The postcard is the vision
Painted so beautifully,
By the revelator John
God's people love to see

A cry of Salvation
Standing before the throne
Wearing white and spotless
The saints are in their home

To the living fountains of waters: By the lamb, they were led
No more hunger, nor even thirst
No more tears will be shed

Serving God day and night
Singing that NEW song
Dwelling amongst the Holy One
All the day long

Rev. 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Without the true God
Without a teaching priest
Without law in Israel
A problem to say the least

King Asa was in charge
The prophecy was told
He decided to take courage
And let his weak hands become bold

He renewed the altar
Threw the idols out
The people decided to join him
Their promise they began to shout

Seven hundred oxen
And seven thousand sheep
Were offered on the altar
The Lord's favor they did seek

King Asa took his mother's idol
That she made in the grove
He cut it, stamped it, burned it
And removed her from the throne

Lord, let our hands be strong
Each day make You the start
Don't let this world idols
Have any place in our heart

1 Chronicles 15

" And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul "

You intended evil to me
but God meant it unto good
Joseph told his brothers
They may not have understood

They threw him in a pit
And sold him as a slave
They were jealous for their fathers love
To Joseph, Jacob clave

All things work for good
To those who serve the Lord (Romans 8:28)
The trials and the tribulations
Make you stronger in the Word

Where else can you go?
He holds the words to eternal life (John 6:68)
Contending for the faith (Jude 1:3)
Staying away from all this world's strife

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

Jude 1:3
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Turn aside! Please Turn aside!

I will now turn aside,
and see this great sight
Moses saw the bush
The fire and the light

When the LORD saw
that he turned aside to see
He spoke to him at once
Told him what would come to be

Sometimes we get real busy
With the cares of daily life
That fire may be burning
If we look over to the side

God is revealing himself
And is showing his mighty power
Have you stopped to see and hear His words
Have you gave him yet an hour?

Affections set on things above
Unconcerned with this world's best (Col 3:2)
Always keeping in mind the cross (2 Cor 4:10)
Studying so you'll pass the test (2 Tim 2:15)

Not focusing on how your treated
Only how you will respond
Quick to hear, slow to speak (James 1:19)
With the whole armor of God on (Eph 6:11)

Looking up and unto Him ( Psalms 121:1)
Who created all living things (John 1:3)
Knowing tomorrow here may not come (Matt 24:44)
Trusting we'll mount up with wings. (Is 40:31)

Running to obtain (I Cor 9:24-25)
While on the Lord we wait (Is 40:31)
While for things in this life,
No thoughts we take (Matthew 6:25)

Living soberly, righteously,
and godly, in this world;
Denying ungodliness and worldly lusts (Titus 2:12)
While God's beautiful plan unfurls


2 Cor 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus

2 Tim 2:15. Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Psalms 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Matt 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Is 40:31. But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Matthew 6:25. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

She fell for his (the devil) tricks
As we still do today
Yea, has God said don't eat this fruit?
Has God said you can't do things your way?

Be the master of your home
Boss your husband around
Money is more important
Than anything eternally found

Your little ones can be
Taught by anyone else
Let them sit in front of the tv
Or in daycare while you rest

Put yourself first
You deserve a break today
But no- none of that is true
You should always watch and pray

The easy way is always wrong
You must strive against sin every day
Only the spirit of God can help you
Only Jesus is the way.

Children are a gift
Straight from the Lord's hand
But you must to them give time
And teach them to how to "stand"

A child left to himself
Will bring shame to his mother
A child not taught of the word
Will soon become a burden

Withholding correction
is a dangerous deed
The rod of correction
Every child needs

Foolishness is bound up
In every child's heart
You must get it out
Today you must start!

Plants grown up, are your sons
The Psalmist said
The water of the Word
they must be fed

And your daughters are likened
Unto a polished cornerstone
But you must teach them God's love
And not leave them on their own

Prov 30:17
The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

The Lord, He is the God
Came the message with a shout
A few minutes earlier
Their faith was in doubt

Baal's priests were calling him
to send down fire
They even began to cut themselves
Trying to get Baal's power

Elijah poured water on his wood
To let the people see
How faith can move a mountain
When God's people get on their knees

Elijah cried out to God
The fire of the Lord fell
The sacrifice was consumed
Then Elijah turned to the priests of Baal

He slew all of them
By the brook Kishon
Then went back up on the mount
To thank the Mighty God!


I Kings 18

Tuesday, September 4, 2012

"Come in thou wife of Jeroboam"
Said the prophet to the king's wife
She was disguised as another
To plea for her sick son's life

The prophet was old and couldn't see
So her costume was all in vain
Although she went through all that trouble
He called her by her name

The news was not good news
God was disappointed with the king
He had led Israel to sin
Not depending on God for anything

God had took all but one tribe
And gave it all to him
If he'd kept God's commandments
His life different would've been

But he was worried about his kingship
That the people might turn away
So he set up two cow idols
For them to worship and to pray

Trust in the Lord with all your heart (Prov 3;5)
Don't let doubt and fear creep in
Wait for his promises
Trusting your hands will end in sin


II Kings 14
