Window Dressing
Window dressing, now impressing,Artful, skillful, and misleading,Superficial presentations,On this many now are feeding. Scheming, dreaming, eyes are beaming,Cunning, crafty, they are teaming,Skillful in their craft, deceiving,Many now in them believing. Fewer, fewer truth receiving,Less and less in Christ believing,Fewer, less, their sins are grieving,More and more they are deceiving. Fewer still the Lord obeying,And the … Continue reading Window Dressing

The World as We Know It
Slander, meander, and gander, not candor, Inviting, enticing, spicing, and dicing, Twirling, and hurling, and whirling, unfurling, Outrageous, egregious, rampageous, contagious. The world as we know it, not pretty, tis true, The world should not live now, not inside of you. The Spirit of God should now live in your heart, And from God you … Continue reading The World as We Know It

I Asked the Lord in Prayer
Today I asked the Lord in prayer If life on earth should not be fair, Should everyone get what’s deserved For all they’ve done, for all they’ve served. I contemplated that in mind, In hoping that the truth I’d find. And as I gave it some deep thought, The truth of all, it surely brought. … Continue reading I Asked the Lord in Prayer
Easter McFeaster
Your treasure your pleasures, Indulgent enjoyment, You follow whoever, And praise the flamboyant. The colors and baskets, The eggs all a plenty, The project, you task it, The purpose is empty. The bunnies with ribbons, The trinkets on tables, By greed you’ve been bitten, You then tell your fables. And Santa’s the bunny, Now dressed … Continue reading Easter McFeaster
