Read For You: Poems of Faith, Hope and Love Page 4


  On the things that we do

  While we live

  On this earth full of strife

  The path that we choose

  The sins we commit

  Will we hear them again

  In our afterlife

  Baby’s Poem

  To hear you crying in the night

  Your tiny voice filling up our home

  To share the joy of giving life

  Sweetest thing I’ve ever known

  To see you smile in the morning air

  Watch you sleeping in the sun

  Can’t begin to show how much I care

  Your life has just begun

  May all our love stay in your mind

  May all your dreams come true

  Of all the things I’ve hoped to find

  Nothing’s been more beautiful than you

  Just One More Time (The John Denver Poem)

  It was an early Sunday morning

  When I flew the Rocky Mountains

  And in the dawn of light’s first glowing

  I swear I saw your face

  Reflected on the snow caps

  On a still creek water flowing

  You smiled at life’s great master plan

  As I whispered out your name

  And did I say

  Just one more time

  Can you sing another song about the mountains

  Just one more time

  Can you hear all the voices in the wind

  Just one more time

  Can you say that this world belongs together

  Just one more time

  Just one more time

  Let us begin

  So I closed my eyes in sadness

  As I felt the sweet surrender

  How your life brought so much gladness

  To a world yet undefined

  Can you still hear the voices

  Of the children of the forest

  To live our lives in harmony

  With all that we may know

  And did I go

  Just one more time

  Can you sing another song about the mountains

  Just one more time

  Can you hear all the voices in the wind

  Just one more time

  Can you say that this world belongs together

  Just one more time

  Just one more time

  Let us begin

  Cartersville Daydreaming

  And somehow I know I’ll miss you

  Though I knew you not at all

  Your peaceful ways, your quiet dreams

  The simplicity that falls

  From a life spent chasing rainbows

  Scaling mountains, sailing tides

  A weary soul that longs for rest

  Which only Your spirit can provide

  And somehow I know I’ll miss you

  Early sunrise o’er the lake

  And the wind, she whispers through the trees

  So many journeys yet to take

  Without you…

  I. Sunrise

  Sunrise

  Over the mountains

  Makes me feel reborn

  Makes me feel new

  Sunrise

  Over the mountains

  Shows me a different life

  Reminds me of You

  I long to see the serenity of a calm, blue creek flowing

  I long to feel the gentle breeze of a cool mountain wind

  To know winter’s come with the very first snow

  It makes me want to begin my life again

  Sunrise

  Over the mountains

  Makes me feel reborn

  Is nature’s beauty reserved to so few

  It’s simplicity I cannot understand

  The creatures that live there, how can they know

  Nothing can compare to God’s great hand

  Sunrise

  Over the mountains

  Shows me a different life

  Makes me feel new

  Sunrise

  Over the mountains

  Makes me feel reborn

  Reminds me of You.

  II. Mid-Afternoon ( Have You Seen Your God Today)

  Have you seen your God today

  Oh yes, I saw Him in the waterfall

  I heard Him in the sparrow’s song

  When He whispered out my name

  Have you praised your God today

  Oh yes, I praised Him for each morning’s call

  I praised Him for the joy of all

  This world that He has gave

  Have you thanked your God today

  Oh yes, I thanked Him for the stable stall

  I thanked Him for His shepherd’s call

  For His Son who came to save

  III. Dusk (You Are Everything To Me)

  You are everything to me

  You are my sunrise and my sunset

  My mountains and my ocean

  You are the fires that warm me

  The winds which fill my sails

  Can you be everything to me

  I think you can

  You are everything to me

  You are my morning and my evenings

  My rainfall and my rainbow

  You are the angels that guide me

  The love which leads my life

  Can you be everything to me

  I think you can

  And somehow I know I’ll miss you

  Though I knew you not at all…

  In Jesus Christ (You Can Have It All)

  Who said that life would be easy

  You know, it’s not always fun

  You have to let go of your troubles

  Yesterday’s already done

  You’re searching for earthly pleasures

  Sin, it’s right there in your face

  But you’re not a permanent resident

  You know there’s a better place

  All your life, all your love

  All the dreams you’re dreaming of

  In Jesus Christ, you can have it all

  Give your fears, give your pain

  You will never be the same

  In Jesus Christ, you can have it all

  Take your place here at His table

  Rejoice in the breaking of bread

  Make yourself a new creation

  Listen and you will be fed

  All your life, all your love

  All the dreams you’re dreaming of

  In Jesus Christ, you can have it all

  Give your fears, give your pain

  You will never be the same

  In Jesus Christ, you can have it all

  Give yourself now to His Spirit

  See how it roars like the wind

  Come now and stand in His presence

  You have been born again

  Born again

  All your life, all your love

  All the dreams you’re dreaming of

  In Jesus Christ, you can have it all

  Give your fears, give your pain

  You will never be the same

  In Jesus Christ, you can have it all

  There For Me

  You’ve never left me

  And together we have weathered every storm

  And though I can’t see

  My heart is sure that there will be some more

  But I know

  You will be there for me

  In the hard times

  I realize I strive toward the prize

  In my lifetime

  I’ve sailed across the seas to paradise

  And I know

  You will be there for me

  Yes, I know

  You will be there for me

  And my God

  He took the stars down from the sky

  When I hold you close

  I see He put them in your eyes

  And the heavens know

  These simple words are true

  If God has a treasure just for me

/>   It’s you

  You have been faithful

  In days gone by you’ve never left my side

  I am so grateful

  Yesterday has died but tomorrow is alive

  And I know

  You will be there for me

  I thank God

  You will be there for me
