SIN: Eschew! Eschew!

Self-Willed Sally
And
Own-Way Chase
Were Known To Be Crabby
When In The Presence Of Straight-Laced!

The Problem Was Simple
And
The Reason Profound
Because
Straight-Laced Lived On And Walked Faithfully 
On The Narrow Way
And
Worked On The Path Of Verity
And
Shopped At "It Is Written!"
And
Permitted No One
From The Path Of Truth And Righteousness
To Cause Him To Turn Around!

Battle Lines Were Meticulously Drawn
And
Straight-Laced
- Watching, Waiting
And
Working For His Lord -
Deftly Drew Out And Finely Sharpened
His God-Given Sword!

He Never Raised His Voice
And 
He Had No Need To Curse
Because
He Wielded The Sword Of Truth!

Listen To Him
Hear Him Cut Unruly-Sin Down
To The Vanquished-Today Size:

Many Are They That Trouble Me!
Many Are They That Rise Up Against Me! 
Many Are They That Say Of My Soul 
There Is No Help For Him In God: 
But Thou, Oh, Lord, Art A Shield For Me
My Glory And The Lifter Up Of My Head!

I Waited For The Lord And He Inclined Unto Me 
And Heard My Complaint!

Blessed Is The Man
Who Walks Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly
Nor Standeth In The Way Of Sinners
Nor Sitteth In The Seat Of The Scornful!

The Lord Is My Rock And My Redeemer!

Trust Ye In The Lord Forever
For In The Lord Jehovah Is Everlasting Strength!

They That Wait Upon The Lord Shall Renew 
Their Strength, They Shall Mount Up With Wings As Eagles!
They Shall Run And Not Be Wary!
They Shall Walk And Not Faint!

The Naysayers Were Many ...

Whenever Selfish-Selena
Jealous-Judy
Licentious-Lynbrook
Doubting-Dorothy
Impious-Ilene
And
Gainsaying-Gareth
Sought To Gall Him
By Calling Him A Gull For
Believing In The Living Word
By Them Considered A Dead Letter
To A Bunch Of Space Cadets
Straight-Laced Did Not Take Offence!

He Took The Only Action
Sure, Always, To Be Effective:

He Sighed!
He Cried Over The Abominations
And
Dear Lord
He Prayed!

He Prayed For Their Help!
He Prayed For Their Health!
He Prayed Against Their Hard-Headedness
Their Hard Heartedness
And
He Prayed For Their Revival
Their Reformation
And
He Pleaded With The Lord 
For Their Conversion To The Cause Of Christ
And
Don't You Know
One Rather Gloomy Day
A Crack Appeared
In The Wall Of Willing Sinners
Known Viciously Arreared Against Him!

Falene-Pharisee
And
Sarcastic-Cyralene
- Known Rabid Haters Of Straight-Laced -
Banged, Banged ... Knocked Real Hard
- In An Urgent Tattoo -
Upon His Open, Always Open, Front Door!

They Didn't Give Him A Chance To Offer Pleasantries!

They Just Said:

Give Us Water!
Feed Us Bread!
Point Us To The Shepherd
Or Very Soon We Shall Be Dead!

We Offer No Explanation!
Know This: We Need The Living Light!
Satan Has Proved Himself A Gross Liar!
His Way Of Life Is Blight!

Straight-Laced Asked No Questions!
He Simply Uttered:

Thank You, Jesus!


It Was His Heartfelt Prayer
And
He Hugged And Invited His Guests
- Expected, Unexpected -
To Sit Down For The Meal! 


He Pointed Them To His Simply-Appointed 
Dining Room 
And Fittingly Arrayed Table And Beckoning Chairs!

The Plates Were Plain Truth!
The Knives Were Knowledge!
The Spoons Dug Into Salvation!
The Forks Held Fidelity!
The Cups Were Filled With Confidence In Christ!
The Glasses Told The Surpassing Glory Story
And
In Each Linen Napkin, Clean And White
Were The Words Of Truth And Life
The Aching Soul Sure To Delight!

There Was Grace Before The Meal!

Mercy, The Platter
Did Seasoned Vegetables Various Yield
Showing And Telling That
Mercy Covers All
No Matter The Type
The Stripe!
Mercy ... Is For One And All!

And

There Was A Little Brown Bag
To Hold The Vomitus Of Sin Confessed
A Known Necessity
If
One Willed By The Great King
Truly To Be Blessed!

