Prayer: Help Me, Lord, To Remember

When ugly sin within me roils and boils

Help me to reject it, and from it recoil

When my known sin I must confess

Lord, help me never again it to possess!

When sin masquerades in pretty dress

Let me suspect it, and thusly address

All the pitfalls, and pranks, and put-ups inspired

To my Lord who has me through Jesus' blood covered!

When I’m acting all lily-livered

Not wanting to offend my friends though they do slither

Help me, Lord, to remember that Jesus Christ bought

Me new life when His Precious Life was made nought!

When I’m behaving stupidly

Saying and doing things right foolishly

Lord, I plead for, and accept, the rod of correction You apply

For I do not want to lose my home with my Jesus Christ on High!

Lord, I love You! Yes, I do!

And for this Old Satan has targeted me for attack

But, thank You, Father, for Mercy and Grace

For because of Christ’s sacrifice I will win this race!
AMEN.

Prayer: Give Me One Word!

Father, when my life on earth is at its end

Give me one word on which my last breath I'll spend

Let that one word be the call of victory

"Jesus, My Lord! I come! Receive me!

If I may some soul encounter today

Listing from sin and living in decay

Lord, a kind word to this soul let me say

"Come unto Jesus

For He is the Light of Life on this benighted way!"

Let me, Dear Lord, a pattern of my Jesus display

Give me the strength to hold life's vanities in contempt

Grant me a heart like my Master's heart

And let me never from His right paths depart!

And, Lord, let this, my heart, be a residence fit

Beautiful, and bright, and shining with godly light

Let this heart-home be worthy of The King

And may it contain a voice to bless My King above anything!

AMEN.

VESPERS At The End Of The Sabbath: Who Will Feed God's Sheep?

Faith without works is dead!

Faith is the victory that sheds

Worldly wants and affections!

Faith will get us to heaven 

For by The Living God we are lead!

Acts 20:27-34
27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

Who Will Feed God's Sheep?

Everybody wants a piece of the action
Christianity is up for sale
There is much buying and selling of the Lord’s flock
And some of the seller’s are having fire sales!

Where, Lord, do we go for respite?
Where, Lord, is the Watchman on the wall?
Where, Lord, is the willing, able, pastor who is
Willing to call: “Enough of this! Foul ball!”

Lord, Your people are so hungry
Yet they are being fed
Food, that has no nourishing substance
For it has only pesticides, formaldehyde, lead!

Mercy! Lord! Mercy! Have Mercy!
Upon this people, here at the last
Ending - for earth’s day is almost over
And the leaders’ unjust laws are over us cast!

Those who should preach the gospel are selling it
They are offering milk instead of meat
They are feeding food that leaves us hungry
When, Lord, You know, we should be replete!

Send help, Dear Father, send a faithful witness
Send messengers who truly fear and love our God
Send witnesses who don’t need witness protection
For they are standing under the wings of the Living God!

Father, we lay here, this sad petition
Give an ear, listen, help us, Lord this day
Protect the sheep, Dear Father, from the ravening wolves
Who wear designer clothing at the expense of Your people living on short pay!

Open the eyes of Your Faithful Children
Remove, Lord, the scales from their seeking eyes
Reveal to them the infidels, charlatans, false priest and false prophets
And the false Christs seeking to blind eyes with their disguise!

You have promised this people your protection
You have promised that Your Word won’t return vain
You have promised to finish the good work that You have promised
You have promised that believers' living will not be in vain!

Deliver, as promised, for You are Creator
Deliver, as promised, for You are the Lord
Deliver, as promised, You, the Angel of the Covenant
Deliver, as promised, for You are our Almighty God!

HAPPY SABBATH and Pastors Pedaling Pablum

Preacher, why are you pedaling pablum?

Why, Sir, do you obfuscate?

Don’t you know we are nearing the City

Where sinners cannot enter in the Gate?

