What To Do?

What to do when You’re through with school Go on a picnic? Bomb a clinic? What to do with your life? Oh there is strife With all the sin Slackers suckin’ on gin, But you have a rule A trustworthy tool, That word from above It’s all about love And the Truth sent down A […]

Something About a Letter

There is something about a letter.Unwrap it from an envelope Feed that anticipation and hope News from a friend or kin What has life brought them? What news from afar?A good way for the day to start Others are those he came for And so are we to open the door For those who yet […]

Wanna Live Long?

So you wanna live long Less food and give up the bong? Well, you need a new song. You sing to the One above Who showed us all that love. Said you wanna lengthen your days? Got to walk in My ways! Got to love, obey, and hold fast. Says right there in Deuteronomy. Page […]

“Two Children, Maybe Three”

Like the wandering Aramean God called you to follow Him When you would have gone astray Flailing and tripping day to day But good He was to save your soul, Bind you up and make you whole. Now come opponents left and right Thinking that they have the might But really nothing knowing While in […]

Greatest Regret

My greatest regret and lamentation Was that moment when I crept up Behind my singing wife and Laughed while she sang out with joy To herself, the angels, and to God. As I chucked at a tune imperfect To the sophisticated ear, She discovered my eaves drop And did stop, quite disturbed Never again to […]

Silence!

Silence! Silence!  Tell nobody When you do a deed that’s true. You don’t need that praise and glory, Someone else will tell your story. Let devils cry and saints rejoice. Way up there is where the voice That matters must be heard and Righteous deeds flow from the Word. Angels ever will declare Deeds down […]
