I now pronounce you man and wife,Now go and live together life,And love each other, say a prayer,Your love not get in disrepair. For life, it has its ups and downs,And romance may not hang around,And prettiness not always be,Especially when two become three. Love depends not on emotions,Love enhanced by our devotion,Loyalty to vows … Continue reading Man and Wife
Love Lifted Me
Hymn lyrics by James Rowe, 1912Music by Howard E. Smith I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore,Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more,But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry,From the waters lifted me, now safe am I. All my heart to Him I give, ever to … Continue reading Love Lifted Me

His Angry Whacks
When Satan throws his angry whacksAgainst our Lord, he does attackAgainst His servants, His Word, too;We trust our Lord and His will do.We put on Armor, fight with Sword;We trust His Word, obey our Lord.

Light and Fluffy
Light and fluffy, they are feedingWhat the people think they’re needing.Feel good messages are their shelter,But now they are helter-skelter. Life with frolic is a plenty,But the truth, now who’s got any?Lies galore and misplaced feelings,Have them on the line they’re reeling. Keep it light, now pitter-patter,So they know not what’s the matter.Make excuses, feed … Continue reading Light and Fluffy

Religious practice is their cover.Sinful lifestyles, they’re not over.Godless idols are their lover.Righteousness is not their mover. Wickedness is what is leading,While they go on now deceiving,And the lies they’re now believing.And … Continue reading Light the Candles