Repentance Was At The Table!
It Was A Turning-U
Black-Black To Charcoal-Grey
Dirty Beige To Bright White:

It Encourages One Not To Be
The Sin-Slave
And
To The Will Of The Eternal God
Willingly To Cave!

Said Straight:

Jesus Christ IS The Way-Maker!
Jesus Christ IS The Bread-Baker!
Satan Is The Liar, The Faker
And Only You Can Decide
To Be The Narrow-Way Taker!

Turn Away From Self And Sin!
Turn To Jesus Christ And Heaven Win!
Bless The Lord And He Will Bless You
When The Way Of Sin
You Boldly Eschew!

That Hour
That Day
Standing In Faith
On Prayer
Having Hope
Those Two Willingly, Joyfully, Joined
The Heaven-Bound Crew!

Jesus Christ Saves!
He Saved Them
And
He Can
He Will
Save Me And You, Too!

Don't Be Complacent!
Fighting Against Sin
Is
A Moment By Moment
Day By Day Battle
Done In The Strength
In The Faith Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Returning-Soon Savior
Redeemer, Lord And God!
Let's Walk With Him In Total Accord!

ICY, I SEE: Doubt ... And Faith ...And Disobedience

If I Hear The Word Of Truth
And
I Doubt The Word Of Truth
Does That Mean That
The Word Of Truth Is A Lie!?!

If I Know That The Lord Christ Is Real

And
I Choose To Doubt That He Is Real
Does That Mean That
The Lord Christ Is A Falsity!?!
A Fantasy!?! 
If I Am Made Of The Clan Human

But
I Choose To Walk Like A Duck
Talk Like A Duck
Dump As A Duck
Does That Make Me A Duck
Or Does It Brand Me A Human Quack!?!

Shaking My Head ...


I Have A Real Problem
With People Who Call Green, Black
Just Because They View The Green
In The Darkness
Refusing To Look At It
In The True And Bright Light
Which Offers Real Insight
Sufficient Even The Veriest Jade To Delight!

What Do You See ...


Men Are Using "Magic" Mirrors
So That What Looks Back At Them
Is Not 
The Same Person
As The One Who Is Doing The Looking!

Gotta Do De Math ...


If We Extrapolate That
And
Think Of The Lord Of Life
Who Repeatedly Tells, Asks, Pleads
With Us To Live By Faith
And
Not To Live By Lying Eyesight
We Will Do Well
And
Prosper
Instead Of Hurting Self And Others
By Depending Upon That
Which Leads To The Hell-Bound Offer!

Faith ... I Can't See Now

But
I Choose To Believe The Word That 
I Will See ... Later!

Doubt ... I Can't See What I Can't See

Because I Can't See
And 
I Choose To Disbelieve The Word
That I Could See If I Choose To Have Faith
And Believe That I Will See ... In Time!
A Mouthful
But
Not Way-To-Eternal-Life Goals!

Faith Is Not About Being Brave!

Faith Is All About Obedience!

Doubt Is Not About Disbelief!

Doubt Is About Disobedience!

Belief Is A Choice!
Disbelief Is A Choice!
Disbelief Makes Satan Glad! 
Belief Makes Heaven Rejoice! 

"I Can't See!" She Said, Blindly. 
"I Don't Have A Care!" She Said
While Carrying The Heavy Load
Ignoring The Fact That
Belief Takes Away Worry
And
Disbelief Causes One To Treat Liberally 
With Debilitating Fear!

At Her Gross Folly
Satan, Triumphing
Does Jeer! 

Ask De Hard T'ings ...

Are We Regulation Fools
Disguised Idiots
Masquerading As Saints!?! 

Or

Are We Salt Of The Earth
Light Of Life
Blessed To Be Blessings
Hearing The Word Of The Living God
And
Faithfully Believing
- And Doing -
Without Fear Or Failing
Not Caviling!?!

We Are Not Promised Easy Living! 

Whether We Have Dollars Or Cents
Pounds Or Pence
We All Need Sense To Scent
The Stench On The Winds Of Change! 

Ignorance Is Not Bliss!
Foolishness Is Not Sense!
Having Guts Is No Guarantee Of Glory
But
Praise Be To Jesus
Good News Is The Present Truth 
Gospel Story! 

Bow And Burn Both Begin With "B"
But
Only One Leads The Believer
To Eternal Life!

JESUS CHRIST THE LORD IS KING: Will You In His Glorious Presence Sing!?!

He Who Calls You
Will Bring You Through!
He Who Sends You
Will Equip You To Get You Through!
He Who Asks Of You Faithful Service
Is Faithful To Help You To Serve
And
He Will Not Accept Service
That Is Performed On
The Convenience Curve!

