  • Alleluia, He is risen!

    Just outside of JerusalemTook place the greatest event of all timeA supreme act so sublime ‘Twas a hot afternoonOn that blessed hill of CalvaryWhere Christ died to set men free Christ’s suffering was a perfect atonementAn expiationFor all our sin On that rocky soil of GolgothaDid Jesus’ blood flowHe endured more than any man could…

  • Diablo

    From Heaven Satan fellI heard the death knell Pride led him to revoltFor all his intelligence he was a dolt He desired to be like God completelyTo have supreme sovereignty He was the chief archangel of lightNow he’s full of blight Satan is our adversaryBut in Christ we have victory The Devil prowls like a…

  • The United States of Babylon

    Is this the place where freedom liesBeneath the wicked cocaine skies The land of the freeFreedom to sin and create misery The love of God and country has long grown coldFor most in this Satanic fold Where have you gone halcyon daysNow we live in a haze Wrong is right and the insane are saneThis…

  • Dawn of the Millennium: A Happy Reminiscence

    I awoke before dawn at 4:30 amOne cold December Monday mornTwas 5 days till the timeThat Christ was born I ventured outsideBefore morning’s lightI beheld a winter wonderlandOh what a sight The ground was coveredIn a foot of snowThe streetlights cascaded downCreating a warm glow I began my slow trek from my tiny apartmentIn Squirrel…

  • Christ the King

    Hail Christ the KingThe Lord of LordsIt is His praises I sing Born in a humble manger so smallHe would redeem manFrom the curse of the Fall He is fully God and fully manBecause of loveHe enacted the Father’s plan Man was lost in sinWe needed a Savior to ransom usA holy propitiation Christ came…