Why do you declare and decree that

God has promised earthly riches to all

When you know that is not what the Word says

And you know that you’re misrepresenting the Lord?

Why do you tell believers that Jesus wants them

To be perfectly happy in this life

When you know that we are just passing through?

Have you no fear of the Father

For it seems that Satan is ruling you?!

Why do you make the faithful believe that

Our God just needs a belly rub

Like He is just a Happy Buddha

Who gives spurious profits, peace and love?

Why do you not preach sin and repentance?

Why do you not preach salvation and grace?

Why do you not preach of the coming Judgment

When the lost will face permanent disgrace?

Why are you telling the people that God does not care

What we say, do, or are?

Don’t you know that God will hold you responsible

For those lost souls at the Judgment Bar?

Won’t you stop lying to the lost, worn and wandering?

Won’t you stop making Christianity a disgrace?

Won’t you stop making the faith of the faithful

Something you can pick up like a win at a horse race?

Repent, be reformed, seek God’s revelation!

Stop letting feelings and experiences guide your way

For Jesus Christ, Himself, He the Creator, said

“Come, let us reason today!”

Almighty God is the God of All Order

Almighty God gives every man a measuring cup

And the way you are misleading God’s people

Tells all that your cup is filling up!

So, if you want God’s wrath poured out upon you

Without mercy, undiluted, full strength

Continue the lawlessness that you are doing

And, believe me, upon you God’s indignation will be shed!

“Come out from among her my people!"

This message from God is a loud cry!

Come out, and live God’s people, for why, pray tell

Should you give up eternal life and forever die?

Buy truth, sell it not, all ye faithful!

Trust God and not mammon esteem!

Wear faith, hope, love, and charity for garments

And the Great God will bless you indeed!

SOMSTTL Job Request No. 253774647

God's Traffic Director!?

Who can direct God’s traffic?

Surely not a creature of the dust

And definitely not a fallen cherub

Nor even those who believe He is Love!

God is All-seeing

All-knowing, Ever-present

His will is sovereign - can’t be set aside

And those who believe that they can direct Him

You poor things! 

You're falling for deadly delusions and devilish lies!

Can a creature control his creator?

Can the created demand the Creator submit to its commands?

What kind of creator would the Creator be

If no cut-off switch prepar-ed He

If need He ever to ditch

A creature who has gone rogue

And is acting the witch?

Our Creator IS the God of All Order!

Our Creator has no need of our advice!

We, the created, come from His Hand

Which bespeaks of a right mighty plan

No matter the Crow’s genius game of playing Hangman!

So for you who feel

That your chord brings God to heel

I suggest you take a look at your owners manual!

God is the Controller!

Fail the test - seek a boulder

And ask it to cover you in the Great Distress!

God is real!

God has no mother!

God is The Lord of all umbilical cords!

Bow you before Him - for He is Love!

Secure His affection!

Give Him all worship and praise!

Give Him your devotion!

Give Him faithful love!

For He keeps wonderful records

At His House up above!

God Ain't Never Purchased No Pajamas!

My God does not wear pajamas

He is not blind, deaf, nor dumb

He is neither short, nor tall, bub

He is the God of The Outcomes!

My God is also My Father

He listens faithfully to my every prayer

And if something is amiss with the asking

He doesn’t leave me with fears, and in tears!

My God is the God of Full Disclosure

He tells the beginning, and the end

It is then up to me how to operate

While remembering He is looking at how I contend!

I can go to My God with any problem

A concern, a sorrow, or just to say “Hello!”

He always has for me a ready answer

E'en if it is “Yes!” “Wait.” or just a plain “NO!”

What I am trying to say to you is

You can really, really, trust My God!

He is no paper saint, nor a plaster

He made us all! 

And, no! He can’t faint, fail nor fall!

So, please, get a grip of yourself, friend

Trust my God who is The God of Always

Available to those who look/come to Him

So put away the plastic, and let us say our prayers!

