Life surrendered; self-life renderedDead to sin, alive to God.Speak no evil, do not wicked.Sinful ways give not a nod. Holy, Holy, Lord Almighty,God of heav’n and earth and sky.Sing His praises, do what pleasesHim, and Him do not deny. God is righteous, pure, unselfish,Thought of us when Jesus died.Jesus gave His life up for usSo … Continue reading Life Surrendered

Hurting and Lonely
Are you hurting, feeling lonely,Feeling sometimes it’s you only,Not sure others feel what you do,Not sure they know what you’ve been through? Do you have those who berate you?Do they mock you, trick you, hate you?Try to make you think you’re crazy,Try convince you mem’ry’s hazy? Many do this. It’s their habitTo suppress the truth, … Continue reading Hurting and Lonely
The Darkest Night
Dimly lit, the darkest night,Is the light of truth inside?Masqueraders all around,Many turned now into clowns. Charlatans now lead the sheepWho are falling fast asleep.Nill endeavor truth to find,They are very truly blind. Many hardened hearts to truthThey live wicked lives, uncouth.Masquerade as righteousness,But they live in wickedness. Foolish hearts turn to their sin,High on … Continue reading The Darkest Night
Man and Wife
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
Life Uncertain
Texting, vexing, and now sextingWindows open, shadows lurkingPeople peek behind the curtainsLife now surely so uncertain Evil is around the cornerIn the shadows, under coverWaiting, tempting, looks for targetsSelf-indulgent always searching Dreamers, sluggards, time a wastingFearing not a judgment hasteningTake God’s gift of grace for grantedFor their gospel, it is slanted Hear then what the … Continue reading Life Uncertain
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. When battle’s fierce and fraught with fright,We don’t do wrong. We do what’s right.We walk in victory over sin.To temptation, … Continue reading His Angry Whacks

In the middle of the night His love instructs meHe teaches me the way that I should goHe counsels me in every situationAnd helps me understand what I don’t know He whispers to me His truths, oh how gentlyHe lets me know what’s right and what is wrongHe gives to me a poem or devotionAnd … Continue reading In the Night
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
Light the Candles
Light the candles, smell them burning,While the gospel, men are churning,And the hearts of men not turningFrom their sins. And God not learning. 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
Bitterness
Bitterness will eat you up,Make you now its slave.Bitterness will fill your cup,Drink from it always. Bitterness affects your life,Happiness not found.Bitterness will grind you up,Churning round and round. Must forgive if you be freeFrom what holds you down.Must depart from bitter roots,Or in them you’ll drown. Sadness steals the joyful heart,Turns a smile to … Continue reading Bitterness