Our Master
Is
The Lord Christ
The Creator, The Savior
The Redeemer
The Forever Friend
Who Took Off His Royal Robes
Left Behind His Glory, Honor, Worship, Praise
And
The Visible Love Of All In The Heavenly Realm
To Come Down To Earth To Live 
- And To Die -
And
To Show Us How To Live Right
In The Realm Of Mortal Men!
On His Living Example We Can Depend!

First Appearance ... A Cattle Stall!
Next To Final Appearance
In A Corrupt And Wicked Ruler's
Judgment Hall!
He Died A Spectacle
Washed In The Words Of 
A Myriad Evil Tongues!
Before He Closed His Eyes In Sleep
He Could Have From That Cross Of Shame
With Power Stepped Down!

He Loved Us Then!
He Loves Us Still!
He Desires That We Live Abundantly
And
Because He Walked Our Walk
And
Died In Our Shame
He Can
He Will
He Does Us Teach
The Way To The Heavenly Father
And
How To The Forever Home
We May Safely
Victoriously ... As Blessed Overcomers
Rejoicing Reach!

Grace And Faith
Light Of Truth
Peace And Rest
Forgiveness And Blessing
Prayers And Petitions
Honest Laboring
Are Helps For Us
To Become The Spiritual Success!


Confessed Sin Is A Necessity
And
Repentance For Known Sin, Too
And
An Enduring And A Consistent Walk
With Him, Dear Brethren
Is 
Not To Be Eschewed!

His Walk Was Not On Rose Petals!
His Bed Was Not A Puffy Cloud!
His Adversaries Were Many
And
His Last Garment Was A Burial Shroud!

Who Should Have Loved Him
Hated Him!
Who Should Have Praised Him
Cursed!
Who Should Have Lifted Him Up
Nailed Him Down
But
Glory Be To The Father
They Could Not Keep Him In The Ground
And, So
We, Today, Who Choose To Hear Him
And
Believe Him
Are Blessed Beyond Measure
As We Willingly Walk Behind Him
The Shepherd
Faithful, Loving, Kind, True
Who, Alone, Points The Way
Makes The Path
Procures The Grass
Causes Pure Water To Gush Out Of The Flinty Stone
And
Is The Guiding Light To Get Us Home
Has Promised Us ... In His Blood
To Raise Us Up To His Glory
When In Him We Die
Wrapped Up In The Gospel Story!

So ...

I Appeal To Us All
Summer Spring Winter Fall
In Peace, At War
In Plenty, In Need
In Sickness, In Health
In Penury, In Wealth
Stick For Dear Life To Jesus Christ
Whose Life And Love
Is Stuck To Me, To You!
It's True!

Do Not Doubt!
Do Not Fear!
Do Not Get Bent Out Of Shape
Because
Your Life Is Being Harassed
By A Raging Lion
An Achy-Toothed Bear
A Piercing Serpent
And
Locusts Foraging!

Your Sea May Be Boiling!
The Waves Billowing May Roll!
Your Ship May Have Holes!
Your Shoes May Lack Soles!
You May Be Faint From Hunger!
Your Best Friend Is Your Worst Enemy!
Your Child May Be A Scorpion
And
Your Spouse's Love Is As Poisoned Honey!

Do Not Look Left!
Do Not Look Right!
Do Not Live In Carnal Eyesight!

Look Up To Jesus!
Lift Up Your Heart To Him!
Pray Without Ceasing
And
Do Not In Him Cease Your Believing!
Reach For His Beckoning
And
Outstretched-To-Receive Hand!

The Devil Is The Liar Supreme!
Jesus Christ The Righteous 
Is 
King, Ruler
Lord Of Everything:

His Home Is Your Promised Home
And
Available For The Taking!
In Your Life Crown Him King
And
In Eternity
His Praises
You, Glorified
Immortalized
Shall Enraptured Sing!

Make His Love Your Everything
So That In The Appointed Day
You Will Be Amongst The Redeemed
Who Shall Make Heaven's Portal Ring!

No Force Is Required:
Make Jesus Christ Your King
And
Receive The Reserved For You
Heavenly Portion!

SALVATION vs. SELF: Kings, Crowns, Kingdoms

Two Kings
Two Scepters
Two Crowns
Two Lights
Two Weights Of Glory
Two Peoples Striving In The Throng!

One Jewel-Encrusted Crown
Bears The Eternal Light
And
The Surpassing Weight Of Glory!

