I needed a sweet treat
I found some ice cream
And hot fudge sauce
It was a culinary dream

A juicy ribeye steak
Sure, it would be great
I’ll eat it all
And clean my plate

I want something spicy
A nice curry will do
When it comes to yummy food
There’s nothing I’ll eschew

A piece of pumpkin pie
Topped with whipped cream
It’s really divine
Better than it may seem

I want a smorgasborg
An epicurean delight
I will gobble up each dish
With all my might

Spaghetti with meatballs
It’s sure to please
I’ll eat it all up
It’s the bees’ knees

I am in
A deep funk
I feel like I was
Sprayed by a skunk

I am floundering
In a psychological abyss
My sanity is
Hit or miss

I’m a few bricks shy
Of a load
Sometimes I feel
Like an old toad

I’m trapped
In lethargy
I want to break out
And be free

I have no energy
At all
Hear my
Desperate call

I want to move
And play
Instead, I’m trapped in bed
And full of dismay

I hear
Inner voices
They are not
My choices

I feel like a stranger
In a strange land
Lately my thoughts
Are rather moribund

I find myself in
A totally depressed state
My mental health
Sure isn’t great

I am mourning Daddy
The grief is overwhelming
I want to hear his voice
I’m stuck farewelling

I know one happy day
Daddy and I will reunite
That is my hope
It will be a time outta sight

My faith in Christ
It will get me through
I’ll lean on Jesus
No prayer will I eschew

I can acutely imagine that day
When I see Daddy again
And we hug
We’ll be free from all sin

The trumpet shall sound
And the dead in Christ
Shall be raised from the ground

Next, those living in Christ will rise
The world will be shocked
They’ll be taken by surprise

This rapture is our blessed hope
Don’t be left behind
Trust in Christ, not in a pope

All those who are born again
Will meet the Lord in the clouds
Christ breaks every chain

We’ll go to Heaven
For the Marriage Supper of the Lamb
It will be Christ and all the brethren

The Church shall not suffer God’s wrath
That is reserved for those on Earth
We must walk this divine path

After seven years, we’ll return to Earth
This is Christ’s Second Coming
With Him will be all who had a second birth

Next is Christ’s millennial reign
For a thousand years, He’ll rule from Jerusalem
The natural man shall endure great pain

Satan, the fallen angels, and fallen humanity
All those not in Christ shall go
Into the Lake of Fire for eternity

Finally, there will be a New Heaven and a New Earth
We’ll live with Christ forever in glorified bodies
It’s cause for great mirth

I miss you, Daddy
So much
I need an
Emotional crutch

The days pass by
So slowly
I am deep
In melancholy

The only thing
I feel is grief
Oh, how I long
For relief

I want to
See you again
From sadness, I will
Try to abstain

I would give anything
To hear Daddy’s voice
But sadly
I don’t have that choice

One day we’ll be together
In the sweet by and by
We’ll be happy forever
Never again will I cry

Please pray for me
As I battle depression
And mourn
I fight demonic oppression

I am a pilgrim
On the path
Of salvation
For Christians
We are strangers
Living in
A strange land
Being with
Christ forever
Will be our
True home
We are saved
By double
Imputation
Also known as
Penal
Substitutionary
Atonement
Christ perfect
Righteousness
Is imputed to us
And our sins
Are imputed to Him
This is not a case
Of nominalism
Those who Christ
Saves will become
Truly holy
The Holy Spirit
Sanctifies us
In so many ways
We are conformed
To Christ
Christ receives
All the souls
That God the Father
Gives Him
These Elect
Were predestined
To be saved
Before the foundation
Of the world
We are saved
By God’s sovereign
Grace alone
Through faith alone
In Christ alone
According to
Scripture alone
For the glory
Of God alone

All praise
Be unto God
He rules with
An iron rod

God hates
The wicked
But loves
The Elect He picked

The unregenerate
Are Satan’s children
Their nature is
Rotten within

The natural man
Is spiritually dead
Inherited sin from Adam
Our federal head

The Holy Spirit
Quickens a soul
They receive
A new nature in full

Regeneration
Precedes faith
We’re gifted
Faith and repentance both

When we are born again
We are made spiritually alive
In union with Christ
Our new nature does belive

This salvation we receive
Is totally unmerited
To Christ
We are devoted

We are gifted
Sovereign grace alone
Because Christ
Did atone

I will run
Through
The Amazon
Rain forest
Above me
A green canopy

I will swim
From America
To Ireland
Across the
Ocean deep
I can do it

I will pray
The Our
Father
I will ask
God that I
Do His will

I will think
About Reformed
Theology
The doctrines
Of grace
Calvinism

I will laugh
At Vi’s joke
She is so clever
Her jokes
Cheer me up
When I’m blue

I will fast
No food
From 7pm
To 12pm
The weight will
Come off

I will cry
As I mourn
The loss
Of my grandparents
They are gone
But not forgotten

I will read
The Scriptures
It is the very
Word of God
I shall study to show
Myself approved

I slew
A fire-breathing
Dragon

And rescued
A damsel
In distress

I won
The jousting
Tournament

King Arthur
Made me
One of his knights

I made
A pilgrimage
To the Holy Land

We fought
The Saracens
And won

I returned
To Camelot
We had a feast

Vi is my
Sweet maleet
She can’t
Be beat

She helps me when
My back is in pain
Without her
I’d go insane

Vi does our laundry
And the cooking too
There is no chore
That she will eschew

She comforts me
When I’m feeling blue
There is nothing
She won’t do

Vi makes my bed
So fresh and clean
She is
A cleaning machine

When I am struggling
She is by my side
With her
I have nothing to hide

Vi is my dear chumlay
We chat for hours
The kitchen and bathroom
She scours

We laugh and cry
Vi is my best friend
We’ll be together
Until the end
