keep turning your back and facing the wall,<br> You can see me die, but you can't hear me call,<br> I gave you a Book, so that you could turn around,<br> So my Spirit could work, and say, "It's you I've found"</p> <p class="center">I can see what you do with your life at your feet<br> I can hear what you say to your friends in the street,<br> So, I'll stand out here waiting, all through the night,<br> I'll stand out here calling, till you see the light,</p> <p class="center">You do know about me, and my love for you,<br> And the sacrifice I made, was made for you too,<br> There was no other way of you, meeting me,<br> I want us to be friends, like we ought to be,</p> <p class="center">I've heard you pray, when troubled times chime<br> Then pray no more, when things are fine,<br> I want you more than that, such as your heart,<br> Anything else shall be turned down flat,</p> <p class="center">I love you, and want you to open up your door,<br> I bought you, and paid for you, many years before,<br> So, I'll stand here, and wait for you, to bid me come in,<br> And the blessings you'll receive, will soon flood in,</p> <p class="center">So here is the question, I'll ask you

up, in your strong loving arms,<br> No matter, how many times I fell<br> Remember the time, when I told you this,<br> That my innermost feelings, just wanted to be loved<br> I needed the reassurance

leisure that yields no pain<br> A fragment of time I haven't shared in vain<br> A friend that I've loved still the same<br> A counselor of woe out of a troublesome mind<br> A caresser of feelings, that is soothing and kind<br> A friend in a billion, I think you'll find<br> That eases all worries, time after time,<br> A solitary place, where I can go to be free<br> With me, with my Friend, on bended knee<br> A fashionable place where I go to be free<br> Where I sit with my friend, and he hears me.<br> A safer place, I have not found<br> With my head buried close to the ground<br> A silent whisper can still the sound<br> Where still and quietness, is heard all around,<br> A quiet disregard, of the world and its ways<br> A fortunate time, in these last final days<br> My friend will help me, keep the world all away<br> So my friend will keep by me, and together we'll stay<br> And in my quietness I see his face on that hill<br> The face of my Lord, loving me still<br> Knowing the pain, that he paid in full my bill<br> And knowing inside, it was my Fathers will<br> So captivated and fooled by the world and its wrong<br> Thinking and believing it was where I belonged<br> Untill I heard of the Lord, of him dying on that tree<br> A sacrifice of sovereignty, and he did it all for me<br> He called me to him, as he did love me so<br> He called, and he called me, and did not let me go<br> And now the blood has covered, the seeds, the world has sown<br> And the knowledge of his love, has indeed been made known.<br> Oh sure, a selfish life indeed was led<br> The harsh words that I had spoken, and the things that I had said<br> A cold and weary heart, was ruled by my head<br> And the sins of my life indeed, I had surely fed<br> So cold and weary, and sick and sore<br> My heart wasn't filled, and wanted all the more<br> Blinded by my sin, scrambling on the floor,<br> Until I heard a knocking, and scrambled to find the door<br> And that is when I saw the light, as I asked him to come in<br> The Lord of Heaven, and of Earth, had covered all my sin,<br> And I saw him in his fullness, with Glory all around<br> And I stood still for one moment,,,,, and hardly made a sound<br> And so when I speak with my heart open wide<br> I see my friend there, and in him I confide,<br> He'll always be there, and in my heart he'll abide<br> Of course I'll always know, that for me he chose and died<br> And I know he became alive, as he lives within my heart<br> And I know he'll never leave me, or decide, to depart<br> His love is engraved deep, within, inside my heart<br> And now I know I have to stop, so that Jesus can make a start. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://christianpoet.blog.co.uk/2006/06/02/friendship~847698/#comments">Comments</a> </small>

