Sad to See
Sad to see so many lost,So many so afraid.Sad to see the circumstanceWhen Christians fail to pray. Sad to see the Bibles closed,Now sitting on a shelf.Sad to see the church engagedIn entertaining self. Sad to see the gospel toldTo satisfy the flesh.Sad to see how many livesAre lived in wickedness. Sad to see church … Continue reading Sad to See
His Story
The mountains declare the praises of God.Their beauty proclaims His glory. The sky and the clouds, the stars up aboveGive evidence of His story.

We have no excuse if we not believeIn … Continue reading His Story

Unrequited Love
Based off Psalms 36 You speak words of love to me,But your actions deny them.Your eyes, full of adultery,Testify against you. Promises made, but not kept,Words spoken, often in jest,Hardhearted and prideful unrest,Put your Lord to the test. You think that I am like you.In your image, you make me.You conform me to your likeness.Your … Continue reading Unrequited Love
Steadfast is Your Love
Based off Psalms 25 O my God, I trust in You.Help me to know Your ways.Give me understanding, Lord.Guide my thoughts each day. Enemies pursue me, Lord.They have no fear of You.Lies, betrayal, traitorous;Haters, vicious, too. Steadfast is Your love, O Lord.Lead me in what is right.Turn to me, be gracious, Lord.Ponder now my plight. … Continue reading Steadfast is Your Love
Wayward Children
Wayward children, wandering souls,Thoughtless people, varying roles,Walk in darkness, seeing no light,For from Jesus, taken their flight. Have no mercy, walking in sin,Self-indulgent, drinking their gin,All about them, not about God,But the many wear a façade. Put a mask on, others impress,Think they’re being such a success,But they’re not, for time they do waste,For the … Continue reading Wayward Children
Lies and Betrayals
Lies and betrayals,And many a tale,And multitudes sacrificedWhile their chiefs hailed. Ribbons and marches,And buildings and arches,And letters of magnitude,And those of gratitude. Crowds of confusionAnd lots of illusionsLeaves many in darknessRegardless of smartness. The enemy knows how to fool,Armored with many a tool,Knows where our triggers lie,Knows that for what we’ll die. For he … Continue reading Lies and Betrayals
Donkeys Honking
Donkeys honking in their pride,Taking others for a ride,Telltale signs of something bad,Someone somewhere has been had. Magic tricks, that is their game,Mischief making, all the same.Looking, though, to others blame,Absolute, they feel no shame. Corner others with their tricks,That is how they get their kicks.Who, they think, can they deceive?Who can they get to … Continue reading Donkeys Honking
