CS LEWIS CAME TO GOD

 

CS Lewis came to God

The long way round

But because of this

His faith was sound

 

And he knew the truth,

He called Christ’s birth

The central event

In the history of the earth

FORGIVENESS

 

I find it hard to forgive

But we are taught we must

To be a good Christian

We must first forgive others

Before God can forgive us

But I find it hard to forgive

I cannot let go the bitterness

Or it’s associated baggage

The betrayal of those I thought friends

The deceit of family

The put downs and the knocks

The adversities and animosities

I cannot make that commitment to forgive

All I can do is promise to try

Try to climb that ladder of forgiveness

One painful rung at a time

And if I do succeed

In becoming a better person

A more forgiving person

If I manage to slowly climb the ladder

And earn Gods forgiveness

I will only do so with His grace

And not by some sweaty effort on my part

RELIGIOUS SHIT MAN

 

Religions of the World can tell us many things

Words of wisdom for all from paupers to kings

For example, wise Confucius say, "shit happen"

Mormons think shit happens again & again

Buddhists ask if shit happens, is it really shit?

Catholics believe if it happens, they deserve it

Unitarians ask what’s all this shit? how very sage

Islam dictates if shit happens, take a hostage

 

Zen wondered about the sound of shit happening?

Krishna’s sing shit happens rama rama ding ding

Jews ask why does shit always happen to me?

Taoism tells us that “shit happens” don’t you see?

All this shit has happened before the Hindus say

For Seventh Day Adventists it happens Saturday

Protestants say you get rid of shit with hard work

The Rastafarians just smoke the shit and smirk

 

 

CHRIST THE REDEEMER

 

Christ the redeemer

He died on the cross

He died to save us

And His majesty

Made of the world

A place of hope

A place of grace

A place of freedom

A place of love

He called us from the darkness

Into His loving light

 

YESHUA (JESUS)

Yeshua, you are

Our hope of salvation

Dying for us

Our hope of glory

Living in us

 

Yeshua, you are

Our hope for the future

Living for you

Our hope for redemption

Alive in you

 

FAITH IS LIKE # 2

 

Faith is like electricity

You can’t see it

But you can see the light

That emanates from it

NO MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE

 

There is a famous quote about God 

Not giving you more than you can handle

Well there are times that I just wish

He didn't have quite so much faith in me
