The World as We Know It
Slander, meander, and gander, not candor, Inviting, enticing, spicing, and dicing, Twirling, and hurling, and whirling, unfurling, Outrageous, egregious, rampageous, contagious. The world as we know it, not pretty, tis true, The world should not live now, not inside of you. The Spirit of God should now live in your heart, And from God you … Continue reading The World as We Know It

Ring Out the Sound
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