"Our Father, up in Heaven
Who condescends to hear man
Bless this, your child, who is asking
For help with the problems made by man!

Lord, we humans are unkind, even
Cruel and unkind to each other day by day
I pray, Dear Lord, for Your soon coming
Hurry! We are in self-destruct mode and
There is much death-dealing and decay!

There are children daily dying
The Fathers are lying
The Mothers sell themselves just to buy a happy meal
And the politicians! Oh yes! The great ones who us lead
Behave like leperous beggars
Carrying hog-lice, selling hornets nests
And sneezing, and sneezing, rabid fleas!

Father, our situation is precarious
'Cause we wear blinders, and dark glasses, late at night
We cover our ears with Dr Dre’s Beats
And listen to the deepest Bose super-bass
Whilst we call 911 singing
7-11’s 411 in basketball heat!

Have mercy, Lord, on us who believe You
Who trust You - in hope - as we pray
Give us You Grace to stand in this battle
For Father, Our Lord is Your Son -
He also is The Son of Man -
Who perfected Redemption's Holy Plan! AMEN."

Prized Memory Chest

I have an untidy table

That’s set up shop within my mind

It holds the trials and troubles of yesterday

And sins that I can’t seem to leave behind!

One day, I sat talking to Jesus

And wondered why this should be 

He looked at me so tenderly

And I just started to glow!

“Little One,” said Jesus, so kindly

“You say you trust Me, but no!”

“You give me all your troubles and trials,

But the sins, you just won’t let them all go!”

“I promised that I would cast all confessed sin

Into the Sea of My Forgetfulness!

I’ve forgotten, and forgiven you of them, but

You’ve locked them in your prized memory chest!”

“This is not what I want, Child, for you

For stored sin is like a diseased boil with a crust!

You pick it, and pick it, until you’ve torn the crust off

And it is soon running all over with pus!”

“No! Child of Mine! I offer you better!

I paid the price of your crimes!

I took to myself all your sins -

I love you enough to have died!

So, look to Me!

Give it up! 

Go all in!”

“I AM the Lord of All Creation!

I AM the Lamb of Calvary!

I AM the High Priest of the New Covenant!

I AM the Great King who set you free!”

“Look at my hands! Do you see these nail prints?

This is because I love you so much!

So if you say you love, and trust, Me

Wipe your table clean, and please fold it up!”

“With no space available for storage

No favorite spot for a safe hiding place

You will be free from Satan constantly accusing you

And calling you a Christian Disgrace!”

“My Child:

 I AM able to bear all!

I AM able to carry your load!

I AM the Lover of your Soul!

I AM Your Savior! Your Redeemer! 

I’ve got this!

I’ll see you at The Victor’s Abode!”

VESPERS At the End of the Sabbath - Which god is God?

I believe God’s truth but

You believe Old Satan’s bold lies

My God's Holy Spirit lives inside me

Your god lives in your clouded eyes, and

He does nothing to help or protect you

For he has no Heaven-given bona fides!

I know my God is faithful

I feel His loving care - EVERY DAY!

Your god has no love for you

And he surely does not seem to care

If you are sad - or happy

If you are having a day - or night - mare

For he is the one who neglects you and

He is not one to offer an ear!

"Come unto me!" says my Heavenly Father

"Come, and you will find rest!"

Your god is the god of all trouble

He’ll stir up - and set you upon - an ant’s nest for

He wastes no time to comfort - or guide you

Into places where you can shine and be at your best!

I ask you: "Which one is the Real God?

Which one welcomes us into rest?

Which one is the One who created us

And answers us when trouble’s on the chest?

I tell you your god is a masquerader!

He is wearing a carnival costume!

He has no right to your allegiance for

He can’t even create a simple bloom!

Infidel, Deceiver, Father of Lies, He

Who suffered from the disease of the I’s

He coveted the Throne of our Father

And seeks to deny us the right to be in bliss!

And if you think that he is your friend

Take a peak at his published hit-list!

