To serve The LORD, surely pays...
For He protects, all your days...
And will give His, angels charge...
To keep you, in all your ways!

To grow Faith, the Bible says...
For the Christian, reads and prays...
And the Good News, to discharge...
To convert, a heart that stays!

To follow Christ, is no faze...
For my Jesus, will I raise...
And His Word, will I enlarge...
To then set, this world ablaze!

Thru deception of sin,
too many bereave...
The enemy’s at work;
just don’t be naive!
He’s cunning and crafty,
of this I perceive...
CHRIST; the only answer!  
But, you MUST believe!
Repent of your sins,
and then you’ll receive...
Everlasting life!  
A new heart conceived!

My life was hard; not all was right...
It seemed as though, no end in sight!
And thoughts did then, give me a fright...
‘Cause for years went I, a *******!

If sin remained, then this my plight...
The sting of death, would surely bite!
Evil within, one day He’ll smite...
His wrath will He soon, start pouring!

Sweet peace is near, but yet not quite...
Still need to squeeze, my pillow tight!
Enduring weeping, thru the night...
But my joy will come, by morning!

Broken heart, and spirit contrite...
With God I know, my future’s bright!
Now everything, will be alright...
For my life in Christ, is soaring!

His actions became blurry...
When he began to scurry!
Soon, I was in a flurry...
Resulting in blind fury!
I judged him in a hurry...
Also, I was the jury!
The question then begs...
Why pray, when I can worry?

Today I seek, to thee, advise...
To gird up thy *****, and arise!
Night will come, when no man can work...
But he that winneth souls, is wise!

Satan surely, blinded their eyes...
He is the father of ALL lies!
And behind the scenes, he will lurk...
Masquerading, his disguise!

We must run, to obtain the prize...
Focused and with, no compromise!
This evil world, has gone berserk...
O Lord, we pray you’ll hear, our cries!

Seeking sinful pleasures; such was my game...
Friendships forsaken, my purpose to maim!
The law condemned me, ‘cause I was to blame...
Repentance from sin, to escape Hell’s flame!
Turning to Jesus, from that life I came...
And yet still I retain, much guilt and shame!
A heart transformation, no more the same...
For now I am clean!  I have a new name!

The deeper a man goes in…
And conscience seared within…
Is overcome and taken by…
The numbing nature of sin!

Because man has forsaken…
God’s law on hearts t’was written…
Blinded eyes believed The Lie…
And received this great burden!

But God’s Grace by Faith can win…
For His love of ALL certain…
Sent His only Son to die…
So that New Life could begin!

Abiding in Him, because He is the reason...
Forsaking all, so I won’t commit treason!
Choosing rather to suffer affliction than...
Enjoying pleasures of sin for a season!

Worldly pleasures, will our vision blur...
Knowing temptations, do often obscure.
Our Victory's in Jesus! We have the Cure!
Surrender to HIM...to thee, I adjure!
Having clean hands, and hearts that are pure...
Give ALL diligence! Make your Calling sure!

My children are persuaded,
by foolish delights...
They’re searching for happiness,
with boys in their sights!
Each time I visit, them do I,
caution with love...
“Store not treasures on Earth,
but in Heaven above!”

They say they know Jesus,
but in works they deny...
Yet if only they knew,
that His coming is nigh!
Then would God become first,
in their actions and thoughts...
And their worldly gains would they know,
‘tis all for naught!

LORD, please help me wake them,
for they are sound asleep...
Depart from the ninety-nine,
to go after these sheep!
I pray that you’ll find them,
both unharmed by this world...
Because they are so precious;
my two little girls!

As your Heavenly Father,
has forgiven you...
Remember ALL that He has done,
and likewise do!
For He remembers not,
from the east to the west...
Your repented past,
but only you at your best!
In that day,
mercy will against mercy rejoice...
And, most assuredly,
pardon will have a voice!
But if you forgive not,
to harbor bitterness...
You withhold the hand of God,
and all His goodness!
So, let us suffer ourselves,
defrauded to be...
That we can live clean,
and be of this ******* free!

Cries of Halabja, still ringing in ears...
Often upset me, and bring me to tears.
As I ponder now, I think it absurd...
To take the lives, of so many a Kurd!
Anger and rage, fill my heart when I read...
About those who suffered, and left to bleed.
So terrible a sight, on this black day!
All anyone could do, was kneel down to pray.

Without a just cause, many souls were taken...
Doesn’t make sense, all should’ve awakened!
Mothers clinching, so frantically to their young...
The many little feet, that no longer sprung.
The fainting whispers, of each child’s last breath...
How could they know, they were nigh unto death?
Fathers returning back, to find homes desolate...
With families now dead, they become desperate.

This was sheer, brutal annihilation...
And strong will, for mass elimination!
Could not we prevent, such an execution?
Or do we condone, this vile persecution?
Why this violence escaped punishment...
While so many Kurds, still weep and lament?
Well, who am I? I was not even there...
Just a small voice, but someone who cares.

God is very clear...
Be ye doers of His Word...
And not only hear!

My purpose to wake you,
and shake you to your core...
Leave this world behind you,
and of its sin, abhor!
For what is your life?
Just a tiny, small vapor...
After a little time,
soon death knocks on your door!
No respecter of persons,
whether rich or poor...
It comes to interfere,
the life you had in store!
HERE, nothing can compare,
for THERE is so much more...
When Christ is All in All,
your life will He restore

Worldly pursuits, will come to naught...
‘Cause All these things, will one day rot!
Please remember, the wife of Lot...
To be content, with what you’ve got!

Abstain from sin, of this we ought...
For Hell is real, and very hot!
Sinful pleasures, are what you’ve sought...
Yet great the sorrow, when you’re caught!

Against His will, is what you’ve fought...
And for this cause, your name He’ll blot!
He will say, of the life you’ve wrought...
“Depart from me...I knew you not!”

This life is but a vapor,
then to rest laid...
Like the flowers and the grass,
it will soon fade!
My focus on Jesus,
while others have strayed...
Being friends of this world,
but they just got played!

When thoughts became sinful,
transgressions were made...
And now, when looking back,
they wish they had stayed!
If only God was first,
and that they had prayed...
Eternity with Christ ,
there’s no equal trade!

Lacy could spot deer afar,
as an Army grunt...
While in hot pursuit,
she was always out in front!
Locating each shot deer,
was also quite the stunt...
And to think that she even,
might have been the runt!
Lacy is amazing,
and to be the more blunt...
Life is way too short,
with an ugly dog, to hunt!

Bitter roots springing up,
will many defile...
Thru unforgiving thoughts,
does satan beguile!
After a time, therefore,
do they become vile.
Continuing this rage,
they’ll of others revile...
Yet stand without excuse,
before HIM, on trial!

BUT GOD, knowing sin’s wages,
delays awhile...
Wanting none perish and,
that ALL reconcile!