disguise a force we cannot beat<br> It is everywhere around us within the people that we see,<br> Like a virus within our own the pleasures from which we flee,</p> <p class="center">We grapple head to head, this foe we can't bring down,<br> Struggling to get free, this umpteenth time around,<br> It hacks into our minds and searches for the weak<br> It manipulates our thoughts from which we dare not speak</p> <p class="center">And it reaches in, and gnaws away, in an unrelenting fashion,<br> But we dare not feed it, no we daren't for fear to turn our passion,<br> We endure and carry onwards with this gnawing in our minds<br> The only way we can soften it, is in Jesus Christ we find</p> <p class="center">We fight for all that's Holy to live lives from His Book<br> To read and pray through every page from Sin would have us pluck<br> Our eyes are fixed on Jesus the Saviour of our Soul<br> And as a thankful ready people we give to him our all,</p> <p class="center">And if we stray today to look around and take our eyes off Him<br> Satan pounces as an angry dog and stirs the pleasures within,<br> We try to wrestle with him and put him to the ground<br> But if we are not focused inevitability will be found</p> <p class="center">And when we awaken with our faces in the dirt<br> And the light within dims and our whole body hurts<br> And our Soul is screaming from the Hurt that's within<br> And we try and run from, the sepid stench of Sin,</p> <p class="center">We try to remember of where we went awry<br> We realise our foolishness so back to Christ we cry.<br> So of course the Lord He welcomes, back to His open arms<br> We tell Him of our wrong to Him He puts to bed our calms</p> <p class="center">And when we see His smiling face and the Glories that surround<br> We cannot help but throw ourselves at His feet onto the ground<br> It is so much an endurance this fight to keep our Soul<br> But Satan will try and steal it, so the Love of Christ we hold.</p> <p class="center">And we endure to carry onward with this gnawing in our mind<br> And we rest our problems with this Jesus<br> The Saviour of Mankind.</p> <p> <small> <a

Tear-drops full of woe,<br> No joy abounds with gladness, as the tear-drops overflow,</p> <p class="center">My life was but dependant, to feel alive once more<br> Wallowing in discontentment, numbing the pain of war,<br> This war of right and wrong that raged within my soul<br> Numbing it to a new song that rages within us all,</p> <p class="center">But for most,,,,,, start a new start, as they hear the words of love<br> A renewing of their own heart by Grace from up above,</p> <p class="center">And so,,,,</p> <p class="center">Last night I talked of bad times and took rest on solid ground<br> And agreed to follow the Son of God cos He's the King I've crowned,<br> And I asked him for forgiveness for the error of my ways,<br> And both my Eyes were opened up, now my heart shall surely stay</p> <p class="center">And yesterday I saw him for the first time in my while<br> And this morning when I woke, I had that everlasting smile,<br> And I'll always know how much He cares, and that He's my number one,<br> The journey was made so clear to me, by his,, eternal Son,</p> <p class="center">So now I talk of good times, which far outweigh the bad,<br> And whenever I start to feel low, I see the friend I have,<br> And I see Him for all his Glory, and I feel Him in my heart,<br> And this is where I have to stop,<br> So that Jesus can make a start. </p> <p> <small> <a

shed by man,<br> As they trickle slowly by,<br> Caused by Wars near and far,<br> There is no reason why<br> Death is so absalute<br> As I walk this green and pleasant land<br> But death is all about me<br> In all this land I find<br> But greeness can be seen<br> Against the speckled spots of blood<br> The greeness of the trees<br> As they climb gently within the wood<br> But on the riverbanks<br> There tells a different story<br> Of man and all his wisdom<br> Causing Wars for all his Glory<br> Yet, I can come here<br> To find the truth and reason why<br> The Laws of the Governments<br> The Truth they cannot hide<br> But all about me, there is greed<br> A sinful thing, I know,<br> The German army knew this<br> As they lay dying in Russian snow<br> But yet the wind does softly blow<br> And the ripples of life go by<br> These Wars will get more common,<br> And more men shall surely die.<br> So on this letter I will write<br> Of life not yet seen<br> And yet all the Wars on earth<br> Will never see where I have been<br> And gently down the riverside<br> At the graveyard I will stand<br> And yet I look about me<br> And see a green and pleasant land. </p> <p> <small> <a

