Ring out the sound, ring out the bells, And of the gospel, tell them, tell. Do not hold back, and please don’t slack, For many of the truth do lack. Get that truth out, give it a shout, And don’t you now have any doubt That God can take it, take it far, So be … Continue reading Ring Out the Sound

Life’s Ups and Downs
Now life, it surely has its ups and downs. We never know when they will come around. We cannot know what tomorrow will bring, So, in every trial, we must sing.

The Pathway
She walked along a pathway And stumbled over stones. The pathway was not clear for her, And so she oft did roam. Her trinkets were her treasure, But not to others give. She selfishly held on to those And not for Christ did live. He in his pride was selfish, Held on to all his … Continue reading The Pathway

Looking, though, to others blame, Absolute, they feel no shame. Corner others with their tricks, That is how they get their kicks. Who, they … Continue reading Donkeys Honking
