Time is Ticking
Time is ticking, ticking by,Birds are singing, babies cry,Hearts are mourning things long dead,Words ill spoken, should not said. So regretful, those who mournOver things should not been born,Wish that they could all erase,And the truth not have to face. We cannot erase the past,Even if we pray and fast.What we did will long live … Continue reading Time is Ticking
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?

It’s Christmastime
It’s Christmastime all over the world,But what does that mean exactly? Shopping and presents and idols galore?Never yet satisfied. Always want more? Busily, hurriedly, racing for time?Gotta have this gift, and nothing to find? Santa and reindeer now fly through the air,Packing their presents, now done with a flair? Children all googled-eyed, caught by it … Continue reading It’s Christmastime
Death
When death comes a knocking on your door,Will you be ready to meet your Lord?Have you repented of all your sins?Have you made Jesus your Lord within? Or are you still living your life for self,While you put Jesus up on the shelf?Is your life consumed with pleasing you?Fulfilling your lusts is what you do? … Continue reading Death
Bitterness
Bitterness will eat you up,Make you now its slave.Bitterness will fill your cup,Drink from it always. Bitterness affects your life,Happiness not found.Bitterness will grind you up,Churning round and round. Must forgive if you be freeFrom what holds you down.Must depart from bitter roots,Or in them you’ll drown. Sadness steals the joyful heart,Turns a smile to … Continue reading Bitterness
