Voices of Grace - Spoken Poems by Oluwaseyi Shedrack

When the Fire Fades

“When the Fire Fades” is a spoken poem about the quiet seasons of faith — the times when passion turns to silence, and God seems distant. It’s about learning that faith isn’t just a feeling, but a deeper flame that keeps burning, even when emotions fade. Written and performed by Oluwaseyi Shedrack #FaithPoetry #ChristianSpokenWord #SpiritualGrowth #SeasonsOfFaith #TrustGod 📜 Lyrics: When I first came alive in God, the scripture lit up like stars. Every verse had a voice, every word felt like it was written just for me. I saw things — not with my eyes, but with my spirit. I felt love rise up in me, for people I couldn’t even explain. I thought, “This is it. This is what it means to know God.” But then… the fire faded. The silence came. And I kept searching for what I once had — praying, weeping, waiting. I felt like I lost Him, or maybe… I lost myself. But now I’m starting to see. Maybe I was never lost. Maybe He was teaching me to walk by trust, not just feeling. Maybe the fire was the beginning, but now He’s building a deeper flame — something that doesn’t burn out, something that stays… even in silence. So I won’t give up. I won’t run. Because this journey isn’t about chasing the moments — it’s about becoming like Him. And if I keep walking, even slowly, I will find that the fire never left. It just moved… deeper.

The Beginning of Peace

“The Beginning of Peace” is a quiet reflection on where true peace is born — not in the absence of problems, but in the presence of understanding. It’s a spoken poem for moments when life feels heavy, yet your spirit still reaches for calm. Written and performed by Oluwaseyi Shedrack. #FaithPoetry #ChristianSpokenWord #PeaceInChrist #HealingWords Real peace doesn't begin when life gets easy. It begins when you understand what holds life together. Not just facts, not just beliefs— but a quiet, steady knowing. A deep understanding of the One behind everything. The more you know, the less you fear. The more you understand, the more joy rises from within. It is not about knowing all the answers, it is about knowing the source. That is the beginning of peace. That is the kind of joy the world can't take from you.

Still Becoming — A Poem of Faith in Progress

“Still Becoming” is a spoken poem about growth, grace, and divine patience. It’s for anyone who feels unfinished — a reminder that you are not a mistake in progress, but a masterpiece still forming in the hands of God. You are seen, shaped, and deeply loved… even in the in-between. Written and performed by Oluwaseyi Shedrack #FaithPoetry #ChristianSpokenWord #Becoming #GraceInProgress #HealingWords 📝 Full Poem (Lyrics): You — yes, you… with the question heavy in your chest, with silence louder than faith — you are not unfinished by accident. There’s something sacred about the fact that you are still here. Still standing. Still breathing. Still becoming. Because the One who started something in you didn’t walk away when the light dimmed, didn’t flinch when your hands shook, didn’t retreat when your prayers broke. What He began — that quiet work no one sees, the shift inside your soul, the healing beneath your silence — He’s still doing it. Still shaping it. Still loving you through it. You are not abandoned. You are not a paused promise. You are a process held in holy hands. Even when progress feels like standing still, even when you’re not sure if you’re getting better or just getting by — know this: He’s not done. He won’t be done until the day you see Him face to face. And until then… you are safe in the unfinished. You are strong in the slow. You are not behind — you are becoming. And every quiet step forward counts. So breathe. Rest if you need. But don’t stop. He’s still working — and so are you.

The Circle of Glory — A Trinitarian Poem

“The Circle of Glory” is a short spoken poem about the eternal harmony between the Father, Son, and Spirit — and how humanity is invited into that divine flow. It reminds us that glory isn’t taken, it’s shared — moving from God, to God, through God, in us. Written and performed by Oluwaseyi Shedrack #FaithPoetry #ChristianSpokenWord #Trinity #WorshipPoem #GloryToGod 📝 Full Poem (Lyrics): The Son looks up and gives glory to the Father. The Spirit moves and gives glory to the Son. Man obeys and gives glory to the Spirit. And somehow— all become one. Not in power, but in purpose. Not by force, but by love. Glory flows like a river— from God, to God, through God— in us.

"Famous" - Being Known by God

"Famous" is a spoken poem about the quiet longing to be seen — not by the world, but by the One who truly knows us. It’s a journey through fear, judgment, and hidden purpose — a reminder that true fame isn’t found in crowds or applause, but in being fully known by God. Written and performed by Oluwaseyi Shedrack #FaithPoetry #ChristianSpokenWord #IdentityInChrist #HealingWords 📝 Full Poem (Lyrics): I always dream of being famous, Not for the light, Not for the crowd, But for the chance to be fully seen — and not judged. Because long before the cameras, Before the applause I never heard, I met someone who listened, Not to my words, but to the tremble beneath them. He didn’t shut me down, Didn’t weigh me like people do. He looked at me and saw truth, Even when I didn’t believe in me. But now I stand, Quiet in the shadow of fear, Judgment, Embarrassment — The lie that says I’m too strange to be loved, Too different to be heard. So I hide... No pictures, No stage, No voice. But something inside still burns — A name. A light. A purpose. Because I wasn’t born just to watch others live. I was called. Crafted. Loved. And maybe... just maybe, The most powerful fame Is being known by God — And finally knowing me.
