Christian Valentine Poems

My Valentine, Sweet Love of mine

You’re a blessing from the Lord.

I ask the Lord to be our center

So I can share His love with Thee.

I thank the Lord for the love you give

It sends joy my way every day.

For you’ve asked the Lord, same as me

To be First in our union of three.

How precious you are my Valentine.
You mean so much to me.
The only love greater than yours,
Is the love our Lord gives to me.

I share His love with you today,
For you share your love with me.
The love you receive from the Lord above,
No greater love could there ever be.

Our love is full of joy and peace,
And  passion on Valentine’s Day,
I feel so very  thankful,
That our love is blessed by He.

One who loved me as sweetly as you do.

The man that I would love.
For I see the love you give to me,
Comes from our Lord above.

Our beloved Savior is our strength,
A wondrous guide indeed.
He gives the joy and peace and comfort,
That makes our love hearts sing.

A Sympathy Poem for Spring

The New Life of Spring

When a life here on earth has ended,
Great sadness fill our days.
But life here on earth must continue,
So bare when a loved one has passed away

Pray for the grace to move forward,
For a little joy to brighten each day.
Know that the Lord has all the power,
He will carry you along your way.

As the trees look bare from a distance,
Happiness seems miles away.
But you only need to walk up closer
To see the buds sprouting on a new Spring day.

Christ left this life upon two branches,
And darkness covered the land.
But on the third day, He rose anew,
Into the light of a new Spring day.

So let the new life of Spring delight you,
The love of the Lord fill each day He has made.
And know in your heart the warm Spring breeze,
Is the Lord caressing your tears away.

Christian New Year Poems by Authors Unknown

Just One Request

Dear Master for this coming year
Just one request I bring:
I do not pray for happiness,
Or any earthly thing—
I do not ask to understand
The way Thou leadest me,
But this I ask: Teach me to do
The thing that pleaseth Thee.

I want to know Thy guiding voice,
To walk with Thee each day.
Dear Master make me swift to hear
And ready to obey.
And thus the year I now begin
A happy year will be—
If I am seeking just to do
The thing that pleaseth Thee.

His Unfailing Presence

Another year I enter
Its history unknown;
Oh, how my feet would tremble
To tread its paths alone!
But I have heard a whisper,
I know I shall be blest;
"My presence shall go with thee,
And I will give thee rest."

What will the New Year bring me?
I may not, must not know;
Will it be love and rapture,
Or loneliness and woe?
Hush! Hush! I hear His whisper;
I surely shall be blest;
"My presence shall go with thee,
And I will give thee rest."

RECIPE FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness,
hate, and jealousy.
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or
thirty-one different parts,
but don’t make up the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.
Mix well into each day one part of faith,
one part of patience, one part of courage,
and one part of work.
Add to each day one part of hope,
faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.
Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation,
and one good deed.
Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a smile,
and serve with quietness, unselfishness,
and cheerfulness.
You’re bound to have a happy new year.

A Christian Christmas Poem

As soon as I've consumed the family Thanksgiving dinner, gone Black Friday shopping with my sister and traveled back home to the Poconos where I live, I am flooded with Christmas memories and begin planning this year's Christmas celebrations. I couldn't help but write this Christian Christmas poem...

Christmas Memories

I have many Christmas memories.
Decorations abound, inside and out,
A turkey dinner and presents beneath the tree.

But greatest of all are the memories of,
All the ways in which my mother celebrated
The wonder of Jesus’ life with her family.

She set up the nativity scene with great care,
Then she read the story of Jesus’ birth
While we sat and listened at her feet.

On Christmas Eve we sang songs to celebrate Jesus’ birth.
On Christmas Day we thanked Jesus for coming into our hearts.
Throughout the season, we celebrated Jesus as our Savior.

But there was one Christmas memory that perplexed me.
It was the tears I saw sparkling in my mother’s eyes,
When she brought the true meaning of Christmas to life.

But one day the Lord whispered the answer in my heart.
They were her tears of love and thankfulness,
For Jesus and His Father in Heaven, and all of us.

So my favorite Christmas memories, are memories of love.
God’s love for me, Christ’s love for me, my mother’s love for me.
The love I take and pass on, for my son’s own Christmas memories.

A Christian Wedding Poem

Our Pure Love

We ask the Lord for many things
But greatest of them all,
Is one to love who loves one back
Second only to our Lord.

Pure in body, heart and soul
We join our hands in prayer.
We ask the Lord for His grace
On the promise that we make.

Our jewelry is just a symbol
Of the grace our Lord bestows,
A cherished token of our love
For one another and our Lord.

When on our wedding day
We join together forever,
We’ll light our flame of love and know
Our passion has our Lord‘s blessing.

An Inspirational Poem

The Way

Whenever my journey gets hard to bear
I turn to the Lord, He always meets me there.

Whenever my days seem to last longer
I turn to the Lord, He makes me stronger.

Whenever the hill I’m climbing seems to get steeper
I feel my Lord’s love for me growing deeper.

From the Lord I’ll never stray
For by my side, He shows me the way.

The Name of True Love

I’ve heard the name of true love,
I’ve read the name of true love,
I’ve said the name of true love,
I’ve shared the name of true love.

Kiss is not the name of true love,
Embrace is not the name of true love
Touch is not the name of true love,
Passion is not the name of true love.

True love loved me first,
True love taught me how to share love,
True love taught me how to receive love,
True love is pure love.

So what you may ask,
Is the name of true love?
The name of true love,
Is Jesus.

Hope

This morning when I woke up
And I saw the brand new day
I knew I was given another chance
To help someone today

Their troubles may be mountainous
Their hope may be fading fast
I must convince them not to give up
That they can break free from their past

Life is such a precious gift
We must choose just how we use it
For if we live life foolishly
It’s for sure that we will lose it

So today I’ll try to bring a smile
And help someone be free
For I know the one who’s suffering
Just as easily could have been me

My Child's Prayer

At night I see my little one
Kneeling by her bed,
Precious is the site I see
A wall cross above her head.

Her little hands are folded
And her little head is bent,
I wonder what her prayers may be
Within them she seems so intent.

Her little lashes kiss her cheeks
With every breath she takes,
Silent as the one before
Another prayer she makes.

I linger and I listen
Just outside her door,
Then I hear a whisper
Please God end the war.

Then I say my own prayer
Just outside her door,
Thank you for this child God
She’s a blessing and some more!