One Crown
Holds Finite Fame And Fortune
And
Prospers The Recipient
Because
Of A Less Than Truthful Story!

One Crown Is Offered
By That Great King!

One Crown Is Offered
By The Old Piercing Serpent
He Who Lives To Blight
And
Venomously Sting!

Most People
Want Desire Need
Fame And Fortune
So That Amongst Carnal Men
They Shall Be The Toast
Ever Willing
To Kill, Deceive
Doubt God
And
Truth Disbelieve
Instead Of
Taking The Good King's Imperishable Crown
After A Short Day Of Personal Denial
And
Physical Suffering!

Sad, So Sad!

So Sad And Yet, So True!

Instant Gratification
Profits ... In The Short Term
The Known-Carnal Crew
Who Will Deny Self To Keep A Pound
Who Will Deny Family To Keep A Penny

And
Who Will Deny The Lord Christ
Because
He Says Deny Self
And
Trust The Lord
And
Be Faithful Faithful
If
One Chooses To Receive
- In The Living God's Time -
The Crown Of Christ's Glory That
Shall Eternally Shine
In The Land Beautiful
Peaceful
Blessed
Sublime!

Would You Give Up Glory
Just To Own A Property With Brass Gates!?!

Would You Give Up Eternal Peace
Just To Imbibe A Gluttonous Feast
That Ends In Relief By A Bathroom Release!?!

Would You Choose To Dwell In Time
Just Because You Cannot
Envisage Eternity
And
Choose To Live In Bondage To Known Sin
Because
You Are Fearful Of Trusting
The Lord Who Demands The Obedience Of Faith
And
Promises Unyielding Love And Provision
And
Truly Blessed Liberty
Without The Truth Or Dare Division!?!





Brethren, Beloved
The Kings Are Jesus Christ The Righteous
And
Satan The Willing Murderer

The Known Father Of Lies!

The Kingdoms Are
Heaven With The Lord Of Life And Light
And
Hell
Where Sin, Self, Satan, Fallen Angels
And
Unrepentant Sinners
Face The Last Mile ... Alone
As They Are Burned With Unquenchable Fire
And
Utterly ... Forever ... Consumed!

If We Will Lift Up Our Eyes
Just A Wee Bit Higher
We Will Not Choose The Path Of Convenience
Which Always Leads
To The Fire And Brimstone Lake
Funeral Pyre!

Self Is A Sinner!
Satan Ain't A Saint!
Jesus Christ Delivers The Repentant Sinner
So That He Won't Suffer
Satan's Just Fate!

All Crowns Are Not Created Equal
And
Not All Kings Care For Their People!


At Last, I Get It!

You Would Do Well To Try And Keep It!

Possessions
Position
And
Pleasures
Are All Tied Up In Self!
Theirs Is A Consenting Relationship
And With Them 
Self Is Acquiring Some Heft!

You Mean He Is Getting Fat!

Well, Yes!
But I Was Being, You Know
Kinda Polite!

Waste O' Time!
He Head Swell Big!
He Pocket Bulging Large!
He Carnal House Obscene!
He Car  ... Hum
And That Thumb That He Always
Pressing Down People With
Is Seriously Enlarged!

Let's Not Forget That 
He Also Has A Real Big Mouth
And A Razor Sharp Tongue
And ...!

... No Fear Of The Living God
None For Man Like Himself
And Definitely None For The Damned Devil!

Alright, Fellas!
We Know All The Downs!
Are There Any Ups To This Disaster!

Sure!
I Could Kill Him
And The Problem Is Solved!

If You Kill Self
Where Does That Leave The Rest Of Us!?!

Brethren,
We Are Not Thinking Straight
Because
We Are Not Looking At The Big Picture!

What On Earth Do You Mean!?!

If You Kill That Sinful Self
And
Do Not Replace It With Something Good
All That You Have Left 
Is
A Shell Of A Man Available ...!

... For Satan To Have One Of His Bully Boys
To Take Over And Inhabit!

In That Case
We Are Better Off With Self!

Not Really!
Satan, Self And Sin Are A Chorus!

Alright, Alright!

Look At This:

S E L F

Spelt Backward
It Is  F L E S!

F or Fullness Of
L ife
E scape
S elf

All That Is Missing Is H!

H For Hope In Christ
H For Help From Christ

H For Healing By Christ

H For Home With Christ
H For The Indwelling Holy Spirit Of God And Christ!

H For Hallelujah!

