Not Easy
.
It is not easy
To distinguish between good and evil ~
We must keep Jesus in our view,
His beacon of light in our sight,
Remember He is the One to lead the way
And with Him we cannot stray.

In case you didn’t know
.
We are at WAR
In the fight for our very souls ~
Don’t you see our apathy
While evil destroys the world.
.
Jesus shed his blood for us,
Stands with us through thick and thin,
His love is our salvation,
The least we can do is honour Him,
Spread His word to save the world ~
.
Jesus lights the way,
Decoys are but evil’s ploy,
Tricks to lure us from the straight and narrow,
Silver and gold are bogus treasure.
.
But does man’s greed let him take heed,
Allow him to act before it is too late,
Or will he blindly forget
That the wages of sin is death?

Army of the Lord
.
Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the lord,
He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
of His terrible swift sword,
His truth is marching on
Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah
Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on
Is our life on earth a proving ground
For the fight between good and evil
We cannot doubt that God will win
Because all else depends on Him:
He is the Creator of the universe.
But is mankind ready, willing and able
To take a stand, seemingly against all odds,
To join His army and defeat the evil
Dwelling and swelling in its task
To take control of mankind’s heart.

Beware
.
Beware of evil, be aware
Hold yourself apart
Learn to follow your heart
Evil comes in many guises
Various dis-guises to tempt
Holds you in contempt
And you are not exempt
Only our Father has the strength
And the power to protect you
to an infinite extent

Sweet Dreams
Babies’ breath, talcum powder,
Eiderdown, a fluffy cloud,
Floats on high in a clear blue sky.
Innocence and purity
Should grow into maturity,
But, no, he may lack integrity.
Evil creeps in through the door –
What on earth is he waiting for?
Takes advantage while he can
To profit from the greed of man.
The sweetest dreams have been and gone,
Lost, unfounded, one by one.
But redemption is there within his reach:
Listen to the pastor preach,
Take heart and rue the day
When Satan came and hoped to stay.

Prisoner in the darkness of my soul,
Invisible chains held me in the blackness of that gaol,
Shadows moved around enclosing walls
Circling smoothly, pressing darkly
Black on black against the light.
.
Spectres, spirits, ghouls flickered in the gloom,
Encroaching back to back around me in the room.
I cried out to God to help me flee,
Escape the evil that I felt surrounding me
And He… and HE was the One who set me free!

Why can’t others see
What my eyes are telling me?
Time and again through history
Bad choices by the majority
Lead us into misery – but
Do we learn from our mistakes?
Oh no, not us, we’ll always be
Blind to what some others see
As in the past days gone by
Barabbas was the one set free.

(After watching Monster…)
.
The night lay heavy on my heart,
Scenes embedded in my mind
While the moon sailed by,
Just a sliver in the sky.
Negative night and positive light;
Colours leached ‘til out of sight,
Dark thoughts like clouds rolled past,
Why do some have morals ~
Others none?
What gives them the right
To take a life?
At last…
The long night passed
The birds welcomed the dawn
And with the light came calm…
.
By the way, you can probably tell I am watching all the movies I missed out on plus some of my favourites.

My heart is rapt in the warmth of Your love
And Your light shines steady upon the path
But the devil’s name is Evil
He sets his snares here, there, everywhere
Devious detours, deviations
Heady scents of temptations
Powerful images and sensations
All things craven in this world of Satan
Almost irresistible; help me stay incorruptible
Keep me safe, give me faith
To follow in the light of Your love

Evil rides abroad at night
Cloaked in clouds that hide the light,
Looking for a fertile bed
Upon which to rest his head;
His evil thoughts in dreams are spread,
Filling us with utmost dread.
.
Evil prowls the minds of men,
Seeking foothold to craft his den.
He plants his seed where e’er he goes,
Finding places well disposed –
And they’re aplenty, heaven knows –
Offering space for his repose.
.
Oh God in Heaven help us to see
When all is not as it purports to be,
To recognise evil’s distorted face;
Bless us with Your holy grace
That none is misled by his carapace
In traversing life’s obstacle race.
