Out of the Grave!

Jamie Francis Jesus Christ, Poetry

The grave could not hold Him, for He came out,
On the third day He rose; there is no doubt.
The Christ, the King of kings, rose from the dead,
The Christ was seen, five hundred saw! News spread!

Three days, dark and cold tomb; but then life knocked,
Life came, the light of Christ; He walked, He talked!
Stone rolled, people went in; He was not there,
They went to find this man; they searched, but where?

Ahead He went, spoke on Emmaus Road,
Scripture fulfilled, explained; all of it flowed!
The Christ fulfilled all prophecy, but when?
In life and death, resurrection; Amen!

If you deny this truth, oh so grievous!
Now on His throne, He will come back, Jesus!

There is Only One Name

Jamie Francis Jesus Christ, Poetry

There is only one Name, which is superior above all other names,
There is only one Name, who fulfilled every one of His claims.
There is only one Name, who is LORD, God, and King over all,
There is only one Name, who could reverse the curse of man’s fall.

There is only one Savior in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth,
There is only one Savior, who is capable of giving us the new birth.
There is only one Savior, by which you, me, or anyone, can be saved,
There is only one Savior, who came to rescue the totally depraved.

There is only one God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one Being – 3 Persons,
This is the one and only true God, any other teaching is nothing but a perversion.
There is only one God, who created the sun, moon, and every star in the sky,
There is only one God, whose wisdom and power could design the human eye.

There is only one King of kings and LORD of lords, who rules over the universe,
The King to whom men refuse to bow, because their hearts are wicked and perverse.
There is only one Way, one Truth, and one Life; His Name is Jesus, let’s bow the knee,
For He is our God, who took on human flesh, so that He could love us by dying on a tree.

There is only one Jesus, the Jesus of the Bible, the Savior of the world, truly God and truly man,
He was sent to us by God the Father, was given the Spirit without measure, yes, what an eternal plan!
There is only one Christ, and you can have eternal life in His Name, but you must repent and believe,
For there is only one gospel; Jesus Christ, the sinless One, died and rose again, to Him you must cleave!

An Open Letter to an Abortionist

Jamie Francis Abortion, Poetry

Dear Mr./Mrs. Abortionist,

Have you considered…..

That your own life began at the moment of your conception,
And now you cannot even recognize your own self-deception.
You take evil blood money to destroy those beautiful tiny lives,
You destroy God’s image bearers; not even the fittest can survive.

Have you considered…..

That an unborn baby is a person, no matter his or her size,
But when they are brought to you, every one of them dies.
Have you no shame? And has your conscience been so seared?
Has your concept of right and wrong completely disappeared?

Have you considered…..

What the Bible says about murder, what God declares in His Word,
That He hates the taking of human life, yes indeed, His anger gets stirred!
The Scripture clearly says “You shall not murder”, so make no mistake,
Your occupation is a wicked choice that you must immediately forsake!

Have you considered…..

That the LORD sees you tear off the feeble limbs of all His precious little ones,
The moment you treat their body parts as if they were no more than crumbs!
How can you ever do this again? How can you get up and drive yourself to work?
Can you take your tools of blood in hand, and treat that baby like just another perk?

Have you considered…..

That you are lying to your family, lying to the public, and especially lying to your many patients,
You lead women to believe they can trust you, then you give their precious child an abortifacient?!
How can you ever go to sleep at night? How can you ever put a smile on your guilty face?
When you daily get paid to slaughter the most vulnerable members of the human race?

Have you considered……

That Jesus Christ, the Giver of life and breath, said “Let the little children come to me”,
But you, who depend on God for every breath, say “Let the little children die…. for a fee!”
Doesn’t your conscience convict you? Don’t you see the evil of your murderous ways?
You are destroying Christ’s little ones, ripping them apart, taking away all their birthdays!

Have you considered……

That unless you repent, your punishment will be eternal hell, forever under God’s wrath,
So turn to Christ now! His anger is kindled against His enemies; there will be a bloodbath!
Forsake your sin of murder, and get right with God today; Do not neglect this warning!
For if you refuse to turn to Jesus, have you considered…. that your eternity will be full of anguish and mourning!

The Wonder of God’s Handiwork

Jamie Francis Poetry


Have you ever gazed in wonder upon the majestic handiwork of our Creator?
Have you noticed the mountain peaks carved out in their rugged beauty?
Have you ever wondered how the sun appears as it rises over the equator?
To ignore God when seeing any of these things is a woeful neglect of duty.

Have you heard the wondrous sound of water slowly trickling in a cave?
Have you heard the harmonious chorus of the robin and blackbird in the morning?
And how about the steady roar of the crashing ocean waves?
Does it make you drop to your knees and worship God? If not, I bring you a warning.

The heavens declare His glory! Please do not deny His infinite power,
The mountains, the oceans, the sun, the moon- they are all shouting,
That He alone is Creator of all that is; worship Him every minute, every hour.
Yes, God exists! And you will be judged by Him, so please stop doubting.

Have you ever noticed the majesty of the stars, how bright they shine!
Whom do you think these stars testify of? It is Yahweh! Fullness of divinity!
All of creation, from every sunrise to every deer giving birth, all are a sign,
Pointing to Him alone, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Blessed be the Trinity!

Jesus, Incarnate One

He took on flesh, the great I AM, the King,
Eternal God, became a man, let’s sing!
Let’s praise His holy Name, Yahweh, the LORD,
The Christ, sweetest of all, greatest reward!

