I have written a number of poems that pastors could use in sermons or use in drama. They are Christian poems that speak of the son of Abraham, the blood on the door to save the children, the baptism of Jesus in the river, the death of Jesus and the eternal home of heaven. I am a retired president of Bible College .
In a number of years ago I wrote a variety of poems that speak of the Lamb of God. Some time ago I read them again and it came to me to use them in a number of ways. They could be used by pastors in their messages, find a place for them in church bulletins, use them at Easter time and use them in drama. The poems are written in rhymed couplets and in the metric of Chuacer.