reflect on the day that has passed by your sight<br> And you wonder of the morrow and all its delight<br> And your head seems heavy as your thoughts take flight<br> You wonder to much,, how you'll get through it all<br> As the days melt to years and they are taking their toll</p> <p class="center">And the world so it seems,, is to be having a ball<br> But your world is darkened by the worries you hold<br> This bleak life of yours has the responsibility of one<br> And you fumble for your happiness but you are undone<br> And the daylight dawns , but still you see dark<br> And your energy weakens you, in making your mark<br> You don't see the dawn and you don't see the light<br> For you're blinded by your grasp, and its just within sight</p> <p class="center">Focusing on darkness where the light never shone<br> You endevour too see a glimmer, but you are undone<br> You don't see your focus, and that it was, still the same<br> As it was when you were younger, now you're focusing in vain</p> <p class="center">Money riches glory power, you may never will attain<br> Even if you did, still your focus would be the same<br> The things of life you count on, you don't require at all<br> Jesus is the only one, that can save you from your fall</p> <p class="center">At the moment you are playing a pawn in the devils evil game<br> Grab on hold of Jesus, who will deliver you from your shame<br> Jesus came and died for you, and came and lived as man<br> And He came with one objective, to Save, of course He can<br> He came and bled and died for you, a savior through and through<br> He lived and breathed and died in pain, it was all just for you<br> Of course I do not wish to say He will give you what you grasp<br> He will of course give his dying Love, and that my friend will last</p> <p class="center">If you truly are repentant and cry forgiveness in your plea<br> He will give you by His Grace a Saviour, a Saviour to which to flee<br> But beware my friend of this of fresh battles which to win<br> Your soul may be sanctified but you still will have sin<br> But in the path of Gods love, the deed has been done<br> The despair of life is over, and the war is won<br> So, as you lie in your bed, with your thoughts late at night<br> And you reflect on the day that has passed by your sight<br> And you wonder of the morrow and all its delight<br> Rest on this Saviour, and watch the rest take flight<br> You now have a choice about which pathway you should go<br> Just go the way of Jesus, Its Him you ought to know</p> <p> <small> <a

will pretty much stop<br> You may not have heard about the upcoming motion,<br> Which everyone will know about from ocean to ocean,<br> From everyone here to the end of town,<br> From the city to the country the Truth will come round<br> From person to person, from Peter to Paul<br> To the people in the town, the Truth will call,<br> It isn't in the papers nor in the evening news<br> Nor is it in the minds of man, who is adamant to refuse,<br> But before you walk on by and walk away from here<br> There is something I want to tell you and I'll make it quite clear<br> The Truth has given us, life with sight speech and sound<br> He has spoken creation, which is all to be found,<br> He has given us abilities to enjoy the fruits from Him<br> Which we take in our abundance, to satisfy our whim<br> We enjoy this person, most eagerly each and every day<br> But do we stop and thank Him or do we turn away,<br> Do we give to Him all Honour from our hearts do we lift<br> Do we thank and praise Him, for each and every gift<br> Our eyes have clouded vision, for we do not see our God<br> There is stumbling all around as all we see is fog<br> He is the reason I'm telling you, of events to soon unfold<br> The Bible tells, His coming, so the scriptures word will hold<br> And the Gates of Heaven shall open, with a shout to be heard<br> It is spoken within the Bible, each and every word<br> He shall charge with a triumph from Heaven down to earth<br> And take with Him all, who had received their second Birth<br> And every knee shall bow on that glorious final day<br> Jesus Christ is the Lord, everyone shall say<br> Then will come the Judgement for access to be with Him<br> And everyone will give accounts, of their willful acts of Sin<br> And the King shall speak, and you'll have nothing to say<br> And if you don't know Jesus, you will be banished far away<br> An eternity is spoken of, this I am quite certain<br> Your view of God shall be covered, like a window with a curtain<br> Now,,,, is the allotted time, so make you peace with Him<br> Do not pass by today, and make your choice for Sin<br> No man knows the hour that day will finally come<br> For that day is coming soon, and God's will will be done<br> Do not ponder and decide, to make your peace tomorrow<br> For if the Lord does come tonight, your soul will reap its sorrow<br> So reach out for Him now and take Him by the hand<br> For He will guide us both on, into the Promised land </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://christianpoet.blog.co.uk/2006/05/13/the_coming_day~796216/#comments">Comments</a>

