JACOB AND ESAU,
Twin brothers were they,
But each was different,
And went his separate way.

Jacob the younger represents
Men of subtlety, Esau the elder,
represents men who are worldly.

Jacob, one day with help from his Mother,
swindled  the birth rite from  Esau his brother,
The dissention it caused,  continues to this day,
Affecting every nation, including the U.S.A.

DAVID AND GOLIATH

Most everyone knows about David and Goliath,
The contrast between them, not just physical,
But more importantly, spiritual.
Goliath, protected with armor from head to toe,
And young David with one smooth stone....
well the rest of the account...I'm sure you know.

JESUS AND JUDAS

In the Bible many contrast there are,
But of Jesus and Judas the greatest by far.
Judas the greedy betrayer of Jesus, For a few pieces of silver,
Betrayed his greatest friend,
Who loved him  to his end

READ THE BIBLE !

Oh read the Bible, the King James Bible (Or any version)
Yes, read the Bible for strength each day.
From cover to cover, oh read the Bible,
every day without delay.

Oh read the Bible, the King James Bible.
It's God's road map to direct your way,
In daily sojourns, through painful trials
Of this life of troubles each day.

Soooo, read the Bible the King James Bible,
We need to read it every day.
To know God's precepts and Holy statutes,
To keep us walking in His way.

Got Guanxi

Queen

There was time my mind was yours,
But my heart is yours regardless,
The beats defined a music sheet and you played me like a harpist.

The score settled like rose petals in the essence of the tarnished
The stems remained like overtures,
And that's where it all started.

You blossomed in the minus key,
Your golden touch was midas
The treasure crept in semi clefts,
The breath I took was harnessed.

I played the jester to your beat
And bowed to you my highness.

You took my crown and held me down
The curtains closed in darkness.

THE PREACHER MAN FROM IOWA -by G. E. Parson

From a little town in Iowa,
Came an average common lad
He’d accepted Christ as Savior,
‘cause he knew that he was bad.

But as he grew to manhood,
Walking with the Lord,
He knew that God had called him
To preach the Holy Word.

From his King James Bible,
He studied very hard,
Memorizing Scripture
And praying to the Lord.

He knew the time was coming,
Not very far away,
And wanted to be ready,
For preaching on that day.

Now listen to his message,
It’s true and it’s straight,
You’ve got to trust in Jesus,
To enter Heaven’s gate.

The best of men are sinners,
Says Romans three and ten,
And on their way to a devil’s hell,
Unless they’re born again.

Yes listen to the Preacher
From that Iowa town,
Listen to his message,
He’s preaching all around.

He calls you to the altar,
To repent of sin
So open up your heart’s door
Invite the Savior in.
(Revelation 3:20)

So come now ‘ol proud sinner
And humble your proud heart
Hear the Savior calling you,
From your pride depart.

The day of judgments coming
So kneel before the cross,
And trust in Christ as Savior
‘Er your soul is  lost.
