Preach
The full counsel
Of the Lord
May God rebuke the DevilGod is sovereign
Over all
Man has been tainted
With sin since the FallThe natural man
Is desperately wicked
His soul
Is sickenedUntil God intervenes
Man is spiritually dead
He has a stone heart
Once saved, we have no dreadAt Calvary
Christ bled and died
He will be
Forever magnifiedOur salvation
Is procured
By Christ’s sacrifice
By His firm grip we’re securedPenal substitutionary atonement
Is absolutely true
All our sin was imputed to Christ
He was the Lamb who died for the fewBelievers receive
Christ’s perfect righteousness
All our sins
Are heinousFaith comes by hearing
Once a soul is regenerated
They receive faith and repentance
No longer are they degeneratedOur blessed hope
Is Christ’s return
Those unbelievers
Will in hell burnby Zachary Uram

My Dear Gramma
My dear
Polish American
Gramma
You showed
Your family love
Through
Your cooking
You were truly
The best cook
I ever knew
I will
Never forget
Your baked ham
Paska and pierogies
Kapusta and halushki
Macaroni salad
Fresh sausage
And galumpkis
At Christmas
And Easter
You blessed us
With such
Wonderful food
I can still
Recall Gramma’s
Voice
“Eat up!”
“Plenty left!”
She said
I cherish
These memories
We used to chat
Every day
On the phone
I think of you
Often
Your smile
Lit up
The room
You’re in
Heaven now
I look forward
To us being
Reunitedby Zachary Uram

Cuisine
I crave a hot pizza pie
I’m not telling a liePile the food high on my table
This is no fableI want a Chinese buffet
I’ll eat it without delayA lobster tail is very nice
It’s worth a steep priceA juicy Wagyu hamburger is delish
Give me all the food, that’s my wishI’ll have a steak and cheese hoagie
Also, I want many a pierogiA delectable ribeye steak sure would be nice
It’s worth the priceI want a slice of cherry pie
Give me a sandwich of turkey on ryeSpaghetti and meatballs are a great treat
I love to eat delicious meatI need a succulent baked ham
And some roast lambA delicious bowl of chili is out of sight
Fried chicken with hot sauce is a delightI’ll devour fish and chips with malted vinegar
I’m the food conquerorby Zachary Uram

Grizzly
I am a mighty grizzly bear
When people are near me, they feel fearI am known to growl
When my mood is foulI ate honey from a beehive
It helped me to surviveI can outrun, outswim, and outclimb
Human beings, it’s so sublimeWhen I stand up, I’m ten feet tall
Sometimes with other grizzlies, I brawlI feed on salmon swimming upstream
In the forest, I reign supremeI weigh seven hundred pounds
I can easily defeat a pack of houndsIn winter, I hibernate
When I wake up in spring, I feel greatby Zachary Uram

Christ is the Alpha and Omega
Jesus has all authority
He alone sets man freeHe is the first and last
Jesus saves us from our sinful pastHe is our Redeemer
Jesus is our Lord and SaviorHe is the Lamb
In Jesus’ presence, demons scramHe loves us with all His heart
Once regenerated, man has a fresh startAt Calvary, Jesus bled and died
At the foot of the cross, Mary criedOn the third day, Jesus rose
It is man whom God choseBy grace through faith we are saved
Our salvation is not meritedOnce born again, we’re a new creation
The Holy Spirit indwells us, and we have elationAfter we’re saved, we must repent all our days
May we grow in sanctification alwaysMortification is key
We must deny our sin and from temptation fleeOur blessed hope is Jesus’ return to earth
Oh, what a glorious day full of mirthby Zachary Uram

The Gospel
Christ is our High Priest
He came to redeem the leastThe natural man is a wretched sinner
Christ makes man a spiritual winnerAll our sin was imputed to Him
It was not done on a whimWe receive Christ’s righteousness
We can have assurance we’re saved, with surenessIt’s man whom Christ saves
We are His slavesOnce regenerated, we are gifted faith and repentance
When we sin, we should do penanceAt Calvary, Jesus paid the price for our sin
He was a propitiationChrist is sinless in every way
His blood purchased our salvation on Good FridayChrist descended into hell
He preached the gospel to every prisoner in a cellOn the third day, Easter Sunday
Jesus rose from the dead; His tomb was emptyTrust in the Lord with all your heart
From His presence you will never departby Zachary Uram

Gospel Truth
By God, we are chosen
We, His children, are born from above
Our hearts are no longer frozen
We are saved because of God’s loveAt Calvary, Christ hung
On a wooden cross
His praises will be forever sung
Christ’s death seemed a great lossHe receives all power and glory
Christ is the eternal Logos
The Bible is His story
At the foot of the cross grew mossOn the third day, Christ rose
He broke the power of sin
His victory is written in much prose
Christ was our propitiationJesus said we must be born again
God gifts His elect faith and repentance
Once regenerated, we have victory over sin
Sin becomes a repugnanceWe are chosen by God
He allows trials for our good
He won’t spare the rod
We will behave as we shouldby Zachary Uram

Depression
I struggle with depression
I take medicationI’m in bed all day
I have little to sayI have no motivation
It’s a sad situationI lay in bed like a beached whale
This is my sad taleIt is difficult being down in the dumps
Depression isn’t for chumpsI long to run and play
Instead, I’m full of dismayOne day I’ll be healed
My depression shall be repealedPlease say a prayer for me
It’s difficult to have such miseryby Zachary Uram
