Faith Like A Mustard Seed
- Published: September 2022
What Is Faith?

in Faith Poems

It's a feeling
That brings certainty
It's the knowing
For all eternity

It's a feeling
That brings certainty
It's the knowing
For all eternity

It's not held in the human hand
Nor seen with the human eye
It's a deeper knowing
Like a rainbow in the sky

Like a mustard seed
Our faith grows in Him
Sung unto the Lord
In a lovely hymn

A tiny mustard seed
Nurtured by love and grace
Looking deeper for the Lord
Seeking His perfect face

Faith in every day
In every living breath
Lasting your lifetime
Until your earthy death

Pray man's faithfulness
Shines the glory of God
Our reward lays beyond
Earthly steps to be trod

A Child Is Born

The Beginning Of Great Joy

in Christmas Poems

Prayers and songs sung
To praise His holy name
A nativity scene began
The scene we've come to claim

Prayers and songs sung
To praise His holy name
A nativity scene began
The scene we've come to claim

He lay cradled in his mother's arms
She gazed into his face
Tiny baby born
To save the human race

Shepherds came to see
Born in a filthy cattle shed
A manger he lay swaddled
Straw for his tender head

From the womb to the tomb
He came to walk the land
Cobbled streets and hilltops
Led by His Father's hand

So very precious is the gift
More than frankincense, myrrh, and gold
Lasting through eternity's days
God's glory to behold

STEPS OF FAITH

We often feel overwhelmed and rightly so in the world we live in.
How many times have we been caught up in things that we can't control , but find we try.

Good had the calm, the love, the promise of much more than we can comprehend.
Simply believing in Him is the first step.

Keep your eyes on me child
Reach out for my hand
Take steps in great faith
Follow my footsteps in the sand

Keep your eyes on me child
Reach out for my hand
Take steps in great faith
Follow my footsteps in the sand

I'm with you every step
The road ahead with steps to tread
Winding and narrow is the way
Keep your eyes on me, be spirit lead

Keep your eyes on me child
I'll pick you up when you fall
You are mine
You've heard me call

You are stonger with my love
Child walk with me across the sands
I'm always with you
Follow my footsteps in the sands

PRAYERS OF FRAIL FAITH

We pray for an immediate answer, a quick fix.
God hears our prayers and answers them in time and over time.
His response is a slow travelling of the plan he has for us.
Our impatience leads us to think that God is deaf.

With a listening heart
Every heartfelt prayer
To our sovereign king
Love is open to declair

With a listening heart
Every heartfelt prayer
To our sovereign king
Love is open to declair

He hears every crying word
He wipes away the tears
Gods knows every prayer
He knows our every fear

Our frail faith is like a seed ,
Plant it in his mission field
Hold his guiding hand child
Against the enemy He will wield

His grace ,his love his truth
A passion of a farthers heart
He tore the veil apart
We're under his wings rampart

Cry out on bending knees
He'll hear your every prayer
Lift your hands unto him child
Nothing else compares

SIGN POST

We live in a world filled with hurt, disappointment, deceit, betrayal and the list of unkind things rolls on.
Uncertainty and the fact that we don't have the courage on our own is the most powerful force that will ever come into.
Jesus faced those things in his ministry and he laid down his life, to free us from out sin.
This poem was inspired by a sermon that was preached recently in my church.
The message was about the broken sign post in our lives that lead us away.

