I Heard-Tell Of God!



I heard of a god - who is like no other god!
I speak of a god - who wants to be my friend!
I feel that this god - is worthy of my knowing
I have met this God and, now, I understand!

This god IS GOD - The I AM!
The Great Creator!
This God IS God!
He IS the Son of Man!
This God IS Love!
He is Faithful, Kind, and Righteous
And He IS God, and in His reflection now I stand!

No angry god, demanding a human blood sacrifice
He offers Grace, and Mercy, and Love, and Provision
He offers Hope even in the face of Failure and Disgrace
I've come to know, and love, this God of All Graces - The Eternal
And I have decided to cast my lot with Him.

I do not fear that He will leave me stranded
For He explained that taking me to His Fair Home is the Final Goal
He has stated well, that being in His Flock is no cake-walk
That I can expect opposition, denial, hatred and jail
Even betrayal, by friend, foe and, yes, even from family
And upon occasion, I can expect to face
Even death and the grave compliments of the Knave!

He further said:

“Look up! Always UP!
I am Your Father, and I overcame so Satan can’t treat you
Like so much safari game!
Satan will oft’ temp, terrorize and even afflict you
But stand firm in My Love
For I filled in your grave!
Blessed be the ties that bind you to Me and My Father
To Holy Spirit, to the Kingdom of Truth
And Light and Life - to be saved!
I gave My All, and whisper ‘Come, all you who labor
Come unto to Me all you who e'er would find Rest!’
I AM The King of Life and I AM The Shepherd
All in My Flock will always safely graze
In pastures green, where gentle streams o’erfloweth
Where Angels excelling in strength
You excellent guardians be!
I sacrificed My Life
So your personal griefs and pains have meaning
For they are your badges of honor on display
Proving that you are My Child
That you are gaining Home by the Blood of My Sacrifice
Walk on Blessed Child
For you don’t ever walk alone on your own!”

So, Friends, you see
I met The God worthy of my person and my worship
I met The God - The God who IS Love
Not the god Titillate
Not the god of Reasoning Self-Pride
Not the god of I Own It
Nor the god of My Self-Interest
And definitely not the god
Who is always presenting himself as a clone!

I am testifying to personal knowledge of The God
That I am offering to you, Friend Dearest
Gentle, Faithful, Kind,
Constant, Pardoning, and Free
No fees
No clubs
No bungling instability
My God IS The Lord TRUE
Not carrying Pride nor specious Vanity!

He offers a Home through Faith
By Prayer and Supplication
He takes requests
And is willing to be the Welcome Guest
Even in your lowly abode!

One day - He affirms - He is coming in a Glorious Train
To take me to His Heavenly Home
Where I will never find myself a part
Of the Satanic Game of Trade Parade Charades!

I’ve accepted His Offer of Salvation
Justification and Sanctification
And have become a part
Of the Family He calls His Bride
He says I’ll wear White, and Gold
And I will be Glorified
And gain winged flight
To highest heights and beauties unknown!

I like This God
Unto love, more and more
With time’s passing
I see no downside
To giving unto Him my final fate
His only warnings are
Be not deceived by counterfeits and
To answer His Call, when it comes
Don’t wait or it may be too late!”



God Called - I Answered!
I Pray - He Answers!
I Cry - He Cares!
I Lie - He Paid!
I, A Slave - He Entered The Grave!
He Ascended to The Father - I Pray for His Return!
He is Returning - I Pray, and I Await The Day!

Even so, My Lord and My God ... Come. COME!

VESPERS: At The End of The Sabbath - Preachers And Prophets Who Profit And Prey!





Prophets who profit
Preachers who prey
Shepherds selling salvation
Saints in sorrow and decay
Pleading for a True Word 
Of Hope from on High
Instead get a salty platter of burnt bacon
With a side of Satan’s lies as fries!
Children needing chiding
Mothers without milk
Fathers foregoing freedom
Leaders who link
On what is life’s golf course
Where love is on the lam
Where Peter is Patricia
And Cathy is now Cam!
Where Victory in Jesus
Can be bought for a fair price
Where patience is putrid
Where pray is an affront
Where Free-Will is a stallion
And Do Right is a jockey
Where one baby has DNA times three
Oh, Lord! What a disgrace!
Father come for Your world
For, as custodians we fail,
For, were we corporate custodians
We would be in jail
For dereliction of duty
For double-dealing it's true
For scales with weighted bottoms
For writing checks which have long tails!
Dishonest
Disreputable
Desperate
Delusional
Just thinking about this
Is making me tremble and flail!
Father, won’t You hurry?
Please! They’re singing a song
Which, to all right-thinking people
Sounds much like a good-bye song!
Taps! is our musical!
Taps! is the theme song!
Taps! are we wearing
As we walk along
So everyone can hear us
So all can believe that the end is fast approaching
When this earth we must leave!
Some will go to Glory
Where they will find rest
But those who remain behind
Are dead once - and then twice
For believing in Satan - and not in Jesus Christ!
I’ll issue a call here 
Salvation’s door is still swinging free
Say a prayer and push the door
There’s no entrance fee!
Jesus is our Captain!
He holds straight the line
He hears prayers - and He answers
Yes! He IS Divine!
He gives free to all who
Would in Him believe
Gather at the Altar
And you will receive
The Bless of Our Captain
So Satan can’t you deceive!
If you believe in Jesus
Let’s say our prayers
And then cheer!

