Poem:The Light House
There once was a world that was engulfed in darkness,
by heavy clouds of tyranny, and social oppression.
Across a great ocean, in a new discovered land,
some dreamers share a vision , of a land removed from the clouds of darkness.
So they labored together , to build a light house,who's light of liberty and justice ,
would shine freely on every one in the land.
That every one who receives the light, will have freedom to chart their own course of their destiny.
The dreamers constructed their light house using bricks made of the substance of:
Fear of God, love of one's neighbor, high morals, integrity, sacrifice, perseverance,
courage, hard work.
People from far away lands, boarded vessels of air and sea, to escape their countries that are enslaved by the darkness, to start a new life in the land of light, and freedom.
Through out the life of the light house, many storm have rage against it's structure,
yet it's light of hope never went out.
As the light house aged, it's bricks became brittle, So it's keepers began to replace the original bricks with new one, that made of the substance of: Apathy toward God and His Word,envy, self indulgent, immorality, slothfulness.
When the storms beat against the reconstructed light house,
the new bricks crumbled,and the structure was reduced to rubble,
and the light of liberty and justice went out.
The clouds of tyranny and social oppression, returned and engulfed the world.

Poem : We Come To Celebrate Our Savior
We come to this table,
to celebrate, God's grace , and mercy !
He Shed His blood ,
for sinners, like you, and me.
We eat this bread,
to commemorate, Jesus' body was broken,
to brake our chains of sin,
that bind us, to the gates of Hell!
We come to this table,
to celebrate, God's grace , and mercy !
He shed His blood,
fore sinners, like you, and me.
We drink this wine,
to commemorate, by Jesus' blood,
we are cleansed, and healed,
from all unrighteousness!
We come to this table,
to celebrate, God's truth, and faithfulness,
He has shown to sinners, like you, and me !
We come to celebrate, our Savior !

Poem : Question Your Faith
Question your faith,
There is no sin, in investigating your believes, about God,
find out if you are following the truth,
or is someone trying to scam you.
Question your faith,
God, love you unconditionally !
He doesn't desire blind followers.
He came down from His throne room in Heaven,
to teach, and live, the way of eternal life,
among man, through His Son Jesus!
Question your faith,
God, rewards those who seek to know Him,
in Spirit, and Truth!

Poem: Touching the Heart
See the need ,
meet the need ,
Let the world know ,
Jesus loves them so !
Words are cheap ,
actions of love ,
touch the heart deep .
So keep your eyes peeled ,
fore a chance to show them ,
Jesus is more then a myth ,
His presence is real !
See the need ,
meet the need ,
let the world know ,
Jesus loves them so !

Poem :Salvation In A Storm
Lighting flashes brightly across the black satin sky.
The greenish gray clouds with their erie glow, race across the sky like winged
giants, who howl their threats to drawn me with their bucket of rain.
The ocean is like a sadistic juggler, with it's mountainous size waves,
it throws me up into the air, then rolls me head over heels underneath it's self.
When it grows board of tormenting me, it threatens to dash me against the rocks.
I struggle to keep my head above water, to expel water out of my lungs, and to
gasp my next breath of life.
I bob up and down in the ocean like a Bobber on the end of a fisherman's pole,
Who has a fish tugging on his line, the ocean tugs at me, trying to pull me under.
In my helplessness I cry out for help, but my pleas fall on deaf ears of my family
and friends, for they do not come out to me in boats or throw me a life raft, to rescue
me. They stand on the shore motionlessly, like statues in a Greek garden.
My body becomes zapped of energy, like the ocean had stuck a straw into me, and
sucked all of my energy out of my body.
My body becomes numb and motionless as if it turned to stone. At any moment I
fear I will sink to the bottom of the ocean, like a ship's anchor.
Then a voice whispers to me, but in my mind the voice echoes through me like a
sound made in an empty hall way.
It says to me, " Come to Me , you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give
you rest ."
When I recognized who is whispering to me, I cry out to God to rescue me.
Suddenly right before my weary eye, out of the dark stormy sea arose a platform in
the shape of a cross, it was made of wood and had a pure gold surface, it had
steps on for sides of it.
By faith I ascended the steps, and got down on my bended knee, and gave thanks
to God for providing salvation in a storm.
As if He acknowledged my prayer, a blinding light broke through the dark satin sky.
The clouds who were like winged giants, their howling threats were silenced.
The sadistic juggler, the ocean, became a tamed gentleman
The platform in shape of the cross transported me safely to the shore of stability.
This is what it's like to tread water in a trial in my life.

