It’s the end of the month
Our funds are low
Get me a ribeye steak
On my waistline, it will show

We must pinch our pennies
And save every dime
We’ll buy milk and cereal
Eating yummy food is sublime

We may not have a lot
With the Lord, we’ll find a way
His mercy is new every morning
We cook at home every day

We’ll have egg salad sandwiches
And tasty cans of soup, nice and hot
We’ll make pitchers of sun tea
If it’s delectable, we’ll want a lot

We love drinking ice-cold water
So pure and fresh it makes us gay
The colder the better it is
We love it every single way

We make homemade soup
French onion and wedding soup too
We are frugal and budget our food
There’s nothing delicious that we eschew

I’m in a deep malaise
It’s lasted for days

I want to give up
And play with my sweet pup

I lie in bed for many a day
I’m full of dismay

My thoughts are racing
Our floor, I’m pacing

I struggle to get a good night’s sleep
It’s exhausting, and I weep

Chatting with my sister Vi
Makes me feel better, and spry

It’s hard for me to have motivation
If I had energy, it would be an elation

I won’t give up, you see
In Christ, I have the victory

We are currently
In the dispensation
Of grace
Each day
We are closer
To the End Times
The Rapture
When the Church
Meets Christ
In the sky
Is imminent
We shall fly
With Him
To Heaven
For the
Marriage Supper
Of the Lamb
On earth there
Will be
A Great Tribulation
Lasting 7 years
The Church
Is not appointed
To God’s wrath
When Jesus returns
To Earth
The Second Coming
He will rule
From a new temple
In Jerusalem
For a thousand years
After that
Satan will be cast
Into the Lake
Of Fire
Where he’ll remain
For eternity
The dead shall rise
And with the living
They’ll face
The Great
White Throne Judgment
God will create
A New Heaven
And a New Earth
Where we’ll live
For eternity

My energy is totally depleted
I feel utterly defeated

I am down in the dumps
I have to take my lumps

I feel so depressed today
I am full of dismay

Listen to my sad tale
I lie in bed like a beached whale

Time moves on slowly
My mental state is sickly

I long to play and run
I really need some fun

I take medication, you see
It helps my mind truly

One day, my mind will be whole
Then I won’t have to live on the dole

Sigh no more
God will bring us
To the celestial shore

Out of love, Christ came
He became a man
This was no game

From Mary, He was born
Jesus is fully both divine and human
He came on Christmas morn

Jesus is the Son of Man
He is the Messiah prophesied
He followed the Father’s plan

God created all of spacetime
He is our Creator
He exists outside of time

Christ is the Logos, you see
He’s the living Word of God
He’s an equal person in the Trinity

Jesus’ birth was a miracle so great
God condescended to live as a man
This really happened, it’s not up for debate

Through Christ alone
We have union with God again
Because He did atone

At Calvary, Christ paid the ultimate cost
He was the sinless Lamb of God
Jesus died on the cross, but all hope was not lost

On the third day since He was in the tomb, you see
Christ proved He is divine
He defeated death, sin, and Satan, a total victory

I do not despair
I’m thriving in Alaska
I’m a mighty grizzly bear

The salmon jump up the stream to mate
With a swipe of my mighty paw
The fish will soon be on my plate

I like to hibernate all winter long
I’m comfortable and cozy in my den
When I wake up in spring, I’ll sing a song

I’m an apex predator, you see
My only danger is from mankind
I can outswim, climb, and run anybody

I love running exuberantly
Through fields of golden clover
I relish the trees and greenery

I love to eat honey, so sweet
I get stung a bunch of times
But it’s worth it for this treat

It was a dark and cold
Winter’s day
I felt a bit of dismay

I was walking outside
Enjoying the crisp air
No longer did I despair

The pure white snow reminded me that
In Christ, God doesn’t see our sin
Because Jesus made a propitiation

I went shopping for Christmas
In some nice local shops
For dinner, I bought lamb chops

The streets downtown
Were filled with holiday shoppers
Strung up were lights of many colors

People were cheerful
Displaying holiday mirth
Thankfully, they received a second birth

Later in the day, my sister Vi and I
Went on a sleigh ride
On the houses were decorations we spied

Back at home, Vi and I relaxed
With Schneider’s eggnog
We soon slept and dreamed agog

I fished in a nearby stream
I caught a rainbow trout
It felt like a dream
It was a good day out

I find peace in nature
I love the warm springtime
A nice cool breeze brings pleasure
This time of year is truly sublime

I went hiking in Hays Wood
It was so peaceful and serene
I saw mighty oaks where they stood
I made sure to wear sunscreen

I saw a mother black bear
With three small cubs nearby
I did not have any fear
I gazed at the clear blue sky

Walking further, I spied
A Peregrine Falcon above
It was doing a glide
Next, I spotted a white dove

I made the trek back home
Spending a day in nature was the best
No longer did I need to roam
I lay down and had a nice rest

God’s creation testifies
To His existence, you see
Evidence abounds to analyze
Christ alone sets us free

Deep serenity
For the love of Christ in you

Deep serenity
For the sound of crashing waves

Deep serenity
For my sister Vi’s smile and laugh

Deep serenity
For sled riding in the snow in my youth

Deep serenity
For catching lightning bugs

Deep serenity
For swimming in cold water as a child

Deep serenity
For watching kung-fu films with Daddy

Deep serenity
For listening to Mommy sing “Puff the Magic Dragon” to me at bedtime

Deep serenity
For my Polish Gramma who showed love through her delicious food

Deep serenity
For my contentment and peace, listening to one of Bach’s sacred cantatas

Deep serenity
For my faith in Christ alone

Deep serenity
For my mental health
