Turn ye unto me 
And I will turn unto you!
I was sore displeased with your fathers
A new chance will I give you

The prophets warned your fathers
To turn from their evil ways
They didn't stop and listen
Your fathers, where are they?  (Zechariah 1:2-4)

Draw nigh unto God
And He'll draw nigh unto you
Cleanse your hands from sin
Your heart he will renew (James 4:8)

Let go of this world
And all of its stuff
Be a friend of God
Not a friend of the earth (James 4:4)

Zechariah 1:2-5
The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. 
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD. 4:Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? 

James 4:8
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 

James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 

I want the  inheritance,
An heavenly one,
Incorruptible, undefiled
Reserved only for sons

One that won't fade
Made by reservation
Kept  by the power of God 
through faith unto salvation (I Peter 1: 4-5)

Knowing my redemption didn't 
Come from corruptible things
Not by silver nor gold
Nor the stuff money brings

But by the precious sacrifice
The most perfect Lamb
With no blemish nor spot (I Peter 1:18-19)
Sitting now  at God's right hand (Mark 16:19)

Knowing that I am like the grass
And will soon wither away
But the Word of The Lord endures forever 
And Truth  is here to stay! (I Peter 1:24-25)

I Peter 1:4-5
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 

I Peter 1:18-19
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 

Mark 16:19
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God

I Peter 1:24-25
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. 

Passing through this land
Earthly kingdoms on every side
The Lord told you not to fear them
In Him, all your hope abides

Not worried about the giants
That rule upon the earth
Or about those whose numbers are many
Against The Lord, they have no worth

Drawing others near to Him
As He Guides your feet in the way of peace
Praying for those who misuse you
Seeking daily for love to increase

Preserved blameless
In spirit, body and soul
Knowing He who called is faithful
And will surely make you whole


Deuteronomy 3:21-22
And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.

Luke 1:74
That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

I Thess 5:23

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I Thessalonians 5:24
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

A way of life or A way of death
The choice is yours to make
If you stay in the city and fight
The road to death you'll take

But those who chose to take the path
That will lead to the path of life
Must leave the city in another's hands
Surrendering all their rights (Jer 21:8-9)

No man that warreth gets tangled up
with the affairs of this life (1 Tim 2:4)
Jesus said IF this were His kingdom,
His servants would surely fight (John 18:36)

Seek first the kingdom of God
and its righteousness (Matt 6:33)
the kingdom of God is not meat and drink;
And the earthly things that you can "get"

But rather, righteousness, and peace,
and joy in the Holy Ghost.(Romans 14:7)
This is what we are seeking!
These are the things that matter most!

Jeremiah 21:8-9
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

1 Tim 2:4
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

John 18:36

Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Who Rules Over You?

Walking in His statues
His commandments, keep and do
Peace will abound everywhere
Nothing will you be afraid to do

He will be your God
His people you will be
Enemies will run before you
He will make them flee

But if you chose to ignore Him
And make your life your own
Terror will be appointed
Those that hate you, on the throne

Sorrow of heart will surround you
You will sow your seed in vain
All your time working
Won't produce anything

The choice looks real simple
If you desire what He has to give
Living forever in righteousness
This life, just a small moment is...

Lev 26
^3.   If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
⁴ Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

⁵ And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

⁶ And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

⁷ And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

⁸ And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

⁹ For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

¹⁰ And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

¹¹ And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

¹² And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

¹³ I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

¹⁴ But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

¹⁵ And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

¹⁶ I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷ And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

Job 5:17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:


Five golden emerods, (1 Sam 6)
and five mice of gold
Put inside a coffer
A little box to hold

Two kine that never bore a yolk
And a new cart made for them
The ark was placed upon it
Then the travels will begin

If it goes up by the coast
To the town of Bethshemesh
We'll know this trouble is from The Lord
If not, chance was what it is

Of course, those Phillistines
Found out on that day
The Lord is in control
He sent the cart the coastal way

Afflictions don't come out of the dust
Nor trouble out of the ground ( Job 5:6)
The heart is desperately wicked (Jer 17:9)
In it your focus should be found

Communing with your heart
While laying in your bed (Psalms 4:4)
Knowing God led the trouble cart
Believe the things he said!

To those he loves, he chastens
Because we are His sons (Heb 12:7)
Leading to the peaceful fruit of righteousness (Hebrews 12:11)
That by man cannot be undone!

Job 5:6
Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

Jer 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Psalms 4:4
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Hebrews 12:7
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Hebrews 12:11
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Job 5:6
affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

He lifted up his eyes
And beheld the beautiful land
It was well watered with a river
A perfect choice for this man (Gen 13:10)

He chose that land that appeared
So lovely to his eyes
While Abraham took the left overs
In God's will he (Abr) abides

Trusting fully in The Lord
For whatever lot he gives
Is what God's people must do
It is the only way to live

Although men may make choice
And cast their lots to see (Proverbs 16:33
The whole disposing is of The Lord
He is the "Powers that Be" (Romans 13:1)

"Lift up thine eyes unto the hills
From whence cometh thy help" (Psalms 121)
The creator of the universe
And this little planet where we dwell.

Gen 13:10
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

Proverbs 16:33
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

Romans 13:1
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Psalms 121
A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
