Tears Were in His Eyes
One day as I was walkingAlong a lonely roadI came across a personOf whom I’d not been told He was not one prestigious –Not in the eyes of manHe looked like one desertedLike one whom they had canned He had a sad composureFor tears were in his eyesAnd as I now observed himThen I began … Continue reading Tears Were in His Eyes
When God Calls You
When God calls you to obey Him,Do His will, and not betray Him,Count the cost, ‘twill not be easy,Not for fun, and not be breezy. Not for you, and not for pleasure,Not so you lay up your treasures,But so you obey Him freely,Do His will and not what’s feely. Go with Him where’re He leads … Continue reading When God Calls You

Time is ticking, ticking by,Birds are singing, babies cry,Hearts are mourning things long dead,Words ill spoken, should not said. So regretful, those who mournOver things should not been born,Wish that they could all erase,And the truth not have to face. We cannot erase the past,Even if we pray and fast.What we did will long live … Continue reading Time is Ticking

It’s Christmastime
It’s Christmastime all over the world,But what does that mean exactly? Shopping and presents and idols galore?Never yet satisfied. Always want more? Busily, hurriedly, racing for time?Gotta have this gift, and nothing to find? Santa and reindeer now fly through the air,Packing their presents, now done with a flair? Children all googled-eyed, caught by it … Continue reading It’s Christmastime
Death
When death comes a knocking on your door,Will you be ready to meet your Lord?Have you repented of all your sins?Have you made Jesus your Lord within? Or are you still living your life for self,While you put Jesus up on the shelf?Is your life consumed with pleasing you?Fulfilling your lusts is what you do? … Continue reading Death
