  • Christ the Lord

    Christ is the Lord of Lords
    We sing a beautiful hymn
    For Him

    Christ is the King of Kings
    Him we adore
    Repent and believe I implore

    Christ is our Redeemer
    At Calvary, He paid for our sin
    He was our propitiation

    Christ is the Son of God
    Fully God and fully man
    He followed God the Father’s plan

    Christ is the Word of God
    God’s wrath He bore
    He defeated death forever more

    Christ is the Son of Man
    He went to hell you see
    He set the captives free

    Christ is the Alpha and Omega
    On the third day, He rose
    It is sinners that God chose

  • Irene Uram – My Gramma

    My dear grandmother
    She was unlike any other

    She had painful knees
    To God she made pleas

    Her arthritis hurt a lot
    She rubbed on some Icy Hot

    At bingo she had fun
    She trusted in God the Son

    She showed her love with food
    Gramma cooked regardless of her mood

    I cherish my memories of her
    “See that!” is part of my lexicon so dear

    We used to talk by phone every day
    Her absence makes me full of dismay

    I long to kiss her on the cheek
    And receive a hug so meek

    She had a strong Catholic faith
    For most of her life, she had good health

    Gramma’s Polish food was the best
    Better than all the rest

    How I long to eat her homemade galumpkis
    And her pierogis

    She loved watching the Pirates play baseball
    She cheered at the pitcher’s fastball

    She was proud of her Polish ethnicity
    Gramma loved polka music decidedly

    I miss and love you as much as the stars in the sky
    God took you home, I know that but I still cry

    I will be reunited with Gramma in heaven one day
    Until then I’ll reminisce and pray

  • My Feet

    Vi rubbed my feet
    They can’t be beat

    She used tea tree oil
    My feet won’t spoil

    My feet are fresh and clean
    They have a wonderful sheen

    I have a bad callous on my big toe
    Each year it continues to grow

    The podiatrist will give my toenails a trim
    I look good and slim

    My feet smell so sweet
    With healthiness they are replete

  • Santa’s Big Night

    Santa Claus departs from
    The North Pole
    He only visits poor families
    On the dole

    If you look outside
    And search the skies so quick
    You may see
    Jolly St. Nick

    The elves make toys
    Without delay
    They toil all night
    And all-day

    Santa will land
    On our roofs
    He comes down the chimney
    Hear his reindeers’ hooves

    On Christmas morning
    Kids will open their gifts
    Outside are tall
    Snow drifts

    Santa’s work
    Is finally done
    Now he can relax
    And have some fun

  • Jesus Is Lord

    I thank God
    For His sovereign grace
    Christ died
    For the human race

    Due to Adam’s fall
    We fell into sin
    But Christ was
    A mighty propitiation

    He came to earth
    One frosty morn
    Oh glorious day
    When Christ was born

    At Calvary
    He took on God’s wrath
    Christ bled for us
    That was His path

    On the third day
    He rose
    We celebrate this event
    With song and prose

    Jesus made salvation possible
    For the sons of earth
    The Holy Spirit quickens our soul
    This is the new birth

    Let all creation proclaim
    Christ is King
    The angels are praising Him
    May all of Christendom sing

  • A Christmas Sleigh Ride

    We’re in a winter wonderland
    To God, we make a petition
    It’s our
    Yuletide tradition

    My sister Vi and I
    Travel in our sleigh
    We’re overjoyed
    And very gay

    We’re nice and cozy
    With a blanket on our laps
    We just passed by
    Two good chaps

    Our horses take us
    All the way to Gramma’s house
    I’m wearing my dress clothes
    Vi has on a skirt and blouse

    At Gramma’s house
    We eat good Christmas food happily
    We’re stuffed completely
    Baked ham, pierogi, and halushki

    We return back to our abode
    In our sleigh
    Pulled by our two white horses
    We shall be home without delay

    We dream in our beds
    Of Christmas stories
    Snoring away contently
    We see gourmet pastries

  • My Day in The Snow

    I awoke
    To a landscape of white
    It snowed
    All day and night

    A winter wonderland
    Was before my eyes
    The snow seemed
    To reach the skies

    With my trusty snow shoes
    I set out on a trek
    I heard a woodpecker
    On the oak tree, it did peck

    Bitter cold air
    Stung my lung
    I felt alive
    Caught a snowflake on my tongue

    The snow shimmered
    Under morning light
    It was a dazzling display
    Quite the sight

    A white Christmas
    We had this year
    I love this season
    Of peace and good cheer

  • Feeling Blue

    It’s raining today
    I am depressed
    Full of dismay
    I won’t get dressed

    I feel glum
    I’m down in the dumps
    I’ll chat with Vi my chum
    I’ll have to take my lumps

    I hate being blue
    I have no energy
    Bad thoughts I eschew
    I’m full of lethargy

    I wish to run and play
    I’m stuck here in bed
    I want to be gay
    I’m totally lethargic instead

  • A Gospel Proclamation

    Behold
    The King of the Jews
    I proclaim the Gospel
    It is Good News

    Man was mired in sin
    He needed to be reconciled
    To an all-holy and all-righteous God
    He needed a Savior undefiled

    Christ was born
    Of a virgin so pure
    His path
    Was sure

    He would save mankind
    By sovereign grace alone
    Of all the people
    Only Christ could atone

    At Calvary
    He paid the price
    Christ was not guilty
    Of any vice

    On the third day
    He rose
    Christ was resurrected
    His divinity shows

  • Gospel Meditations

    We are born into sin
    But Christ was
    Our propitiation

    He was our sinless
    Sacrifice
    Our Lord so gracious

    We have a mighty Redeemer
    Christ the Messiah
    He sent us the Comforter

    We are regenerated
    Before we have the gift of faith
    Our souls are quickened

    We become a new creation
    We are spiritually alive
    This is a reason for elation

    We must grow in sanctification
    Mortifying the flesh each day
    We will do it until glorification
