God's promises never die,
Throughout the Bible revealed,
They cannot and will not defile,
Or ever be repealed.
The Lord never tells a lie,
His promises are never dead.
Our faith allows us to trust in Him,
To keep each precious word He’s said.
All we must do is believe
Which God promised we could do,
It’s written in His holy scriptures,
Believe in His blessed word that's true.
The Promises Of God
Poet: Greta Zwaan, ©2003
Abram, Abram, what have you done?
Remember, God promised to give you a son.
Has He not always been true to His Word?
Was this a message you might not have heard?
Are you still worldly, your trust incomplete?
Because of a need that God couldn't meet?
You gave into Sarai, agreed to her plan;
You let her persuade you, you proved a weak man.
Hagar conceived and gave you a son,
But this child was not God's promised one.
You should have waited, just thought things through;
Been patient and trusting, in God's timing for you.
Many years later the pain is still here,
Ismael and Isaac - that hatred, that fear.
Jews against Arabs, fighting for land,
Heartaches and problems they don't understand.
Abram, Abram, what a burden you bear,
Acting on instinct as if God wasn't there.
Now there is hatred, more than ever before,
Mistrust is rampant and peace is no more.
You were unfaithful, God chose to forgive;
All His compassion allowed you to live.
And not only that, God still blesses your life,
And gave you a son through Sarai, your wife.
God's hand's not shortened when man interferes,
Let it be known that each prayer He hears.
Let us learn patience, let us learn trust,
For all that God does is holy and just.
Patience, dear Abram, would have won you the race,
God is sufficient with power and grace.
Yes, He'll forgive you, with love pure and strong,
His presence will bless you if you're where you belong.
Abram, Abram, what a great God you serve,
Rest in His mercy; let your faith never swerve.
Spiritual Poems
Poet: Digby Mackworth Dolben
I asked for Peace -
My sins arose,
And bound me close,
I could not find release.
I asked for Truth -
My doubts came in,
And with their din
They wearied all my youth.
I asked for Love -
My lovers failed,
And griefs assailed
Around, beneath, above.
I asked for Thee -
And Thou didst come
To take me home
Within Thy heart to be.
Quotes About God's Promises

I tell you, you can pray for anything,
and if you believe that you’ve received it,
it will be yours.

plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster,
plans to bring about the future you hope for.

by Catherine Pulsifer, ©2020
God has promised to be with us
And He is, to that I can witness
We sometimes think He is not around
But then something happens that is profound
And we realize He has been with us all along
And we give Him praise with a song.
He has told us not to fear
That we are His children and to Him so dear
We are to put our trust in Him
No matter the situation that is grim
He never promised challenges would be none
But an external home when life is done.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In timeless pages, His promises engraved,
Throughout the Bible, His truth unveiled,
From ancient days till present, unwavering,
God's faithful words, a shelter never failed.
Today as we tread through life's turbulent hue,
His promises endure, steadfast and true.
Just trust in Him; belief will carve our way,
For God's relentless love will guide each day.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In sacred words, divine and bright,
God's promise are fair, an endless light,
He tells of life beyond this sphere,
Of love, forgiveness ever near.
With humble hearts, we seek His grace,
Embracing Christ in every space,
For through our faith and love profound,
Eternal bliss in Him is found.
