“Many men claim to be men of unfailing love,
but who can find a faithful man?”
-Proverbs 20:6
A Faithful Heart
This book is titled “Poems For a Faithful Heart” because it is a collection of poems for God,
the One with a Faithful Heart. He is the Lover who seeks us and saves us and who will never
disappoint all those who trusts in His Love.
God is faithful and only His love will never fail.
“O, how I am moved to prayer
in the presence of the Lord.
My tongue knows no word,
my lips no song,
yet I am aching to worship Him
and Him alone.
O, when will His hand take mine?
When will His eyes gaze upon my eyes
that tears may find no room
for sadness, but only for
overflowing joy?
I am here, my Lord,
helpless as a tree trapped upon the earth,
yet I feel as light as air and as empty
as the clear blue sky.
This vessel has found its purpose;
the essence it was meant to contain.
Yet rescue me for I am fragile and wounded.
If I should break before Your touch,
heal me and renew me Lord
with Your Gracious Love!”
Short Excerpts
Following are just some of the excerpts from poems filled with faith, wisdom and inspiration from a personal encounter with Him who is the most Beautiful Lover of all:
At The Foot of the Cross
At the foot of the cross
that’s where I want to be
To gaze upon my God
with boundless love for me
To kiss His feet pierced with nails
to worship and adore
Him who was pierced by a lance
Him who was crowned with thorns (…)
For The Countless Times
For the countless times I sinned
And you still took me in.
For the countless times I strayed
And you still held my hand
Willing to lead me back
Again and again.
For the countless times I faltered
And you never gave up
But continued to believe
That I can still get up.
For the countless times I’ve hurt you
But you never complained
And you kept on loving me
Again and again. (…)
I Can’t Tell You Why
I can’t tell you why
Things must happen the way they did,
Why this terrible pain
Must now break your heart.
I can’t tell you why
God is now silent as we speak,
Why He allowed such things
To happen to His child.
But I can tell you
How He loves you so,
And how He never changed
Through all these years.
I can tell you that
Though He seems so far
In truth He is with you
And never more so near.(…)

Greetings Jocelyn,
I seem to be unable to buy you book titled Poems For a Faithful Heart from Amazon. Evangeline from Amazon was assisting me in Chat. We got disconnected and I refused to start filling out their help form again. Where else might your book be available?
Thank you,