of all who would come to him<br> And acknowledge the fact that they had sin<br> And so we celebrate this Easter time<br> Acknowledging the Love that was so Divine<br> We worship the King who died on a tree<br> So that we as a people might be set free<br> And God made man a likeness of his own<br> The Lord knew this as his whole body groaned<br> Love immeasurable, we cannot conceive<br> To pontificate, understand or even perceive<br> It was Love that held him high up there<br> Not the nails or the jeers, it was a Love that cared<br> A Love so immeasurable, it stands the test of time<br> This Love held him there, this man with no crime<br> And all about him the people rejoiced<br> Killing our Lord with laughter in their voice<br> Together as one, they cheered with delight<br> Knowing in their hearts, that their Law was right<br> Stripped of his clothes and naked in their sight<br> So that we might be clothed in raiment of white<br> And the Lord hung there, on that guilty cross of shame<br> Bleeding and dying, a man with no blame<br> He was made to look, like a fool on a hill<br> And he hung there and he bled there loving us still<br> And Heaven denied him and Earth denied him too<br> In spiritual darkness was this man for you<br> And Jesus cried out for his Father whom he loved<br> The farthest corner of heaven, that's where his Father stood<br> The pain he went through was nothing compared<br> To the abandonment he felt from his Father he shared<br> Forsaken from God and darkness in the land<br> Spiritual destitution, was all he had at hand<br> He bore the whole of Hell, on his shoulders for all the Earth<br> And he suffered and he loved to give us second Birth<br> He hung his head and cried out in vain<br> What an act of Love for the sake of our name<br> And three days later the Lord rose up again<br> With no pain and no suffering and no shame<br> He's victorious over Death, which can't keep him down<br> Victorious over sins and triumphant is the sound<br> And we rejoice in it in the Grace that we've found<br> The fantastic part is Jesus, and he is still around<br> And so the Blood it runs so thick and free<br> Just as his Love does for you and for me. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://christianpoet.blog.co.uk/2006/04/30/crucified_love~766959/#comments">Comments</a> </small>

class="center">This is the story of Giant Despair,<br> Someone in your life, you've to be very aware,<br> If he catches you sleeping, in the job you're doing,<br> He will drag you back, and put you to ruin,<br> You have to brave the storm and not to sleep,<br> Or Giant Despair, will upon you creep,<br> And take you back to his Giant lair,<br> When trouble will come, and you'll be deeply scared,<br> This happened to the pilgrims in this tale,<br> Who slept through the storm, the wind and the hail,<br> Only to find themselves sleeping the day,<br> Woken up, dragged off, and have nothing to say,<br> And down in the dungeon where the rats smelled fear,<br> Were Christian and Hopeful, who had both shed a tear,<br> Knowing inside of the foolish thing they'd done,<br> Of sleeping the night and into the morning sun,<br> And the Giant unbolted the great iron door,<br> Presumably he had done so many times before,<br> With a club in his hands he beat them hard,<br> He left them battered, and slammed the door, real hard,<br> Left with their sorrow, and left with their pain,<br> They weren't going to make this foolish mistake again,<br> They should have fought onwards through the wind and the rain,<br> But all they could think about, was the Giant who brought them pain,<br> Next day the Giant walked in with amazement in his eye,<br> He had beaten them enough and expected them both to die,<br> He told them, they were never, no never going to escape,<br> If they tried indeed, both the pilgrims he would break,<br> If they did not wish to die, as they hadn't had no food,<br> He offered them poison, that they should wisely use,<br> Then Christian begged and pleaded with this Giant,<br> That he would have mercy, and asked him, to relent,<br> And the Giant was mad, and could have beaten them up,<br> But in the bright summer weather, he found his strength was spent,<br> The Giant then left, and they both began to brood,<br> What shall we do, we are going to die, for lack of food,<br> If the Giant is ill, maybe, just maybe, he won't lock the door,<br> The King may show us a way of escape, let us wait a little more,<br> That evening the Giant thundered down once again,<br> Only to find them not dead,,, only in a lot of pain,<br> Despair was very angry, and had some terrible words to say,<br> And as Christian looked and heard, poor Christian fainted away,<br> In the morning the Giant dragged them both to the open yard,<br> There was bones of pilgrims, from places near and far,<br> It surely was indeed, the most dreadful sight they'd seen,<br> He was going to kill them said the Giant with an enormous beam,<br> Then he beat them, he beat them black and blue,<br> And the poor pilgrims did not know what they were going to do,<br> Now Christian,,, had the Key of Promise, about himself,<br> Which he had forgotten about, such as his despair, of spiritual health,<br> They both began to pray, their prayer to the King,<br> They prayed to him earnestly, of Despairs downfall He would bring,<br> And the King heard of his little pilgrims plight,<br> And then sent out an angel, to see them, clothed in raiment bright,<br> The angel then whispered words into Christians ear,<br> Although Christian did not see him, Christian did hear,<br> And he remembered that Discretion, had given him a key,<br> And that it would open every lock, and undoubtedly set them free,<br> The Giant upon hearing their escape, pounded upon the stair,<br> But the Giant fell heavily to the ground, within the Giants lair,<br> The Giant lay upon the ground as they managed to get free,<br> And they ran across the meadows, for their king they were going to see,<br> This is a chapter, in a Christians walk in time,<br> Making us aware, as we fight the front line,<br> There are pitfalls abundant, in our journey to the King,<br> Be aware at all times, for in his name we should cling. </p> <p> <small> <a

