We'll Get Through This
Lord, our troubles
Are so great,
We don't know what to do;
The price for our
Iniquity
Is finally coming due.
The world is crumbling
All about;
No safe place can be found.
Right is wrong,
Wrong is right;
The change is quite profound.
Lord, we need
Your guiding light
To lead us out of here;
We'll focus on
Your Word, and prayer,
To take away our fear.
Temptations of
This dying world
We'll rule out and let go;
Give our burdens
All to you,
Shed all worldly woe.
That's how we'll
Get through this, Lord,
Fixed on heaven above,
Assured of your
protection, help,
And everlasting love.
By Joanna Fuchs
This Christian poem tells of Jesus' never-failing support for us. It's a Christian inspirational poem that's also a Christian rhyme.
Youāre Always There for Me
When the world comes crashing in
And chaos rules my mind,
I turn my heart to you, Lord,
And pure, sweet peace I find.
You lift me out of trouble
You comfort me in pain;
You nourish, heal and cleanse me,
Like cool, refreshing rain.
In times of joy and bliss,
When things are going right,
You lift me even higher,
And fill me with delight.
You listen to my prayers;
You hear my every plea;
Iām safe because I know
Youāre always there for me.
By Joanna Fuchs
Forgiveness is a central rule of Christianity. This Christian poem reminds us that we must forgive as Jesus forgave us.
Forgive
Forgive someone. Today forgive.
Turn from bitter to positive.
End frustration, anger, pain;
Wash the anguish from your brain.
No need to reconcile or tell;
Just feel better and get well.
A brand new, peaceful life to live,
That's your gift, when you forgive.

Christian poems can try to communicate the sense of peace and safety that comes with knowing Jesus Christ. The Christian poem below tries to do that. It's a Christian rhyming poem.
To Do List From God
I ran my life in search of worldly things;
My time and will were firmly in control.
I thought I had no need for what God brings;
I gave no heed to murmurs from my soul.
āYouāre planning, doing all the time,ā it said,
āBut something else is missing deep inside.
Your mind is whirling, but your heart is dead,
So turn to God and let go of your pride.ā
I did, and God said, āHereās My plan for you:
Give your life to Me, and just let go.
Have faith and pray, and read the Bible through,
And youāll have blessings more than you can know.ā
So simple, yet it brings me perfect peace,
Living life for God the way I should.
Direction, purpose, fullness and releaseā
Life with God is very, very good.
By Joanna Fuchs

Just Like Me
Dear Lord, forgive our yielding to temptation;
Forgive our pride, our love of worldly things.
Have mercy on our love of sensual pleasure,
Compassion on the sins that self love brings.
It must be hard to understand us sometimes;
So very different is your heart and mind.
But wait, I just remembered that you do know
What itās like to be a part of humankind.
You suffered just like we do, and you were tempted.
You lived with us so you could comprehend
The things that we go through each trying day,
So you could give us mercy, and be our friend.
Thank you for compassion and forgiveness;
Thank you for your love and empathy.
Thank you, Lord, for coming down from heaven
To experience lifeās trials, just like me.
By Joanna Fuchs
Some Christian poems come out of personal experience. This Christian poem comes straight from my heart. It's a Christian verse right out of my life.
Help Me Forgive
When rage and fury overwhelm my heart,
Itās time to look to Godās own Holy Word.
I search the Bible for His good advice;
My will to His commands must be deferred.
In Romans God reveals His love for me;
In all things God works only for my good;
He gives me blessings I canāt understand;
Iād be peaceful if Iād do the things I should.
Jesus forgave so much; why then canāt I?
I want to mold my life after His own.
I pray, I try, but my sinful nature wins;
Lord, help me, I canāt do this thing alone.
In Colossians, I read about the peace of Christ;
Oh, how I long to feel it in my heart.
All I have to do is to forgive,
But Lord, it seems I donāt know where to start.
I need to walk a mile in the otherās shoes;
Theyāre doing what they think they have to do.
I know some problems are blessings in disguise,
But Lord, sometimes I feel so doggone blue.
Ephesians says "forgive as the Lord forgave you;
Get rid of anger and every form of malice."
Iād love to just let go and release it all,
But upon my heart is a wound thatās become a callus.
Iāll keep praying, trying, Lord, no matter what;
Iām determined to let go and relinquish blame;
Some day, Iāll say, and be truly sincere:
"I forgive it all in Jesusā precious name."
(Romans 8:28, Colossians 3:13, Ephesians 4:31)
By Joanna Fuchs
Hereās a Christian poem, based on Psalm 23, in free verse. Itās Christian poetry short enough to put on a mug.
Safe and Blessed
The Lord is my Shepherd.
He leads me.
He lifts me up.
I have no fear,
for He is always with me.
My life is safe and blessed
with the Lord.
Adapted from Psalm 23 by Joanna Fuchs
Christian poetry should make Christians aware of the importance of their faith to the world. This Christian poem admonishes Christians to put their faith into practice. It's also an implied Christian wish.
If...
If the world were full of Christians
who studied their Bible daily,
who really did believe
Godās commands applied to them,
who put what they learned
in Godās Holy Word into practice,
their actions reflecting that Word,
then earth would be close to heaven.
If the world were full of Christians
who knew that being a Christian
is more than going to church,
who lived their lives according to Godās will,
service to Him their main purpose,
who practiced Jesusā teachings
every day, with everyone they met,
loving and helping their neighbors,
then the earth would be a place
of heavenly harmony and peace.

