*Pastor’s Note: Continuing to showcase some of my favorite contemporary Christian poets, this week I want to highlight a Christian Sister whom I have known since I first started doing online ministry way back in the 1990s, Carrie Kinyon.
Sister Carrie has her own website and you can find the Home link below. As always, Glory to God for all of the creative gifts He gives so bountifully. God Bless!

Carrie Kinyon
When there’s no place else to turn
When no one seems to care
I can turn to Jesus
He’s always waiting there.
It seems I’m so alone
In this world of pain and woe
And when my heart is breaking
There’s just no place to go
But then I think of Jesus
How He gave His life for me
My burdens all seem lighter
All because of Calvary.
I think of how He suffered
All alone there on that day
Even God the Father
Had to turn His face away.
My sin was upon Him
As He hung there on the tree
He knows grief and loneliness
That’s why He’s always there for me.
