Best Prayer Poems
The Blessings of PrayerLike a gazelle springing from left to right
Your prayers come winging through perilous night
Making swift haste to my ill beating heart.
I was amazed at how many took part,
So deeply moved, there are tears in my eyes.
Dark thunderous clouds have moved to clear skies.
My gratitude...

My Prayer For Today
My Prayer For Today
7/22/2019
Written: by Miracle Man
Lord, guard my tongue in things I say,
Let your son Jesus be my light today.
Let each of my thoughts rest solely on HIM,
From the brightening hour until growing dim.
Then at such time when I become tempted,
Just render those thoughts,...

Let her dance and sing another sweet tune

Healing Power of the Drumyour labored breathing
called out to me
and in my soul I knew
what needed to be done
I reached for the drum
to summon the spirits
called out to ancestors
and anyone who’d listen
gently tapping to the rhythm
of our beating hearts
united as one in a prayer
released to the universe
filled the silence...

Thats When I Fall Down Upon My Knees, Song VersionUpdated lyrics May 19,2020 to flow better.
THAT’S WHEN I FALL DOWN UPON MY KNEES
There’s no way-
I’ll see another sunrise
My hope is gone-
as I'm contemplating my life
Prospects are bleak-
that’s just the way I’m feeling
My strength is gone-
and my will to live is fading
Here...

Giving Godly GraceGrace-full is the lily born of virtue’s milk
Inspiring me with petals pure in my hour of need -
Vow and vim of passion vivid and empowering as I
Imagine the strength of soulful surrender while three
Nails were driven into a suffering so great -- selflessly You
Gave...

Cry of the CityWe will walk then, you and I
When daylight shuts her weary eye;
Down the streets where beggars sleep
And drug crazed addicts spend their keep.
On streets that wind through thick and thin
Past monuments of broken sin
The painted whores who smile a lot
A rejected child that time forgot.

If God Gives Me TomorrowIf God gives me tomorrow
I'll try to stop crying
unlike this dark night
where I fear that I'm dying
If He gives me tomorrow
I'll let go of today
I'll hold onto the good things
and the rest throw away
In the grass I'll walk barefoot
and make friends with a bird
A deaf...

To You AloneI cannot comprehend our great Creator’s mind,
how every galaxy he perfectly designed -
how every atom in the universe is his,
ordered and known by him, as all creation is.
No eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard,
no mind ever conceived the secrets known ...

I Saw a Praying MantisI saw a praying mantis as I went about my day
The brightest green, the coolest form
and I just had to say
“Please tell me of your prayer” He answered in his mantis style
“I pray my friends are happy
and they wear the nicest smile”
“I pray for those...

Why Must I CryI come to the garden along, while the dew is still fresh
on the meadows. Early in the morning do the bird's sing
praises of roses and peddles. I cry, because there is no
refuge finally from the pain.
Yet long ago,...

Thank You, LordEvery hour

Every minute

Thank you, Lord

For my heart

City Frozen ColdVerse 1
His coat is torn his
shoes are thin
The cold cuts deep beneath his
skin
Little boy coughs small
hands that shake
Winter's breath is much to hard
To hard to take.
Verse 2
Sidewalk echoes silent
prayers
People pass but no one
cares
Cardboard kingdom borrowed
time
Every step is...