Save Me
Save me from myself, Lord;
Save me from my need
To always run my life, Lord,
To control my every deed.
Save me from my pride, Lord,
My focus on just me;
Help me learn to serve, Lord;
Show me how to be.
Save me from the world, Lord,
When tempting things entice;
Remind me of eternity
With You, in paradise.
I give my life to you, Lord
My every need you fill;
Iām resting in my faith, Lord;
You saved me, and you always will.
By Joanna Fuchs
Christian poems and inspirational Christian poetry should invoke the name of Christ Jesus, as this Christian verse does. It's a free verse Christian poem that acknowledges our need for our Lord.
We Need You, Lord
We need you, Lord.
Like lost wanderers in a burning, empty desert
thirst for cool, clean water,
we long for you to quench us.
In a world gone progressively mad,
with chaos all around us,
we seek refuge in the order and purpose of your law.
With evil sneaking, leaking everywhere,
spreading heavy darkness,
creating feelings of emptiness,
we hunger for your goodness and light.
Turn us around, Lord, we pray;
retrieve your sheep who have gone astray.
Draw us to the satisfaction
of your purity and righteousness.
Cleanse us, and make us more like you,
role models, examples, beacons,
for others who are searching for meaning for their lives.
Come, Lord Jesus.
We need you, Lord.
Matthew 5:16
Proverbs 4:18
By Joanna Fuchs
Christian inspirational poetry often talks about what Christian living is about. This Christian poem about Christians idealizes the Christian life, one that is impossible for a worldly sinner to attain, but one to which Christians must aspire.
A Perfect Christian
You could count on a perfect Christian
To always be gentle and humble,
To be immune to sin,
And never, ever stumble.
Heād study and remember
All of Godās commands;
Heād be trustworthy, moral and honest;
Youād know just where he stands.
With others, sheād be in harmony;
Sheād never lose her cool;
Forgiving and forgetting,
Following the Golden Rule.
Heād surrender his life to God,
Full of joy and peace,
Free of stress and worryā¦
Perfect, pure release.
Sheād lift up everyone,
Full of sweet compassion,
Free of worldly wants,
Ignoring worldly fashion.
But we canāt ever be perfect,
So we always need to pray
For the strength to do our best
To love God and obey.
By Joanna Fuchs
Inspirational Christian poetry often centers on Jesus as role model, as this Christian verse does. This Christian spiritual poem helps us to keep our priorities straight.
Like You
Lord help me to be in Your holy will;
Tell me what to do today;
Lead me in Your righteousness;
Make me more like You, I pray.
Guard me against this corrupting world,
Its perverted priorities, temptations, too.
Direct my mind toward Your commands,
So I can focus my life on You.
Fill my heart with Your light and love,
So I can assist those I see in need;
With You as my role model, let me be
Like You in thought and word and deed.
By Joanna Fuchs
Christian poems can address specific life events, like graduation. Here's a Christian graduation poem. There are more graduation poems on our graduation poems page.
The Lord Will Lead You
Now that you're celebrating
Your graduation day,
Your whole life is ahead of you,
And the Lord will lead the way.
Just trust in Him to guide you
In His divine and perfect will.
If you'll pray and read His Holy Word,
His plan you will fulfill.
Whatever happens in your life,
On the Lord you can depend.
There's nothing you can't handle
With Jesus as your best friend.
Congratulations, and may the Lord bless you always!
By Joanna Fuchs
Christian poems about Christians can describe the spiritual struggles that Christians go through, as this free verse Christian poem does.
Iām Trying, Butā¦
Iām trying, butā¦
what I want to do,
I donāt do enough of,
and what I donāt want to do,
I do too much of.
I know the rules for a Christian life,
according to the Bible,
and Iām trying; I really am, butā¦
heaven and eternity seem so far away,
and the rampantly materialistic world
presses in so close
from every direction, every side,
that I get distracted.
Focus, focus, focus!
I need to focus, laser-like
on a simple, God-centered life.
Do I really need
to make that frivolous purchase,
instead of giving the money
to someone who needs it
so much more than I do?
Can I watch that TV show,
read that book, listen to that song
that contains (and promotes!)
even a little bit
of what the Bible forbids,
without being corrupted?
Do I do enough
to love and help and encourage others?
Pride always hovers,
eagerly waiting
to subdue and conquer humility,
so I think too much of myself.
I know the rules;
the Bible makes everything clear.
