As a trained engineer, I knew I that was not a fan of poetry. However, a preacher challenged that assumption. He would preach from time to time at my church and he always ended his sermon with a poem. To my surprise, I was entranced every time. So I came to realize that I had just been reading the wrong poems (thanks again, high school English class).

Here are some Christian poems that have become precious to me over the years. Maybe you’ll like them, too.
