Christian inspirational poems
What is the most inspirational christian poem you know?

Christ for All Seasons

Prisoner at the bar
how do you plead?
Judge of all the world
I plead guilty,
guilty as a judge
on Judgment Day.

Day of Calvary,
darkness of day
longest day of memory
memorial day.

Because I remember you
and you remember me,
I sentence you to life.
Now live!

Here’s another one I’ve always loved:

Footprints

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Scenes from his life flashed across the sky
and he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life had flashed before him,
he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times of his life
there was only one set of footprints.

Dismayed, he asked, “Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you’d walk with me all the way.
I don’t understand why, when I needed you most,
you would leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My precious child.
I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering
when you saw only one set of footprints…

It was then that I carried you”

– Carolyn Carty, 1963
