With Sadness He Watches

In a world filled with decaying morals
It seems some people can't see the light
Somehow they don't know or even care
That they will have to face God's might

Destroying both Sodom and Gomorrah
For both cities were filled with much sin
If He was looking for sinful cities today
I just don't know where He would begin

Corruption is seen in all the Governments
Seems as though everything is for sale
Greed fuels the minds of most all leaders
Not realizing their country will surely fail

Without God these countries will crumble
For they fail to know His will and His way
With sadness He watches as it happens
Knowing He must destroy it all some day

He Saw The Light

With a headache he would wake up
He would wonder where he had been
He remembered being at that tavern
Drinking orange juice spiked with gin

Gin and that devil rum he had drunk
Made his brain go into a fuzzy sleep
He had a job interview next morning
It was an interview he would not keep

No place to call home this cold night
As he stumbled down the dark street
He saw a small church come into view
It was cold and wet as it began to sleet

He fumbled with that heavy doorknob
It opened and what a sight he did see
Jesus was standing there at that altar
He said my son come over here to me

With your wretched life I am not pleased
Believe, that I will take your sins away
Listen and follow my teachings with faith
A home in Heaven shall be yours one day

Today he is the janitor of that little church
His pay there is very little that we all know
Many rewards will be for this humble man
On that day to God's Kingdom he does go

It's Spring

As the Crocus emerges from the cold ground
We know that Spring is soon to be on its way
Gone will be the harshness of the Wintertime
As we see the Sun getting warmer each day

Many flowers will show off their Spring beauty
Blooms show on trees and fruit they will bear
Lace like white snowflakes will be the petals
That set on the Apple trees and the lovely Pear

Pink will bloom on the Peach trees a lovely site
Tulips of all different colors and of many shades
Will grace both the hills and deep in the valleys
Grass will turn deep green on all of the blades

Isn't it wonderful God has made all the seasons
Each to be so very much different from the rest
If I had my choice of the four different seasons
I know I would love Springtime season the best

I Go In

As I walk in my garden of love
He is always there by my side
Beautiful are all of the flowers
I show them to Him with pride

Smiling He nods his approval
Joy them floods my inner soul
In His eyes I can see the love
He gives so tenderly to us all

Precious is this time with Him
I want to see Him night and day
When I go to His Heaven above
It will be my home never to stray

Praise be to our wonderful God
He gave His Son to erase our sin
When I end my journey on Earth
With Heavens gate open, I go in

Evening Prayers

As the shadows linger we sit down at dinnertime
Bow our heads in a blessing to God for this food
We thank Him for all He has given to us this day
His presence at our table brings on a happy mood

With all the work for the men finished for this day
A passage from the Holy Bible father would read
He then would tell us of a land beyond the river
Where God would provide us with our every need

Telling us if we believed and honored our Savior
Making each day time in which we would pray
That a place for us He has made up in Heaven
This place where we will live in eternity one day

He told us of those mansions up there in Glory
In this beautiful land where no one will ever die
I know he is waiting with my dear loving mother
Soon to see all their children there up in the sky

That Great Book

Each snowflake is guided to the ground
Tide will gives or take some of the sand
Sun can shine or it can be cloudy today
This will all be done by God's holy hand

In His great book everything is in there
Even the hair on you head is recorded
All the times and tides there is shown
Not a single thing will be left unreported

Will your rewards be in that great book
Remember He knows everything done
Will He say well done my faithful servant
Show you that your crown has been won

Only you will have to answer to that book
Makes no difference what others will do
When your page is open and then read
Everything recorded there is about you
