Grace not Dirt

Painful days past, more than a year
At rest at last, nothing to fear
I was downcast, then God came near
By men outcast, but God was here

Hated by men, slandered and lied
Time and again, honor denied
Remember when, God then replied
You too sinned then, and with much pride

Their sin was bad, and you were hurt
But I'm so glad, to reassert
In my notepad, your name insert
When you are clad, with grace not dirt

Rejected

Rejected by church and family
Unwanted, ignored
At least it wasn't for blasphemy
I'm loved by our Lord

Thankful for a few friends who love me
No longer ignored
I'm freed from narrow theology
Free thinking restored

A Judas had stabbed me in the back
Hate is expected
This was a really viscious attack
Yes I'm rejected

The people love to hear smooth things preached
They don't want God's Word
But truth will come and they will be reached
Though lies they preferred

Off Grid

Off grid

I've flipped my lid

I wonder how far we've slid

We live far out, well hid

The wildlife we live amid

Even they wonder what we did

Godless evolution

There's none so blind as those who refuse

To see the obvious ubiquitous clues

That design without a designer's absurd

It's the silliest thing that I've ever heard

It's a fairy tale, a magic show

Not logic, but emotion you know

For logic dictates that DNA

Is a coded detailed array

More complex than any computer known

The fallacy is completely blown

Rejected

Rejected by family and friends
And selfishness which never ends
Even in church I thought I'd find
True friendship as God has designed

I found friends and a Judas too
A slanderer in the church pew
And others striving for power
In their own ivory tower

Some with their own theology
Claiming it's all mythology
But Jesus warned it would be so
A mix of wheat and tares, you know

So, life seems to be a battle
Many foes their sabers rattle
It's a fight to the very end
In the end we'll all comprehend

God Is

If you've repented as you should
And you have faith that God is good
Then blessings await all your life
And after that the afterlife

God is with you in all you do
God is He who has fought for you
God is Spirit; God is faithful
God is gracious and merciful

God's not a man, that He should lie
God formed ev'ry bird of the sky

God the Creator does not tire

God is an all-consuming fire

God is our refuge and our strength
He has decided our life's length
God gives us an inheritance
Let us praise His name with the dance

Song of Sheep & Goats

When the Son of Man comes again
In his glory
All the holy angels with Him
Throne of glory
Throne of greatness He'll sit on then

I was hungry; you gave to me
I was thirsty; you nourished me
I was foreign; you welcomed me
I was naked; you covered me
I was sick; you took care of me
I was jailed; you visited me

Before Him will come all nations
He'll separate
The sheep and goats in two stations
He'll separate
As shepherds make two locations

I was hungry; you gave to me
I was thirsty; you nourished me
I was foreign; you welcomed me
I was naked; you covered me
I was sick; you took care of me
I was jailed; you visited me

Sheep on His right; goats on the left
The King will tell
Those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blest
In My reign dwell
God has prepared for you the best

I was hungry; you gave to me
I was thirsty; you nourished me
I was foreign; you welcomed me
I was naked; you covered me
I was sick; you took care of me
I was jailed; you visited me

Then the righteous will answer Him
Lord, when did we
See you hungry and gave to You
See you thirsty and nourished You
See you foreign and welcome You
See you naked and cover You
See you sick and took care of You
See you jailed and visited You?

And answering the King will say

On judgment day

Love for the least you did convey

Lived the give way

You gave to Me; I will repay

I was hungry; you gave to me
I was thirsty; you nourished me
I was foreign; you welcomed me
I was naked; you covered me
I was sick; you took care of me
I was jailed; you visited me

Then He'll say to those on his left
Depart from me
You are cursed, punished and bereft
That's my decree

Into fire where the devil's left

I was hungry; you ignored me
I was thirsty; you ignored me
I was foreign; you ignored me
I was naked; you ignored me
I was sick; you ignored me
I was jailed; you ignored me

Then they will also answer Him
Lord, when did we
See you hungry and ignored You
See you thirsty and ignored You
See you foreign and ignored You
See you naked and ignored You
See you sick and ignored You

See you jailed and ignored You?

And answering the King will say

On judgment day

Help the least, you did not obey

Lived the get way

You ignored the least; You will pay

These will go into punishment

But the righteous, to life are sent

Poem of Laodicea

To Laodicea write this
The words of the faithful witness
The Amen who made everything
Who was there in the beginning

I know your works, not cold or hot
But sadly cold or hot you're not
So because you are just lukewarm
You'll soon be spat out, I'll inform

You say I'm rich in everything
Increased with goods; I need nothing
Wretched, and miserable, and poor
And you're blind and naked for sure

I advise you buy gold from me
Purified by fire, that's the key
Then you'll be rich, buy white attire
Anoint your eyes to see entire

I correct and punish those I love
Zealously turn to things above
See, I stand at the door and knock
So, open up, your ears unblock

I'll come in and we'll share dinner
To the victor and the winner
Is a space to sit on my throne
As on My Father's throne I'm shown

To anyone who has an ear
What the Spirit says, let him hear
To the churches He does proclaim
Let it be said, we overcame

Who is God?

Who is God? Is He just a dream?
He is the One called Elohim
It means He's mighty, very great
All that exists, He did create

Told Isaiah, prophet of fame,
"I am Yahweh, that is my name!"
Self-existent, unchangeable
I am who I am, Eternal

God is light; no dark in the Lord
His Word is like a two-edged sword
Good and perfect gifts from above
He provides for the birds in love

The heavens were made by His word
Gladly the common people heard
The Word made flesh who dwelt with us
The way to life He did discuss
