15 Christian Poems for Kids

1. God Made Everything

God made the sun so bright and warm, God made the clouds and every storm. He made the trees, the flowers, the bees, The mountains tall and rolling seas.

2. Jesus Loves Me Always

When I'm happy, when I'm sad, When I'm good or when I'm bad, Jesus loves me every day, He never goes away. In the morning, in the night, Jesus holds me close and tight. His love is bigger than the sea, Jesus always cares for me!

This poem reinforces the unconditional love of Jesus, helping children feel secure in God's constant presence.

3. My Little Prayer

A simple prayer poem that children can recite daily to start their morning or before meals.

4. Noah's Ark

5. I Am Special to God

God knows my name, He knows my face, He made me special, full of grace. He knows my thoughts, my hopes, my dreams, I'm more important than it seems. Before I speak, God hears my heart, He loved me from the very start. I am special, this I know, Because God made me and loves me so!

6. The Good Shepherd

Based on Psalm 23 and Luke 15, this poem teaches children that Jesus cares for them like a shepherd cares for sheep.

7. Fruits of the Spirit

Love and joy and peace so bright, Patience, kindness do what's right! Goodness, faithfulness each day, Gentleness in all I say. Self-control will help me grow, These are fruits that I should show. Holy Spirit, live in me, Help me be all I can be!

8. David and Goliath

David was a boy so small, Goliath was so big and tall. Everyone was filled with fear, But David said, "God is here!" With five smooth stones and faith so strong, David knew that God would help him all along. The giant fell down to the ground, God's power in the small is found!

9. God Hears My Prayers

When I'm scared or feeling blue, God, I know I can talk to You. You listen to my every prayer, You're always with me everywhere. I can talk to You at night, I can pray with all my might. You hear me when I call Your name, God, You always stay the same!

10. The Bible Is God's Word

The Bible is a special book, Inside its pages, take a look! God's words are written there for me, Stories, lessons, history. It teaches me what's wrong and right, It fills my heart with heaven's light. Every day I'll read and pray, God's Word will guide me on my way.

11. Be a Light

Jesus said to let my light shine, Showing others His love divine. I can smile and I can share, I can show others that I care. When I'm kind and when I'm true, People see Jesus shine through. Little light, shine so bright, Be a blessing, be God's light!
