Do Not Continue
Do not continue to lie
And give only half-truths
To me,
Pastor of today
You are supposed to be
God’s wisdom-filled sage
Do not continue to say
I may live as I please
Lusting after all the things
I only can touch & see
Even with all your degrees,
You should be on your knees
Leading the way
To a better day
Do not let, allow
The evil one to win
Lead us away from all
This world’s increasing sin
Another voice is screaming
More loudly every day
Telling me you’re
Leading the wrong way!
Stand up!
Be God’s man
Lead this country, our land
The way it’s supposed to go
His Son you MUST SHOW
If salvation will come
Before it’s too late
& many will be left knocking,
crying outside forever
The glory of God’s heavenly gates
On Speed
Crash, crash
Thud, thud
Lives speed-ed up
Whirling around
A distracting hub
Of meaningless behavior
Don’t think for yourself
How dare you!
Especially about a spirit?
Ignore, ignore
The impertinent chore
Of believing in
A Savior!
Believe every word they say
To guide both night & day
Allow that talk show host
Over you to hold complete sway!
Until he fails to break
The enlightened spell
& you at last awake
Yourself to embrace
In your Lord/Creator
A cleaner, purer faith!
The Angel in the Corner
Angel in the corner
Shouting your name
Speaks not a word
Yet carries your cure
For an evil’s painful strife
Bearing the knowledge
For all life
Warrior forever
Following Your orders
Lord Jesus
Believers to gather
Back home
Sworn allegiance to You
Unlimited power
Bearing The Only Name
That truly matters
Before a dark enemy
Will neither run nor scatter
Symbol of Your
Unquenchable power
In every second, every hour
Thank you Lord Jesus
For sending them to us
In You only forever
May we trust
Rejoicing again & again
May we learn from them
You salvation to carry,
To win
Completely!!
In this country, USofA,
Not all,
But many
Who claim
To carry
Christ’s name
Do Nothing
We enjoy our
Comforts
As we stroll,
Cavort,
In our prosperity
As glaringly
Evil grows, rises
Stronger
We have not stood against
satan’s darkness
He stands in jest
Of our spiritual weakness
Apathy
As all around we see
Our culture deteriorates
It is time to
Gird our loins
As of old
As the ancient
Book has told
Dress ourselves
In God’s Protective Armor
For the battle
Does rage
Each & every day
If suffer we must
To carry Christ’s name
Then suffer we should
To protect all that is good
All good things flow
From the Father
Of the heavenly lights
It is time for Christ’s
American church to
Join in the fight!!
How?
How do You see
Someone as small as
Me
But somehow You do
& as I gaze up at You
You smile down
I am your creation,
Your child
Launched into paradise
But by our own hands
It became quite wild
Restless, lawless
Open rebellion
Our great fall
You tell upon
The pages of
Your Book
Wandering lost
In pain
Why do we repeat
Over & over again
All that old evil
All that old same
So inside I must look
For guidance
For a better hinderance
To my lost behavior
& so, You gave me
Your Son, my Savior
Praise You Lord God!
Return to me
I will return to you
So, each day I try to follow
That my re-birth
May be renewed!!
Hunger
That hunger
Pushing, driving
Telling me
Something is wrong
So strong,
No matter how much
Of the world I ingest
Still somehow lingers
Distrust
Still I need,
Long for
At times I know now what
So, I continue
To eat from the world
Each of every day’s
Beginning & end
Searching, taking in
Until I say no more
I will buy no longer
From your unlimited store
Of meaningless things
Then I stand, still
And realize
That you lie
This world will
Never completely
Satisfy
Reach up
Search for God’s face
His unending grace
Only that love will
Fill up, supply
Those inner recesses
Now threatening to die
From a world’s wearying
Provision
Oh, Lord,
Help me to make
A better decision!