How, then, can you choose to honor that god

Who can do nothing to help himself?

Too proud to say: “Father, I’m sorry!”

Too arrogant before His God to bow down

And because he is an incorrigible

He plays the Burning-Man Song:

“Don’t be a Jesus follower

His life is totally the pits

He wants you to pray and to worship

And, ewwww! that gives me the spits!

Come play with me - I really party!

Come party with me - I’m happy to play!

Kick you some puppies as you pass by

Party every day until you die!

Why rest and reflect on your past sins

Come to Bacchanal - I’m teaching some lovely new ones!

I’m the god of Feels and Sensations, and

With me in the lead you’ll experience all!”

Well, my friend, I don’t know about you, but

I will stay with my Almighty God!

The One who loves me enough to chastise me

The One who helps me when I mess up, and fall

The One I cry to when I worry

The One I lean upon when sorrow calls

The One who is The Lord, The True Shepherd

The One God who can destroy Satan’s 8-ball!

No masquerader god will I follow

No party-animal leader for me

No funster who is always about gaming

No specter called Satan will pick me off!

I - a Christian - will walk holy, and in order

I - a Child of the King, and Redeemed - will stand tall

I - a True Believer - in Hill Calvary

I - a Sinner turned Saint - await my Heavenly Call!

DECLARATION: Jesus IS Mine!

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

I don't care what Satan's minions do to me

Jesus isn't leaving me behind!

They can take my possessions

They can cook me like steak

Jesus Christ IS the One I worship

And from that they can't me shake!

In Jesus I will fight this battle

Through The Holy Spirit, I won't Him forsake

Do all, and more - you won't shake me!

I won't ever my Jesus forsake!

The Gauntlet

I know that I'm throwing down a gauntlet

In that Old Satan's evil face

But there is nothing that he can do to me

For Jesus Christ stood up in my place!

Satan did his best to destroy me

He left no avenue untouched

He tried to maim, to break down, evil kill me

He thought he had me in his clutch!

But then one day I met Sweet Jesus

The King of whose I am

The Savior, my Lord, my Redeemer

For whose sin He left Heaven above, and came down.

To defeat Satan, Jesus had to die a death that was shameful

Jesus had to bear all the sin and the shame

Of the whole world, yesterday, today and tomorrow

He had to sleep in the cold, dank, ground!

But victory of victories

At sunrise, Jesus Christ arose the first day

And ascended, triumphant, unto The Father

Such a glorious day! Great day!

So, Satan, do what you know you want to

You have no part in this regenerated child

Who believes in, and holds on, to her Master

You know, Jesus, The Christ, crucified

Who paid my price - I stand a champion

Who died that I can now live

Get thee behind me, you Liar, you Hypocrite, you Murderer

Jesus Christ already crushed your wicked head!

Glory! Oh Glory! Hallelujah!

Come, My Lord! Come, Angel Band!

Come, wing me to my home up in glory!

For I earned me, through Christ's blood, my bona fides!

HAPPY SABBATH!! Prayer: Father, Thank You!

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for my spared life!

Help me to remember

that I will always need You!

Help me to never forget that

since I have no reason to regret that!

You, Lord, are Good, and You are Faithful.

Help me to never allow my eyes

to dictate what I shall be fed, and help me

to be contented with Your walking speed.

I ask You to help me to trust You as a

blessed child of a Beloved Father.

Thank You for the blessings and the

bounties You provide to me each and 

every day, and I ask You to keep me

steadfast, and don't let me ever again stray.

I love You, Lord, for You alone, are worthy.

AMEN.

Lizard Tongue

I am tired of hearing the Gospel

Preached with The Lizard Tongue

For it tickles my ears with its message

That Jesus Christ won’t ever frown

At lies, deceits, fornication

Licentiousness, bacchanal

Vainglory, and doctrines of devils

And the putting of white pearls on a black sow! 

