I walk
In the spring rain
It helps me stay sane

I hike
To the mountain top
I’ll go until I stop

I breath
Very deep
The hill is steep

I think
Of my childhood
Memories highly valued

I run
In the fields of grass
I met a beautiful lass

I climb
Up a tree
I feel free

I sleep
And dream all night
It was a delight

Jesus came to earth
To give man a second birth

In the manger, Jesus did lie
The three wise men stopped by

He was free from all sin
Jesus would be our propitiation

On the cross, He hung
His praises man has sung

Jesus bore God’s full wrath
That was His path

His blood saved us all
Thank God for the effectual call

On the third day, Jesus rose, you see
He defeated Satan, death, and sin completely

For sure is the Elect’s salvation
We’re predestined by God for liberation

We are free from the bondage of sin
In Christ, we win

Those who are born again
We shall praise God, that’s our refrain

Man’s election
Is due to
Christ’s perfection
He is the Messiah

Through God’s graciousness
Our sin is imputed to Christ
His perfect righteousness
We receive

We are born from above
Christ suffered and died
Out of love
We’re born again

The natural man
Is spiritually dead
Christ followed God’s plan
When regenerated, we become alive

We receive faith and repentance
After the Holy Spirit quickens our souls
It isn’t by happenstance
We, the Elect, were predestined to salvation

Jesus bled
In our stead

He bore God’s wrath
That was His path

He took His last breath
Christ wasn’t defeated by death

He did not lie in repose
On the third day, Christ rose

He defeated Satan, death, and sin
His death was a propitiation

We’ll live with Christ in heaven
Of this I am certain

God regenerates a dead soul
We receive eternal life in full

We are gifted faith and repentance
Through Christ alone we gain acceptance

We are born again
A new creation, no longer a prisoner of sin

It was
A beautiful
Chilly autumn day
I saw
A panoply
Of multi-hued
Foliage
Under my feet
Leaves crunched
Satisfyingly
It began
To drizzle
I headed home
Warmed myself
At the fireplace
I sipped
A cup
Of pumpkin spice
Latte
I curled up
On the couch
And fell asleep
Dreaming of
Christmas

Today I turn fifty
I am full of glee

Vi and I will celebrate
It sure is great

We’ll eat club sandwiches
Hunger it banishes

I’m half a century old
My faith in Christ is bold

I thank God for my life
I hope the next year has little strife

The Lord has blessed me in so many ways
I am one who prays

As I look back
I see that Christ kept me on track

I set sail
For a distant land
I guided the boat
With my hand

I landed in
The Emerald Isle
I walked
For a mile

I came across
A huge rainbow
It reminded me of
The love God did bestow

I saw a Celtic cross
It was carved from stone
The light of Christ
Had shone

I spied a wee leprechaun
It had a pot of gold
He was
Very old

I walked barefoot
In the lush green grass
I dreamt of
A beautiful Irish lass

I sailed back home
I had many happy memories
Of Ireland
It was the stuff of fantasies

If you have a carnal mind
You are limited in so many ways
The truth you will not find

Christ is the eternal Logos
He is the very Word of God
Of everything, He is the source

God spoke the Word
And the universe was created
It’s not absurd

The Lord created orders
The universe was created with a purpose
The Elect are God’s sons and daughters

We are children of God by adoption
The Holy Spirit quickens our souls
It’s possible due to Christ’s resurrection

On the cross
Jesus suffered and died
It seemed such a loss

But death could not hold Christ the Lord
On the third day, He rose
In the tomb, massive energy poured

Faith comes by hearing, not happenstance
We are transformed from spiritual death to life
Then we receive faith and repentance

I’m fatigued totally
I suffer from lethargy

Vi and I heard a raven
Made our backyard tree its haven

We are footloose and fancy free
We enjoy writing poetry

We ran in the rain
It made us insane

Like Bereans, we study the Bible carefully
Great knowledge is imparted to Vi and me

We are barking mad
It’s a situation quite sad

We enjoy English literature
In our home, it is a fixture

I travel the universe in my spare time
By employing phased mind warps sublime

In Adam, we all fell
We’re in a prison cell

This prison is sin
We need redemption

Adam is our federal head
We are spiritually dead

We are totally depraved
In Christ alone are we saved

Thank God for the effectual call
Satan shall no longer us enthrall

God chose who He would save
It wasn’t based on how we behave

It wasn’t due to any action or quality
God’s reasons are a mystery

The Holy Spirit quickens a soul
We are transformed as a whole

We receive faith and repentance
This isn’t happenstance

Once regenerated, we receive a new nature
Trapped by sin no more, we don’t labor
