Enemy Under Control

Leave a reply

I’ve done a lot of things in the course of my life
From sales to flipping burgers and a manager at times
Through many of my years my life was ruled by pride
So often I would fool myself to thinking sin would hide

You see I was a hypocrite who lived a different life
In Jesus days the Pharisees were what I would be like
I’d masquerade as righteous while I lived a life of lies
Then one day I was challenged to bring my life in line

I finally realized that my life was full by pride
I learned to bring that enemy under control in time
Now I live my life by the words of Jesus Christ
In Him I will forever more abide

Real Bright

Leave a reply

Some are like those tiny bulbs In refrigerators
Then shine when people are around but when alone they’re out
Some will shine like lanterns powered by some kind of gas
You must make sure the wick is up for them to shine about

But we as Christians need to shine the light of God real bright
There’s lots of darkness in the world where we must testify
And if our light is shining bright then hopefully they’ll swarm
Like bugs at night they’ll come around to just enjoy the light

Jesus Returns

Judgment Day

Leave a reply

The heavens shall be open
A white horse shall appear
The man who sits upon him
Brings both judgment and war

His eyes are like a fire
His head bore many crowns
Clothed in garments dipped in blood
The Word of God He’s called

The armies of all heaven
Will follow Him this day
White horses will they ride upon
White garments will array

The fowls of the earth are called
To feast upon all flesh
And all who do remain on earth
Will meet a forecast death

If you are not familiar
With the words I’ve written here
Revelation nineteen ten
Is where you start to read

I do not share to frighten to
Because not all are doomed
There is a way of being saved
From all this talk of gloom

Make Jesus Christ your Lord and King
He is the only way
To be in heaven on this day
Won’t you be saved today

Foolish Habits

1 Reply

This world has lots of pleasures
They are wonderful to try
They make us feel important
Or they give us such a high
In this life we will face many
Of the tempters little ploys
They are all meant to enchant you
Into thinking flesh is Lord

But I have news for you my friend
The day is coming soon
When the King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Will come as a bridegroom
He is looking for a church
That is gleaming white as snow
There is just one way to get there
That is Jesus Christ to know

Put aside your foolish habits
The repent of all your sin
Allow the blood of Jesus
To wash you clean within
Accept His blood filled sacrifice
For He dies for you and me
Then he rose again from death
To give life eternally

The Believers Life

For All of Time

2 Replies

There’s so many people
Running with masks on
Hoping to fool some
Doing their goods deeds
Fulfilling their needs
Hoping that one day
They too will find the way
Into the pearly gates
For all of time

When Jesus will find them
Their disguise will not hide them
If He’s only Lord in name
Then they will be turned away
They must follow His commands
In order to make a stand
Today will you bow to Him
As Lord over everything
For all of time

The Believers Life

The Only Way

Leave a reply

I find it funny that some people think
That all we have is life on earth
And others think we will come back in some form
So that our life will have more worth

Still others think they must do good deeds to earn
A place in the heavens above
And others think all have been rescued from hell
Whatever they do is enough

It seems so bizarre to me
That Jesus died on a tree
So that all of us could be free
If we did not have a choice

If God would save everyone
Then why would He send His son
Why not just have it be done
By the sound of His mighty voice

After all the whole world was made
By His voice in just 6 days
Couldn’t He make us all saved
So we could all rejoice

When you think about what God has done for us
And how He has showed us His grace
Than you’ll know that accepting His Son as our Lord
Is truly the only way

Many Laughs

Leave a reply

I once was a man full of laughter
I was happy for moments in time
I used many laughs through my years
But I never knew which one was mine

Sometimes I’d burst out a HA
Other times snickers were good
A guffaw a cackle or giggle
I’d laugh just as loud as I could

But all of this laughter was surface
I was hurting deep down inside
Because happiness lasts for a moment
After that sadness ruled my life

But then I met Jesus my Savior
He cleansed me from all of my sin
His peace settled into my spirit
He brought me true joy within

Now I have this joy forever
It’s not for a moment and gone
If always sad in your spirit
Look to Jesus and true joy will come

I Am Guilty

Leave a reply

I have to admit I am guilty
I dissemble most every day
I write these short little verses
But I have quite more to say

The reason is not just to answer
The prompt that’s before my eyes
But to talk to you about living
For my Savior Jesus Christ

I want to see you in heaven
By these poems I reach out
And tell you about salvation
So you won’t have any doubt

He came to show you His kingdom
He died to free you from sin
He rose to give you eternal life
Today give your life to Him

Your Friend

2 Replies

I’ve met many people
Who hold their lives
Inside them like seeds in a melon
They think that suppressing
The feelings they have
Will somehow bring safety to their lives

I just want to hug them
And open their minds
So they won’t be so lethargic
If they will just talk
To the Lord in their plight
They will find He can be quite cathartic

Because He has the answer
To all of our questions
He provides peace and contentment
So if you are harboring
Feelings down deep
Give Jesus a chance to be your friend

Those Who are Lost

Leave a reply

Those who are Lost

I brewed me some coffee quite early today
Then went on the deck for the sunrise
The air was quite crisp as I sipped from my cup
And I watched as the light filled the skies

Above me a brood of robins appeared
They soared in majestic fashion
I watched as they headed south for to warmth
And wished I could take that vacation

As I said there I thought this world of ours
I brood over those who are lost
I decided that I must to more every day
To tell them about Jesus Christ

He came to this earth to teach us God’s ways
Then He died on a cross for our sin
He rose from the dead to give eternal life
I pray that you will accept Him
