At times the Christian life can be a difficult journey. Our trust in God may waver, but his
faithfulness never falters. These original Christian poems about faith are meant to
inspire you with hope and trust in the Lord. Allow these words of truth to rebuild your
faith as you put your confidence in the God of the impossible.
Christian Poems About Faith

"No Mistakes" is an original Christian poem about walking in faith by Lenora

McWhorter.

It urges believers to hang on to hope through every struggle and trial.

No Mistakes

When my hopes fade

And my dreams die.
And I find no answer
By asking why.

I just keep on trusting

And hang on to my faith.
Because God is just
He never makes mistakes.

Should the storms come

And trials I must face.
When I find no solution
I rest in God's grace.

When life seems unfair

And more than I can take.
I look up to the Father
He never makes mistakes.

God sees our struggles

And every bend in the road.
But no mistake is ever made
Cause He weighs every load.

--Lenora McWhorter

"Life's Daily Doses" reminds us to take one day at a time. God's grace will meet us and
God's mercy will renew us each new day.

Life's Daily Doses

Life is measured in daily doses

Of trials and pleasures each.
Day by day grace is dispensed
To meet our immediate needs.

Comfort comes to the weary

We find that which we seek.
A bridge is built at the river
And power is given to the weak.

One day's load we have to bear

As we travel on life's way.
Wisdom is given for the occasion
And strength to equal each day.

We are never required to stagger

Under tomorrow's heavy load.
We journey one day at a time
As we travel life's rugged road.

God's mercy is new every morning

And His faithfulness is sure.
God perfects all that concerns us
And by our faith, we will endure.

--Lenora McWhorter

"Broken Pieces" is a poem about restoration. God specializes in healing fragmented

lives and using them for a glorious purpose.

Broken Pieces

If you are broken by life trials

and weary from life's defeats.
If you have been badly battered
and have no joy or peace.

Give God your broken pieces

so He will mold them back in place.
He can make them better than before
with a touch of His sweet grace.

If your dreams have been shattered

after much struggle and pain.
Even if your life seems hopeless
God can restore you again.

God can take broken pieces

and He can make them whole.
It matters not how badly broken
God has the power to restore.

So we are never without hope

no matter the shape we are in.
God can take our fragmented lives
and put them together again.

So if you're broken beyond measure

and you don't know what to do.
God specializes in broken things
so His glory can shine through.

--Lenora McWhorter

"Stand In Faith" is an original Christian poem by Evangelist Johnnye V. Chandler. It

encourages Christians to trust in the Lord and stand in faith knowing God will do what
he promised in his Word.

Stand In Faith

Stand in faith
Even when you can’t see your way
Stand in faith
Even when you feel like you can’t face another day
Stand in faith
Even when the tears want to flow from your eyes
Stand in faith
Knowing that our God will always provide
Stand in faith
Even when you feel that all hope is gone
Stand in faith
Knowing that He is always there for you to lean on
Stand in faith
Even when you feel like giving up
Stand in faith
Because He is there ... saying, "Just look up"
Stand in faith
Even in those times you feel so all alone
Stand in faith
Hold on and be strong, for He is still on the throne
Stand in faith
Even when it’s hard to believe
Stand in faith
Knowing that He can change your situation, suddenly
Stand in faith
Even in those times you feel it’s hard to pray
Stand in faith
And believe that He has already made the way
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
So stand in faith
Because you already have the victory!

--Evangelist Johnnye V. Chandler

"We Have the Victory" is an original Christian poem by Mike Shugart It is a celebratory
reminder that Jesus Christ has won the victory over sin and death.

We Have the Victory

God's heavenly chorus

Proclaims before us
That Jesus Christ is Lord!
Forever is He.
Before history,
All things were made by His Word.
From lowest of depths
To highest of heights,
And breadth of land and sea,
The songs are sung
Of the battle He won.
We have the Victory!

