Hello, my name is Garrett Westcott. I was born into a white middle-class family. My dad worked two jobs in order to send me and my siblings to private Christian schools.
All my childhood I had gone to church, Sunday school, and had religion classes in school. However, it was not until I took a confirmation class after school in the eighth grade to become a member of my parents church that I remember really understanding the Christian faith. I do not even know if I believed in Jesus before then but I know I believed in God.
While attending college, I decided to cement in my Christian faith and did some truth searching to find reasons for my faith. I concluded that I believe that Christianity is the only true religion because of its love, righteousness, and miracles. I believe that Jesus was a true historical figure, the Son of God, and that He performed all the miracles in the Bible that it says He did including resurrecting from the dead. I believe this because the Apostles went to their horrible deaths attesting to Jesus' words and miracles for a good and loving cause.
Now, I am trying to bring people glimpses of the Christian faith through these poems in hopes that they too might someday decide to become Christians and receive eternal life.
I hope these poems will be a blessing to your life.
Sincerely,
Garrett Westcott
Before He was a Preacher
Before He was a Savior
Before He died upon the cross
Jesus was a carpenter
...
A poet of the troubled soul
A life on who the devil took his toll
A happy bouncing bundle of joy
Who turned into an angry stepson boy
...
No turkey dinner for Christmas tonight
Not a single present under an imaginary tree
If they just find water on their desperate flight
They would be more grateful this Christmas than you or me
...
The women trembled at the sight
Two holy angels dressed in white
I know who you seek, the Prince of Peace
He has risen, risen indeed
...
The night is drawing near
There is no time to shed another tear
We must live as sons of the King
I can hear the church bells ring
...
