1. See You In Heaven?
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Let me tell you a story
   About a man who came from glory.
   It happened long ago, more than 2000 years
   If you reflect upon this story it can calm your fears.
   
   Think about this I say
   How many books are around this day
   That we were written more than 1500 years ago
   It is one that should make you think so.
   
   A man sent from God above
   Sent to show His love
   And to show His people the way
   For those who have gone astray.
   
   You don't believe in God you say
   Well, that may seem okay
   But I ask a question of you
   What if He is true?
   
   Do you believe in the wind that blows
   You can't see it, so who knows
   You can feel the wind on your face
   The same is true of God, in any case.
   
   The same is true with God you know
   You can't see him but if you follow
   The teachings laid out in the Bible
   You will feel His love, like a disciple.
   
   This is a story about a man
   Who had a short lifespan
   But what he did with his time
   We couldn't imagine in our prime.
   
   What will happen when you die?
   Up to heaven do you think you will fly?
   God gives us all a choice
   And He gives us all a voice.
   
   Read the Bible - a great self-help book,
   Take some time and take a look.
   Investigate, discover with an open mind
   Don't close your mind and be blind.
   
   I want to see you in Heaven someday
   It will be a place we want to stay
   But to get there you must believe
   And Jesus you will receive.




Heaven Poems



2. The Bible
   by John Quincy Adams
   
   The Bible is not to be read once,
   twice, or thrice through,
   and then laid aside,
   but to be read in small portions of
   one or two chapters, every day;
   and never to be intermitted,
   unless by some overruling necessity.
   In whatever light we regard the Bible,
   whether with reference to revelation,
   to history, or to morality,
   it is our invaluable and inexhaustible
   mine of knowledge and virtue.

3. Faithfulness Of God
   by C. H. Spurgeon
   
   It is the everlasting faithfulness of God
   that makes a Bible promise
   “exceeding great and precious."
   
   Human promises are often worthless.
   Many a broken promise has left a, broken heart.
   But since the world was made God has
   never broken a single promise made
   to one of His trusting children.




Trust In God Poems



4. What Is Truth
   Poet: Chauncy Hare Townshend
   
   Oh, how we pine for truth! for something more
   Than husks of learning! How did ancient Greece
   Hang on the virtuous lips of Socrates,
   Turning from words more sounding to adore
   The wisdom that sent souls to their own store
   For knowledge. So let us our hearts release!
   
   'Tis time the jargon of the schools should cease, —
   Errors that rot Theology’s deep core,
   Lying at the base of things. Down, down must fall
   The glittering edifice, cemented much
   With blood, but baseless. At Truth’s simple touch
   All the vain fabric will be shattered, — all!
   
   But not the Bible! Nature there is stored,
   And God! Eternal is the Saviour’s Word!




5. Back To The Blessed Old Bible
   Poet: D. O. Teasley
   
   Back to the blessed old Bible;
   Back to the city of God;
   Back to the oneness of heaven;
   Back where the faithful have trod;
   Back from the land of confusion,
   Passing the wrecks and the creeds;
   Back to the light of the morning:
   Jesus our captain leads.
   
   Back to the blessed old Bible,
   Saints of Jehovah, rejoice;
   Jesus is calling his people
   Back to the land of their choice.
   Often our fathers have sought it
   "While we in Babel abode;
   Now we have found the fair city -
   Church of the living God.
   
   Back to the blessed old Bible,
   Leaving confusion and strife;
   Fleeing from Babel to Zion,
   Back to the joy of our life.
   Over the mountains we wandered.
   Looking in vain for the right;
   Now in the evening we've found it -
   Truth of the Gospel light.
   
   Back to the blessed old Bible;
   Back at the Master's call;
   Back to the words of our Savior,
   Loving, obeying them all;
   Never in sects to be scattered,
   Never again to do wrong:
   Unity, holiness, heaven,
   Ever shall be our song.




