Have you ever read Psalms, and felt moved to write your own? I have found writing poetry about God our Father and His son Jesus Christ to help open avenues to helping me explain why I believe what I believe. The words add color to a black and white world that is in my head and lends appreciation to the relationship I have with God. Below are a few of my latest spiritual poems. Glory, Power, and Love to our God.
I'm Awake I'm Alive by Joshua Gamradt
I look up and cry with no sound
My soul arises from the cold ground
The new life I'll lead I'm homeward bound
The lights I've sought I've finally found
-
With arms wide and our hearts near
No longer dead inside, nothing to fear
My life is His I no longer steer
No longer blind, but one of His seers
-
I'm Awake, I'm Awake, I'm Alive
The years have passed, but finally Alive
Death does not linger, My birthday with Christ
I'm Awake, I'm Awake, I'm Alive
-
My life has past, my family has grown
Death has finally reached, but I'm now born
Future not bleak and no longer forlorn
An aura of light are the cloths I adorn
-
The knowledge is real, no longer a door
I do not eat with the rich, but those who were poor
Money...possessions, no longer a need for
My heart has stopped, but my soul now soars
-
I finally see you, My God...My Christ, Your hug is endearing, the tears in Your Eyes, My friend my father, Your infinity is now shared, I'm Awake, I'm Awake, I'm Alive

A Walk with God by Joshua Gamradt
Grace is close...It finds me
Chains are gone...that bound me
My prayers are real...they're for You
My mind is clear...I love You
-
My crown not gold, My story foretold, My love unfolds, My passion behold, your souls not sold, your freedom I stowed
-
I ask this time...my eyes closed
I'm by myself...You and me
My body falls...prostrate before You
My mind made up...to follow You
-
My clothes are cast, the time has past, My life won't last, it's coming on fast, My body harassed, My love is steadfast
-
It is faith and fear...it binds me
Forgive me my sins...I plead You
Grab my hand...and guide me
I'm wholly yours...please take me
-
My life for you, Gentile and Jew, the road is for few, just follow My clues, arms spread out for you, your life now anew

Ray of Hope by Joshua Gamradt
Don't cry and you will see, don't doubt His love
It sprouts like a spring, He guides you faithfully
-
Don't cry out loud, "What's in it for me?"
In His house of grace, we are all one family
-
Raise your voices, hold your hands up high
For in belief you live forever, and you never will die
-
The true god lies in our heart, He shines in the palest sky
In our tears He's in every drop, with His feet He wipes our eyes
-
Don't fail to jump on, it is a maginficent ride
He guides us with passion, into the never ending starry sky
-
Read his words, look to others to live them too
Although ancient, meant for young and old, know they were meant for you
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Heavenly Father,
Open our hearts and voices to sing our praises to you. Help us to look deep inside our hearts to find the passion that exists with inside of us. Guide us in our lives to express our feelings about You to those who don't know You. Help us to keep the faith on this long/short road we call life, so that we can stick to this path for few and enjoy our new birth with you, once the time has come.
Through thought, word, and deed, I will be you Lord Jesus Christ...AMEN!
