Royston Allen Poems

As He died and breathed out His final breath
Speaking words much stronger than those of death.
Words of forgiveness and of loving care
hanging on the cross in agony there.
...

Your arms of love enfold around me
and embrace me in passion so warmly
They entwine me with great emotion
Expressing your love and your devotion
...

Then I heard the flowers speaking to me
in them the Glory of God I could see.
They had all been set out with loving care
by the person who had arranged them there.
...

If Christ had not died then I would be lost
and I would have to pay sins awful cost.
When called to stand before the judgement throne;
naked and exposed and all on my own.
...

The fruit of the Spirit manifest in the flesh
Beauty of character wrapped in righteousness
Manhood and Deity in perfect harmony
Such splendour and majesty in Jesus I see
...

Living on a shoestring, making ends meet
Providing food and comfort’s no mean feat
...

The world tries to squash us into its mould
warping our character as we grow old.
Nibbling away over the passing years
trying to make us assertive and fierce.
...

He would not let Jesus pass him by.
Called out to the Saviour with a loud cry.
It was his last chance to be made whole.
For blind from birth was this poor soul.
...

He who measures the heavens with a span
included me in His salvation plan.
Then descended from His heavenly throne
and He gave His life to make me His own.
