Coming Out on Top

How about that Brahms composin’ In the shadow of Beethoven?Think it’s tough to follow the team Who has been the champs? Got nothin’ to gain in fame And all to lose in the battle. But in this place and time You were saddled By the One who guides mankind Leaving no one chosen behind. And […]

Christmas Celebration

Christmas is a time of celebration When out come those meridian decorations And friends come by to share Food, talk, and moderate inebriation. Got lots to eat and drink, Share the news, the blues, and think About the time we’ll have above When nothing separates the love That God would lavish upon us Who are […]

What Choo Know, China Joe?

What choo know, China Joe? Got some babies you can kill? Give the momma a pill? Or suck that baby out With a tube and a knife Take that little one’s very life? You’re no better than a robber Come to take from the house, Sneaky as a lowly mouse: Anything that you can find, […]

Can’t Have Three!

Got our two And we’re through! Responsible, you see, Can’t have three. O mercy me! Got to go with the flow, Do what they say. Matters not What says the Word! Who ever heard Of bucking the crowd, For crying out loud? Got to go with the flow Don’t ya know?  Even so Got some […]

The Almighty Comes

And then the Almighty comes And the sound of the drums Drowns out all the yelling and protest Against His law and decree That promise He made to free All from the din of sin, Even the dark that hides The Truth from sick hearts That refuse to lose Their attachment to this world Tossed […]

Men, We Must

Men, we must not fall short On the pledge we made To keep serving and wooing Our good mates to whom on a date We made pledges of marriage Ever to keep ourselves pure And steady in our lives to ensure That we never drift apart Ever ready to make that new start And after […]