same<br> A counsellor of woe out of a troublesome mind<br> A caresser of feelings that is soothing and kind<br> A friend in a billion I think you'll find<br> That eases all worries time after time<br> A solitary place where I can go to be free<br> With me with my friend on bended knee<br> A fashionable place where I go to be free<br> Where I sit with my friend, and he hears me<br> A safer place I have not found<br> With my head buried close to the ground<br> A silent whisper can still the sound<br> Where still and quietness is heard all around<br> A quiet disregard of the world and its ways<br> A fortunate time in these last final days<br> My friend will help me keep the world all away<br> So my friend will keep by me, and together we'll stay<br> And in my quietness I see his face on that hill<br> The face of my Lord loving me still<br> Knowing the pain, that he paid in full my bill<br> And knowing inside it was my Fathers will<br> So captivated and fooled by the world and its wrong<br> Thinking and believing it was where I belonged<br> Until I heard of the Lord of him dying on that tree<br> A sacrifice of Sovereignty, and He did it all for me<br> He called me to him as he did love me so<br> He called and he called me and did not let me go<br> And now the blood has covered, the seeds the world has sown<br> And the knowledge of his Love, has indeed, been made known<br> Oh sure, a selfish life indeed was led<br> The harsh words I had spoken, and the things that I had said<br> A cold and weary heart was ruled by my head<br> And the sins of my life indeed, I had surely fed<br> So cold and weary and sick and sore<br> My heart wasn't filled and wanted all the more<br> Blinded by my sin, scrambling on the floor<br> Until I heard a knocking and scrambled to find the door<br> And that is when I saw the light as I asked him to come in<br> The Lord of Heaven and of Earth had covered all my sin<br> And I saw him in his fullness with Glory all around<br> And stood still for one moment and hardly made a sound<br> And so when I speak with my heart open wide<br> I see my friend there and in him I confide<br> He'll always be there and in my heart He'll abide<br> Of course I'll always know, that for me, he chose and died<br> And I know he became alive, as He lives within my heart<br> And I know He'll never leave me, or decide to depart<br> His Love is engraved deep within inside my heart<br> And now I know I have to stop, so that Jesus can make a start.</p> <p> <small> <a

and the pleasures he craved,<br> Our King in the Heavens, and His one and only Son,<br> Saw the plight of mans sin, and knew what had to be done.<br> From the beginning of time, the path was prepared,<br> For a King to be born with no Sin to bare,<br> The King of course was the Lord Jesus Christ,<br> To be born of a Virgin, and save man from his plight.<br> So God from the Heavens, looked down to earth,<br> And saw the virgin Mary, a woman of worth,<br> He sent the Angel Gabriel, to a town in Galilee,<br> To bring God's news to Mary, the favored one he'd see.<br> Mary was greatly troubled, and wondered of the greeting,<br> A great and substantial shock, of an Angel she was meeting,<br> The Angel then gave news to her, of the coming of a Son,<br> Mary did not understand this news, as no wrong had she done.<br> The Angel then explained to her, of the power of the LORD,<br> That nothing is impossible, there was nothing untoward,<br> Mary buckled,,,, As she realized, and truly understood,<br> She answered to the Angel, as only a servant could.<br> Mary told the Angel, "May it be, as you have said,"<br> Once these words were spoken, the angel then left,<br> Mary had been blessed, as she had truly believed,<br> Soon to give birth to a Son, Jesus the Nazarene.<br> The bringer of hope and the bringer of peace,<br> The settler of all worries, and misery to cease,<br> This is the beginning of a story of Love,<br> Of GOD sending Jesus, being sent from above!!<br> So Jesus was born, in a soft manger bed,<br> Just as the Old Testament prophets, had said,<br> Away in the fields keeping watch on their sheep,<br> Shepherds by night, trying their best not to sleep,<br> Suddenly an Angel appeared, and Glory shone around them,<br> And gave them news of a King, who waited in Bethlehem,<br> After this the Angel left, as they talked with each other,<br> They then went to Bethlehem, for their King to discover.<br> They found the Man-child, just as been told,<br> Wrapped up warm in clothes, to keep out the cold,<br> The shepherds then went out, and spread the whole word,<br> And all the people were amazed, of what they had heard.<br> This has been the story of the birth of our Lord,<br> Someone who is to be cherished, Loved and adored,<br> So whilst Christ, our Lord, was walking on this earth,<br> He touched many hearts, to give them second birth.<br> There are many, many, mighty acts of love, He has done,<br> And many, many, peoples hearts, He's so rightly won.<br> And now He's up in Heaven, the life we still yet breathe,<br> Is given us to glorify, and worship endlessly.</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://christianpoet.blog.co.uk/2006/04/30/the_king_is_coming~766307/#comments">Comments</a> </small>

