Jesus Is
Poetry Selections




Jesus Is

Jesus is the sweetest word to fall upon my ear.
The sunshine living in me that is brighter every year.
The strength I need to carry every burden that I feel.
Reality within a world where very little's real.

Jesus is a name as soft as velvet summer breeze.
A whisper of ecstatic prayer when I am on my knees.
A total new experience of heart and soul and mind.
The treasure I am sorry that it took so long to find.

Jesus is the answer when I'm lying sick in bed.
Or when the devil finds a space and creeps inside my head.
Always strong and never failing when we call His name.
From the very dawn of time He's always been the same.

Jesus means to never fear whatever trial may come.
The power to cast out the spirit of the deaf and dumb.
And charge all demons to depart from every human living.
He shows the beauty we can know when we begin forgiving.

Jesus more than anything has borne our grief and shame.
Humiliated, scorned, and beaten when we were to blame.
We never could deserve that gift received from God above.
The blood of Jesus shed for us, the perfect gift of love.

Jesus breathe it, pray it, say it, o'er and o'er again.
Master, Savior, King of kings, and yet He calls us friend.
Greater love has never been nor evermore will be.
And we've been blessed to live with Him throughout eternity.

C. R. Lord

His name shall be called
Wonderful, Counselor,
The Mighty God, The
Everlasting Father,the
Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6
