Our Poetry

Words of Faith

Poetry is a beautiful way to express faith, hope, love, struggle and our relationship with God. Our Poetry provides a space for Christian poets to share words that encourage, inspire, challenge and bring comfort to others.

Whether your poem is a heartfelt prayer, a reflection on Scripture, a personal testimony, or simply words inspired by your walk with Christ, we would love to hear from you.

Our poetry can speak to the heart in ways that ordinary words sometimes cannot. Through creativity and faith, a few carefully chosen words can remind someone that they are not alone and that God is always present.

Your words may be exactly what someone needs to hear today.

When God Is Near

When shadows fall and night seems long,
And you can barely find a song,
Remember, child, you’re not alone,
For God is near, and He has known.

He knows the tears you cannot show,
The hidden pain, the fears below.
He hears the prayers you cannot say,
And walks beside you every day.

When mountains rise and hope feels small,
His faithful hand will never fall.
When you are weak and cannot stand,
Find shelter in His loving hand.

For Christ has walked where sorrow lies,
He knows our tears, our fears, our cries.
He bore the cross, He paid the cost,
To save the broken and the lost.

So lift your eyes beyond today,
Trust in the One who knows the way.
Though storms may rage and winds may blow,
His love will never let you go.

And when at last your journey ends,
Beyond this world where sorrow bends,
You’ll see the Saviour face to face,
And dwell forever in His grace.

So walk by faith when you can’t see,
Hold tightly to His promise true.
For every step, through joy and pain,
The Lord who loves you stays the same.

When I Stray

When I wander from Your presence, Lord,
And choose a distant, winding road,
When I forget Your gentle voice
And try to bear my heavy load,

You do not turn Your face away,
Nor leave me lost and all alone;
Instead, You watch with patient love,
And wait until I journey home.

Like the father in the story told,
Who watched the horizon every day,
You stand with arms stretched open wide,
Longing for me when I stray.

Though I may stumble, fall, and fail,
Though shame may whisper, “Stay away,”
Your mercy speaks a louder truth:
“My child, come back. I’m here today.”

You never force me to return,
Nor bind my feet to make me stay;
You give me grace to choose Your path
And welcome me when I obey.

The road back home may seem so long,
Yet every step You help me take;
And when I finally reach Your arms,
You celebrate for mercy’s sake.

For Your love is deeper than my sin,
Your kindness greater than my pride;
And when I come back to Your heart,
I find You’ve never left my side.

So when I stray, I will remember
That Your faithfulness remains the same;
For Jesus, You are always waiting,
Calling me softly by my name.

“Come to Me,” I hear You say,
“My child, I love you still today.”
And there I find amazing grace—
The Saviour waiting in His place.
