Oh brew divine
I love to drink
Coffee all the time

Waking in the morning
It prevents me
From snoring

Throughout the day
I drink coffee galore
It makes me gay

I like it with creamer
That is so sweet and nice
Coffee keeps you sober

Lattes and frappucinos
I love coffee in all forms
Espressos and cappuccinos

Grind those coffee beans
And brew up a good cup
Wanting it is in my genes

From Ireland
My ancestors fled
The potato famine
Some of them wed

A new life
In America awaited
Their hopes and dreams
Were not deflated

Their children
Got a good education
They got nice jobs
It was a better situation

Still they longed
To visit Ireland once again
To see those green hills
Their longing caused pain

The best gift
Some of them received
Was to be born again
Satan no longer them deceived

They completely renounced
Their errant Catholic dogma
And embraced true belief
God was now their Father

Salvation is totally
Undeserved and unmerited
God’s sovereign grace
Made them adopted

Demons came in my window
During the night
They caused me
Quite a fright

They were ugly
Glowing red eyes
With black fur
Them I really did despise

The demons flew
Around my bedroom
Nasty creatures
Full of gloom

Blaspheming God
They spewed profanity
I said “The Lord rebuke you!”
And they began to flee

I dislike
Such demonic visitations
I will stand on God’s Word
No matter the manifestations

Regeneration is the root
Faith is its fruit

Regeneration precedes faith
Scripture saith

We are born from above
Because of God’s love

Thank God for sovereign grace
It alone can save the human race

The natural man is dead in sin
The Holy Spirit doth quicken

Our cold dead hearts are made alive
The Spirit did revive

We are spiritually reborn
Thanks to Eastern morn

Christ the sinless sacrifice
He paid the ultimate price

Christ was resurrected in full glory
This is not the end of the story

He calls all men to repent
We must believe the gospel as sent

Resist the Devil
And he will flee
He wants us in
A state of misery

The Lord rebuke you
We must say
Christ alone can keep
Satan at bay

We must stand firm
On God’s Word
If demons attack us
They need not be feared

In Christ we are
More than conquerors
He shall defend us
Against all attackers

It’s chilly outdoors
Filled with anxiety
I take medication
And pace the floors

In her bed
Vi peacefully slumbers
Her snoring is sweet
In our homestead

When my thoughts are dark
I pray and read Scripture
And imagine I’m sailing
On the ocean in a barque

And all seems gloom
And I am depressed
I read theology books
And relax in my bedroom

Sometimes I hallucinate
They can be scary
And quite disconcerting
But I am not irate

I like to take it easy
I listen to Bach
And sip a good coffee
Now I’m sleepy

Laying in bed
Harsh sunlight
Scorches my head

Heat index is high
As I lay there
I wonder why

Is El Nino to blame
Or is it just part
Of some divine game

Listless and low energy
Trapped like a prisoner
Yearning to be free

Sweat streams my face
The sun blazes
I rely on God’s grace

Before long
The air will be cold
We’ll sing a Christmas song

The sun keeps blazing
But I no longer despair
It is Christ I’m praising

The trees’ memories
Linger softly
Shadows of time past

A multitude
Of silent witnesses
Time passes slowly

Life is teeming
Under the foliage
An ecosystem in motion

Lush plants
Carpet the ground
Ants gather food

Rabbits and mice
Scurry about
Happy and content

Walking underneath
The canopy of leaves
Life is simpler

Feeling connected
To God the Creator
From dirt He made us

Look at the beauty
And diversity
Of life He created

Standing in awe
At the wonder
Of His handiwork

The last trumpet
Shall sound
The blast shall
Be heard across
The globe
The dead in Christ
Shall rise first
Getting uncorrupted
Bodies
Then those
Who are alive
Will be raptured
The Church
Will be caught up
And meet Christ
In the air
This happens
Before
Great Tribulation
When God’s wrath
Is poured out
On the wicked men
Of the earth
We the Body
Of Christ
Shall accompany
Him
To Heaven
For the
Marriage Supper
Of the Lamb
Then after
Seven years
We shall return
To earth
For the
Second Coming
And the
Thousand year
Reign of Christ
Maranatha

Water
So fresh
And pure
When I am
Thirsty
It’s the
Cure
I like it
Cold with
Plenty of
Ice
That’s
Very nice
If you’re
Parched
There is
Nothing
Better
I guzzle
It down
By the
Liter
Add some
Honey
And lemon
Juice
Nothing
Sweeter