6. God's Chart
   by Henry Ward Beecher
   
   The Bible is God's chart for you to steer by,
   To Keep you from the bottom of the sea,
   And to show you where the harbour is,
   And how to reach it without running on rocks or bars.




Bible Verses



7. My Old Bible
   Poet: Edmund Pillifant
   
   Though the cover is worn,
   And the pages are torn,
   And though places bear traces of tears;
   Yet more precious than gold
   Is the Book, worn and old,
   That can shatter and scatter my fears.
   
   This old Book is my guide;
   'Tis a friend by my side;
   It will lighten and brighten my way;
   And each promise I find
   Soothes and gladdens my mind
   As I read it and heed it today.
   
   To this Book I will cling,
   Of its worth I will sing,
   Though great losses and crosses be mine
   For I can not despair,
   Though surrounded by care,
   While possessing this blessing Divine.




8. How Readest Thou?
   Poet: Unknown
   
   It is one thing to read the Bible through,
   Another thing to read to learn and do;
   It is one thing to read it with delight,
   And quite another thing to read it right.
   Some read it with design to learn to read,
   But to the subject pay but little heed;
   Some read it as their duty once a week,
   But no instruction from the Bible seek;
   While others read it with but little care,
   With no regard to how they read, or where.
   
   Some read it as a history to know
   How people lived three thousand years ago;
   Some read to bring themselves into repute
   By showing others how they can dispute;
   While others read because their neighbors do,
   To see how long 'twill take to read it through.
   Some read it for the wonders that are there -
   How David killed a lion and a bear;
   While others read it with uncommon care,
   But all to find some contradiction there.
   
   Some read as though it did not speak to them,
   But to the people at Jerusalem;
   One reads it as a book of mysteries,
   And won't believe the very thing he sees;
   One reads with father's specs upon his head,
   And sees the thing just as his father did;
   Another reads through Campbell or through Scott,
   And thinks it means exactly what they thought.
   Some read to wrangle for their creed,
   Hence understand but little what they read;
   For every doctrine in the Book they bend
   To make it suit that all-important end.
   
   Some people read, as I have often thought,
   To teach the Book instead of being taught;
   And some there are who read it out of spite.
   I fear there are but few who read it right.
   So many people in these latter days
   Have read the Bible in so many ways
   That few can tell which system is the best,
   For every party contradicts the rest.
   But read it prayerfully, and you will see,
   Though men do contradict, God's words agree;
   For what the early Bible prophets wrote,
   We find that Christ and his apostles quote.
   So, trust no creed that trembles or offends
   At any word the blessed Bible sends.




Poems about Gods Blessings



9. We Are
   by Billy Graham
   
   We are the Bibles the world is reading;
   We are the creeds the world is needing;
   We are the sermons the world is heeding.




10. Books Of The Bible
    Poet: Unknown
    
    In Genesis the world was made;
    In Exodus the march is told;
    Leviticus contains the law;
    In Numbers are the tribes enrolled;
    In Deuteronomy again
    We're urged to keep God's law alone;
    And these five works of Moses make
    The oldest writings that are known.
    
    Brave Joshua to Canaan leads;
    In Judges oft the Jews rebel;
    We read of David's name in Ruth
    And First and Second Samuel;
    In First and Second Kings we read
    How bad the Hebrew state became;
    In First and Second Chronicles
    Another history of the same;
    In Ezra captive Jews return,
    And Nehemiah builds the wall;
    Queen Esther saves her race from death
    These books "historical" we call.
    
    In Job we read of patient faith;
    The Psalms are David's songs of praise
    The Proverbs are to make us wise;
    Ecclesiastes next portrays
    How fleeting earthly pleasures are;
    The Song of Solomon is all
    About the love of Christ: and these
    Five books "devotional" we call.
    