The One who made all things, then became made,
A virgin birth; the Law fulfilled; He obeyed.
Then slain for us, Jesus, by God was cursed,
The perfect Lamb, who at His mother nursed.

What love! Imagine Him nailed to a cross!
What pain, what agony, what grief, what loss!
He chose this path, and endured; it’s why He came,
God’s Son, He came to die, despised the shame.

Never forget that He took all your blame,
Now go and make disciples in His Name!



Our Risen Savior

Jamie Francis Jesus Christ, Poetry
Cave, Tomb, Christ, Jesus, Risen, Rock, Sun, Brown Rock

The Risen One, up from the grave, Alive,
He conquered sin and death, awesome Savior!
And one day soon we will in heav’n arrive,
Hold fast to Him, believe, do not waver.

God-man, Deity, Incarnate One, Risen,
He set us free, to live for Him, Jesus!
No more a slave to sin, no more prison,
He came to seek and save, yes, He frees us.

Risen indeed, Christian, go live for Him,
The One who on that morn’ stood up and walked,
Our LORD, giving us hope; our sin was grim,
But God, He rose; He woke, He spoke, He talked.

That same life is in us, right now- this hour,
Christ’s life in you, be free, forgive, power!

The Heart of Christ

Jamie Francis Jesus Christ, Poetry

Oh how can words express the heart of Christ?
The heart of One so full of grace and love.
The Lovely One, He died, yes…. sacrificed,
He came for us, willing…. then disposed of.

The Christ, gentle and meek, as He sure was,
Bearing the weight of all our sin and shame.
But why, for what reason? What was the cause?
To seek and save, His heart was set aflame.

Jesus pleased God on that most dreadful cross,
Smitten by God, this was the Father’s plan.
Christ went through hell, darkness…. our gain, His loss,
For us He bled, the King, He bled….. God-man.

Oh how can words express the heart of Christ?
He freely chose, He chose to pay the price.

No Greater Gift

Jamie Francis Jesus Christ, Poetry
God, Religion, Cross, Christianity, Religious

No greater gift, The Father gave His Son,
A precious gift which cannot be replaced.
The Lamb’s victory at the cross was won,
Christ in our place, yes, completely disgraced.

The Christ, not us, suffering God’s great wrath,
Why did Jesus die, and not us who sinned?
Why is such mean cruelty His chosen path,
The One who healed, who loved, who calmed the wind?

In our place, yes, His blood for us was shed,
He drank the dreaded cup, He drank it all.
The Son of Man, of God, life-giving Bread,
The Father’s cup….. full! Oh the bitter gall!

Go look and see, go look at Calvary!
That cross, what love! Go now! Do not tarry!

God is in Control of 2021

Jamie Francis Fear, Poetry
New Year, New Year'S Eve, Fireworks

Christian, do not fear 2021; never, ever fear what the future will hold,
Whatever may come, good or bad, is in the palm of God’s mighty hand.
May we look to Him for our strength and hope, knowing He is with us,
Yes, this is enough! Have courage, child of God, be not afraid to take a stand!

You know that 2021 will come and go, just as it does for every single year,
And our great God will still be on His throne, seated in glory, just as always.
So let’s remember His infinite power and wisdom, and how much He cares for us,
Even in the midst of disease and death; He rules over these turbulent days.

So, look to the Heavens, and remember God’s faithfulness and love to you,
He bled and died for us, He calls us His own, and yes, Jesus is coming soon.
So do not fear what may happen in 2021; remember that God hasn’t changed,
He is still the same One who spoke and it was done; the stars, sun, and moon.

Reflecting on the World to Come

Jamie Francis Heaven, Hell, Jesus Christ, Poetry
Heaven, Clouds, Sunset, Cloudscape, Atmosphere, Sunrise

Reflecting on a world………

With no bitterness, no hatred, no envy, no anger, no violence and no strife,
No racism, no lust or evil desires, all of it absent in this most blessed afterlife.
Where we perfectly love and honor one another, with perfect peace in our midst,
Where reckless suspicions and false assumptions cannot, and will not, ever exist.

A world where everyone will honor each other with perfect kindness and love,
A love undiluted, untainted, no deception or pretense; all sin completely disposed of.
A love propelled forth by the Holy Spirit, with all affection centered on Jesus Christ,
The God-man, who reigns forever; He has earned Heaven for us, by His infinite sacrifice.

A world we do not deserve because of our great sin, and the evils of our own heart,
But Jesus Christ has finished the race for us, a race that we could never even start.
So, dear Christian, reflect often on the heavenly world to come, every day you awaken,
The promise of eternal life is all through the Word of God, and He is never mistaken.

A world with no desire to hurt or punish, or to even see another person suffer in pain,
With no Satan to tempt us, with no evil from within or without, nothing at all profane.
Where the glory of God will dominate the scene, with praises forevermore shouting,
As our faith will then become sight; we will see His shining face, the end of all doubting.

A glorious world where the unbelieving will not be, where the unrepentant sinner has no place, for this is a glorious place, where only Christians will dwell.

But…..

There is another world, a place of God’s eternal wrath, a place of judgment for those who reject the gospel, an indescribably horrific place the Bible calls hell.

So, if you are reading this and wonder…..

How do I escape God’s wrath and enter this glorious world? This world of no pain or suffering, full of love, joy, and peace, the place where God dwells, this perfect place of righteousness you speak of, this glorious world where there is no sin or vice?!

My dear friend, you escape God’s wrath only one way……..

Repent and believe in Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords! The One who shed His blood on the cross for sinners, who died and was buried, and who rose again on the third day! Then, and only then, will you be forgiven, and be assured of paradise!!
