Please allow a thread for praising Jesus Christ the Beautiful Lord and Everlasting King! Poetry and Prose, please. Whatever is on the heart.

I was inspired by the passage I read for my quiet time from Isaiah 5, which begins by Isaiah saying, "I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard..." I sensed the Lord had a song for me based off of that song, only about Jesus Christ and what he did for us. So, I asked him, and he...

Jesus said that if anyone would come after him, i.e. if he would be one of his followers, he (or she) must first of all deny (disallow; repudiate; forbid) himself, i.e. renounce his life of sin, of selfishness, and of following his own will and way for his life. He must take up his cross daily...

Holy Spirit, come within us. Cleanse our hearts, and from sin free us. Make us holy vessels fit for service to the King. Fill us with Your love and power. Anoint us within this hour To be living witnesses For Jesus Christ, our King. Our praise to Him bring. Father God, our heart’s desire...

"And he said to his disciples, 'Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor...

Jesus Christ, God the Son, came to earth, took on human flesh, suffered as we suffer, and was tempted as we are tempted, yet without sin. He was despised and rejected of humankind, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. He was crucified on a cross, although he had done no wrong. Yet, he...

The Lord Jesus led me to read John 1:35-51 (multiple versions). What I see at work here is that God revealed Jesus to John, John then revealed Jesus to his disciples, and two of them followed him. One of the two immediately told his brother, who he then brought to Jesus. Jesus found Philip and...

When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the...

The tapestry was marvelous, Well done, and was not frivolous. All shown to fit together well For all who on the earth do dwell. For God had His design in mind In hopes that Him the people find. He showed Himself to everyone Through His created works, well done. But humans have a different...

“And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. ‘Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. ‘Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. ‘Blessed are you when people hate you and when they...

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Every morning you greet me. Meek and pure, truth and light, You look pleased now to meet me. Flourishing, growing in Him each day, Live with Him forever. Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Blessed to know Him forever. Based off the song “Edelweiss” Caution: This link...

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV). Sometimes in life we have questions for which we don’t have answers. Sometimes we pray and we can’t hear God...

This song is a call to arise (get up; stand up), be steadfast and persistent, and to let our lights (Jesus Christ; our salvation; the gospel; purity; and truth) shine forth from us, so that those outside of faith in Jesus Christ may come to him, to know his saving grace. We may need this call...

Waiting on the Lord involves trusting in who he is, in his word, in his many promises, and in his power, sovereignty and grace in our lives to work out all things in our lives according to his plans and his purposes. Life doesn’t always make sense, and sometimes it may even seem unfair and...

I was talking with the Lord about how quiet he was, and then the phrase, “a still small voice” came to mind. I remembered that God had spoken to Elijah in a “still small voice” or in a “gentle whisper.” That was when Elijah was discouraged because of his powerful enemy who was coming against...

Coming to faith in Jesus Christ means so much more than just Jesus forgiving us of our sins so that we can go to heaven one day. When we trust Jesus to be our Lord and Savior, we give our whole heart and devotion to him to obey him, to forsake our former lives of sin, and to follow him wherever...

In the stillness of the midnight When all’s quiet and serene All the hustle bustle still now And a person rarely seen You can hear a drop of water Hear the tinkle of a bell Hear the ticking of an old clock And can say that all is well It is peaceful now, so quiet All that chitter chatter gone...

What’s Your Purpose? Why you be? Are you trapped? Or are you free? In and out is where you are? Sometimes nearer? Sometimes far? Broken record played each time? Nothing changes, not in time? Worn out efforts do not work So you angry? So you irk? What’s the purpose, shrink from all? You no...

Hello friends! How are you? How are you this day? What’s doing in your life? What have you to say? Do you have a prayer Or a praise on your lips? Is all going well or Are things now amiss? Are you of good fortune Or desperate for help? Will you now be silent Or will you now tell? Are tears...

Wayward children, wandering souls, Thoughtless people, varying roles, Walk in darkness, seeing no light, For from Jesus, taken their flight. Have no mercy, walking in sin, Self-indulgent, drinking their gin, All about them, not about God, But the many wear a façade. Put a mask on, others...