Thank You, Father, for the food
Thank You, for Jesus who on earth stood
Ready and willing, our sin to take hold
Killed and was buried, but the cold sod couldn’t hold
Him there forever
No! That it could not do
Returned He to Glory
Preparing our place
A mansion is Your House
One day we will stand
Victorious because of love
According to Your Plan!
We worship You!
To You our song we raise
And for Your great sacrifice, Father
We say "Lord! We love You!"
Please accept You our praise!
AMEN

Jesus Is Coming. Jesus IS Coming!




If I did not believe in God
Right now my heart would be chilled
For everywhere all you are hearing
Is of Christians being violently killed!

If I did not believe in God
Right now my heart would be still
For every where all you are hearing
Is of the removal of man’s freewill!

But ... I do believe in Jesus Christ, the Lord
And I trust unwaveringly His every word
For in the debris that is this world
I can hear singing, and I know every chord:

Jesus is coming - look to the east!
Jesus is coming - there will be a feast!
Be not dismayed  that this world is decayed!
Jesus is coming - He won’t be delayed!

Rest from all labor!
Peace from the world!
Joyous celebration of The Coming of Our Lord!
Gird your loins about!
Steady your gaze!
Prepare to be amazed!
Gaze on and sing aloud your praise
For here He comes - The Ancient of Days!

Blessed Assurance





Blessed assurance!
God’s faithfulness is great!
Think of His Kingdom!
Hurry! Time’s late!

Redeemed is the proclamation!
His joy is mine!
Ready your white garments, and
Leave sin’s suitcase behind!

Calvary lifted burdens!
Holy hands bore cruel nails!
Victory in Jesus -
My eyes have no more scales!

Yon pilgrim, there a stranger
They have traveled so long
To reach the Home of the Faithful
To acquire white robe and gold crown!

Jesus Christ is leading
The Holy Spirit's pleading
God made He the Way, so
Stand up for Jesus - He slept in your cold grave!

And because of His great victory
You’re no longer a slave
So pick you up your sword now
And in glorious battle engage!

No retreat! No quarter!
No rabble on the Line!
No fainting! Hey! No falling!
We are covered! Don’t look behind!

With eyes ever fixed forward
Christ’s heart on open display
Christ’s blood is our armor-all
We will not cease nor give way
To that enemy of our own souls
To that foul fiend of the night
Whose stratagems are ignominious
Ignoble, and a right fright!

Sound you off the song number
Call the time and the tune
Mark you step, and step deftly
Board Fair Zion’s galloon!

We will not be becalm-ed
We will not be o’erblown
We will not be torpedoed
Jesus Christ is manning the ‘phones!

So stiffen your spine with your praying
Steady your heart with the Promises
No more time to be wasted -
You’re no more earth-bounded
For you have a date with Destiny
With the King of Love, oh, so Divine
The Table is set - Banquet Hall is bedecked
With such great displays it’ll take Eternity to inspect!

Remember you your manners!
Follow you your guide!
The King! At last! He is coming!
So let your joyous praise rise!

A joyful hallelujah!
A resoundingly great anthem!
Thank you, God, for this - the victory!
No sin again! Hallelujah!
Never see sin again! AMEN!

The Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection and Return of Jesus Christ




Born in a stable
To a virgin young

Baptised and was tempted
Preached, and did heal the throng

Scourged and crucified
Nails one, two and three

Rose on the third day
He returned to Glory

Holy Ghost as fire came down
The promised Comforter had come

Reject, or accept Him
 He’s coming back anyhow

The trumpet is sounding
The King is on His way

Every eye will see
Every tongue will confess

For some - He'll be The Hope Received!
For others - He'll be Dear Lord, We've Been Deceived!

Father, help us all to make the right decision. AMEN.
