Song of Solomon (Part II)
By :
Glenn Washburn
A poem I wrote to my wife during our honeymoon. It reflects my understanding that the intimacy that a husband and wife can share in the marriage bed goes far beyond the physical. It is the joining of two temperal beings into one eternal manifestaion of holy love. Indeed, a marriage that is submitted to the Lord in hummility can perfectly mirror the intimate love that Christ has for His church.
I Would Die For You
By :
Glenn Washburn
A poem written to my wife after a particularly bad argument. In my selfishness I would often accuse my wife of not supporting me, asking everything of her and nothing of myself. This poem is my pledge to her to walk a different path.

A Friend's Love
By :
Glenn Washburn
“A friend loveth at all times…”
It sounds so good…so wonderful
But can it be true
Can a friend love at all times?
The Neighbor
By :
Glenn Washburn
Who is my neighbor?
The answer is not hidden…it never has been.
Though it has been trod upon by marching boots
Down through the battle-scared centuries,
Still it reaches out to all seeking souls desperate for its healing touch.
First Light

The Orphan Warrior
By :
Glenn Washburn
For it is on the shoulders of soldiers such as these
That the fate of the kingdom lies
Humble heroes who know that they
Never stand as tall as when they are on their knees
The Door
By :
Glenn Washburn
I see is a Lamb with the eyes of a Lion and He is bleeding.
As I kneel and hold Him I suddenly see the blade that pierced His heart.
It is held by countless hands and the one on top is mine
New Dawn

It's Tough To Love Like Jesus Say
By :
Tabitha Person
It’s tough to love like Jesus say,
When feelings of disappointment get in the way.
Fragile Hearts
By :
Tabitha Person
Today, I attended a funeral- a young life taken too soon.
Today, his family and friends bid him a final “goodbye.”
Today, few words could heal this open wound.
Our Youth
By :
Tabitha Person
What a shame! Our youth don’t seem to care!
Beyond their own ideas and thoughts
And most of those-they do not share.
Released
By :
Tabitha Person
Remnants of distrust and pain tempted to linger on,
From past experiences-more than two decades far gone;
The needless pain of innocent youth gone astray;
Thanks be to God who watches along the way.
Let It Go

Tabitha Person
Let it go-the past! It happened to you!

No Holding Back

I Am Glad
By :
Wisdom is Great

Wisdom is Great
Oh, What A Wonderful World
If there is only a love, there is no time for hatred.
If there is no time for hatred, there is no violence.
If there is no violence, there is no crime.
If there is no crime, there is peace.
If there is peace, there is a harmony.
If there is harmony, there is a friendship.
If there is a friendship, there is a friend.
If there is a friend, there is a relationship.
If there is a relationship, there is closeness.
If there is closeness, there is a loyalty.
Battle Against Sin
By :
Rick O
The battle against sin is one we weren't designed by our maker to fight! It's His battle, not ours! When we realize that He didn't design us to be some superhero who can resist all sins, it is a great relief. His word says that when we are at our weakest is when He is most strong! It's like the driver's ed. teacher who could apply the brake at any time, but he doesn't! All powerful, almighty God of the universe who pursues a relationship with me doesn't expect me to be perfect. I must surrender
Proverbs
By :
Rick O
In the book of Proverbs we find such knowledge and wisdom and words to live life by. It is a beautiful and wonderful book filled with insight. Since there are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs, and most months have 30 days or so in them, I find it helpful to try and read a chapter of Proverbs each day. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. (1:7)
There is a path before each person that seems right, but in the end it leads to death (14:12 or 16:25)
see also 28:26
Letting Go of Self
By :
Rick O
A Sunday School teacher of mine once said that being a Christian isn't hard. What's difficult is letting go of self. Letting go of those things we want to do, when we want to do them. Letting go of the habits we've developed over the years. Giving ourselves totally over to God's care and control is conditional upon letting go of our own lives and taking up our new life as a Christian. We must DAILY deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him. We must develop new habits -- quiet time daily
Life in A Shelter
By :
Rick O
God will let us run from Him as far away as we want to run and mess our lives up as much as we want to mess them up because He is a gentleman! He doesn't barge into our lives and force us to obey Him. Revelation 3:20 says He stands at the door and knocks. It's up to us to let Him in to do the work that only He can do. This poem was written the day that I checked myself into drug and alcohol rehab at a homeless shelter. Sometimes the best place that God has our attention is at ROCK BOTTOM!
If I Choose to Sin
By :
Rick O
If we choose to sin, it is a deliberate choice we make, because sin's power over us was defeated at the cross! I used to be the king of justification, rationalization, you name it! But now I realize that when I sin, it is I who has made the choice to sin. The devil didn't make me do it as the expression goes. In the book of James it says that we are tempted by the lure of our own evil desires. Proverbs 3 says to trust in the Lord with all (not some) of my heart and lean not on my own understandi
Coming, Lord, Back to You
By :
Rick O
At one point or another in our lives, we all need to come back to the Lord. Whether we've slightly detoured off the path or are miles away from where we should be, God is only one turn away, right there eagerly waiting for our return to Him. Coming back to the Lord is the greatest decision I've made in my life. I was the most miserable person because for years I was a Christian, living in sin. You can never be truly happy doing whatever it is you want to do when God has so much more in store!!!
Three Types of Men
By :
Rick O
A Sunday School teacher of mine once stated that there are only three types of men in the world: ignorant-those who don't know the Lord, foolish-those who know the Lord yet don't live like it, and wise-those who know the Lord and it is obvious through their lifestyle. This is a poem I wrote after that Sunday school lesson at the Salvation Army
The Proud Crowd
By :
Ann Doupont
America was once so humble and bowed her knees in prayer. God wants us to draw near to Him, to return to a close walk with Him in prayer. He wants us to repent of our pride, of doing things our own way and do things His way instead.

No One to Mourn
By :

In the United Sates alone, government statistics reveal there are well over 500,000 children living on the streets, abandoned and cast-away.

The Tree
By :
Wanda Mae
This poem was written from the perspective of the life of the tree that was cut down and made into the cross that Christ died on. While the tree does not have the same spiritual body that we flesh have, the tree is a living spirit and is taught to be by the Indians. Since I have that Indian background I tried to express how the tree felt when being cut down like.
