I saw a crow
It yelled caw
It was the
Spring thaw

I walked
In Schenley Park
The differences between
Spring and winter were stark

Gone was
The snow
Now flowers
Began to grow

I walked
In the lush grass that’s green
Easter time
Would soon be seen

I saw
A peregrine falcon up high
It was beautiful
I looked up at the blue sky

The leaves are green
On the trees
I felt
A cool breeze

I saw
A monarch butterfly flew around me
On my shoulder
It I did see

Easter was
Getting near
A holy occasion
A special time of the year

Trust in Christ always
Do it for all your days

He is our Redeemer from sin
Christ was a propitiation

He is our closest friend
We’ll be with Jesus without end

The Holy Spirit is with us always
In our hearts, He stays

At Calvary on a cross Christ hung
His praises we have sung

He rose on the third day
Every demon Christ will slay

Man must be born again
Salvation we shall attain

We are born from above
Because of Jesus’ love

I stood in front of Christ
On the cross
His death seemed like a great loss

Death would not have
The last word
Christ would soon be heard

He descended
Into hell
Preaching the gospel, I can tell

On Easter Sunday, the third day
Christ rose from the dead
Man is saved by every word He said

He defeated death
Satan and sin
He was for man a propitiation

We, the elect, through faith alone
Have justification
God prepares works for our sanctification

Regeneration precedes faith
Man must be born again
Salvation we attain

We must have Christ as Savior and Lord
Every day, we must mortify our flesh
We who are in Christ are new creations and fresh

Christ redeems the sons of earth
He gives them a second birth

We must follow Sola Scriptura
God’s Word will restore ya

We, the elect, are born again
God gives us power over sin

Faith comes by hearing
It is God we should be fearing

In Christ, we are a new creation
We have no need for trepidation

By faith alone we are justified
Our flesh must be mortified

Scripture is our infallible authority
Christ died to set man free

God made good works for us
Sanctification takes us from minus to plus

Christ is the God-Man
Fully divine and fully man

At Calvary, we were redeemed, you see
By Christ’s shed blood for you and me

It’s a special time of the year
Full of yuletide cheer

I received many a gift
My mood did lift

I kissed under the mistletoe
Outside, it began to snow

I’m thankful to Christ for being born
One cold December morn

He came to save man
Christ followed God’s plan

We should remember that Jesus is the reason
For the Christmas season

My sister Vi and I decorated our Christmas tree
It was a thing of beauty

Colored lights galore
And ornaments we adore

We ate fruitcake and plum pudding, too
There is no delectable food we eschew

We ate baked ham, fresh kielbasa, and pierogi
Also, we had halushki and a salad of macaroni

Vi decorates our home with many Christmas things
She knows the happiness it brings

Let there be peace on earth and goodwill to all men
All God’s people say amen

Man is a sinful wretch
It is man whom God does catch

Man is totally depraved
We need Christ to be saved

I thank God for irresistible grace
It alone can save the human race

God conditions man so that he comes willingly
Regeneration is the work of God only

Scripture alone is our only infallible authority
God’s Word sets man free

Christ’s atonement was limited for the elect
God was circumspect

Man’s election to salvation is unconditional
It isn’t based on anything in man that’s tangible

Perseverance of the saints is totally true
God will enable man to see it through

In autumn
My big sister
Vi and I
Went to our
Log cabin
In the
Laurel Mountains
The trees
Had a gorgeous
Array
Of colored
Leaves
Red, brown
Yellow, pink,
And orange
I sat by
The nice warm
Fire in our
Fireplace
I read Scripture
While sipping
A mug of coffee
I was humbled
By my wretched
Sinfulness
And in deep
Gratitude
To Christ
For saving me
Vi and I
Had
A piece
Of pumpkin pie
With whipped
Cream
She made
Delicious
Butternut
Squash soup
I gobbled it up
We listened
To some
Nice music
Classical
And 1980s music
We fell asleep
Dreaming of
Thanksgiving
And the feast
We’ll have

Nature is alive
Flowers are in full bloom
I love springtime
It is sublime

Christ is the Messiah
He is our Lord and Savior
Easter is the best
In Christ, we enter Sabbath rest

We should pray
And be thankful to Christ
As we prepare for the Passion week
It is the Lord we seek

On Holy Thursday
Christ and the Apostles
Ate a Passover meal in the upper room
Soon, He would be in a tomb

When Jesus said we eat His body and blood
He meant it as a metaphor
The bread and wine are strictly
Spiritual food, not physically

On Holy Friday
Christ was crucified
Jesus left us communion
In Him we have perfect union

On the third day
Easter Sunday
Christ rose
Us Elect God chose

Jesus is
The Messiah
Sent to
The lost sheep
Of Israel
And also
The Gentiles
He is the one
Who fulfills
Bible prophecy
Christ is
The Logos
The second Person
Of the Trinity
He alone
Is the God-Man
Fully divine
And fully man
Christ is
The living
Word of God
He has
Two natures
He was born
To the virgin
Mary
In Bethlehem
On a cold
December night
Herod wanted
Jesus dead
So the holy
Family
Escaped to
Egypt
Jesus grew
Into a strong
Man
At the age of
Thirty-two
He began
His public
Ministry
Christ healed
The sick
Walked on water
Cast out
Demons
Turned water
Into wine
And He talked
About how man
Can attain
Salvation
Jesus was
Betrayed by Judas
He was sentenced
To a crucifixion
He gave up
His spirit
And died
Christ was buried
In a tomb
It was sealed with
A large boulder
And there were
Roman guards
Watching the tomb
On the third day
Jesus was resurrected
He was victorious
Over Satan
Death
And sin
He was man’s
Propitiation
He made the ultimate
Sacrifice
On the cross
He endured
God’s full wrath
His shed blood
Makes our salvation
Possible
We are saved
By grace alone
Through faith alone
Regeneration
Precedes faith
The Holy Spirit
Quickens our souls
Making us
Spiritually alive
We receive
Twin gifts
Of repentance
and belief in Christ
This is the gospel
In the future
Jesus will be
Returning to earth
The wicked world
Shall face
His judgement
