inspired by the Gordon Lightfoot concert here last night

What did I play at?
When was I serious?
I have buried my talent?
Gathered rust rather than interest?
A fine matter it is
To save sin sick soul
Where is my treasure?
Why not on high make it gold?
Who is my master?
Self? or the drug?
Gluttons and sinners
Were the friends of the Lord
Whom is the Master!
Just a passerby
Stay with us Jesus
Bread of Angels
Drink never run dry

from Wed. facebook rhyme

Make Up Time

A generation lost in head space

The Lord said take it at you own pace

The plan is to save the human race

Spend the hours and stare in God’s face

 

Jesus pained look hung upon a tree

Was if not for you twas it not for me

From doubt grievous error backward humanity

O glorious day I was set free

 

Another day God did not sleep low

Though Christ stooped to all below

Like a mighty convoy en route we glow

This is the Spirit’s tremendous show

 

The Church is blessed why sinner lack

To former ways please don’t come back

Satan is one small pathetic hack

Be renewed and run with that pack

Thanksgiving Suite: words with guitar chords; soon pending full piano score here!

Thanksgiving Suite

I Hallowe’en

Bo9   C-                G               E-    A-

It has been held This Holy Eve That demons come

repeat chord sequence 8X

This is not what The Church has taught But it is told

We dress as Saints Heroes goblins And as witches

Ghouls go from door To door and say Trick or treat please

Some tricks weren’t nice Soap on windows Upset outhouse

Better shell out Apples kisses And popcorn balls

It’s the story Spooks roam tonight But it’s silly

Superstitions Haunted houses Jack-o-lanterns

Sleepy Hollow Legend before The All Saints Day

Revival

Everybody has heard of King David
There isn't anyone who hasn't heard of the U. S. of A.
There is no longer a remote corner of Christendom
Unless it is what went wrong in you neighbourhood


What went wrong in David's neighbourhood
He stalked the wife of a generalissimo
His strategic politics got the man killed
The religious leader pointed out sin


You don't need to recriminate your neighbour
Our King Jesus tells us to love our enemies
The Good Samaritan is what to be
Be a friend to sinners as was the Stranger of Galilee


David did listen to his guru
He went through a lent, a penance, a conversion
He saw his royal line lead to Christ
And it is repentance that leads to revival


So if you are sorry for your sin
The Good Lord God has already forgiven
Tell your neighbour how you regale
In forgiveness there is the solution to wrong


Through the Blood of the Lamb of God
Who was taken like David took a prize lamb
I am set free revived and reeling
This new Wine of revival is coming to your neighbourhood