Jesus Christ Saves From Sin
From Self
And
From Satan!

The Crux Of The Matter ...

We Have A Challenge
That States Clearly That

F or Fullness Of
L ife We Must
scape
S elf By
H oping In Jesus Christ Who Saves!

In Short, Brethren
It Is Time Rid Self Of Self
And
Seek After Christ's Eternal Life!
We Must Give All, Everything
To The Lord Jesus Christ!

When Jesus Christ Is First
Is All
We Can Never By Self
- Into Sin -
Be Made To Fall!

Heed The Call!
Answer The Holy Spirit's Quiet Call
And
In The Appointed Time
We Shall ... In Triumph
With Jesus Christ 
The King Of The Living Kingdom
Escape The Condemned Blue Ball!


Don't Be Like 

Cain, Nimrod
Esau, Pharoah
Ahab, Jezebel, Athaliah
Judas Iscariot And King Saul!
Uncontrolled Self Will Cause You
Into Satan's Nefarious Plans
Ignominiously To Fall!

It Is Time To Turn To The Lord Christ
And
By His Holy Spirit Guiding Our Lives
Reverse The Fall!


Those Who Hope
In The Lord Jesus Christ
Will Obediently Heed
The Call To Eternal Life!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FAITH: Barren Land!?! + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Us To Keep The Holy Faith!

We Have Highest Heaven To Gain
And
Lowest Hell To Shun!
Lord God Almighty
Please Help Us To Christ Jesus ... With Alacrity
For Certain Help To Run!

Why, Oh, Why, Do We Not See Our Need!?!
Why, Oh, Why, Do We Let Satan Ride Us
Like Broken-Down Steeds!?!
Why Won't We Humble Ourselves
And
Call Out To The Master
So That He Will Send True Help To Us
To Save Us From Unmitigated Disaster!?!

Look At Yourself ...

Is Your Devil Stronger Than Your God!?!
Is Your God Paper, Plaster, Wood, Stone
Or
That Unprincipled Fraud!?!

If Your Answer To These Questions
Is "Yes!"
Let Me Tell You Plain, Brethren
It Is About Time That You, Your Known Sin
Humbly Confess!

Jesus Christ Saves!
Holy Angels Influence And Guard
And
The Holy Spirit Guides Into All Truth
And
Chides Us When We Seek To Act
Buck Wild And Foot Loose!

The Father God 
Is 
Father Of Us All
If
We Take Jesus Christ As Our Eternal Portion!
The Other Choice 
Is
To Be The Adversary Of The Light Of Life
And
- Being Like Satan -
Choose To Perish
When Ends The Mortal Strife!

I Beseech You, Therefore, Brethren ...

Trust The Creator
The Savior
The Redeemer
The Forever Friend!

Trust The Provider
The Sustainer
The Healer Who Helps
Fallen Men!

Ignore The Liar!
Do Not With Him Indulge In Converse!
Point Him To The Word Of Truth
And
Get Yourself Out Of
His Objectionable "Universe!"

Lift Up Your Head ...

Sing A Song Of Zion!
Pray A Prayer Of Faith!
Walk The Straight And Narrow Way
And
Refuse, Refuse ... Refuse
With Self, Sin And Satan
To Indulge In Games Play!

The Day Is Coming
And
Is Almost Here
When The Lord Of Life
The Son Of God
The Savior Of Mankind
Shall Breach The Atmosphere!

Let It Not Be That
You Shall Run To The Rocks
The Hills
In The Barren Spaces
To Seek To Not See Him Who
Will Put The Period
The Final ... End
To Wayward Man's Own-Way Races!


PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
Please Hear Our Prayer
And
Bless Us With Spiritual Ears
So That It Is Only Your Living Truth
That We Will With Acceptance Hear!

Please Make Us Anew!
Grant Unto The New Life!
Help To Walk Holy In Christ Jesus
And
Not Accept The Lie
Of
The Satanic Device!

We Are Young Children
Needing Your Guidance Each Day!
Please Help Us To Willingly Accept
Your Leading
So That For Our Sin
We Will Not Have To Pay!

The Days Are Getting Shorter!
Time Seems To Be Folding In On Itself!
Please, We Beseech You, Father
Help Us To Strive Valiantly
To Become The Godly Success!

Help Us To Mind Our Manners!
Help Us To Keep The Holy Faith!
Help Us To Bless Our Brethren
And, Please
For Our Heartfelt Confession
And
Repentance
Remove From Our Beings
Of Every Known Sin, The Trace!

