When I last saw him he was hunkered downDown for the long haul, got nowhere to runClosed in his spaces, time is not his friendWhen will this be o’er? Will it ever end? Life is a changing, change from day to dayBack and forth it goes in so many waysFear and confusion, messages galoreKeeps us … Continue reading Down for The Long Haul

In This Crazy World
Written during the time of the Covid Crisis of 2020 In this crazy world of ours,With emotions flying high,With fear mongers at their worstBlowing everything sky high, Can we trust in what they say?Do their words to us make sense?Is it logical to sayThat a few is an event? An agenda, do they have?Is it … Continue reading In This Crazy World
Don’t Let the Raindrops
Don’t let the raindrops spoil your day.Don’t let the clamoring get in the way.Don’t let opinions and thoughts of the millionsImpact how you’re feeling. Trust God, bow and pray. Don’t let your feelings rule what you do.Don’t let misgivings affect your life, too.Don’t let the stages of life with its phasesLead you through the ages. … Continue reading Don’t Let the Raindrops
Churning, Burning
Heartless, callous, given to pride,Cruel masters side by side,Churning, burning, inside out,Leading people, God to doubt. Winsome lovers of the flesh,Oh, their sins they do caress.Given to mockery, for a laugh,Then, on purpose, make a gaffe. Hiding all their sins in pride,They take people for a ride.Big deceivers, known for tricks,They hurt people just for … Continue reading Churning, Burning

An Overwhelming Sadness
Do you ever feel an overwhelming sadness?All around you seems then to be so much pain.Sin has run amok within the walls of churches.For the gospel truth, there is so much disdain. Men in pulpits hiding sins behind the curtain,Making jokes about the sacred things of God.For a laugh, they will compromise the Scriptures toKeep … Continue reading An Overwhelming Sadness
I Am Yours
When I think of You, Lord,In the watches of the night,I am filled with wonderAt the power of Your might. All that lies before me,All that You have planned for me,Fills my life with purpose,So my heart now sings with glee. Each day in Your presence,As my heart draws close to You,I want to adore … Continue reading I Am Yours
Old Cross, New Cross
The old cross is the crossOn which our Savior died.He took our sins upon Himself,And He was crucified. He died upon that crossTo put our sins to death,That we might die with Him to sinAnd live to righteousness. The new cross, not the same.On sin it puts no blame.It satisfies the flesh of man.He does … Continue reading Old Cross, New Cross
