Thin Black Road

There’s a thin black road

I have traveled many times.

It leads to peace

In so many ways.

It’s kind of hard to describe

For the road’s oft unclear.

It unfolds to me

Like a lovely gift

One word at a time.

Then, music fills in the gaps,

Making worries fade away,

As unexplainable peace pours in.

There’s a thin black road

It leads me to peace.

When good or ill tidings come

To threaten my equilibrium,

I will travel that road

And return to peaceful calm.

This is the first inspirational Christian poetry collection. It’s followed by Just Like You and My Champion. The combination book, Made to Praise, contains all three collections.

Thin Black Road: And Other Inspirational Christian Poems

My Champion

You are Lord in Heaven

Lord on this Earth.

Master and Maker,

King and Creator,

Father of all things,

And lover of my soul.

I have an enemy.

He knows how to hurt me.

He knows what I want to hear.

He knows how to twist my wants,

Make me think they’re needs.

Help me drown out his voice.

Lord, be my victory,

Be my champion.

Show me Your glory.

Make me part of your story.

I want to know You better.

Open my ears, flood my mind.

Teach my heart to hear You and only You.

My Champion: And Other Inspirational Christian Poems

Just Like You

You’re my hope. You’re my hero.

You know all I am and what I can be.

Take this hard heart and make it like yours.

Holy Father, I need your heart.

You’re my heart. You’re my hero.

Let my life reflect your love.

Give me eyes to see past walls.

Give me ears to hear heart cries.

Give me hands that heal in your name.

O Holy Father, I want to be just like you.

You’re my Father. You’re my hero.

May my spirit walk with you.

Train my mind to see the lost ones.

Tune my ears to hear your voice.

May my soul shine with your light.

Dear Holy Father, I want to be just like you.

You’re my light. You’re my hero.

You know all I am and what I will be.

Take this one soul and make it like yours. 

Dear Dad, I want to be just like you.