Poem : It's Time To Face The Devil
It's time
It's time
It's time to face the Devil
No more running
No more hiding
It's time to fight the Devil
Not in the strength of the flesh
It's time to fight in the power of the Holy Spirit
No more running
No more hiding
It's time to face the Devil
We're not going to fight with fists
We're going to fight with a double edge sword
With the Word that spoke all things into being
It's time
It's time
It's time to face the Devil
No more running
No more hiding

Poem : Love Turns Enemies Into Friends
Lord
Pierce the darkness that my enemy brings to overshadow my dreams
With the light of Your promises
Lord
Help me to tear down the curtains of sin
that prevent my enemy from seeing Your light shining through my life
Lord
Flood my heart with love toward my enemy
To flush out the revenge that is trying to be my friend
Lord
Help me to remember I once was lost in my sin
Lost
Help me remember I once was your enemy
Lord
Help me to remember it was your love that delivered me from death to eternal life
It was your love that changed an enemy of God
into a friend of God
Lord
I want this heart of mine
to turn enemies into friends
Lord
I want this heart of mine
to open up the door to tell them about The One
Who can deliver them from death and to give them eternal life

Wake up
Wake up
You have been sleeping in the dark too long
Wake up

Get out of bed and open up your spiritual drapes
Let the light of Christ flood your soul

It's the dawn of a new day
Under His blood old things have passed away
Wake up
Wake up
It's time to live the life God has planned fore you !

Poem : I am Beating My Drum On The Street
I am back on the street
I am not dancing to the world's beat
I am not selling sex and drugs
I am advertising God's love and mercy
Giving it away to anyone who will receive it
I am back on the streets
I am not dancing to the world's beat
I am following the path that so many faithful servants have trotted down before
I am following the path Jesus has laid
Calling all to repentance
Calling all to new life
Calling all the needy
to have their burdens relieved
I am not selling sex and drugs
I am not trying to con you out of your money
I am freely giving God's love and mercy
to whoever will receive
I am beating my drum
fore all who are weary and tired of dancing to the world's drum
I am beating my drum
fore all who desire to learn how to dance to the heart beat of God
I am back on the street
I am beating my drum
Because freely I received so freely i give

Poem : I Am Looking Toward The Day
I am looking toward the day ,
I will no longer feel alone .
Fore the curtain of sin , will no longer separate my presence from Your Holy throne.
I am looking toward the day ,
I will be taken from the courtroom called my mortal life.
I will be taken from the presence of the prosecutor,
Who spent his time condemning me to the second death .
I am looking toward the day ,
When my memories of dark and painful day that tried my faith,
will be washed away .
When my hart will overflow with a fountain of joy ,
When I see my Savior face to face !
I am looking toward the day ,
When You will take me home !

Poem : Eastern Star
Oh Eastern Star, that shines so bright in the dark night .
You were the guiding light , that lead the shepherds to the new born Child Of
Hope .
Who one day will wash our crimson stained lives whiter then snow !
Oh Eastern Star, that shined so bright in that dark night .
Were you a guardian angel, who kept watch over the helpless mother and
Child ?
Oh Eastern Star , that shine so bright on that first Christmas night .
Were you God's crier,
who proclaimed the arrival of His gift of deliverance to creation
From the curse of sin ?
Oh Eastern Star, that shined so bright in that dark night .
I am thinking of you tonight ,
While I gaze upon this cold starry night !
My hart is warmed by the Holy Spirit ,
as I give thanks and praise, to God' fore sending us His Son !

