holy

True and sincere

Living Victoriously!
