Here's some more! :D
This poem is simply called "Mankind":
I was woven from the dust of the earth,
Born from the womb of Your servant,
Formed by Your hands, quickened by Your breath;
Come to the precious Garden,
Walking among Your very good works.
I heard the voice of the serpent,
I took from the tree of knowledge,
I disobeyed Your instruction of obedience.
I wanted to be alone and above, I, I;
I rebelled openly against You.
I have walked in shame,
Under a fair judgement, surrounded by decay.
All of my steps reap death,
I've made myself an agent of destruction and ruin;
And behold, You still do provide.
Despite my deeds, behold, You are faithful,
And have called me unto a covenant;
You called me to faithfulness, to believe and trust.
You have shown Your worth, and You gave me chance
To have communion with You once again.
But, behold, You see I am not capable,
That my hands still do sin and break the unity.
You make a promise of redemption and blessing;
From this very flesh, You raise salvation,
Only by Your name, by Your glory, oh God.
You send Your Son and beget Him from me.
He takes the sin away from my flesh,
He carries the judgement for my iniquities;
He carries that cross, His blood flows through the streets;
I go after Him.
You break Him, You forsake Him,
And my debt of solitude is paid forever;
You willed, You fulfilled.
Your Anointed remained faithful;
For this You shall honor Him to the utmost.
Vindicated, Christ risen in glory,
Holy and worthy, mighty Son of God.
Thank You, Lord, who died for me;
Me being a sinful man,
You died for me.
Under Your covenant I take Your cross,
As my judgement You did take and my price You paid.
From Your flesh and blood I ate and drank,
Adopted in You, son of God by grace;
You in me, Your people, I in You and Your people.
By the love and faithfulness of the Creator God
I can repent and be confident.
Christ, You died for me,
And I, Your Body, will serve You;
Until You take me, in this body I shall serve.
And on that day, once more,
I will be able to be in Your Presence
As in the Garden of innocence,
But with gratitude for Your mercy,
To praise You and serve You, for all the days of eternity.
This poem is called "Glory to God in the Highest", I wrote it for a Christmas contest:
Glory to the Eternal God,
Glory to God in the Highest,
For He delivers the sons of men;
Praise His name, oh heavens,
For His faithfulness lasts forever;
Glory to God in the Highest.
Glory to the Lord sitting on His throne,
Glory to God in the Highest,
For He is holy and righteous;
Praise His deeds, His mighty hand,
For He has brought forth His salvation;
Glory to God in the Highest.
Glory to the only wise God,
Glory to God in the Highest.
Wisdom is come to the place of men;
Praise the One whose works are since old,
For He has come down from heaven;
Glory to God in the Highest.
Glory to the Anointed One of God,
And glory to God in the Highest.
His birth is not in man-made houses;
Praise the One come in humbleness,
For He shall pour Himself whole;
Glory to God in the Highest.
Glory to the Holy One of Israel,
Glory to God in the Highest.
The year of His favor upon men;
Praise the Lord’s faithful word,
For He decrees peace upon the earth;
Glory to God in the Highest.
Glory to the King that rises,
And glory to God in the Highest;
Bethlehem, blessed amid Judah.
Praise the Son of David, your Redeemer,
For He is born unto you all;
Come, give glory to God in the Highest.
This one is called "Blessing from God", speaking of Jesus as the blessing to all the nations:
YHWH alone is God
and He alone is Lord and King.
His name be glorified in the heavens
and His hand be exalted up high.
Praise YHWH in every land,
Praise Him in all the ends of the earth,
For He has sent forth His salvation
And revealed His holy arm.
He has redeemed His people,
The seed of Israel, His possession,
For the sake of His glory
And His love for Jacob's tents;
His promise to Abraham's seed,
The blessing to all nations.
Jerusalem saw the blood
Of the Servant of YHWH,
The atonement and forgiveness
For His people's iniquities,
Jacob's rebellion,
And Adam's transgression.
For us all, the Holy One carried
The weight of destruction,
The cup of wrath from above,
Crushed by YHWH's mighty hand;
He was cut from the sons of men
Like the cloth filled with plague,
And removed from among His people
Like the goat fated for death.
Praise YHWH, O Ephraim,
And honor Him in all your days,
For He forgives your iniquity
For the love of His name.
Peace be to you, daughter of Zion;
Your husband has come,
And He forgives your unfaithfulness,
His love poured out like
Rivers of life from His very Spirit.
Honor Him, YHWH God Almighty,
Full of grace and lovingkindness,
He who remains true forever.
You are a people set apart from death,
Away from sin, holy to the Lord.
You are the Temple of the Holy One,
The Presence of the Almighty in your midst;
His name is written in your heart,
Let His righteousness clothe all your works.
You are one with Messiah's flesh,
Members of His body on the earth,
The image of the Lord therein,
As beloved children of your God.
Be faithful to your calling to the end,
Abide in His love, as He is love,
And His covenant is sealed in you,
The Spirit anointing your head,
As you know the Lord who redeemed you;
You are His inheritance forever.
He shed His life for your seed,
Propitiating blood spilled for your sake.
Be now the nation of His name,
Heed instruction, and receive wisdom:
The Lord your God is One;
Love Him with all your might,
And praise Him in all your days,
In the Lord who is your Way.
Bear witness of His mighty arm,
His love with which He loved you,
And bring the news to all,
Even all the corners of the earth.
May all nations serve Messiah,
Yea, the Risen King of Israel.
This one is shorter and speaks of the Holy Spirit, simply titled "Description":
Moves like a joyful dolphin,
Swimming in harmonious peace,
Towards a golden sun, shining,
Dawning from the endless sea.
Flows like a spring breeze
In a warm morning,
Between the branches of a
Fruit-carrying tree.
Sings like the happiest of birds
In the abundance of food
And the melody of the green,
When life is proclaimed.
Loves like no creature has done,
Holy in His fire of truth,
The Spirit of God passes by,
His breath renews the earth.
And this one is called "Atonement and Fruit":
Hatred lashing His back
For the rebellion I made.
Iron piercing His limbs,
Binding the evils I did.
Pain crowning His head
Shames the lordship I denied.
Wood hanging His body,
Cursing the sin that I was.
The Lamb has borne death,
The Son struck by the Father,
The King forsaken by all,
The Lord shamed among men.
His people now can live
And be called children of God,
Enter His Kingdom in joy
And see an honor debt paid.
Sin, powerless illusion,
Be gone, soon and for ever
Removed, in communion restored;
Let love now dwell these houses.
Death, powerless sentence,
Fully paid, once and for all
Undone, by the risen Firstfruits;
May life now cloth these vessels.
Praise the Faithful Lamb of Yahweh,
Honor the Holy Son of God,
Serve the Anointed King of Israel,
Worship the Risen Lord Jesus.
Our Atonement, who bore the shame;
Our Master, who gave words of life;
Our Maker, who makes all things new;
Our Savior, who brought us to love.
Death's rock rolled away
Giving way to the Risen.
News spreading the hope,
The Spirit working in men.
Temple serving the offerings,
White linen to honor our Lord.
City rejoicing in righteousness,
The age of God has now come.
I'll put those for now =)
