The Truth of God I cannot hide, those Truths, hidden deep inside,
God’s Truth hidden in my heart; Truth to others that I must impart,
Eternal Truths God taught to me, His Truth which stands eternally,
God’s Truth regarding Eternal Life, which is found in Jesus Christ.
His Truth is like a fire in my bones, as my spirit within me groans,
To share this Truth with other men, that all need to be Born Again,
A Truth found in God’s Word, whether they have or haven’t heard,
Right from The God of Creation; grounding Truth about Salvation.
It’s a Truth that all men must heed, a Truth we are blessed to read,
From God’s written Revelation, written that we may have salvation,
All inspired by The Spirit of God, written by men upon earth’s sod,
As The Spirit moved upon men, the words of God they would pen.
God’s Holy Spirit works today, guiding men with the words to say,
As the Spirit moves in our heart, the Word of God we must impart,
For there are souls everywhere, who may think God does not care,
But, God sent His Son from above, to show men His endless love.
I can’t be quiet, out of my obligation, to The Lord of my Salvation,
For I am obligated to Jesus Christ, to share God’s Truth in this life,
A fact that just can’t be ignored, as others need to know The Lord,
With eternity truly real dear friend, they need Christ before the end.

Only those in Christ my friend, will see eternal blessing in the end,
Only those found in Jesus Christ, won’t see death, but eternal life,
The Eternal Life all souls receive, when in Christ they truly believe,
The very moment they trust in Him, Jesus, who saved us from sin.
Saved out of the world we live in, to life above, that’ll soon begin,
For when this present life is no more, we begin a life, forevermore,
With The Savior, Who died for us, alive eternally with Christ Jesus,
The One Who died but rose again, to give life to all believing men.
This life begins at our last breath, as breathed; we’ll see not death,
But, we shall enter into Eternity, to reside beyond that Crystal Sea,
Far into another time and place, when we behold our Savior’s face,
Stepping onto that Eternal Shore, to be with The Lord forevermore.
This is why Christ came to earth, to offer mortal men Spiritual Birth,
For this is why Christ came to die, to offer eternal life, to you and I,
This is why He became a sacrifice, so we could enter into Paradise,
This was provided by God above, through Christ, to show His love.
For the love God showed to us, one must respond to Christ Jesus,
With a personal belief, through faith, to accept God’s loving Grace,
A true acceptance, in your heart, and of His Church you’ll be a part,
A member of the Body of Christ, knowing you’ll receive Eternal Life.

True believers, who know the Lord, by the Apostle are implored,
To make changes in their life, to become more like Jesus Christ,
Through His power, we are endued, to have a Christ like attitude,
Putting in place all we’ve heard; life changes found in The Word.
Recognition is what we need, this, as we follow The Spirit’s lead,
God’s Word sharp as a sword, brings to light changes implored,
Change spoken of by Apostle Paul, are to be pursued by us all,
To be more like Jesus Christ, as we seek to be a living sacrifice.
Renewal is then not only desired, but, by The Lord it is required,
This, to renew our heart and mind, to leave our old ways behind,
No longer shall we be conformed, to this world but transformed,
Conforming to the will of Christ, as we honor God with New Life.
Replacing in our life old ways, with a newness unto God’s praise,
A new life substituting sinfulness, with our Lord’s Righteousness,
As we died for Christ, that old man, is now dead, per God’s Plan,
As the power of His Salvation, makes all believers a new creation.
Run hard then, this life’s race, through the power of God’s Grace,
Running in a way that pleases Him, the One Who died for our sin,
That we too can be a sacrifice, living for our Savior, Jesus Christ,
Living to please The Lord above, compelled by our Savior’s love.

Our service is a labor of love, as we witness for God above,
Here, there and everywhere, while the Gospel Truth we share,
Through the witness of our life, for The Savior, Jesus Christ,
Hoping that others shall see, for our Lord, a living testimony.
As God moves on the world, His Light, our lives must herald,
Seeing a change within our life, in this world where sin is rife,
That others see that Light within, our lives in this world of sin.
The light from the Lord above, as we share our Savior’s Love.
In this world so cold and dark, we must be for Christ a spark,
Of The Lord’s Truth and Light, in a world where wrong is right,
Turning some from wickedness, to The Lord’s Righteousness,
Righteousness that will prevail, that, wicked men today assail.
We can lead the wayward back, to righteousness under attack,
By the liberal minds of today, men who went spiritually astray,
Moving the wayward onto a path, that will see righteous wrath,
God’s righteous judgment friend, is what they’ll see in the end.
We must be the Savior’s light, pointing all from wrong to right,
In this world, so dark and cold, so The Lord, they may behold,
And like many humbled men, come to God and be born again,
Humbled friend, to by faith, accept The Savior’s Saving Grace.

