I Met A Man

Today I met a man!

He said he could free me from Sin!

He said he could make my life over, and

That he'd clean me from within!

Today I met a man!

Today, I met a man!

Oh, what pleasures he offered!

The joys! What laughter!

He said forget the Hereafter!

Today I met a man!

Today! Two Men!

Two Joys! One Plan!

Calm and Elan!

Today, I met a man!

Today I must choose a man!

Choose sorrow and pain

For later Joy Unrestrained, or

Wild gaiety, and tomorrow

What will be, will be!

Today, I must choose a man!

I asked each one a question

But only one replied!

He said He chose to die for me

To spend Eternity with Him so

Today, I chose The Man!

All that glitters is not gold!

All that laugh often oft' hide bare souls!

I choose to take the sorrows now

For one day I will no more plow

For I'd have reached the furrows' end, and

I'd have planted and tended my ground

And at Harvest Celebration

I'll wear a Victor's Crown

Rewarded for my battle long

And Joys Everlasting will be my song!

Thank God! I chose The Son of Man!

Have you met a man?

Prayer: Father, Protect Me

Father, why do I feel like I'm challenging You?
This is not something that I would permit myself to do
For , Father, You know that I love You!
Truly! Truly, I do!

This feeling is coming out of left field
It’s like a sound coming out of nowhere
And it is making me very uneasy
Father, please help! I know that You care!

Father, You are my Shepherd
You lead me along the right way
Take me in control, Lord
Father, please, help me not to turn away!

Satan and his minions are busy
They keep saying that You, God, are not here
And they’re insisting that my life’s mine
Otherwise I’d see You everywhere!

Father, I see You -You’re all around me
You care, You comfort - I see Your loving hand
And I know that You are God - The Eternal
For You don’t act or behave like a fallen man!

Help me, my Father, this day
To steady my resolve and to walk the way
That You have determined is my way to Glory
And, please, deafen me to Satan’s whispering in my ear! AMEN.

Your Best Life Now?!?

You do not want your best life now

In this old world of woe

For when all is said and done here below

Where, friend, will you go?

My Jesus has prepared a place for me

In the Father’s House

In a land fairer than the day -

And there is no night there!

Eye hath not seen nor ear heard

The plans that God has for His people

So think twice, friend, lest you should end

Up like those that are now called sheeple!

Don’t follow that great multitude

Who deny the Lord His right

To govern over all their lives

Though He has the might!

Don’t let Satan influence you to deny the Lord

As you well know that he has done

Reject him and his minions

And reach gladly for the Son!

Jesus, the Son, sacrificed Himself for you

Upon that shameful tree

Accept His death, His life raised on high

For He loves you mightily!

Study to show yourself approved

A watchman worthy of his hire

Bear your burdens and trials now

And tomorrow there won’t be any yelling about the fire!

Things don’t satisfy the soul!

Things, my friend, benight the soul

Of those who trust in the goods/gods of this world

And try to keep our Jesus under the sole!

Don’t be deceived! God is not mocked!

Know well that there is a reckoning

Coming for all mankind

Both the good and those unbecoming!

King Jesus is coming! All Heaven is coming!

Jesus’ rewards He is bringing in His hand

To give to each as he has worked -

I pray that you worked according to His Plan!

Work now! Night comes!

Live life for Jesus! Don’t live like a sow!

Look to the Light!

Make now your vow:

Heaven! I am going! And how!