Pastor, take your cold tongue out my earhole

Preach the Word - undiluted - as it comes

Straight  - from the Word of The Father

No chaser - send it, send it right down!

If I want my ears to be tickled

I have q-tips in my medicine chest

I put some water on them for sensation

And have myself a tickle-fest!

God’s Holy Word is The Truth, and

It needs not polish, spin, color, nor excuse

Tell the people what The Lord God told you

Anything else - do me a favor, and

Give it a pass, please

Just refuse!

My soul - it will be thankful

My heart - it will be glad

The Father - He will commend you

And Satan, welllll ... he'll be right mad!

I can live with that!

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!

Name "IT" and Claim "IT!?"

My "friend" got angry with me
Because of the stance that I take
She thinks that for a Christian I am foolish
And she calls me a big fat fake!

My "friend" has been following the trend that
Is totally sweeping the church
Believing that if you can name it you can claim it
And you won’t be left behind, and in the lurch!

Well, I should tell you that we had
A great parting of the ways
Because I refuse to join in the movement
That purports to reach God in many ways!

I don’t care what my "friend" thinks of me
I don’t want my best life now
For anyone who wants their best life in the corporeal
Really doesn’t need Jesus anyhow!

So if you have a problem with my lack of possessions
If you have a problem with my empty purse
If you have a problem with my unfashionable clothing
Don’t feel sorry for me! I don’t view my lack as being a curse!

Jesus Christ has promised me a mansion
If I trust in, and believe Him, and walk
Straight along the narrow path way to Glory
And ignore the heathens, and their lotta long talk!

So I will make my own declaration
I will state here my own case
I will not follow the multitude to do evil
And I will not play at Satan’s Burning Place!

I am going to name King Jesus
And I am going to call Him my God
And I am readily going to claim Him
As my Savior, my Redeemer, and my Lord!

Mine, mine, mine!
King Jesus is mine!
He knows my name!
And He’s not leaving me behind!
To Him I give glory!
To Him I offer my praise!
Sorry, "friend!" I can’t join you at your party
'Cause I ain’t burning in that great blaze!

Prayer: Help Me To Let You Do For Me

Heavenly Father,

help me to walk confidently in Your Light,

 and to do what is right in Your Sight this day, and always.

Help me, Lord, to not take care

of another problem for myself today, for my 

taking care of them in my own strength 

never causes them come out to my benefit. 

Help me to not decide that I can

make my own way plain, for my decision-making 

often leaves me writhing in pain inside. 

Please, Father, help me to let go of my willful self and

allow You do what You know is best for me.

Help me, Lord, to remember that

my one right decision led me to You, Who, 

for the love of this great sinner, 

met Your death at Calvary to purchase 

my pardon, and to set me free

from a burdensome life of sinning.

And, Lord, that freedom that You purchased for me, 

I offer it to You as my sacrifice today, and I

beseech You to accept this offering, for it comes

from my freewill. 

I also ask You, please, to carry me, step by step,

along the rough way, and throughout this toilsome day.

I love You, Lord. AMEN.

Satan Hates My Jesus

Since Satan hates my Jesus
Why, then, would he not hate me?
I am no match for his evil but,
Thank God, I know Jesus competes for me!

I cannot match wits with Satan
I have no shape-shifting ability
I am as God ordained it - I’m a pilgrim
And I won’t engage in vain philosophy!

Satan has six plus thousand years of experience
Studying man and using his wiles to defeat we
Who are unwary, oft unguarded, and often foolish
Thinking that Satan’s a friend when he’s sweet-talking for a fee!

Open your eyes, and give your heart to King Jesus
Trust His Word - He paid blood to save humanity
And if there was only one that He could die for
He would’ve done it for He loves us, truly loves us, don’t you see?

Here’s a heads-up for you, my friends and dear ones
Don’t get emotional, and don’t you get yourselves trapped
By earth's pretty baubles, and rotting, and rusting, bounty
Trust you in God if you want, really want, everlasting riches, and
Sign on to the Ship of Zion that’s
Bound for Heaven’s awesome, and wondrously great, glory!

