Oh how I miss
Those halcyon days
My carefree youth
When my mind
Was whole
A time of
Innocence
Before I fathomed
The cruel depths
Of evil
Human depravity
And degeneracy
My sisters
And I
Played outside
We did games
Like Red Rover
And Hide and Go Seek
We collected
Cicada shells
On trees
We danced
Under the sprinkler
We made
Mud pies
We played
Whiffle ball
We made up
Stories
We laughed
I will never
Forget
Those special
Days

I am not crazy
Nor am I lazy

I often feel lethargic
My mind is catastrophic

I long to walk and play
All I have is dismay

I put on Christ’s mind
True peace I find

I am mentally ill
I take many a pill

Sometimes I have psychosis
Also, I have a neurosis

I have delusions
So far there are no solutions

Major depression is no joke
I’m a sad bloke

My sister Vi lifts my mood
I improve my attitude

God’s sovereign grace
Can redeem the human race

In Adam, we all fell
Satan rang our death knell

But out of love, Christ came
It is us who are to blame

He is our Savior so dear
He casts out all our fear

Man is wretched and depraved
To sin we are enslaved

But Christ died for our sin
He was our propitiation

On the third day He rose
It is us He chose

By grace alone through faith alone
We are saved because Christ did atone

Through God’s Word, we’re called home
We need no other tome

Oh what a glorious morn
When Christ was born

In a manger, the holy Infant lay
Resting His body on a bed of hay

He would reconcile God and man
Christ followed God the Father’s plan

He died on the cross at Calvary
This propitiation set man free

This was the path that Christ chose
On the third day, He rose

He defeated death, Satan, and sin
In Christ, we win

He receives all the souls His Father gives
Christ our Redeemer lives

So repent and believe in Him so true
Satan will never deceive you

God is love
He is also justice
Let us not emphasize one
Over the other
God is all holy
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent
He left us with
His infallible
And inerrant Word
We worship
The Triune God
God the Father
God the Son
And God the Holy Spirit
God is absolutely sovereign
Nothing transpires
Outside His will

If we love
Christ
We will keep
His commandments
Christ is
Our Lord
And Savior
We need
To practice daily
Repentance
And godly sorrow
At our sin
As we are
In union
With Christ
We will hate sin
And our lives
Will yield
The fruit of
The Spirit
We must
Kill sin
Or it will be
Killing us
God sanctifies
His children
As we walk
In daily
Obedience
Doing the
Good works
He prepared
For us

The missiles fell
Like summer rain
It drove many insane

Our major cities
Were utterly destroyed
The nukes were deployed

Once mighty buildings
Were reduced to rubble
The few survivors struggle

Radioactive fallout
Blanketed the ground
Not many survivors were found

All is destroyed
And lost
In the nuclear holocaust

The effectual call
Which quickens men’s souls
Is not for all

God chooses the elect
He makes us
Spiritually circumspect

All that the Father gave
Are the chosen ones
They alone Christ did save

The new birth
When we become spiritually alive
Is cause for mirth

Regeneration precedes faith you see
God gifts us faith and repentance
We receive divine grace freely

Salvation is not earned certainly
God’s sovereign grace
Is applied to the elect sufficiently

Faith comes by hearing
And hearing by the Word of God
The elect have a godly hearing

I sit down
In lush cool grass
My depression
Will soon pass

I look above
And I see an owl
In the distance
I hear a wolf howl

I completely admire
God’s creation
It fills me
With elation

I marvel at
A mighty oak tree
Its deep roots symbolize
Our faith is so sturdy

A bald eagle
Flies above
It’s catching food
For its children due to love

I cannot ride on a plane
It would drive me insane
My sanity would wane

I cannot ride a train
It would cause me mental pain
This is my sad refrain

I cannot ride in a boat
It wouldn’t let me float
I’d rather walk a goat

I cannot ride in a car
It is deadly by far
I hate the smell of tar