Poem : I Am A Child Of God
I am a child of God,
By God's mercy and grace,
Through His Son Jesus,
Who is The Sacrificial Lamb.
The one that hung on the cross in our place,
To buy back the human race,
from The Master of sin and slaver !
I am a child of God,
When my days are over in this earthly place,
My name shall not be erased from The Book Of Life.
Fore I have not received eternal life by my good deeds,
but by faith in Jesus The Christ !

Poem : How Does Your Garden Grow ?
A christian life is like fertile field,
that is purchased with a costly price by The Master,
Who put the field under our stewardship while He is away.
Now there are two kinds of seed,
that will take root in the fertile soil.
One is The Word of God,
The other is the desires of the flesh.
When The Word seed is nurtured,
It will grow and produce spiritual fruit and abundant life.
When the desires of the flesh seed is nurtured,
It will grow to produce false satisfaction and death.
So when The Master returns,
Will He be pleased with what you have cultivated in His field ?
Remember what you sow is what you will reap !

Poem : Is It A Twist Of Fate Or The Hand Of God ?
When the floodgates of opportunity and prosperity are open fore you
Is this a twist of fate or God's hand of provision ?
When a stranger helps you get out of a ditch
Is this a twist of fate or God's hand of mercy ?
Jesus's death on the cross
Was this a twist of faith or God's ultimate demonstration of His love toward sinful
man ?
When a christian travels along the straight and narrow road of faith
Is this a twist of fate or an expression of love and devotional service to God ?

Poem : Faith Is A Growing Experience
Faith is a growing experience
Can't you feel the pain ?
Faith grows when God causes our self reliance to collapse
under the weight of a stormy trial
Faith grows when all we can do to survive
Is to place our self into the arms of God to carry us through
Faith is a growing experience
Thank You Lord fore the growing pains

Poem : The Way Home
I have journeyed to the crossroads of life
Where light meets darkness
To seek you out of love
To call you back home
I didn't come to preach about your sin
You know wrong and right
I came to help you find your way back home
You use to walk the road of light
Now you try to flee from The Lord's sight
You took a flight down the dark road
To fulfill your dreams of silver and gold
Now you can't find your way back home
You have lost your spiritual sight
You have found yourself wandering around in circles
Lost in the emptiness and darkness of the world
I didn't come to preach about your sin
You know wrong and right
I came to help you find your way back home
I came to restore your spiritual sight
Jesus stands at the crossroads of live
Where light meets darkness
To seek you out of love
To help you find your way back home

Poem : Slow Down You're Moving Too Fast
It's the break of morning
and you are racing around to get ready to enter the day
but without taking the time to seek the Lord's face
Slow down
You"re moving too fast
Take the time to pray
It's noon
As you speed along your way
Without making a pit stop to fuel up on God's Word
No wonder your problems are piling up so soon
Slow down
You're moving too fast
Seek God's help before you loose control
You thought you could zoom through the obstacles of the day
Without receiving a scratch
Until you spun out of control and smashed right into that unmoving wall
You watched all your expectation for the day burn in the wreck
that could have been avoided
If you slowed down and took the time to seek God's face through out the day

Poem : Special Friend
You Know this world can be harsh and Cold
Like a winter waste land
Sometimes our soul can become frostbitten
By the trials we tread through
But being held in the warm loving arms of a special friend
can heal a weather beaten soul
Sometimes we walk off the straight and narrow path
We get lost in the dark wilderness of sin
It is a special friend who comes searching for us
Holding up the word of true like a lantern
So we can see our way out of the darkness
and back to the road of safty
A special friend is a soul mate
When they see us beaten down
It fills their heart with sorrow and they lift us up in prayer
When they see us being blessed
It fills their heart with happiness and they give thanks to God
For a special friend is faithful to stay with us
As we travel through the winter barren land
and through the valley of propriety
Everyone needs a special friend
Will you be my special friend ?

