Poems about Christ

Lord there is no one like you

No one make me feel like you do

My soul longs for You to be near

You give me joy and remove my fear

I worship You with all my heart

My desire is to be with You and never part

I dedicate to You every breath I take 

You are part of every moment I’m awake

My hands are raised for Your Glory 

You’re the author of my story

Your presence is what I seek

Without You I would be so weak

Your children will rise up and sing

Glory to you Lord the King of kings

They’ll say hosanna to the great I Am

Praises to the one and only Lamb

There’s nothing that compares to Jesus name

No one comes close to His claim to fame

He lived to die to set all of us free

So we could live with Him in eternity

Jesus Christ is the name above all others

It brings us all together as sisters and brothers

At the mention of His name the winds obey 

And the storms die down to make a better day

Jesus is the sweetest name in the universe

It tears down strongholds and breaks the curse

It’s more precious than all of the silver and gold

He’s been called upon by young and old 

At the mention of His name every knee shall bow

So the time to accept Him into your life is now

He’ll come in and sweeten your existence 

And fill you full of His loving presence

Thank you Lord for my beating heart

And for the fact that You will never part

I’m grateful for my opened eyes 

And that Your word never lies

Thank You Lord for the hair on my head

And for allowing me to get out of bed

Another day You meet my needs

You never fail to always feed

Spending time with You is truly a pleasure

You are my prize You are my treasure

I dedicate my life to only you 

You’re the way the life and the truth

I can never repay all that You’ve done

With You in my life I’ve already won

I love You Lord You are so fine 

You saved my soul just in time

 Jim Shanabarger

Jesus You are my safeguard

In the house or in the yard

You protect me from all harm

You keep me calm in all alarm

Though destruction is everywhere around

You keep me planted on solid ground

Through the devastation of the storm

You have my back and keep me warm 

When times of fear come creeping in

You replace my trembling with a grin

When I feel like I’m falling in a hole

You let me know You’re in control

I’ve come to depend on You so much

You always have that special touch

In all of my times of need and despair

You rescue me and show You care

 Jim Shanabarger

Jesus, Jesus my precious Jesus

You died on the cross so You could save us

You are the one I love even more

Yes it is You I truly adore

One fabulous day You will return

When the depth of Your love I will finally learn

You’ll snatch us up in the twinkling of an eye

We all will meet You high in the sky

You’ll take us through the galaxy and the universe

Where finally in Your kingdom we’ll be immersed

It will be a tremendous place to spend all eternity

So amazed by Your presence and all the harmony

I look forward to this event with much desire

Of Your eternal love I will never grow tired

I am truly blessed above all measure

Just spending time with my awesome Savior

 Jim Shanabarger

Goodness and mercy knocks at your door

They are for everyone rich or poor

God desires to shower you with His love

That He sent to you from up above

From heaven He sent Jesus Christ

To die for you and pay the ultimate price

But he didn’t stay dead in the grave

He rose again so you could be saved

He wants you to open your heart

He will come in and never part

So ask Jesus into your heart today

Please do it now and don’t delay

 Jim Shanabarger

Father, Father there’s so much to do

I want to get it all done just for You 

The heart is willing but the mind is weak

A millennium of things to do in only a week

There’s fasting and praying and reading Your word

And telling people the things You have preferred

Announcing the second coming of Jesus Christ

Listening to the Holy Spirit who’s always right

It's time to get busy doing the Lord's work

bringing more people into God's  network

So it’s off to start in deed and writings too

Let me start by saying Father I adore you