Forgive me, Lord;
Iām trying, butā¦
Romans 7:15
Matthew 6:19
Philippians 4:8
By Joanna Fuchs
Christian poems and inspirational Christian poetry can comfort those in distress, as this free Christian poem does. It's a Christian verse that acknowledges that we can derive strength, courage and comfort from knowing our Lord is always there for us. This could also be used as a Christian church poem.
Nothing We Canāt Handle
No matter what distressing times I face,
When rain and storms replace the sunny weather,
When things I counted on fail to sustain me,
Thereās nothing we canāt handle, Lord, together.
If those I thought were friends act more like foes,
If I start to lose the things I hold most dear,
I know that I can tell it all to You;
You want to listen to me and to hear.
When my earthly world dissolves before my eyes,
When problems seem too great for me to bear,
Youāll always be there for me, Lord, I know;
I can come to you on bended knees in prayer.
Itās such a comfort, Lord, to realize,
Youāll always be my King, my Lord, my Friend;
To share my burdens, worries, and my cares,
Youāll love me and support me to the end.
By Joanna Fuchs
Christian poems and inspirational Christian poetry should reference our Lord Jesus Christ, and Christian poems about Christians should help us live our lives according to His commands, as this Christian verse does.
More Like Jesus
Let us be more like Jesus
In everything we do;
Letās live a life of service,
A life thatās fresh and new.
Letās relinquish worldly things,
And not be slaves to fashion;
Letās fill our hearts with love,
Forgiveness and compassion.
Yes, letās be more like Jesus,
Being always in Godās will,
For if Jesusā light shines through us,
Our earthly purpose weāll fulfill.
By Joanna Fuchs
This free Christian poem, in free verse (it doesn't rhyme), is about what it's like before and after. It's a Christian verse that summarizes the transition from secular to Christian. We are happy to provide this Christian spiritual poem online.
Come To Jesus
Isnāt there more to life?
Is this all there is?
Imprisoned by our need for control,
trapped by insatiable desires
for worldly pleasures,
we are oppressed by our desperate hunger
for approval and love
from everyone
except the One who loves us most.
Straining, fighting to release
a familiar yet unknown burden,
we struggle to flee the tension, the stress
from the inner knowing
that our lives are incomplete
without Him who created us.
Parched, thirsting for more, more, more
of something we canāt even define,
racing in the wrong direction,
we search everywhere
except the one place
where what we really want
can actually be found.
Turn around.
Come to Jesus.
He is hope;
He is joy;
He is freedom,
direction, and purpose.
Come to Jesus.
Let Him carry your burdens.
Surrender your pain to His love.
Turn from darkness to the Son,
to the beacon Who will always light your way.
Come to Jesus.
He is waiting...
waiting to lead you home.
By Joanna Fuchs
Christian poems and inspirational Christian poetry can focus on God's creation, as this Christian verse does. It's a free Christian poem written in free verse rather than rhyme. It could also be used as a Christian prayer poem.
God in the Seasons
Lord,
In Spring we are reminded
of the magnificence of Your creation,
as the earth is covered in verdant green,
with splendid splashes of color,
and we witness birth everywhere,
of animals bearing their young,
of buds turning into leaves and flowers
and our own moods being reborn
with renewed energy and life.
Lord,
in Summer, we remember
the warmth of Your love for us
and the light of Your goodness.
Both are everywhere for those who look.
Thank You for butterflies,
birds and wildlife for us to enjoy,
water to swim in,
and weather that frees us to romp and play
while outdoor pleasures are at their peak.
Lord,
In Fall, we thank you for Your cooling breezes,
that bring relief from the relentless summer heat.
We see bright colors fading and dying,
leaves turning brown, crisp, disintegrating,
only to be reborn next year,
reminding us that every living thing, including us,
must die in some way before being reborn.
Lord,
In Winter, as white snow blankets the ground,
we are reminded of Your purity and Your perfection.
The complexity and beauty of each single snowflake
only hints at Your transcendent intelligence and creativity.
We hunker down and snuggle in,
knowing this season will wind down
and Spring will reappear, as it always has
because You created an orderly, predictable universe,
not by chance, but from your flawless design.
Thank You for the seasons, Lord,
and everything in them
that You created for our enjoyment.