Poem : Do We Know You ?
We tell every one we know You
Do our actions show we spend much time with You ?
We tell every one we love you
When You came to our door
did we feed or clothe You ?
Have we push You out of our place
and slammed the door in Your face ?
We tell every one we want to serve You
Do we proclaim Your good news to the unsaved ?
Do we hide in shame
as a brother is persecuted for preaching in Your name ?
Do we really know you
or are we playing a foolish game ?
We tell every one we are willing to lay our lives down for you
When will we live our lives in obedience to You?
Do we really know you
or are we playing a foolish game ?
Lord
Help us to live for you

Poem : I Give You My All
I was traveling down the dark and lonely halls in my life
With the glimpse of Paradise flickering far in front of me
I couldn't make my way there
until You carried me over the wall of the great fall of man
I give You my all
Because You paid the price that was on my soul
By the sacrifice You made on Calvary's cross
You set me free
To eat from the tree of eternal life
The spirit of this world
showed me that i was empty and weak
You built me up
In Your power of Your Word
You filled me up with You meek Spirit
You put a calling on my life
To run to win
To fight the good fight
To be pleasing in Your sight
I give You my all
until the day i walk in Paradise
and see Your face in the promised place
I give You my all

Poem : Don't Gamble With The Devil
The Devil gave you a call
to invite you to a card game
He said, If you win
I will give you fortune and fame
If you loose
I will take all you have in you name
You told your concerned friends
You have mastered all card games
So you accepted the Devil's invitation to His card game
Don't gamble with the Devil
You have so much to loose
Lady luck seemed to be on your side
for the cards seemed to be dealt in your favor
As the game played on
It seemed like the Devil was feeding His card right into your hand
Don't gamble with the Devil
You have so much to loose
The game was coming to a close
A smile on your face arose
Fore the whole game seemed to be played in your favor
The strange thing you noticed
The Devil didn't show any remorse
of loosing the game in his behavior
Don't gamble with the Devil
You have so much to loose
When you both thew down your cards
Your jaw dropped down to your knees
For what did your eyes see ?
The Devil had the winning hand
A smile arose on his face
As he said
You thought you were going to beat the Devil
at his own game ?
You poor fool
You were only being deceived
Now pay me
what you owe me
Give me your soul

Poem: When Fog Sets Down
Some times fog set down on the path we travel
We get confused which way is the right road to travel
Because we aren't sure if there is a black or white answer to our direction
So we stumble and we fall
as we try to find our own way through the fog
So we in our panic
send up a prayer toward heaven
Like a smoke signal, trying to help the Lord to find us in the fog
But God reminds us
there is no place that can hide us from His eyes
So He whispers gently in our ear
Peace be still
open your ears and eye to Me
I will guide you back to safety
Some times fog sets down on the path we travel
We get confused which way is the right way to travel
In our own panic
we try to find our own way out of the fog
So we stumble and we fall

Poem : The Call
Jesus poured out His Life
To save the lost
How can we ever repay the cost ?
God gave His children a call
To proclaim the good news to all
He gave us only one life
to answer the call

To lead the lost
to salvation through the Lamb
Who hung on the rugged cross
God gave us only one life to live
Will you answer the call

Poem :Divided Hearts
We come to this place to unite through God's grace
Yet we have set our selves far apart
By the differences we have locked up in our hearts
We come to seek God's face
But His spirit is not presence in this place
Brotherly love seem to be scarce
The spirit of judgment is flowing through the air
How can we seek God's face ?
How can we worship Him
when there is strife roaming in this place ?
Come leave your differences at the door
Practice the act of judgment no more
Come let us seek fellowship
through our common ground
Come let us unite through God's grace
So we can seek God's face
so we can worship God in this place

