Ring out the sound, ring out the bells, And of the gospel, tell them, tell. Do not hold back, and please don’t slack, For many of the truth do lack. Get that truth out, give it a shout, And don’t you now have any doubt That God can take it, take it far, So be … Continue reading Ring Out the Sound

Storms are Howling
Storms are howling, folks not bowing, Headstrong in their plans a plenty, Trust in God they ain’t got any, They not friend, they are the en’my. Tricks and trappings, fingers snapping, Sins a plenty they are adding, Those who love God, they attacking, Wickedness, it is not napping. They are showing their true colors, They … Continue reading Storms are Howling
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 … Continue reading Donkeys Honking

He’s not about presents, On humans dependent To make life now matter, But with empty chatter. He’s not into light shows, … Continue reading All About Christmas

Broken Hearts
Oh, how hearts breaking. Sinners are faking, Lies they are making, Love they’re forsaking. Broken hearts aching. Liars pretending, And not hearts mending, And not love sending, Sin they’re defending, Truth they are bending. Shooting their arrows, Not good bedfellows, Not on road narrow, Lies they do swallow, All this foreshadowed. Immoral are they, E’en … Continue reading Broken Hearts
Sincerity of Faith
Sincerity of faith, what does that look like? – Believing in Jesus, doing what He says. Looking in your mirror, what do you look like? Walking with Jesus Christ? Or spiritually dead? From your sins repented? Or still live in sin? Walking in obedience? Saying “No!” to sin? Walking the narrow road? Or on the … Continue reading Sincerity of Faith
