Truly Inhumane

Leave a reply

Some people say it’s not humane
To grow up livestock for their meat
Some say that it is not humane
For murderers to their fate to meet

But I say one thing trumps this all
As I see sinners set to fall
It’s not humane that they should go
Without the Gospel being told

Let’s tell them all of His story
That Jesus died to set us free
He gives new life eternally
For all who make Him Lord

Your Mantra

5 Replies

Do you have a problem with worry
Does fear of the unknown lurk within
Your mind can find no peace
Your heart is not at ease
And it seems there is no joy life can bring

I have a suggestion you should try
That can change the outlook for each day
It takes a little time
But quite soon you will find
Your worries will dissolve along the way

Praise the Lord
Give it all you’ve got
Read His Word
Live it every day
Pray for needs
Listen for His voice
Give Him thanks
For each mercy found

And then take just one verse
Philippians four and eight
And make that verse your mantra
Follow it always

Think on things just
Think on things pure
Think on thing honest
Think on things true
Think on things lovely
Think on things virtuous
Think on things praiseworthy
Think on good reports

Then your mind will be renewed
Your heart will be restored
His peace will flow through you
His joy will overflow
Your life will be at rest
Your spirit will be eased
Worry will dissolve into the air
And you’ll be free

Your Mantra

No Complaints

1 Reply

Some people give out hatred
Others emit fear
There are those who always have complaints
Some will bring you down
Others make you doubt
There’s even some who have a hundred pains

All of the above
And many more beside
Can truly work to bring a person down
It’s not the way to be
If Christ is in the lead
The words He spoke gave mercy all around

Let us dispense His mercy
To everyone we meet
That we might speak in words of love and grace
No place for our complaining
No murmuring or doubt
Only those things that fill our hearts with praise

Misunderstood

3 Replies

Some people will believe a lie instead of seeking truth
Some people will tell gossip tales that end up harming you
Some people drink their alcohol each night so they feel good
Some people do their harmful drugs and stay misunderstood

Some people think it’s quite alright to swear in Jesus name
Some people think that causing pain is all just fun and games
Some people cannot say a word unless they swear and curse
Some people will refuse to listen and their life just gets worse

None of this is natural
It’s not what we’re made for
This world has got it all wrong
When His word they do ignore
We were made to walk with Him
In the garden He prepared
So put aside your wicked ways
And praise His name instead

A Sanctuary

6 Replies

I awoke this Monday morning
Looking forward to the day
I rose to greet the sunrise
As it lightened up the gray
I ate a bit of breakfast
With coffee on the tray
Then I walked out of my house
And I began to say

Thank you, Lord for giving me
Your mercy on this day
Thank you Lord, for your sweet grace
Which blesses me always
Thank you Lord for peace of mind
Provided by your grace
Thank you for the joy you give
And hope that always stays

Thank you Lord for this creation
Beautiful and wise
Thank you Lord for singing birds
Filling up the skies
Thank you Lord for flowers and trees
Colors for my eyes
Thank you Lord for loving me
And helping me through trials

As I finished my short song
Of praise unto my King
I thanked Him once again
For providing everything
And in that moment I could feel
The Spirit praises bring
My porch became a santcuary
For the King of Kings

The eLifve

The Lab of Life

Leave a reply

I used to love the science room where we could have real fun
Mixing up those chemicals could bring up things that stunk
I also like the movies that scared us half to death
Frankenstein was one of them I think he was on meth

Our laboratory fun was a place of learning much
But most of us grow older leaving lab work in the dust
Yet if we really seek the truth the lab of life still runs
We are an experiment until we think we’re done

I know in my daily walk with Jesus Christ my Lord
The tests and trials that will come are things I can’t ignore
For each is there to help me grow and become all I can be
I just want to be the clay while God is making me

Without Apps

Leave a reply

Email is so nifty
It gets there very quick
Messenger is just as fun
And WhatsApp is real slick
Instagram exposes you
Pinterest your likes
The phone is always handy
A letter finds a smile

All these different ways
To touch each other’s lives
Yet all of them are lacking
In portraying what’s inside
Today’s communication
Lacks time for face-to-face
To see their true expression
To hear a voice that’s raised

Let’s try to put aside
Our gadgets and our apps
To walk up to our neighbor
And share a heartfelt chat
Perhaps then love will win out
Over all the ugly ways
That have captured so much news
In too many of our days

Our Salvation

White as Snow

Leave a reply

We used to build big snowmen
When young and full of fun
Our imaginations were on fire
We rolled the balls real big
And set them one by one
We always wanted to go so mush higher

Abominable was not our aim
With this massive man of snow
We hoped that it would be a work of art
We did all that we could
To make it look real good
Carrot, buttons, scarf and a top hat

If your really want that something
That defines unpleasantness
Something much worse than gruesome men of snow
Then simply turn your back
To the mercy Jesus shows
When life is over pain is all you’ll know

Right now it’s not too late
To avoid hell’s horrid fire
And a future so abominable
Just give your heart to Jesus
Ask forgiveness for your sins
He’ll make your heart as white as snow

Every Cry

Leave a reply

There was a day when I was young
So many years ago
My wife would bear three children
Before I was to old
Before the time did come for birth
They said we should expect
A child would come no doubt to us
Their cry we would protect

Today I have a different task.
To pray for those in need
The word of God said pray in faith
Expect results to be
Help me have that faith dear Lord
My expectations high
That you will answer every prayer
And hear my every cry

National Pride

Restore our Nation

1 Reply

In years gone by I hung around the bar ’til late at night
We’d drink our beer and hard stuff until the mood was right
Then we’d drive around the countryside until the morning light
Not caring about anything at all

But those days have been replaced by my faith in Jesus Christ
Now I linger at the altar as I seek His guiding light
My soul seeks His assurance when I go to sleep at night
My desire is to heed His sacred call

Put aside your earthly habits to come and join the fight
To restore our nations heart and set it’s morals right
Seek the Lord and all His wisdom so that all will see the light
Before our nation suffers from a fall
