Paladin damage help

I am making a 7th level Paladin and he has Vow of Poverty and the Saint Template (ECL 9). At this level his damage with his first attack is:
1d8 (longspear) +3 (str bonus + exalted strike)
+1d6 vs evil
+7 (smite evil)
+5d6 (divine sacrifice spell)
+7 (divine might)
+10 power attack
i was wandering if these is a way to do more damage, specially against non-evil creatures.

I think that with a Saint Paladin you are kind of crippled against non evil, in a manner of speaking at least. You will never be as effective against non evil as you are against evil. You could pick up battle blessing, lets you cast almost all paladin spells as a swift action. At 10th you get your next exalted strike bonus and at 11 you get your next Ability score bump from VoP. Is you strength a 14 or 15, because next level you drop a point there if it is odd for another point. But with VoP all you can do is wait.

I was wandering if there is any feat that adds bonus to damage from an other stat than strength. I searched all my books but i didn't find something so i though i ask here.
The only thing i found was Divine Weapon at the netbook of feats that adds my charisma bonus but i don't know if it stacks with smite.
The ideal is to find a feat that adds the wisdom modifier to damage, or constitution if it exists.

General wisdom is that stat to damage is worth 3 class levels.

Since class levels are worth more than feats, you shouldn't find any stat to damage feats (and if one exists in the house rule netbook of feats then it shouldn't be allowed in a real game.)

Have you checked the alternative class feature from PH 2 ? I think it deserves.. 3 times your paladin lvl on damage rolls instead of 1 when you charge and smite
Also try taking a leap attack feat
My last suggestion always prepare rhino's rush spell (if you do not know it is a lvl 1 spell and makes your next attack double dmg when you charge)
