Christian Poetry - A poem about Heaven and Seeing Jesus

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away... and I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband...Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God...And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald...And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.." -Revelation 21:1-3,19,21

“I will see Him”

Take me to the holy city
They call the New Jerusalem
For I know my Lord will be there
And I want to be with Him

Lead me through the pearly gates
Though it’s not them I long to see
I don’t care how big and shiny
Or how grand those gates may be

And please, don’t stop to admire
The streets of gold beneath our feet
It’s not the gold that I have dreamed of
But Jesus, who I want to meet

Rush me past the walls of Jasper
Let me stand before the throne
That my eyes may see the beauty
That until now I’ve never known

Don’t show me Sapphires or Rubies
There’s just one sight I want to see
It is the lovely face of Jesus
With whom my soul has longed to be

There’s nothing more that I desire
Than to stand before him in that place
And with my eyes behold the glory
Of seeing Jesus face to face.

Christian Poetry - A Poem about our real Home, Heaven

"Upon the Everlasting Hills”

I lived, a beggar, lost and blind.

Wondering over hill and dale,

In search of love to call my own,

I roamed the land to no avail.

Carrying nothing but my need,

An empty soul, a heart of pain.

I sought a place to call my home

But lost and blind, I sought in vain.

For though I travel far and wide

To find it on this earthly ground,

Until I stand with Christ the king,

My rightful home shall not be found.

Oh, for a peace that never ends!

Where mortal souls are finally free,

Where neighbors praise the living God,

Where Jesus sits and dines with me!

A home where pain does not exist,

A home whose builder is the Lord,

Where every man shall see his face

Where life and love are their reward.

Where I can reach and touch his hand.

Where He is mine and I am His,

Upon the everlasting hills,

Forevermore to live in bliss.

Oh, heart of mine, we’ll soon be home!

For he who promised shall fulfill,

And we’ll reside on holy ground

And be forever in his will.

Christian Poetry - A poem about reuniting with a loved one in Heaven

"A Poem for Someone Special"

　

My love will find you when I get there

I will not stop until I do

I’ll search among the crowds of people

I’ll search until I get to you

　

Oh, I will know you by your smile

By looking deep into your eyes

For though our bodies may be different

Your spirit I will recognize

　

Then in that moment when I know you

I’ll take you by the hand and run

Through streets of gold and crowds of people

Into the presence of the Son

　

And there before the King of Heaven

I’ll fall upon my knees in praise

Remembering all the things you taught me

With gentle words and heart ablaze

　

Surrounded by the tribes and nations

I’ll hold you close for all to see

How much I’m grateful that you loved me

And that you shared your faith with me

　

Then just as you had always taught me

We’ll join our voices and we’ll sing

With thankful hearts, with burning passion

The wondrous praises of our King!

　　

Thank you for sharing the Gospel with me, can't wait to see you there..

A Christian Poem about Heaven

“IMAGINE”

Imagine with me for one moment
that we stood at the gates, you and I
and our hearts started beating within us
as those gates suddenly swung open wide.
Can you feel the excitement around us,
do you see all the things that I see?
All the saints on their feet and they're cheering
with a welcome for you and for me.

See the tables, they're set for a banquet
with the finest of linen and gold.
In the air there's a sense of rejoicing
and this feeling will never grow old.
Is that Paul who is coming to greet us,
saying "Beloved, you've finished the race!
You have fought the good fight and been faithful,
now come rest in his love and his Grace."

Have you noticed the beautiful music
and the angels all gathered around?
Have you noticed that on all of these faces,
there isn't a tear to be found?
Do you feel what I feel at this moment?
All my fears have begun to subside.
And there's nothing that can be compared
to the peace that I'm feeling inside.

Wherever I look there is beauty
and all of saints know my name.
Now, because all my sins are forgiven,
I can face them without any shame.
And then suddenly... a hush falls upon them
and they slowly start moving aside.
Do you see what I see in the distance?
It is moving toward us, a beautiful light!

I watch as the light moves in closer,
now my joy I can hardly contain.
It is JESUS! He is walking right to me,
and He is calling to me by my name!
As His eyes look directly at mine,
with his arms he is motioning "come".
But I fall to my knees and I tremble
for my body is suddenly numb.

So he smiles and then gently he lifts me
and he holds me up close to his heart.
Now my mind looks for something to tell him
but my heart doesn't know where to start.
And before I can utter one word,
I hear his voice speaking into my ear.
He says "I've waited so long for this moment.
Now my child you are finally here!"

So I struggle to say "Jesus Thank you.
It is only because of you that I'm here".
But again, in his arms as he holds me,
I feel the warmth of his voice by my ear.
He says "Daughter, I knew you would make it.
That is why I've prepared you a place."
As I stand to my feet and I face him,
he is gently caressing my face.

There are no words to express what I'm feeling
and there's nothing worth giving this up.
Yet, I can sum it all up in a moment,
with a word that we both know as "LOVE"