in store<br> Nobody liked me, I can't blame them you see<br> I was selfish and immature, I cared only for me<br> I could win fights with words, no problem at all<br> Finding peoples weak point, that was my goal<br> I got my kicks from all this, why, I haven't a clue<br> I think I wanted to be hated between me and you<br> I would hold my head high when people looked on,<br> Defiant and cocky, I knew I had won<br> I didn't need friends, I was a loner till the end<br> And to be alone in my life, I was willing to spend<br> But I swore I would change my outlook on life<br> As it wasn't worth all this trouble and strife<br> But I couldn't, I was stuck in a rut, and I couldn't get out<br> Alone in my world I wondered about life and whats it about<br> I knew a guy at work, he was a Christian of the deepest intent<br> He was morally upright and he said what he meant<br> I'd see him taunted of his conviction on the shop floor<br> He'd smile and walk courteously out of the door<br> Unlike me, I would have gone for the kill<br> I had trouble in keeping my stubborn toungue still<br> I built up my courage and walked over to him<br> I didn't know at the time I was convicted of sin<br> I asked him this, is life mapped out<br> And if its so, please tell, whats it all about<br> He looked at me curiously we hadn't spoken for ages<br> "Yes in a way", he said, "Look at these pages"<br> The pages belonged to the book of the LORD,<br> He explained what they meant, and, he meant every word<br> He showed me Romans 8 verse 28<br> And I couldn't get enough, we talked until late,<br> The next day I walked in, with questions in my mind<br> What about "Adam and Eve, the Dinosaurs, the fall of mankind"<br> He answered every question, I never questioned the Book,<br> I took it as the word of God, and worth a second look<br> He asked, what was stopping me from being born again,<br> I hadn't got a clue, but I couldn't answer then,<br> I rummaged round my head, for something to conflict<br> You worh, get married, grow old and die,,, thats it!<br> The Bible added a new dimension though, a light I hadn't seen<br> I walked through endless pages, places I hadn't been<br> He said, "God loves you, and wants you to follow him"<br> And automatically, life didn't seem to be quite so dim,<br> So on that night in 84, I gave my life to God,<br> I realised where I was before him, I realised where I stood<br> I was a Sinner to the utmost degree<br> Thats why Christ had to die on that bloodstained tree<br> The next day, I told my new Brother at what I had done,<br> Well pleased He was, then taught what was to come,<br> Subject to ridicule and the expense of their jeers,<br> Hold these problems up to Christ, and he will definitely hear.<br> I didn't gain any friends as I had really wanted<br> I was jeered, laughed at, pushed and taunted,<br> I had a new "Adversary" to deal with I hadn't counted on<br> But the problems I had I held up to Gods Son,<br> And if I hold fast to the cross and give Jesus my all<br> I'm less likely to sway and less likely to fall<br> As a Christian goes, I've fallen quite a lot<br> But what picks me up is the love that I've got<br> I still haven't many friends, just me and my dog<br> The friendship, the love of "JESUS CHRIST", and the whole family of God</p> <p> <small> <a
