GOODNESS BRAVERY AND GRATITUDE
by Tom Zart THE KING OF CHRISTMAS The son of God came down to earth To be our Lord by divine birth. Born to a virgin in a stable He lie Destine to lead, teach, suffer and die. Satan transformed from laughter to rage When Christ arrived to destroy man's cage. A never ending chance to redeem our soul A new opportunity to achieve God's goal. Evil doers hate the birth of God's child They love what is immoral, wicked and wild. Degrading Christmas wherever they can Jealous of the joy and rapture of man. Hallelujah Jesus the king of Christmas night With a star for his crown bathed in holy light Christ is our savior who leads by trust and love Delivering us from Satan to the grace of God Above. PLEASING GOD Lots of us wish to please God But we really don't know how. His ways are higher than our ways Because we're wicked, weak and foul. God works according to His schedule Which sometimes is a problem for man. His love, grace, wisdom and understanding Keep believers obedient to command. We have no choice but to obey Following His Holy Spirit and Word. By living to conform to His righteous Our passage to glory is assured. We see God's works in the lives of others How exciting and fascinating it is. God can do the same for us as well As our purpose becomes the same as "His." GOODNESS BRAVERY AND GRATITUDE What would you say if God asked you Like Joshua to lead many others? Like Daniel, Paul, David and Moses And so many sisters and brothers. Might you wonder who am I To follow in the footsteps of Moses? Bravery thrives on precious assurance As the waters of God beckon the roses. While earthly trials test our faith and resolve Remember they're never everlasting. Caught in the crossfire for the soul of man As the weapons of war do their casting. Grab your Bible and research some stories To share with loved ones or friend. Help lead them to the mansion of God Where the spirits of the righteous ascend. Stand proud and preach for the Grace of God If you wish to relay your gratitude. Set an example for those who follow By your goodness, bravery and attitude. THE POWER Of COURAGE Besides loving God, we need courage Obeying His laws requires bravery. For the power of sin is always festering As evil condemns man's soul to slavery. God travels with us inside our spirit Forewarning that which is right or wrong. Satan tags along tempting our resolve Spreading his doctrine by video and song. God promises to defeat our enemies If we retain faith and observe His rules. We'll still face battles to preserve our soul As we endure the blindness of fools. All of Gods heroes depend on courage To overcome the dilemmas of strife. God wants us to follow in His footsteps As we practice His majesty of life. LONELY WOMAN Loneliness had me almost persuaded To let my loyalty and favor stray But I thought of you and our children Then decided instead to pray. For so long you've labored on the railroad Called away any hour night or day. Many times in the night when there's thunder I awake as in anguish and loneliness I lay. When our children cry out, "where's daddy?" I remind them you operate a train. While my main concern is your safety And will you return to us the same? I know you're a hard working Christian man And it's not your fault you're always away. I composed this poem to express my need As for your love and tenderness I pray. I love you more than words can express As we solder our burdens as husband and wife. We can't help but be human and make mistakes As we journey the struggles of life. Our challenges are many and vary greatly Raising children in earth's ungodly throng. Jesus never vows to remove all difficulty Only His wisdom to endure what's wrong. Let God take the weight of our burdens We were never meant to endure alone. He will never bend us, break us or destroy us As the seeds of His splendor are sown.
