Doth lead to dark doom,
when it is given room.
Jesus was a Carpenter
Enthroned without a coup d'état
Never drove a Cadillac
He lived, as it were, in lack!

With so little, He was contented
Though He was frequently tempted
All the worldliness of the world
He always overcame with the Word!

King of kings and Lord of lords
He redeemed us from the laws
By His pure and cleansing blood
He has saved us from the flood!

His steps in life should be our course
Each bearing his and her own cross
Our hands and voices we must raise
To worship Him and give Him praise!

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mat 5:3)
Bad at following
rules;
even God's laws,
I've broken
all.
Feelings twirl in ceaseless
circuit;
pacific passion becomes
a rivulet.
Is it not that which the eyes
And mind together devise,
The chaff which the brain
Of man accepts as the grain?

For there is no universal balance
For measuring character and countenance:
Gay countries horn down the non-gay
That have opposed such a broad way.
The US and the EU have both threatened to cut down on aids giving to countries that have signed into law anti-gay bill, especially to Uganda and Nigeria.

The latter--but for ineptitude, corruption and want of wisdom--does not, and never should need, any aids to live in luxury, with the blessed billions of dollars swaggering into the country's coffers, but divert their moves to some very few folk's secret Swiss accounts, whilst leaving millions of others in wicked wretchedness. More's the pity!!
Love:

Why art thou bald in my heart,
When you ought to have grown
Strands of hair--lovelocks longer
Than the striking bow in the sky--
Reaching to the sole of my feelings?
Soul winning has limitless boons;
The Shepherd's welcoming glee:
To seek after the gone-astray sheep
And lead them to the fold of mercy.

He who converts a sinner to Christ
Reduces in this world crime and evil;
For they are creatures new who have
Been born again and deserted the devil,

Seeing for sweet sin the flesh yearns:
To be fed often with delightful iniquity.
By good deeds can no man be saved,
But by the blessed grace of Calvary.

Here, beneath the glittering sun--
The *wise shall inherit glad glory.
And there, beyond the shifting clouds--
They'll be relishing with Jesus eternally.
The *wise (Pro. 3:35; 11:30)
