Why do I preach; does anyone listen?
Do sermons reach the complacent Christian?
Does repentance still exist here today?
Does the entrance to Church cause us to pray?
Why do we sing if we don't mean a word?
Why do we bring a heart that's never stirred?
When will we let God make our hearts anew?
When will we set our hearts on all that's true?
A Sabbatical Year
Take a total year off, a Sabbatical year
I ask please don't you scoff, let me make this quite clear
That in the seventh year, all farmland is to rest
It is a time of cheer, a time that we are blessed
Six years long we should plow, and six years gather fruit
Six years a sweaty brow, six years of farm pursuit
But in the seventh year, just take a solemn rest
A year for God my dear, for family and guest

Why Can't We Just Get Along
Why do we have to believe all the same things to be friends
Why can't we just agree to disagree and make amends
The constant put-downs are wrong
Why can't we just get along!
So you're an atheist and I'm a believer in God
If we're totally honest, don't we both see through a fog
Together we both belong
Why can't we just get along!
If your house burned down I'd be there in a wink to save you
And I know you'd be there in a heartbeat to save me too
Our unity is so strong
Why can't we just get along!
No matter who we vote for when election time comes 'round
We're neighbors in community, who stand on common ground
You know that we both belong
Why can't we just get along!

Partisanship
Partisanship is not for Christians
Don't believe political fictions
Both sides are in evil Babylon
Politicians you can't depend on
One side kills babies the other not
But tells the poor that they can just rot
Immigrants deport; they just don't care
No Christianity anywhere

Pa-keet! Pa-keet!
Guinea fowl, are the strangest bird
They really can act quite absurd
Mrs. Pa-keet! Pa-keet! she cries
And when I come home in she flies
She's crazy how she lays her eggs
Not well-protected which just begs
A predator to eat them all
A dozen or more, and so small
Chi! Chi! Chi! Mr. Guinea cries
Runs to me looking for a prize
So, What, you ask, Are guinea's for?
They eat up ticks and bugs galore

Covered in Ice
The grass is fruzz, covered in ice
Looks like a field of shiny glass
A meadow filled with jewel grass
Should I go out? What's your advice?
The sun is out and makes it shine
I'll stay inside and watch the view
And have a bite of Irish stew
And thank God for His grand design

Chickens, Chickens
Chickens, chickens all around
With their eager squawking sound
Looking for a bite to eat
Waddling with their happy feet
A slice of bread in my hand
Jumping, happy little band
Need some water cheerful crew?
Yes, they squawk, Indeed we do
Sitting, watching chickens peck
They're so much fun and low tech
What about some mixed seed too?
Oh yes, they squawk, We love you
With their eager squawking sound
Looking for a bite to eat
Waddling with their happy feet
A slice of bread in my hand

A Day to Rest
A day to rest both body and soul
Some call it Sabbath and that's okay
A day to relax and take a stroll
The principle is just take a day
A day for church and worshiping God
Reading the Bible and private prayer
Your toes in the grass with feet unshod
A nice cool drink, a shady lawn chair
Time for our loved ones and dear friends too
And maybe a stranger there as well
Watch the garden; how quickly it grew
Nothing to push, demand or compel

Joining Heaven's Roll Call
The burnt offerings God told Israel to make
Private freewill offerings were they
Any unblemished male of the herd they should take
Like Jesus on the cross that awful Friday
The grain offering was of the finest flour
Like any offering to God is our best
Salt of the covenant reminds us that our
Hope is in Jesus; in the cross we are blessed
The peace offering as a fellowship feast
Reminds us of Jesus the bread and the wine
He sacrificed himself; He is our High Priest
The last offering; the sacrifice divine
The sin and the guilt offerings are to teach
That Jesus died for known and unknown sins too
Forgiveness of sins is what Jesus did preach
He died for the Gentile as well as the Jew
God took no real pleasure in the sacrifice
And He offered up Jesus once and for all
Who willingly died for our sins paid the price
So we offer ourselves, join heaven's roll call