Our world is labeled
With words so curt
Spoken words aimed
To wound and hurt

Our world is labeled
With words so curt
Spoken words aimed
To wound and hurt

Jesus set injustice
To right from wrong
His resurrection
Brings peace that's strong

On that rugged cross
He gave everything
We are the ones to carry
The deep love Jesus brings

A small step to take
A stone makes a great ripple
Jesus reached out friend
He restored a cripple

A lamp shines it's light
To show a just way
Be near us Jesus
These words we pray

In His image we are made
Lead like a sign post
With hearts and hands
Lead towards our heavenly host

Where the ocean meets the sky
The setting colours stun
Breathe in the serenity
The scene was made by one

Where the ocean meets the sky
The setting colours stun
Breathe in the serenity
The scene was made by one

The very breeze he created.
It's soothing cooling touch
Sand sculptured between your toes
Lord than you very much

Be with my disquieted soul
Your peaceful breath I breathe
My heart yearns for you Lord
My soul longs to receive

Lift me Lord close to you
My hearts voice shall sing
Fill me oh Lord
The one is the King

My simple prayer I'll always pray
For a kind heart and caring hand
Acknowledging His truth and grace
Across the rippled sand

God's Love Gives Us Certanty

in Religious Poems

We live in a funny world
Filled with trouble and strife
Challenging everything
In our Christian life

We live in a funny world
Filled with trouble and strife
Challenging everything
In our Christian life

We know what's black and white
And there's right and wrong
It's such a turbulent world
That God seems all but gone

Caught in a whirlwind
Of uncertainty
Our God has given us
A sense of stability

The truth is written
In the words He left behind
Written centuries ago
To give sight to the blind

Fumbling around in darkness
Of humanity's sin
Bombarded by the enemy
The truth lies within

Our Saviour of our sins
Came and walked the earth
For God so loved the world
Jesus gave us His holy worth

Shout out your Saviour's name
He is the truth and the light
Our sins are forgiven
In His blood to make things right

His promise is our legacy
Unshaken is Heaven's gate
Never be defeated
It's an unshakable debate

Raise your voice and praise Him
For all your life is worth
God gave us His only son
In a baby's birth

Embrace Him with all your heart
Our broken world needs restoration
Don't be silenced, share His love
Evangelize in your nation

The Greatest Gift Ever Given

in Religious Poems

God of glory
Majesty
Born and died
To set me free

God of glory
Majesty
Born and died
To set me free

They buried him
In a borrowed tomb
Fools thought they'd sent
Him to his doom

Three days on the morning
Away the stone rolled
Empty was the tomb
Just as ancients told

He's not there
The angels said
Go and tell everyone
Jesus is not dead

Fear in the hearts
Of his friends
Jesus told them all
This is not the end

The resurrection, friends
Is the greatest gift
A sacrifice Jesus made
From sins to lift

No burden on our hearts
He has set us free
God's amazing grace
Washes over me

The Lamb Who Came To Save Us

in Religious Poems

He lay in a manger
She gazed into his face
A mothers love abounds in her heart
The infant will take his place

He lay in a manger
She gazed into his face
A mothers love abounds in her heart
The infant will take his place

To a son she had given birth
In a filthy cattle shed
Swaddling cloth wrapped him
So the wise men said

Worshiped was this little one
The precious lamb was born
He'd be destined to serve mankind
Beyond the veil torn

The stone hearted would despise
The lion and the lamb
They would be in denial
He is the great I Am

From the womb he was nursed
In a borrowed tomb he lay
His farther led his ministry
He wept, he loved , each day

Go beyond the heartfelt grief
Of our saviour on the cross
His beaten bloodied body
The crucifixion is not a loss

The heavenly angles sing hallelujah
Arisen is our sovereign King
In a borrowed tomb
The lamb gave us everything

A Precious Gift For Mankind

in Christmas Poems

Angels came to say
A babe was born this night
Follow yonder star
Shepherds in delight

Angels came to say
A babe was born this night
Follow yonder star
Shepherds in delight

Lowly cattle shed
She gazed into his face
A tiny baby born
To save the human race

Precious gifts
Frankincense, myrrh, and gold
Wise men adorned him
A wonder to behold

His ministry led the way
With twelve friends in three years
He died on that bloody cross
He brought the world to tears

The lamb came to save us
To bring us such great hope
His love touched mankind heart
The prayer, the power, the scope

The first Christmas morn
Was the very beginning toward the end
Leading to the wonderful time
For Jesus to descend