More Than Ever
In todayās chaotic world,
With everything around us crumbling,
Morality held in contempt,
Our leaders false, corrupt, or bumbling,
More than ever, we need Christ
To lead us through this darkening place;
His absolute truth will light our way;
Heāll lift us with His love and grace.
The Bible is our cornerstone;
In Godās word, we take our stands;
Role models we will strive to be,
Examples of our Lordās commands.

To complete the tasks youād have us do;
We pray youāll lead us, guide us now
To know and love and follow you.

Teacher Retirement Poems
Teacher appreciation poems should include poems for teachers who are retiring. This teacher poem is a teacher retirement poem. You can use this teacher retirement poem with a card or gift.
Now That You're Retiring
Now that you're retiring
We can tell you how we feel;
Our heartfelt admiration
Is deeply felt and real.
You've been a great role model
For teachers and each kid;
You showed us how to be
In everything you did.
We'll miss your fine example;
We'll miss the things you gave;
Our pleasant memories of you
We'll recall and carefully save.
We wish for your retirement
The best of all your days;
May you discover sweet fulfillment
In new and rewarding ways.
By Joanna Fuchs
Teacher retirement poems are in great demand. This teacher appreciation poem should linger long in the mind of the retiree.
As You Retire
As you retire,
know that we will miss you.
Every day, we will feel a gap,
an empty space in our lives
that used to be filled
with the pleasure of seeing you.
As you retire,
look back on your major accomplishment:
the lives you touched, influenced,
and improved forever.
As you retire,
know how important you are to everyone,
a gem, a unique treasure
that we could never replace.
As you retire,
be fulfilled, be happy, be at peace;
you deserve it.
By Joanna Fuchs
Funny teacher retirement poems are popular, so here's one.
No Stress Retirement
We worked together, and now you will leave,
Retiring to boredom we canāt conceive,
With no stress, no strain, no deadlines to meet,
No worries about the verdict when a task you complete.
We who remain, we pity you so.
We wish you the best, and we want you to know,
If freedom and relaxation get too hard to cope,
Just think of us, and donāt give up hope.

Preschool Teacher Poems
Teacher poems can be for students of different ages. Just as I designed "Sonnet For An Unforgettable Teacher" for advanced high school or college level students as a poem for teacher, I also wrote preschool teacher poems. Here they are.
Special Teacher
Thank you special teacher
For helping me to know
The things I need to learn
To live my life and grow.
I feel good with you because
Your teaching makes me see,
If I work at it, I can do it.
Thanks for showing me!

Teacher Prayer
Many thousands of people are typing teacher prayer into their search box, so I wrote a free verse teacher poem to be used as a teacher prayer or teacher appreciation saying. Here it is.
Teacher Prayer
Dear Lord, bless these teachers mightily
as they seek to teach, enrich and guide
your precious children.
Grant them abundant resources to do their job,
intelligence, wisdom, sensitivity, kindness,
and the material things that make it possible
to turn some of these tender green plants
into the strong, stable trees that will lead our nation,
to transform some of these buds into brilliant flowers
that will bring light, color and happiness
to all who encounter them,
and to give every one of them the tools
to be creative, and productive and to develop
their own kind of success in the world.
Lord, wrap Your loving arms around these teachers
who give so much of themselves to grow our youth
into creative, responsible adults.
We pray that You will immerse them
in your boundless, transcendent love.
We pray that You will strengthen and soothe them
when they have given so much of themselves
that they need Your extra attention, Your extra care.
We love, respect and admire these teachers, Lord
and we pray that you will watch over them always--
these special people who hold our children
and our future in their hands.
Amen.
