Royston Allen Poems

Patching up the old is not Jesus' way.
Old and new together will only fray.
Jesus said, 'Behold I make all things new'
and these tattered garments just will not do.
...

Before the Sanhedrin He spoke no word
and from His lips no sound was heard.
Silent as a mute not a word was said
as to the cruel cross Jesus was led.
...

I love you, much more than you will ever know
I love you, and I am willing to the cross to go
I love you, even though you don't know my name
I love you, and upon the cross I’ll take the blame
...

I can step out of the boat
but can I walk on water?
Will Jesus keep me afloat?
Or will I sink and falter?
...

Let us continue the erotic tale
of David the king and the alpha male.
So full of testosterone and desire
he wanted to take her into his boudoir.
...

Upon that hill near Galilee Jesus fed
multitudes with the fishes and bread.
Nourishment could only be provided
once the food was broken and divided
...

For eighteen long days he had hardly slept
And night and day his loving vigil kept
Sat by her bedside and with tender care
He swabbed her mouth and stroked her long brown hair
...

Life is so fragile and I live so close to death
for eternity begins with my final breath.
This mortal body is composed of flesh and bone
but my soul lives has a life if its' own
...

Light, uncreated shone upon the earth
born within the stable by virgin birth.
Light immortal descending from above
embracing the world with God's perfect love.
...
