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
Traffic Jam
Stopped up traffic, where to go?Where’s the answers? Do you know?Pitter-patter, quick and light,Truth has taken a big flight. Easy road takes you around,Where the truth not to be found.Flitter-flatter, do their tricks,Play their games and pick up sticks. All’s a game, they do the same,Lies they tell are really lame.Make up things, they go … Continue reading Traffic Jam
Nonsense, Nonsense
Nonsense, nonsense coming from their mouths,Raise their banners, raise them very loud,Bold in witness, that but not of God,Please the world and draw in their large crowds. “Win the world to us, but not to God,Please the crowds and make sure music’s loud,Tell some jokes, and have a new cartoon,Twist the Scriptures morning, night, and … Continue reading Nonsense, Nonsense
Bring Them Home
They are wand’ring far from home,From the Lord their souls do roam.Looking not to God above,Trusting not in Jesus’ love. Trusting in themselves alone,Spending time on their Smart PhonesDoing what their flesh desires,And do not what God requires. Looking to the flesh of man,Not on God’s grace do they stand.Stand on intellect and flesh,With the … Continue reading Bring Them Home
A Fateful Day
A fateful day on lives did prey,A sadness filled the air.Then fear arose, and billows flowed,And lives were in despair. Confusion felt by all that day.In wonderment they staredAs buildings fell, and dreams dispelled,Their future now they feared. The flags half mast, the people bowedTheir heads to pray to God.They called on Him to help … Continue reading A Fateful Day
Be So Aware
Of Satan’s snare be so aware,And do not live without a care.He’ll wipe you right off of your feetAnd kick you down in deep defeat.He’s tricky, he is, there’s no doubt,He’ll give a one, two, then you’re out. So, put on armor that’s of God,Remain awake, without a nod.Walk in the light, and not the … Continue reading Be So Aware

I Will Not Cave
What’s weighing on my heart tonight?So many things that just aren’t right.A list of them, I have not made.But into them, I will not cave. I give them all to Christ aloneWho for my sins He did atone.How beautiful the love of HimWho cares for me – not on my own. I worry not, oh, … Continue reading I Will Not Cave
