The world as we know it is passing away.Corrosion, corruption have come here to stay.The lies and deceptions are plain as can be.They capture the multitudes; few are now free. They kill and they trick and they lie through their teeth.They think they’re above, but they’re really beneath.So many believe them, who fall for their … Continue reading It’s Passing Away

Clouds and Thunder
Clouds and thunder, days of hunger,Enemies lurking, liars working,Not good fellows, armies bellow,All asunder, bad men blunder. Time is ticking, truth not clicking,Faith in God to wise men sticking.Foolishness is now accepted,Truth of God is intercepted. Truth and lies now interchanging,For the gospel rearranging,Good is evil, evil good,For the truth not understood. Jesus said that … Continue reading Clouds and Thunder
Purity’s Principle
Why, my beloved,Do you search near and farFor what never will satisfyYour deep longings of heart? Why must you flitterFrom here and to thereSeeking for pleasureIn other affairs? You seek not the wisdomOf God in your heart.From Godly counselYou ever depart.

I Want to Draw You a Picture
Based off Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22 I want to draw you a picture,Not for your mantel or fixture.It’s drawn with letters and numbers,Focused on those who do slumber. I know your works and endurance,How you’ve found in Me assurance.You’ve abandoned love had at first,So, for other things you do thirst. (1) I know now of … Continue reading I Want to Draw You a Picture
What Life is About
Life and love and hate and evil,Peace and calm and oft upheaval,Day by day, and ins and outs,Faith and purpose, tears and doubts, Sun and rain and sleet and hail,Live with purpose, sometimes fail,Morning, noon, and nighttime, too,Middle age and old and new, Never know what each day brings,Have a lot; not many things;Living here … Continue reading What Life is About
No Tears on Outside
He’s hurting, he’s crying,No tears on outside.He’s injured, he’s stirring,All now kept inside. He’s failing for wordsTo say all that he feels.He cannot express,Cannot make his appeals. His outside is inside,Trapped now in his skin,Knows not where to turn,And his faith’s wearing thin. He doesn’t know who to trust.Who really cares?And so he says nothing,In … Continue reading No Tears on Outside
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. We have no control over floods and storms, Over things that happen not in our norms. We can’t anticipate everything. We have to remember … Continue reading Life’s Ups and Downs
Why Do I Do What I Do?
Why do I do what I do each day?Why do I trust God and to Him pray?Why do I give my life up to Him?Why do I live for Him, not for a whim? I have learned many things in my life.Some things I learned from Him, learned in strife.Empty, hurting I was, needed Him.Needed … Continue reading Why Do I Do What I Do?
Where is Jesus in Your Celebrations?
Is He there, or barely mentioned?Does He fit with all the tension?Is He in the ribbons, wrappings?Is He in the culture’s trappings? Is He in the food and parties?Overeating, faith departing?Is He in the twisted humor?Is He in the stories rumored? Is He in the decorations?Is He in the mild flirtations?Is He in your conversations?Or … Continue reading Where is Jesus in Your Celebrations?
