WORDS OF GLORY

Sang to the tune of "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi

Woke up this morning

Raised my weary head

A knapsack for my pillow

A park bench for my bed

There’s a police man yelling at me

names running through my head

I’m a man on a mission

Preaching out salvation

With my Bible in my hand

I was born into this word with a mission and a plan

Preaching out the good word across this barren land

I know the task will not be easy but with the lord I’ll take my stand

Preaching about Jesus and the devil, about Cain and Able, and about the promise land

I’m preaching out your words of glory

Saving lives with the truth

I’m preaching out your words of glory

You sent your son to die for me so now I give my life to you

As I walk across the world and see the soulless sin of men

I pray the lord’s forgiveness will be placed upon their heads

I pray for my own forgiveness for I to am a sinful man

For I’ve seen God’s glory that he sent to me to help me change my ways

I’m preaching out your words of glory

Saving lives with the truth

I’m preaching out your words of glory

You sent your son to die for me, so now I give my life to you

As I lie down at night

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

I pray forgiveness for everyone that I meet

Lord I have to ask a favor and I hope you understand

For I’ve lived life to the fullest as a boy and I want to die like a man

Starring down the devil let me make my stand

So he can be shot down

with your words of glory

saving lives with the truth

I’m preaching out your words of glory

You sent your son to die for me

So now I give my life to you 

Surrender

I will never surrender

Life can beat me

Life can tear me apart

I will not give up

I will not give in

My spirit

My soul

Will not allow such injustice

Free

Born to be

Free as the

Wind goes by

Don't Pitty Me

Don't pity me

I can see it in your eyes

Yes I have gone through hardships

But those hardships

Have only made me stronger

Daily Struggles

Lord I've grown so weary since

my life got out of hand

These trials and tribulations are

just more than I can stand

How much longer must I wait

for the life I choose to live

And how long must I pay you back

for all the things I've did

Must I suffer through this life

just a victim of the game

Most times it seems I'll leave this world

with nothing but the pain

Although I struggle constantly

with demons I can't shake

I pray each night before I sleep

that tomorrow I will not wake

Lord I hope you hear my plea

and grant my final wish

Whatever life is after death

can't be as bad as this

I've done my best to face them all

and take it like a man

But now I've grown too weary since

my life got out of hand

Peace

Peace

Give it a chance

Let it bloom in our hearts

Like a rose

Peace

Let's try it

Stop the fighting

Stop the hate

Live in peace

Save the human race

Peace

Lasting peace

Joyful peace

It could happen

We could make it work

Peace

All the nations

All the people

In friendship

In joy

In peace

Peace

Morning

The last defence of night trying to hold off the advancing dawn

Cross

Christ

Redeemed

Our

Souls for

Salvation

Christ paid the price

Redeeming

Our

Souls from

Sin and strife

Baseball ( Holy Teaching )

Talking about Jesus to someone who dose not know Christ, is like playing baseball.  When they ask that first question the ball has been pitched and is headed your way.  To many people try swinging for the bleachers.  This is not a good tactic when speaking with those with a lot of questions.  Instead of swinging for the bleachers, try taking it one base at a time.  Home plate introduce the “cast of characters”.  Let them ask questions.  First base Review what was learned at home plate, the basics, maybe the creation, the ten commandments, a few Psalms, and the basic teachings of Christ.  This should be a good start, again let them ask questions.  Second base Review what was learned at first base, more in depth with the teachings of Christ, teachings from the prophets, more psalms and proverbs, answer any questions so far.    Third base review all that has been learned so far, answer any additional questions, prepare to wrap it up and bring them back home.

Why should they ask questions and not just listen?  By asking questions you can fill in any “blanks” that may have come up. As much as you are to lead the conversation, their questions help direct the teaching, so that nothing gets missed.  If they ask a question you can’t answer, do not send them off to find the question themselves, go with them to find that answer.  Remember Jesus is your guide in the journey.  Likewise you are their guide through the journey.

Trails In The Field

The trails in the field

They are covered in tire tracks

Where I’ve rode my ATV

 Out to check the cows

or play a little game

Called “Keep The Cattle On The Run”

Moving cows can be a job you know

Even when you have one or two

Who just don’t want to go

God ( Holy Teaching)

Let us first understand that God is a physician and the suffering is a medicine for salvatoin, not a punishment for damnation.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This life is full of sorrow and strife.  As Christians though, we can take joy in suffering.  When we accept Christ as our savior, and as we journey the path of life with God.  Non-believers will test us, laugh at us, spread lies about us, among other things.  As Christ had suffered so we to shall suffer.  However do not let this get you down, or make you turn and run.  Stand strong, have faith, and all the slings of the world will seam like nothing more than a fart in the wind.  No one heard it and no one cares.

Light ( Bible Study )

John 8:12

 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We need to follow Jesus's Light out of the darkness of this world, and into the Glory of his way

Heartache

I pour out my heart

I pour out my soul

You treat me like dirt

Now it is taking it's toll

I thought we belonged

I know now I was wrong

To trust my heart

just to have it torn apart

You left me

Blindsided with the pain

You left me

Calling me many names

Fall

Leaves crunch beneath my feet as I walk in the woods

Lily

The Lily is a flower of the Spring

Spring is the season of regrowth

The Earth reviving after

It's long winter nap

The Lily is a flower of the spring

Leaves

Leaves blowing in the wind twriling and twisting upward they fly

Floating upon the breaze like magic shifting through the air

Tumbing back to Earth for a short rest then off they fly once more

River

The

River

Flows with a

Mighty current

Washing away all

That is impure and dirt

Fish swimming in the river

Flowing toward the waterfall which

Tumbels from it's great hieght to the rocks

Far below creating a mighty mist

Stars

Stars in the night sky

Shine so high above the Earth

So lovely they are

Rainbow

Rainbow in the sky

Pretty colors in an arch

Rainbow in the sky

Paradise

I followed the rainbow to the end of my days

 Following the spectrum in it’s infinite ways

The brightness before  my eyes always looking for paradise

 Now I am weak dying in my bed with my last breath let it be said

 I searched for paradise all my life and failed to see it was right there before me

Paradise is not a land to search for, however paradise depends on what we do with the land we have

Crazy Man

There was a crazy old man who lived on a hill

His laughter alone would give anyone chills

He'd do strange things

He'd speak ing strange ways

Or he'd sit perfectly still

Peace

Peace to the world

Join in brotherhood and friendship

Stop the hurt

Stop the hate

You aren't getting nowhere

You're just digging your own graves

Peace to the world

True

Lasting

Peace

The nations of the world

Could let it happen

Peace to the world

Rejoice

In the human race

Rejoice

With each other

Rejoice

And truly be free

I think we're alone now

I think we're alone now

To play our dirty games

To strip Naked

To enjoy each other

In every way

A Rebellious Son (Bible Study )

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them,   then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives,   and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’   Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Actions and Words ( Holy Teachings )

It is one thing to tell people

About God's love and mercy

It is however much better to show them

For many people

Our actions are the only truth of God

They know 

I've said this before

As Christians we have the Gospels of

Matthew

Mark

Luke

And John

For non-Christians

They have the gospel according to us

And if are words and actions say two different things

We do not help the gospel

But instead hurt it.
