POETRY
​
Since the beautiful, opening lines of the Book of Genesis, God has delighted in sharing His story through poetic language. And we want to share Christ’s story and our own personal stories via original poetry works too. If you would like your poetry featured on The JCMultiverse site, please send us a message. We’d love to have you!
ONE WITH GOD
How can I be
All the things I’d like to be
When I always feel alone
Thought You would be there
To guide me on my way
But it seems that I was wrong
Did You abandon me
Or did I turn away
Sometimes truth is hard to recognize
Will You welcome me again
Into Your waiting arms
To teach me how to share
To bear Your cross again
One with God
Make us one with God
By faith alone
Make us one with God
For no matter where you go
There’s one thing that we know
Our love for Jesus
Makes us one with God
In a world that always seems to close its eyes
To all the suffering and hate
Can it really be explained
In a world that always tears our dreams apart
We never are alone
Even though sometimes it seems we are
One with God
Make us one with God
By faith alone
Make us one with God
For no matter where you go
There’s one thing that we know
Our love for Jesus
Makes us one with God
Feed my sheep
Don’t be divided
Spread His Word
That’s what we’re called to do
In His house
There are no labels
Touch the world
He is reaching out to you
One with God
Make us one with God
By faith alone
Make us one with God
For no matter where you go
There’s one thing that we know
Our love for Jesus
Makes us one with God

MY RAINBOW
Rainbows
Are so beautiful
The calm
After the storm
Rainbows
Only colors
Yet magical
When they take form
Our lives
Like changing weather
Some sun
Always some rain
But you
Make my life wonderful
Please
Let me explain
​
You are my rainbow
When the storm
Has taken me down
You bring me up again
You are my rainbow
You are my friend
You shine
Through the clouds above
Come shine on me again

GOD'S GIFT
When God made the flowing waters
Their beauty He gave to you
As the mountains rise to meet the sun
I'll rise to meet you too
If I could witness all creation
What a joy it is to share
For earth is like heaven to me
Because God placed you there
For the reasons for my happiness
There's so much you've helped me through
My life was not God's gift to me
God's gift to me was you
​
So another year has escaped us
There's still so many more to see
Time has not changed your beauty
It still amazes me
For the rainbow is never changing
The stars will never fade
I'd sacrifice all I have for you
To treasure the joy you made
For the reasons for my happiness
Are found in the little things you do
My life was not God's gift to me
God's gift to me was you

USED TO THINK
I used to think
There was nothing quite as beautiful
As the mountains
Watching all the changes
From the winter to the spring
​
I used to think
There was nothing quite as peaceful
As the ocean
Sailing with the currents
On a wave so crystal blue
​
I used to think
There was nothing quite as majestic
As the eagles
Soaring over the canyons
On a tradewind to the skies
​
But then I saw you
And suddenly I changed my mind

INSPIRATION
My mind often wanders
Whenever I'm lonely
My heart's always searching
For a place to call home
I used to be be happy
Life has so much to offer
New people and places
There's so much to see
So I ask myself daily
When there's so much to give
Just what is the problem
Just what do you need
​
I need a friend now
Someone I can talk to
Someone I can share with
Someone I can trust
I need inspiration
A reason for morning
A reason for caring
A reason for love
​
Where are the seasons
Where is the sunshine
Where are the mountains
Blowing soft in the wind
There's too many changes
We're just so divided
All of this hatred
I just can't understand
​
It used to be beautiful
The sound of a rainfall
The passing of winter
The promise of spring
I long for the ocean
The sweet sound of silence
I long for your whisper
When the night is so cold
What are we falling
Why are we frightened
Why do the true lovers
Always seem to get burned
​
I need inspiration
A reason for being
I need to find peace
In this old heart of mine