MOVIE - Story of William Tyndale (God's Outlaw)

Mankind's Three Temptations

There are only three temptations
That every man must face
The same three presented to our Jesus
When Satan He had to face!

Temptations’ categories are very specific
There is no need to go out looking for more
They are in your face and are clearly defined so
Draw near, and we shall have a look and explore!

The first temptation faced by our Savior Jesus
Is common, so common to woman and man
It is the Temptation to Appetite and Indulgence, and
Turning yourself into the proverbial garbage can!

Garbage in, garbage out - eye, ear, head and belly
We become that which we consume
So take a page from the Words of our Jesus
And tell Satan it ain’t all about the sweet food!

Second on tap was the Temptation of Presumption
When you tempt God to cover you as you go and do some crap
Believing that God has no choice but to be at your disposal
As you do the things that can cause you to take a dirt nap!

And then there’s Temptation Number 3! Ah, yes! This is the big one
The Temptation to Worship Satan and not worship Almighty God
And, believe me, this temptation is the real deal-breaker
For it resulted in Song Leader Lucifer’s inglorious fall!

As it did through the ages, in the last days, the issue of worship
Will be used to determine where each one of us is going to spend Eternity
Use your commonsense, your reasoning ability, your love for Jesus
To keep you upright as they push you up against the wall for failing to fall!

So, think hard about what this story is telling you
Protect your eyes, ears, heart, head, belly, and libido
Beg the Lord for His Mercy, Grace, Covering and Consolation
So that on that Day you won’t be begging rocks to hide you from God!

The Bible Is Full Of Bread

My Bible is a pillow

That is full of bread

It heals, sustains and leads me

And comfortest my head!

What nonsense am I talking?!

No, my Friend! I am no fool!

If you will listen for a moment

I will tell you a story true!

My Old Granny gave me a Bible

When said she that I was of an age

To know the right, the wrong and the ugly

It listed all on its page!

The Bible had stories of adventure

Idolatry, carnage and hard bondage

It contains stories of love and redemption

And even a High King sacrifice on a page!

Granny said the Bible is good for what ails me

No matter what situation I’m in

I only have to pray: “God help me!”

And read the words of the Sage!

The Bible has no pedestrian magic

It contains no sleight of hand

But it contains miracles of abundance

Straight from the Son of Man!

This Bible has food for the hungry

It tells of the raising of the dead

It tells of compassion for the unhealthy

And fixes those with demons in the head!

My Book contains all the wisdom of the wisest

King to ever have lived

It contains stories of great and fearsome dragons

And the King who kills them dead!

But in all the stories contained there

My favorite by far is the one

That tells that if I walk the straight and narrow

I will be exempted from the Judgment Bar!

It asks me to confess and repent of

All the wrong that I have done

And ask the Father by His Spirit to forgive me

Through the Blood of His Beloved Son

That covers and cleanses me from

The past, and the present, too

I just need to daily give Him my will

And I will walk holy too!

It promises that though I walk through The Valley of The Shadow 

I have nary an evil to fear

For The Savior is walking beside me

And He keeps every foe at bay!

And then one day that is coming

The King of Love, and Heaven’s throng

Will burst through the rolling scroll

And there will be triumphant singing

Which will be very,very loud

From all those who have kept the commandments

And maintained their souls in the Light

Joined by those of the Saints of all ages

Raised from the rest of the long night

To wing their way up to Home in Glory

Led by their King, Prince Immanuel

Where each will receive a crown that is golden

And find rest, and be eternally loved, and fed!

So, here! I have a bible for you!

Make it your very best friend as

It will comfort, guide, and sustain you

For it truly is Life-carrying Bread!

So you see that I am not lying

My Bible is no book of the dead

My Bible is living, dynamic, and its

Where I go to be led, comforted and fed!
