On My Knees

When so many people are starving
While I still eat as much as I please
I am ashamed to say to you Jesus
I spend no time praising you on my knees

Oh I know I should be thankful
That is what the Bible decrees
But I am just too busy and proud Lord
I spend no time praising you on my knees

I see crippled and lame even blind men
Uneducated and even those with degrees
Bend down to you without shame Lord
I spend no time praising you on my knees

I have heard that you will make your return Lord
That in time all evil before you sure flees
It has been said in your word that even I Lord
Will spend eternity praising you on my knees

Philipians 2:10-11  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Like Your Father

If you want to look just like your Father
Almost exactly as if you were cloned
You must learn how to forgive others
This aspect of His nature to own

You may never be able to perform miracles
Heal the sick, bring sight, death postpone
But seek Him to help you forgive others
This aspect of His nature to own

For you will never see heaven in your strength
The Holy Spirit does this work alone
Ask to become perfect like your Father
This aspect of His nature to own

Matthew 5:48 Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect

You Sinned/My Gift

You sinned so very greatly
I had to turn my face
I could not call you mine
You were truly a disgrace

You asked for my forgiveness
Yet you had no gift to give
So let me put it plainly
I should not have let you live

But then I did consider
That I left you free to choose
And could I ever blame you
If your freedom you abused

So I decided I would offer
A gift from you from me myself
After all the gifts you’d give me
Come right off of my own shelf

Nothing is really worthy
Nothing really will suffice
So I had to be the gift
I had to come as Christ

I was My own apology
I only give the best
And if you want forgiveness
You’ll come to Me and rest

Accept my own apology
The one I give to Me
Just say I thank you Lord
And then my child, you’re free

Ro 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh

Ro 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Seems Odd

It may sound rather funny
It may seem kind of odd
But I only mention Jesus
When I need something from God

I can get along alright
With some problems now and then
But I find it pretty normal
To rarely mention Him

God only serves a purpose
To fulfill my personal needs
So I really have no interest
In doing Christian deeds

Give me what I want God
Give it to me now I pray
And let me find my comfort
In what I want today

If there is a thing called heaven
And if indeed there is a hell
Let me do my own bidding
Let others that story tell

I believe that Jesus loves me
At least that’s what the Bible says
For now that’s no bad answer
And it will have to serve as praise

Isa 29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Feed The Dead

It really is quite stupid
I can’t get it through my head
They are not even hungry
So why try to feed the dead

They show no signs of life
They are not asking to be fed
But I spread the table before them
And keep trying to feed the dead

Rigor mortis has set in
Blood is black that once was red
Bloated bellies, rotting corpses
What can I expect, they’re dead

So I guess I should accept one day
The things I previously have said
Don’t expect requests for seconds
When you are trying to feed the dead

1Pe 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached  also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

An Audience of One

You should play to an audience of one
Have only God to impress
And if you hear His applause
You’ll know you’ve done your best

The world may laugh or ignore you
And tell you your best just won’t do
But when God speaks His word is final
When He smiles, the contest is through

Play for God’s approval and joy
Make Him laugh, He likes to grin
Only He can determine the winners
Give Him your best, that’s how you win

Mt 6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.

Joh 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Hollowed Holiness

You have made My holiness hollow
You love ritual more than you love Me
Your faith has become cold and shallow
That is not how I meant it to be

The poor feel they cannot approach
Out of touch, far away, just too clean
Your religion denies rat and roach
When in fact that’s where I have been

I was born in a stable not a palace
There was manure, bed bugs and fleas
My blood in a cup, not a chalice
You have done with my name as you please

You glory in pomp and parade
You dress well, bejeweled, full of shine
My garments were just common grade
I was as human as I was divine

But you have made Me so free of dirt
And you claim that brings glory to Me
When it is I who took on the unholy
So I can set the unholy free

When you dress for praise and for worship
When you stand to adore kneel to pray
Remember I was stripped naked and beaten
Like common folk you see every day

Don’t continue to make my holiness hollow
Holiness is what I always will be
Understand this, then you can follow
I became human so you could touch me

2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Isa 1:14 Your new moons and our appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

Mt 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

Heaven and Socks

When I get to heaven
All my socks will have matches
All the lost dogs will be found
My CD’s or records won’t have scratches

My high school suits will still fit
I will still have all of my hair
I will have aced all of my finals
And all my old friends will be there

Oh if heaven had all of this wonder
If I could indeed find all my lost stuff
If Jesus ain’t  there you can have it
Without Him, it’s never enough

Your Lover

He is as intimate and warm
As the vapor from each breath
And as He pulls me closer to Him
I feel comfort from His chest

For my lover knows my weakness
He knows my desires too
He whispers in my ear
‘I want to pleasure you’

I know just where you’re hurting
I have not come here to tease
I know your secret desires
I am here to give joy and please

But at first you must surrender
At first you must let go
Accept that my love is tender
Then true pleasure you will know

This surrender it will cost you
Your free will is lost in mine
You must lose all other lovers
To enjoy this love divine

Lose all those hard habits
Lose all you claim as rights
Lose all of those ‘must haves’
I’ll show you how to spend your nights

For when I’m your only lover
I won’t come close if others are there
I am jealous and yes vengeful
Now draw closer so we can share

De 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

Jer 3:1 but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD

I Like to Watch

I like to watch are the words that ‘she said’
Then she quickly got back into bed
Turned on the T.V.
Then said ‘let’s see’
If it is as good as I’ve read

Is it evil or only for fun
Can’t turn it off once it’s begun
After all we have paid
We will watch the movie as played
Besides it will make us better as one

So goes the thinking today
Go along with whatever they play
After all who can gets hurt
If with evil we flirt
And God forgives so we do as we may

Is it sinful to embrace such warm pleasures
If I do so within tiny, small measures
After all, it’s in private
So should I deprive it
It is one of life’s sweetest treasures

But God uses a standard that’s different
So such value I cannot defend it
Holiness is His aim
And if I am called by His name
I will do nothing that even seems to offend it

Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

1Th 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