Poem : The Time We Have Together Is Winding Down
The freedom we once knew is fading out
The time we have together is winding down
I better make my every word and action count
If there is only one thing I can do for you
I will witness to you
If there is only one thing I can tell you
Jesus sacrificed His life to save you
If there is only one thing I can show you
I will show you the love of Christ
The freedom we once knew is fading out
The time we have together is winding down
for the goodness of humanity is burning out
The sands of the hourglass to judgment are running out
There only one thing I want you to receive
abundant life through faith in Christ
There is only one place I want you to spend eternity
I want to see you in heaven
There is only one thing I can do for you
I will pray for you

Poem : The Edge Of Night
We are living in the days on the edge of night
You can see the Darkness swallowing up the light
as the world of man accepts wrong for right
Time is short
and it is foolish to waste it
By debating with skeptics
that faith in God is considered intellectually bright
We are living in the days on the edge of night
The Enemy's delusion is thick
So walk by faith and not by sight
We are living in the days on the edge of night
Don't lay around sun bathing in the light
We must pick up the banner of Christ
and work as long as there is light

Poem : The Giant Supper Market
Religion is like a giant supper market
It's shelves are stocked with every brand of god
that the mind can think up
You will hear most people say
It's foolish to put your faith in only one brand
They will advise you not to waste your time
studying the labels on the back of every god
For there are too many of them to compare
just choose the one that looks like it will satisfy your desires
and relax your conscience
For life is short
We all must devote our time to more important things in life
such as work and play
Instead of getting lost at the giant supper market
In the maze of aisle that are a mile high
and stretch for miles in length
Today i saw an article in The Religious Consumer's Report magazine
It read, Shoppers who took the time to compare the labels
and put their faith in the Jesus brand
Were rushed through the express checkout counter
and entered Heaven
Shoppers who did not spend time comparing labels
and put their faith in other gods
Found themselves stunned
as they waited in very long lines to go through the check out counter
and enter The Lake Of Fire

I desire to fellowship with you every day
This is why I laid my live down for you

Poem : Pardoned Not Paroled
You were born in to sin
You were living in prison
You were waiting to face the judgment
There came a visitor to your cell
Who said,He paid your dept
to set you free from burning in Hell
You couldn't believe what you heard
until He stepped into the light
You saw a sight that caused a stir in your soul
He wore a bloody crown of thorns on His head
and nail prints in His hands and feet
He had the keys to your cell dangling from His right hand
You fell to your bed,you bowed your head
and believed in what He had said
He opened up the door to your cell and set you free
You heard Him say, " Go your way and sin no more
For you have been pardoned not paroled"

Poem : Testing Times
Testing times
Some trials come into our lives like a wind that rustles leaves in a tree
Some trials come into our lives like a hurricane that uproots trees
Testing times
Like a spy who reveals to the enemy the strengths or weaknesses of the walls
of a fortress
So does the way we handle the trials in our lives
reveal to The Prince of this world whether the walls of our faith are strong or are
weak
Testing times
Trials are like an armed bandit
Who robs the wicked man of years of his life
But to the righteous man they are a school master
of wisdom and a builder of faith
Trials test the substance that love between two people is made of
like fire burning off the impurities in a piece of gold

Poem : The Two Foundations In Life
There are two kind of hearts in this world
One is soft like clay
it lends itself to be molded by the hand of God
One is hard like rock
it lends itself to be molded by the hand of the world
There are two kinds of faith in this world
Some put their faith in mental and physical strengths
That come from with in themselves
Some put their faith in the wisdom and power
That comes from God above
There are two kinds of foundations that lives are built upon
Some are built upon a foundation of faith love , hope
Some are built upon a foundation of selfishness, pride and greed
There will come many great storms throughout life
they will test the foundations we have built upon
Some will stand strong and unmovable
like a sea wall holding back the ocean
some will be weak and be swept away
Like a sand castle is washed away by the tide of the sea
