Commit
6-29-15


Commit your works to the Lord
and your thoughts will be established
O keep and watch your soul, your life
No need for gin or scotch
No need for the pocket knife
I used to cut open heavy boxes
But as of now I'm among wild foxes
Bearing seed for sowing shall doubtless come again
With rejoicing for my sparrow on my west wall
She sings to entertain all kindred spirits
One that is slow to anger
Is better than one mighty
As he that rules his spirit
Is better than he that takes a city....










Highway Of The Upright
6-29-15


Pride goeth before destruction
And a haughty spirit before a fall
Stop here for awhile and ask God for a spirit of stupor
Not with doubtful disputations
The highway of the upright is to depart
Who could have said it any better than thou art
For a throne established by righteousness
And another deadly shopping cart
A plea from the persecuted
I awoke in stupor
But I had the will to begin again
Waiting for the morning
If you, Lord should mark iniquities
O, Lord could you stand....










Special Treasure
6-29-15


Outside in the distance a lion roared
Inside in meanness
I purchase as much fruit as I can afford
By the froward of the son's strife
And the whisperer and the slanderer
I'll never get bored
Pride is a source of anger
According to the word of the Lord
As pride goeth before destruction
And a haughty spirit before a fall
God chose Israel for his special treasure
And as his own possession
According to the true God
Contrasted from idols
And this beautiful obsession....










Seek Love
6-29-15


Help me in my weakness
Abide with me in my meekness
I still don't know what it is that I done wrong
The heart of the wise teaches his mouth
And add learning to his lips
We fight evil but still walk the same
Excellent speech, our truth active
Listening at the ticket booth
Pray to talk of this while yet in youth
To cover transgression and seek love
To repeat the matter and separate friends
Reproof enter a wise man
More than a hundred stripes onto a fool
And we can plainly state
That trouble is the tool...










Ramathaimzophim
6-29-15


Of Ramathaimzophim of Mount Ephraim
Hannah was barren and Peninnah was fertile
Soon I will be gone
In Shiloh we sacrifice yearly
To Hannah a double portion
He loved her even when the Lord shut up her womb
For Ramathaimzophim I feel myself from within
Another Wednesday study
I had to leave the Baptist church
But I forgot just why
Weighing and judging ones ephod and ones tunic
Today I'm in and out of stupor
Like the battles of the Punic
Hannah conceived and called the son Samuel
Eli marked her mouth
As by the Lord all actions are weighed....
