Inspirational Poems

By Larry Gale

This book is a collection of poems loosely based on Bible stories I have heard since I was a child. I tried to keep the subject matter as close to the Bible stories as I could, with a little bit of creative leeway.

The poems touch on a wide variety of biblical stories, including the Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah, Mary, Christ, the crucifixion of Jesus, and much more.

Some poems touch on our relationship with Christ and his teachings and some anecdotal poems and poems about Satan, angels, hell, rapture, and some personal thoughts.

I can only hope this collection of poems will inspire the reader to want to learn more about the stories and help develop their own relationship with Christ.

Let There Be Light

Let there be light

Is just what God said.

Then, he lifted a finger

And nodded his head.

God created heaven and earth.

From what I remember,

He just opened his eyes

And pointed a finger.

He parted the seas

And created dry land,

By lifting a finger

Or waving his hand.

God wanted the earth

To grow trees and bear fruit,

So he lifted a finger,

Or just wiggled a foot.

He made the sun and the moon

And some stars for the night.

He put them up there

To give us some light.

God filled the seas with live creatures

And put birds in the sky.

That all happened

In the blink of an eye.

God created creatures of all kinds

To live on the land.

He did all of this

With a wave of his hand.

God looked at his work

And saw it was good

Then realized he needed people

To put in his hood!

Twinkle, Twinkle

Twinkle, twinkle,

Little star,

Why’d God put you

Up so far?

You twinkle

Oh so bright at night.

You give us all

A little light.

God put you there

For us to see,

So in the sky

You’ll always be.

I wish I may,

I wish I might

I pray to God

Most every night.

Thank you, Lord,

For stars at night.

Thank you, Lord,

For their sweet light.

Stars

Star light,

Star bright.

All the stars

Are out tonight.

Some are dim

And some are bright.

God put them there

For our delight.

They are there

For us to see

And to enjoy

God’s majesty.

Look to the sky

While out at night,

And then you’ll see

That God was right.

Adam and Eve

God created man

In his own image.

God created man.

The earth he would manage.

So he created the first man

Straight out of the dust.

And later decided

A mate was a must.

Next, he made Eve

From Adam’s rib bone.

Now they would make

A garden their home.

The garden of Eden

Was the perfect spot.

It wasn’t too cold

And never too hot.

Only one rule

In the garden, you see:

They could not eat

The fruit of one tree.

Everything was just perfect,

Everything was divine.

Then Satan showed up,

And he crossed the line.

He tempted the woman
