Go, lay your life down.It’s not yours to own.It’s bought with a price,With blood, shed, atoned. Our Lord paid the priceSo we could be freeFrom slavery to sin,His servants to be. We now die to sin,And obey our Lord,And walk in His love,All in one accord. Sin must not controlHow we are to live,For we … Continue reading Not Yours To Own

Christ in Christmas?
Is Christ in Christmas?Is this His business?Is this His witness?Christ now within us? And does this matter?Not empty chatter,Not meant to scatter,Nor faith to shatter. Yes! It’s important,So not leave dormant,Remain informant,The truth to warrant. Christ not in Christmas.It’s not His witness.For in His strictness,For truth He bids us To know His teachings,His truth now … Continue reading Christ in Christmas?
A Voice Cries
A voice cries in the wilderness,“Prepare the way of the Lord;Make straight the way in the desertFor a highway for our God. “The glory of the Lord our God,Revealed, it now shall become,And all people will now see it,For the Lord has spoken it.” A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said,“What shall I cry?,” … Continue reading A Voice Cries
Do You Know?
Do you know what it’s likeTo not be believed?To be treated like garbageBy people with greed? To be told you’re stupid,And are not worthwhileTo be given compassion,Instead of denial? To be treated like dirtTo be stomped upon?And to be disregardedAnd then frowned upon? Do you know what it’s likeTo be mocked in jestBy the people … Continue reading Do You Know?
Zeal for Your House
The house of the Lord is the temple of God, which is the body of Christ, which is comprised of those who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of their lives.

When in The Stillness
September 26, 2011 I was reading in 1 Corinthians 10 for my quiet time with the Lord. The children of Israel had experienced all of God’s blessings and provisions, as well as his guidance, leadership, and protection in bringing them out of slavery. And yet, God was not pleased with them, because they did not … Continue reading When in The Stillness
Things are Heating Up
Things are heating up, you see.Soon our nations won’t be free.We will lose our liberty,For to God not bow the knee. Many claim their faith in Christ,But to Him, they’re not His wife.Sold to slavery to sin.Do not let the Spirit in. Think they know the will of God.Think that Jesus gives the nodFor their … Continue reading Things are Heating Up
Time is Not Our Friend
Time, it is not on our side.Not from God can any hide.He sees all, not Him escape.Trust in Him. It’s not too late. Time is ticking, ticking by.Don’t on time you now rely.No one’s promised other day.Trust in Christ, do not delay. ‘Morrow may not ever come.Will for many, not for some.Faith in Christ, please … Continue reading Time is Not Our Friend
They’re Partners in Crime
Troubles, trouble everywhere,Leaving many in despair.Turning, churning, there’s no doubtIt’s the work of those with clout. Princes, kings, and CEOs,They’re the people in the knowTwisting all what’s going on,Hope the people to respond. Stirring, stirring all things up,Hoping things will now erupt,First they knock them from the tree,Come to rescue, them to free. Actors, actors, … Continue reading They’re Partners in Crime
