Keep them safe, Lord, keep them safe.Don’t let death, Lord, be their fate.Keep them in your tender care.Don’t let them be caught in snare. Lead them in the way to go,Show them truth, Lord, let them know.Help them follow You each day,Read their Bibles, kneel, and pray. Keep them from the snares of death,Till they … Continue reading Keep Them Safe

Sun Rays on a Cloudy Day
Sun rays on a cloudy dayBright stars on a dark nightFresh water in a fierce stormCool breeze when the sun’s warm Birds singing as the waves crashClouds part as the fog blocksMoon shining through a cool mistSeems that but is it this? How see when you look at that?Bright stars or a dark night?Fresh water … Continue reading Sun Rays on a Cloudy Day
Platitudes Magnitudes
Platitudes in magnitude,Tasteless, lifeless, wishy-washy,Tired and worn out, old and musty,Great in size and mushy-gushy. Have no meaning, take no stance,Here or there just happenstance,Say whatever, take a chance,Entertain them, do your dance. Lies a plenty, do their tricks,Inside or outside, get their kicks,Up or down, it makes no matter,They are filled with empty chatter. … Continue reading Platitudes Magnitudes
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
Strange Bedfellows
Blocking, stalking, fans are flocking,Strange bedfellows, they’re not knocking.Peeking through the windows plenty,As if love they ain’t got any. Window chasers, they are gazers,Destitute, they are debasers.Lusts a plenty, not without,They go there, without a doubt. All is for them, them not caring,Who it is on they are staring,Self-indulging, wasted effort,They are hiding, not transparent. … Continue reading Strange Bedfellows
Theatre
Drama, drama, noise they’re making,Theatre, all for the taking,Cast their spells and brew their vermin,Cook their stew for all who’re list’ning. Trouble, trouble, always something,Worst is first and lies they’re mixing,Countless hours on same subject,Drive it home, that is the object. Keep them coming, keep it brewing,For emotions they are stirring,One dies down so raise … Continue reading Theatre
Heartstrings
What’s pulling on your heartstrings tonight? Is it concern over a loved one who’s dying?Or o’er someone who’s sad, who is crying? Is it money that seems not to comeWhen you direly need to have some? Is it fire destroying all that’s around?Or, is it water that’s not to be found? Is it that you … Continue reading Heartstrings
I Pray This Would Be the Time
Many false commitmentsThat were not true to form.Many false confessionsThat not to Christ conformed. Many empty chattersThat ne’er went anywhere.Many lies, deceptions,And not the truth was shared. Many staged professionsOf faith, faith not sincere.Many times admissionsOf sin, not truth in gear. Many are such wand’ringsOf those who not repent.They go through the motionsAnd yet their … Continue reading I Pray This Would Be the Time
What’s Your Purpose?
What’s Your Purpose? Why you be?Are you trapped? Or are you free?In and out is where you are?Sometimes nearer? Sometimes far? Broken record played each time?Nothing changes, not in time?Worn out efforts do not workSo you angry? So you irk? What’s the purpose, shrink from all?You no courage? You no gall?Run away is your escape?You’re … Continue reading What’s Your Purpose?
Darling, Where are You?
Many of us have loved ones we care about who are professing faith in Jesus Christ but who are not living what they profess. We are concerned for them for we can see the damage they are doing to their lives, and we know that there is a better life for them if they will … Continue reading Darling, Where are You?
