Spring flowers
Are in full bloom
We are celebrating
Christ’s empty tomb

Jesus rose
On the third day
Conquering sin and death
His glory was in full display

I smell
The fresh Spring air
The fragrant tulips
Smell so fair

The tiger lilies
Have fresh dew
It is my sin
I wish to eschew

Christ’s perfect sacrifice
For the sons of earth
Made possible
Our second birth

The sun
Is shining bright
Christ is
The uncreated Light

I look forward
To the rapture of the Church
You don’t want to be
Left in the lurch

It’s a lazy day
I am feeling
Mostly okay

I hear
The thunderstorm
No need for fear

The rain
Makes lovely percussion
It makes me feel sane

Suddenly
A loud crack of thunder
What strong energy

The wind howls loud
Our windows rattle
I spot a big black cloud

Lightning sizzles
Such ferocity
The rain now drizzles

God’s creation
Is so wondrous
It sends me to elation

Our ship set sail
For the ocean deep
We traveled far
As I did sleep

Huge waves
Lashed our craft
We almost capsized
But our hull did last

Finally we had calm seas
We spotted a whale
It was huge
This was no fairy tale

It was a humpback
Air came out its blowhole
Such a majestic creature
It had precise control

We lowered a mic
Into the sea
We heard whale song
A captivating mystery

The whale leapt
Into the air
It was an amazing feat
All I could do was stare

Finally our ship turned
And set a course for home
This was a day to remember
So ends my poem

This is my sad tale
My cognition became slow
And I had dissociation
Twenty-four years ago

I was stricken down
In my prime
By mental illness
It was not sublime

Psychiatrists said I had
Schizophrenia, major depression
And anxiety disorder too
I felt bad about my situation

I started hearing
Inner voices
They are distracting
It is nonstop noises

I also have visual
Hallucinations
They are disturbing
It is not just imaginations

I take a variety
Of psychoactive medications
They helped me to a degree
But I still have visualizations

Life with severe mental illness
Is not easy
I thank God for allowing me to hurt
I unite my suffering with Christ freely

I must wait until Heaven
To have a sane mind
But I treasure my life
And what I may find

Christ will return
As the last trumpet blows
When will this happen
Only God the Father knows

Christ shall be on
A steed of white
His glorious appearing
Shall cause a fright

From His Mouth
Shall come a sword
He shall slay
The Satanic horde

Then begins
The Millennium
Christ ruling the world
Putting it into equilibrium

It will be like
No time before
There shall be peace
Upon every shore

Then we shall see
The New Heaven and New Earth
It will be comprised
Only for people of the second birth

Infant baptism
Is an abomination
Those affirming it
Are lacking in education

Scripture is totally silent
On the matter
Not a single explicit case
To be found in a chapter

This doctrine of demons
Has sent billions to Hell
They trusted in their baptism
And so they fell

A display of Popery
Devoid of all truth
Those who follow it
Accept a doctrine most uncouth

Baptism is a mere symbol
It does not regenerate
This Satanic ritual
Christ does hate

Let us consider the Papist
Oh the truth he must twist

The Romish church is apostate
Doctrine they do fabricate

Their beloved Magisterium
Belongs in a sanitarium

They worship Mary and the saints
Practicing idolatry that taints

Their pope sits on a throne of sin
He let the Devil in

Their blasphemous mass
I must pass

Their popes are not infallible at all
They all will fall

Come out of her my people
Though you may be feeble

Repent and believe the gospel today
You will soon be on your way

Depart the church of Rome
Thus ends my poem

Spread the gospel
Near and far
Use a boat, plane, and car

We are all sinners
Condemned to a spiritual death
We’d be in Hell with our last breath

But there is Good News
Christ died for all men
His blood can wash us there and then

Let everyone hear
The Good News
It is God Who will choose

Faith comes by hearing
God’s Word
Our soul is stirred

Before the world’s foundation
God chose His Elect
They may not be who you expect

Repentance and faith
Are gifts from the Lord
We are not saved by our own accord

The Holy Spirit
Quickens our soul to our elation
We are a new creation

Thank God
For His effectual calling
Without it we’d all be perishing

Christ’s active obedience
Made salvation a possibility
He hung on Calvary to set men free

Preach the gospel boldly
It is Christ’s command
This He does demand