We Love You
And
We Bless You!
We Trust You, Father, And Plead
For The Blessing Of Answered Prayer
For You Know Our Every Need!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Utter These Few Petitions!
Have Mercy, And Bless!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + United To The King!





Among Those Who Call Themselves
The People Of God
Are Cherish And True Humility
Humble Isda Way
And
Sin Doan Pay! 

They Are All Made Out Of Clay
Have The Breath Of Life
Believe The Word Of God
Desire The Sure Reward
And
Are Bold Adversaries Of Satan The Father Liar
The Known Adversary Of
Every Living Soul!
Heaven Is Their Heart's Goal!

From His Constant Harping
Underhanded Entreaties
Backhanded Compliments
Taunts
And
The Occasional ... Often
Searing Attack
They Look To Jesus Christ
And Not At Those Things Which Are Behind Their Backs!

They Experience A Whole Lotta Flack
But
To The Master
The Savior
The Forever Friend
They Are Umbilical-Cord Attached!

Withersoever He Goes
They Go
And
They Are Never Forsaken
Never Alone!

Did I Tell You That Their Father Is
Omnipotent Omniscient Omnipresent
And 
He Feels Everything, Too!?!

He Is Spirit
And 
He Is Life!
He Is Hope, Help 
And 
Salvation!
He Cries
And
He Cannot Lie!

These Remnant Few Have Chosen His Life ... Eternal
For Their Eternal Portion
And
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Adversary Of Souls
The Liar Bold
He Who Gives Unto Men
The Deceitful Bow
Has Sent Out Against Them
The Marked-For-Death Bulletin!

I'm Ashamed To Say It
But
Even Small Fry Have Taken To Standing 
In Front Of Their Homes
Tralaa-ing:

Bring 'e Out! 
Pull' e Out! 
Bus' 'e Tail!
He Ain't Good Enough Fuh Jail!




Sigh ...

Hatred Is Such A Bitter Emotion
That We Would Do Well To Understand 
Why The Master Said:

 



The Problem Is That
They Reside In The Realm Own Way, Every Day, In The World
And
Their Straight Talk
Straight Walk 
And
Inflexible Stance On Almighty God's Truth
Serve As A Bold Affront To The Side-Winders
Who Are Fawning Over The Fiend
- Bossman Base -
Who Hates, Hates And Humiliates
Anything
Son-Bright, Living-Light Shiny
Pure And Clean!

These Faithful Ones Shine Light In The Darkness!
Their Feet Lovingly Caress The Narrow Way
And
They Refuse To Sin
Because
They Personally Know Him Who
For All Sin Pays
And
They Are Vociferously, Patiently, Enduringly
Looking And Longing For The Great Day!

They Do Not Countenance
Own-Sin Self-Pay
And
They Don't Follow Fashion
Nor Are They Wage-Slaves
To Fallen Man's Useless Rounds Of
Ceremonies And Can't-Save-The-Soul Traditions!

They Are Up-Stream Swimmers
In The Down-Stream Lake
And
That Is The Closest That They'll Ever Come
To The Fire And Brimstone Lake!
They Don't Treat With The God-Fake
Who Wants Them
The True And Living God To Forsake!

When Jesus Christ 
Is 
Your Portion
The World Can Keep Its Cheap Songs
And
Soon-Rusty Crowns!
We May Suffer At Satan's Base Frown
But
Thank God For Christ Jesus
The Day Of Redemption 
Is 
Coming ... Heralded
By The Arch-Angel's Loud Trumpet Sound!

The Question ...

On Which Side Of Eternity
I Plainly Ask You, Brethren
Will You Be Ultimately Found!?! 

I Pray That You Do Not Permit
Any Created Being Bold
To Steal Your Crown Of
Imperishable Gold!
Please, I Beseech You
Stay In The Blessed Shepherd's
Safe Sheep Fold!

If You Are Thirsty ... Jesus!
If You Are Hungry ... Jesus!
If You Feel Weak ... Jesus!
If You Lack Knowledge ... Jesus!
If You Are Blind ... Jesus!
If You Are Deaf ... Jesus
If You Really Want To Know The Time ... Jesus!
Whatever The Manner Of The Matter To You
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
The Lord Christ
The Savior Of Every Man
The Redeemer Of Those
Who On Almighty God's Truth
** Choose **
Faithfully To Stand
Will Succor You: He Is The Son Of God
The Returning Son Of Man!
Boldly Take His Outstretched Hand!
He Is Leading The Willing
To The Heavenly Land!
