Time Tells
Tick Tock, hear the clock.Days are passing by.What’s your status?What’s your practice?Can you them deny? Time tells, speaks the truth,Does not tell a lie.What’s your coping?Are you doping?Godliness defy? Ink well, write a spell.What is that you think?Pretty pictures?Visual blunders?That is all the stink? For real, what’s the deal?Gotta have some fun?EntertainmentYour attainment,When your day … Continue reading Time Tells

God’s Holy Word
The Bible is God’s Holy Word.The saints of God it’s truly served.It’s written down, and so preservedBy those who, of the Word, they heard.

The gospel is contained within,The teachings about … Continue reading God’s Holy Word
I Say, “Goodnight”
I say, “Goodnight,” I say, “Goodbye,”I say, “Hello,” now don’t you cry,For life is short in many ways,We do not know how many days. For time is ticking, ticking by,We do not know when we will die,It could be soon, it could be late,For we know not the final date. For we are born and … Continue reading I Say, “Goodnight”
I Asked the Lord in Prayer
Today I asked the Lord in prayerIf life on earth should not be fair,Should everyone get what’s deservedFor 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. For life, you see, it isn’t … Continue reading I Asked the Lord in Prayer
Gone With the Wind
Gone with the wind are people in sin,Following platitudes in their ingratitude.Beckoning not Him they forgot,Bent on their fortitudes, slaves to their hardihood. All for the flesh that they refresh,Living their livelihoods slaves to consumer goods.Them caring not God they forgot,Living for selfishness and in deceptiveness. Living in sin, rejecting Him,They are adulterous, which is … Continue reading Gone With the Wind
