In the Garden of Eden
Man walked with God
Such intimacy was amazing
They walked on the lush green sod

But the Serpent
Convinced man to sin
To be redeemed
He would need a propitiation

This Fall
Would corrupt every man
All are affected by original sin
From the Garden, man faced a ban

But God was not
Done with man
Out of love
To earth came the Son of Man

He alone
Would save the human race
Look at Christ the Lord
See His face

God predestined His Elect
They were not chosen
Because of any inherent quality
Man’s soul was broken

The Holy Spirit
Quickens faith in the Elect’s soul
It goes from spiritually dead to alive
We are made whole

Regeneration precedes faith
We are saved by God’s sovereign grace
Totally depraved are we
Before salvation, we are in a bad place

But Christ is a mighty Redeemer
At Calvary, He suffered and died for our sin
The spotless Lamb bore God’s full wrath
But He would eventually win

On the third day
Of being dead in the tomb
Christ resurrected
He banished the gloom

Jesus is the God-Man
Fully human and fully divine
He defeated death, sin, and Satan
Jesus is the true Vine

The Elect are God’s chosen
We are regenerated instantly
And we’re saved by grace alone
Through faith alone, you see

The time is right
For a special delight
Something in the air tonight

My mind is disturbed
Thoughts are perturbed
My insanity is slightly curbed

Demons visit me at night
They cause quite a fright
They are in my sight

I sometimes get quite irate
Standing by the gate
I rebuke Satan’s hate

I am sometimes quite insane
I have a defective brain
My body is in pain

I run in the rain
Feel alive and urbane
I want to break every chain

At times, I bark at the moon
It makes the ladies swoon
I wish we had a monsoon

I am mad as hell
Don’t ring my bell
I’ll visit the chapel

Jesus is always there for me
Our faith is key
From Satan I will flee

I laugh like a madman
I have a plan
I am rather sullen

I went on a journey
Within my mind
What wonders I did find

My mind is a raging maelstrom
Of pure energy
It is truly mighty

I have traveled near and far
Using phased mind warps, you see
Traveling to any spacetime history

I can travel the universe
Without ever leaving my home
My consciousness can surely roam

On Earth, I am a giant among men
I am Primus Inter Pares, indubitably
This is my destiny

I can annihilate any foe
With just one thought
I was always the victor when I fought

I spend my time
In theological study and contemplation
Studying the Scriptures gives me elation

A battle rages
Between the carnal man’s strife
And the Spirit-filled life

Unregenerate man is spiritually blind
I walk by faith in Christ alone
He is the one who did atone

Powers and principalities fight for us
Our God is sovereign and mighty
Christ shines so brightly

We must deny the carnal in us
Spiritual warfare is key
God’s ways are a mystery

We must stand on God’s Word
To the Holy Scriptures we must submit
Our salvation we can never forfeit

I will spread the Gospel
Until I draw my last breath
Nothing can separate me from Christ, not even death

The Lord rebuke you, Satan
This is what I’ll say
When demons come my way

I ran barefoot
In the lush and cool
Summer grass

The sun’s warmth
Makes me feel at peace
I relax in a lawn chair

I watch monarch butterflies
Dance around in the air
They eat from the honeysuckle

I walk down to the creek
I knock down the water weeds
My sisters, Vi and Tanya, join me

We pick cicada shells
Off the pine trees
The sap smells wonderful

Vi and I go to the Big Yard
We roll around in the grass
I bury a big plastic coin

The ice cream truck pulls up
We get flavored ice cones
My favorite is blue raspberry

We buy foot-long strawberry licorice
And buttered popcorn
How I long for those days

When the street lights come on
It’s time to go home for dinner
We run home and wash our hands

These childhood memories
They are very dear to me
It was when I was truly happy

The loss of childhood innocence
It’s a terrible thing
Knowledge of evil is terrible

I’m mentally ill
I take many a pill

I lost my mind
It I cannot find

Sometimes I’m manic
My thoughts are frantic

I suffer from neurosis
As well as psychosis

I have delusions galore
And hallucinations, I abhor

Anxiety disorder, I have indeed
I wish to be freed

Sometimes I get a dissociative event
My sanity is bent

Schizophrenia plagues me a lot
Major depression makes my mind rot

I long for my mind to be whole
I endure a mental Sheol

I pray for God’s help
My mind does yelp

I lay in bed all day
Not a single care came my way

For 18 hours, I rested in bed
On the soft pillow was my head

I had strange dreams all night
Some of them caused a fright

At 3am – the Witching Hour
I faced Satan’s power

I was not afraid at all
“The Lord rebuke you!” was my call

I finally woke up
I was a tired pup

I had a 6-hour day
Then I was back asleep without delay

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
