Eve
Eve Eve Oh, my wicked, wayward heartNot in paradise content!Though I had a perfect start,From the garden I’ve been sent. One command was all I had,One fruit only not to eat.How could I have failed so bad,Fully blinded by deceit? Now I suffer for the sinMy temptation got us in. Gnawing cares consume me now.Erring […]
Hagar
Hagar Sarah can’t conceive a babyBy the usual means of life,So she willingly suggested I become a second wife. Being given to her husband,Hopes in me materialized,And I’m hardly to be censured,If my mistress is despised. I have always done her bidding,Meekly served along her side.Who would fault me now or judge meIf I feel […]
The Violent
The Violent Yes, the Savior’s yoke is easy,And His grace is free to all,But the careless don’t embrace it,When they hear the gospel call. Though the will of man can’t birth it;Cannot choose the kingdom’s course,Yet the violent—Scripture tells us—Take it to themselves by force. If you’re asking, seeking, knocking,Eager to be freed from sin,Christ, […]
Not Ready to Die
Not Ready to Die The flower of youth though but recently fled,The sentence of death has been passed on my head.My heart is unwilling, my conscience can’t rest,My life’s not in order, by fears I’m oppressed,’Cause I am not ready,Not ready to die. I know in my head that the answer is Christ,That I can […]
Inheritance

Without corruption, undefiled,It “fadeth not away,”Reserved in heaven for every childWho keeps the narrow way. Rejoice, for though the present hourIs filled with many a trial,The One who keeps you by His powerWill make it all worthwhile. And […]
Two Ditches
Two Ditches Out on my own, but not equippedTo meet with life’s demands.From childish props I’m fully strippedFirst one and then another slippedFrom my unwilling hands. Oh, how it burned to let them go!I found the process hard,And though I wouldn’t let it show,I fondly clenched my status quo,Til I was deeply scarred. When finally […]
Jonathan
Jonathan A man of God in his own right,Who walked by faith and not by sight,The battles of the Lord he foughtAnd victory to the nation brought,For Jonathan had this in view:God saves by many or by few. When David came upon the sceneAnd slew the giant Philistine,A servant he became to Saul,Accepted in the […]
Inheritance in Light
Inheritance in Light We thank you, God, our Father,For giving us the OneBy whom we’re made partakersOf the kingdom of Your Son.You rescued us from darkness,From Satan and his chains,And moved us to the kingdomWhere Your Beloved reigns. In Christ we have redemption,Forgiveness of our sins,Through blood, the blood of Jesus, By whom all life […]
Old Soldier
Old Soldier Old soldier, have you left your post?The place for which you fought? The cross was once your only boastAnd held you to the spot. Not words of men, not wealth, not fameCould move you from the place, Where planted firm in Jesus’ name,You preached transforming grace. You stood for Christ, your faith was […]