--Mike Shugart

This responsive poem was written for Night 5 at Spring Harvest 2012. It
approaches the topic of our unity and diversity as the Body and Bride of
Christ. You can use the PowerPoint to allow people to join in the response at
the end of each verse - a good symbol of unity! As poetry, it deserves to be
read meaningfully. You can bring out the humour in some of the lines, but also
the sadness of some of the others. We let it go into a time of sung worship at
Spring Harvest, but it could also come at the end of a service.
We are many,
God's great diversity,
yet we are one in Christ.

Different faces,
different races,
yet we are one in Christ.
Butchers, bakers,
website makers,
bankers, tailors,
teachers, sailors,
yet we are one in Christ.

Fathers, mothers,
sisters, brothers,
single, married,
broken, carried,
yet we are one in Christ.

The happy, the clappy,

the barely out of nappies,
the ancient, the modern,
the famous, the forgotten,
yet we are one in Christ.

Some hopeful, some hopeless,

some cope well, some cope less.
Some sure and some doubt,
some whisper, some shout,
yet we are one in Christ.

Those with abundance,

those with need,
those who are generous
or wrestle with greed,
yet we are one in Christ.

Elbows, tummies, knees and noses,

kidneys, femurs, teeth and toeses.
Some unmentionable, some protected,
some accepted, some rejected,
yet we are one in Christ.

A broken body,
torn apart,
mars God's image,
breaks God's heart.
And yet our Father knows how the end will be,
when all his kids will sing in harmony,
the bride will dazzle, her branches bloom,
so add your voice to hymn the tune
that we are one in Christ.
I Am Not Alone

© Stephanie Namm

Published: February 2011

I thought for many years I was alone

and walked a lonely path with no presence of HIM.
I could not see a reason to go on.
I was saddened when my faith disappeared.
I hurt so deeply and never wanted to accept it or show it.

For many years I cried "empty".

No one to touch, no one there to listen
and no kind soul to take me and make me whole again.

I waited and waited but never spoke to HIM.

Why?
I will never know why I chose a path so lonely without HIM.
All I had to do is ask HIM for help
and he would have reached down and grabbed my soul.

Well the time was not right

and we all know that you cannot force the Holy Spirit into your life.

As I helped others with their healing for years and tried to guide them to his light,
I finally decided it was my time.
I finally called out begging for HIS presence.
For years I called and begged for HIM.
I need you more than ever;
please show me you exist. T
hen one low day I screamed for help
as I could not take the pain anymore.

I said Dear GOD in Jesus name,

please walk with me and guide me through these terrible scary times
I am witnessing right now.
I am ready to lift my life up to you.
If you really do exist please I pray show me NOW.

WOW I never felt a presence so huge before.

I felt two hands reach down to hug me,
and my soul felt so warm again.
I felt alive again.
As I pray daily, I feel love and acceptance again.
I AM NOT ALONE.
When I chose to welcome Christ back into my life and walk with HIM daily
was the day I realized I AM NOT ALONE.

When he shines down

I realize there's love, hope and faith.
I now choose to follow his word,
and I talk to him in all my life choices.

As I walk through life witnessing all the beauty of nature,

I thank GOD for the beauty of life.
I also always remember I AM NOT ALONE.
When you find GOD you are not ALONE.

"I am not alone".

Just believe

He Is There

© Yasemin Raymondo

Published: December 2008

God comes to us in quiet and simple ways.

He is there when the breeze rustles the palm fronds on a quiet, lazy, sunny afternoon.
When the raindrops softly patter on the thirsty tin roofs of the poor, he is there.

Look for him behind the laughing eyes of a child,

or smell him in blossoming jasmine flowers
on a clear and starry moonlit night.
Hold his hand when you take your love by the hand,
and feel the warmth of his tears
as you console a grieving friend in your arms.

He is there in a baby's first cry

and in the dying man's last sigh.
When the waves break on the golden sands
and the seagulls fly into the white clouds,
when the church bells ring on an Easter Sunday
inviting you to receive the sacred brad, he is there.

Taste him when you bite into the yellow ripeness of a mango
or when you quench your thirst with sweet water of a coconut.
God comes to us only in quiet and simple ways.
Never his presence in violence will you find;
never look for him in words of anger or cowardly actions.

His love and his peace surround us, above and beyond.
And only in those simple, everyday things
when we look with our eyes filled with his love
can we find him.
