Welcome. These are some of the attempts at verse that I have made over the years. I trust that they are to the glory of the Lord Jesus - and that putting them here is to His glory too. I have now posted most that I have written at least once but continue in case a new audience finds new blessing. Occasionally I throw in some other verse. Comment are welcome.

Carried our sorrows
As their mass had bowed
Our hearts and our backs, He hath
Carried our sorrows.

Men hid their faces
The Lord of glory
Displayed the glory of God:
Men hid their faces.

The Catch
I don't know if you saw this story I responded with this:
They could not force the door. As the fire blazed
The boys were locked within. So the three ran
Down to their friend who desperately gazed
Up at the boys' high window. Their last plan
Now was to catch the children as they fell
Forty-five feet. Braced for the falls to impact,
They huddled; and, through mercy, it befell
That they, though wounded, held the boys, intact.
But one Man broke my fall; the Lord was bruised
For my transgressions; for by no great act
Of power, but through the One whom men abused,
Now I am in the Saviour's arms, intact.
And if you are to be redeemed you must
Fall to the arms of Christ in simple trust.
