Poetry About Jesus and Salvation 

Asking And Receiving

Prayer is asking God

and the answer is receiving

When we ask the Lord

expecting and believing

God can do any miracle

beyond our wildest dreams

even when the odds are against us,

or so it seems

Many things we could have if we asked

so our joy would be full

When we ask the Lord and receive,

rich blessings will flood our soul

Anything big or small God will give us

when we pray in Jesus name and seek

He's always there to hear our prayers

and help the burdened and weak

God can move any mountain

with his great power and might

and when things look bleak to us

he can make them turn out right

Nothing is too hard for God,

he can do anything anytime

When we are poor and needy,

is the time our faith will climb

John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think . . .

God Answers Prayer

God answers our prayers

not because we pray so good

but because He is a great God

and answers like He said He would

It's not flowery words or phrasing

that gets His attention to hear

but a sincere heart that seeks Him

is when He draws near

God listens to all our groanings

and knows our every need

He hears the cry of the poor and needy

and with compassion will take heed

Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Crying To God

The best part about crying

is knowing that God hears

He comforts those who mourn

and dries away their tears

God is ever near the brokenhearted

and grief stricken

He will revive us

and with His spirit quicken

When we call on Him

he promised He would answer

as He hears our humble plea

with sweet consolation and reassure

He’ll lead us safely on

and show the way

to give grace through every trial

and keep us in His hand always

Isaiah 30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

Prayers And Supplications

Prayer is asking God for blessings to bring

and supplication is begging for the same thing,

just to keep knocking at the door

until the answer comes and blessings outpour,

prayer that will not take no for an answer

knowing God is listening for sure,

that he cares when we beg and plead,

sees our heart cry and knows our need,

aware of our deepest longings and desires

and of hearing our petitions never tires,

even as Jacob wrestled with the angel all night,

refusing to give in or give up the fight

saying. "I will not let thee go except thou bless me,"

God answering him and from his heavy burden set free.

Psalm 116:1 I love the LORD because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
