An Original Work / May 30, 2018

Time, it isn’t
on our side.
Clocks are ticking.
Hours go by.

Satan’s lurking
‘round the bend.
Life eternal’s
Without end.

See, the church is
Fast asleep.
Satan’s dressed like
Li’l Bo Peep.

Gospel message
Watered down.
Many preachers
Act like clowns.

Pornographic
Liter’ture
In the pockets
Of “mature.”

Scanty clothing
All around.
Decency is
rarely found.

Make excuses,
Then God blame:
Follow Him?
“Now, that’s insane!”

Turn from your sin?
“Surely not!”
Obey His Word?
“That’s a plot!”

Follow idols?
“Surely do.”
Watch what’s garbage?
“So, what’s new?”

Television
Fries your minds;
Mystifies you;
Makes you blind.

Listen, then, the
Word of God –
Nurtures sheep
With staff and rod.

Hope, in truth is
Surely found.
Heaven’s home
Is where I’m bound.

Follow Jesus
Where He leads.
Listen to Him.
His Word heed.

He forgives you
Of your sins.
Walk in freedom,
Cleansed within.

Forsake idols.
Glad you’ll be.
Live with Him
Eternally.

Soon He’s coming
Back for you.
Live in vict’ry.
Trust what’s true.

You’ll be surely
Glad you did,
When, in Jesus,
You’re now hid.