Many have no need for God, a belief they defend with a nod,
With pride in their heart so rife, they will worship their own life,
Sitting on a self-made throne, they have a belief, all their own,
This faith that they embrace, discards God’s Awesome Grace.
They’ve no room within their life, for The Savior, Jesus Christ,
Heaven, they think they’ll inherit, not by Grace, but their merit,
Believing that they are good, as God they’ve not understood,
Having no fear of The Lord, His Truth, by them, goes ignored.
They may even dislike religion, but, it factors in their decision,
Being soiled by religious leaven, using works to enter Heaven,
But all of their works of pride, by The Lord God will be denied,
As all the work was done for us, on the Cross by Christ Jesus.
Some may say that they believe, but Truth they will not receive,
They even say that God is in all, denying a curse by man’s fall,
And all on the earth, they contend, will be in Heaven in the end,
With or without Jesus Christ, in Heaven, they shall see new life.
God’s Word makes it so clear; wisdom begins with a holy fear,
To know The Lord God is one, Who sent to earth His Only Son,
To be for all men His Sacrifice, so men can enter into Paradise,
And Jesus is The Only Name, in whom salvation man can claim.

reading more between the words, my fractured
dream, identified by its teeth, begins to bite
in pursuit of an unknown fear, the river
becoming red, a paranoid delirium
sets out a scream under the praised
beheading of a jolted lover in the name
of a betrayal, a son goes to court arrest
for mother, in earth hour of unseen grief,
voiceless, vendetta between the pacemakers
of sick hearts, the horrible incest, nicked
and kept in a glass jar to be witnessed by
waxed faces of dying men rinsing the
heart with blood of fallen heroes; the honeymoon
of unborn centuries waiting in vain

I was deeply annoyed.
One by one they were falling,
walking in quagmire.
For duplicating rights?
Dead pelicans, pouch empty.
Somebody was picking ants from the air.
Give me some cold pack,
my head is throbbing hot,
I am burning.
Nine year old innocent
raped by a septuagenarian.
A twin pregnancy. I will go insane.
They were still talking about
the golden beach, and perfected will.
Too late to count the gods.
The pale body was untying the mask.
The suffering borrows from the death
and embryo becomes a temple.

In my quiet, I think of you, all the things you’ve seen me through,
How indeed, you came to me, to open my eyes towards Calvary,
As you showed me just who I am, a sinner, in need of The Lamb,
The Lamb from earth’s foundation, to bring to all, your Salvation.
How I was embraced in your love, accepting me just where I was,
Accepting me, in my sinful life, while guiding me to Jesus Christ,
Who forgave me of all my sin, to indwell me with His Spirit within,
To lead me in all of God’s Truth, with my New Life as living proof.
Regarding Truths, I did not know, His Holy Spirit helped me grow,
In God’s Truth and Righteousness, in the Spirit of my Lord Jesus,
Who helps and leads me day to day, along this life’s Narrow Way,
All this provided at my new birth, to live anew for Him on the earth.
Not only did you provide salvation, you assist me in all tribulation,
Around every bend in this life, you’re my comfort through all strife,
Even when the trial may not cease, you supply an enduring peace,
Peace supplied by the Spirit of Christ, as you guide me in this life.
I also ponder your promise to me, of life ahead with you, eternally,
For by The Spirit, I’ve been sealed, for eternity ahead yet revealed,
All provided through your grace, so soon I’ll see my Savior’s face,
This, when I enter into Eternal Life, to live forever with Jesus Christ.

Many questions, seventy times seven, may be asked once in Heaven,
Our thoughts about the patriarchs, one or more questions this sparks,
Or maybe questions about this life, just why so much pain and strife?
Or the things we can’t comprehend; may prompt questions in the end.
But with a pure mind and heart, many of those questions shall depart,
This when we enter into Eternal Life, now, with the pure mind of Christ,
Former things remembered no more, as we step on that eternal shore,
With an eternal mindset instead, as past is behind with Eternity ahead.
The things we could not comprehend, shall come to light at that bend,
The final turn at the end of our life, as we see the face of Jesus Christ,
With our glorified body and mind, those former things are well behind,
Many questions we may have asked, may be faded things of our past.
Most things from the former time, shall pale in the light of the sublime,
As the Crystal Sea and streets of gold, with our Lord our eyes behold,
Mindful now, of the things to come, as we enter, His Eternal Kingdom,
A Kingdom that shall not pass away, one, where we’ll be there to stay,
Many things that we now ponder, may fade away as we get up yonder,
Earthly things will lose their allure, as we begin a new life for evermore,
Many questions now thought of, will likely fade in His presence above,
As Christ answers more than we ask, when we begin, that Eternal Task.

Many men may acknowledge the Lord, but, in their life He is ignored,
The many state they believe in Him, however, continue in a life of sin,
Many, even accept God’s Salvation, while they ignore His Revelation,
About all the changes in a life, when a person comes to Jesus Christ.
Their walk reflects no obvious Change, as their life remains the same,
While they profess to have believed, they live as if they are deceived,
As God’s eternal enemy, says change isn’t required, for others to see,
So, he walks not with his brothers, or shines his light for all the others.
Living in a world that’s so depraved, when by The Lord, we are saved,
Through God’s Power of Salvation, believers become a New Creation,
Given by God the Spirit of Christ, to live for our Lord a brand new life,
As a living testimony to Him, The Lord Jesus, Who saved us from sin.
If Apostle Paul felt the obligation, our life also, should be a revelation,
Of what The Lord God has done for us, through His Son, Christ Jesus,
Even if a change should be belated, every believer is surely obligated,
To be for God, a light and a witness, of Jesus Christ’s Righteousness.
For The Savior, Who left His Majesty, to become sin, for you and me,
We should have more than obligation, for life should be a celebration,
A nonstop celebration in Jesus Christ, this as we surrender all our life,
As we make changes, to Godly ways, for God’s honor and His praise.