    Isaiah tells of Christ to come,
    While Jeremiah tells of woe,
    And in his Lamentations mourns
    The Holy City's overthrow;
    Ezekiel speaks of mysteries
    And Daniel foretells kings of old;
    Rosea calls men to repent;
    In Joel blessings are foretold;
    
    Amos tells of wrath, and Edom
    Obadiah's sent to warn;
    While Jonah shows that Christ should die,
    And Micah where he should be born.
    In Nahum, Nineveh is seen;
    In Habakkuk, Chaldea's guilt;
    In Zephaniah, Judah's sins;
    In Haggai, the temple built;
    Zechariah speaks of Christ,
    And Malachi, of John his sign:
    The "prophets" number seventeen,
    And all the books are thirty-nine.
    
    Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and John,
    Tell what Christ did in every place;
    Acts shows what the apostles did,
    And Romans how we're saved by grace;
    Corinthians instructs the church;
    Galatians shows of faith alone;
    Ephesians, true love; and in
    Philippians God's grace is shown;
    Colossians tells us more of Christ,
    And Thessalonians of the end;
    In Timothy and Titus both
    Are rules for pastors to attend;
    Philemon Christian friendship shows;
    Then Hebrews clearly tells how all
    The Jewish law prefigured Christ;
    And these Epistles are by Paul.
    
    James shows that faith by works must live,
    And Peter urges steadfastness,
    While John exhorts to Christian love,
    For those who have it God will bless;
    Jude shows the end of evil men,
    And Revelation tells of heaven:
    This ends the whole New Testament,
    And all the books are twenty-seven.




11. Holy Scripture
    Poet: Unknown
    
    Who has this Book and reads it not
    Doth God himself despise;
    Who reads but understandeth not,
    His soul in darkness lies.
    
    Who understands, but savors not,
    He finds no rest in trouble;
    Who savors but obeyeth not,
    He hath his judgment double.
    
    Who reads this Book, who understands,
    Doth savor and obey,
    His soul shall stand at God's right hand,
    In the great judgment-day.




Poems about God



12. Every Day A Little
    Poet: Maria Frink
    
    Every day a little knowledge.
    One fact in a day.
    How small is one fact!
    Ten years pass by.
    Three thousand six hundred and fifty facts are not a small thing.
    
    Every day a little self-denial.
    A thing that is difficult to day will be an easy thing to do
    three hundred and sixty days hence,
    if each day it shall have been repeated.
    What power of self-mastery shall he enjoy who,
    looking to God for grace,
    seeks every day to practice the grace he prays for.
    
    Every day a little helpfulness.
    We live for the good of others,
    if our living is in any sense true living.
    It is not great deeds of kindness only in which the blessing is found.
    In little deeds of "kindness," repeated every day,
    we find true happiness.
    At home, at school, in the street,
    in the neighbor's house, on the playground,
    we shall find opportunity every day for usefulness.
    
    Every day a little look into the Bible.
    One chapter a day.
    What a treasure of Bible knowledge one may acquire in ten years.
    Every day a verse committed to memory.
    What a volume in twenty-five years!




13. Faith
    Poet: Maud Frazer Jackson
    
    What if I say -
    "The Bible is God's Holy Word,
    Complete, inspired, without a flaw" -
    But let its pages stay
    Unread from day to day,
    And fail to learn therefrom God's law;
    What if I go not there to seek
    The truth of which I glibly speak,
    For guidance on this earthly way, —
    Does it matter what I say?
    
    What if I say
    That Jesus Christ is Lord divine;
    Yet fellow-pilgrims can behold
    Naught of the Master's love in me,
    No grace of kindly sympathy?
    If I am of the Shepherd's fold,
    Then shall I know the Shepherd's voice
    And gladly make his way my choice.
    We are saved by faith, yet faith is one
    With life, like daylight and the sun.
    Unless they flower in our deeds,
    Dead, empty husks are all the creeds.
    To call Christ, Lord, but strive not to obey,
    Belies the homage that with words I pay.




Poems about Faith



14. My Bible
    Poet: Edgar A. Guest
    
    And should my soul be torn with grief
    Upon my shelf I find
    A little volume, torn and thumbed,
    For comfort just designed.
    I take my little Bible down
    And read its pages o'er,
    And when I part from it I find
    I'm stronger than before.
