SEX WITHOUT SIN
Puberty had me chasing things
I never should have chased
My sexual drive was stuck on high
With lust my flesh embraced
Consensual was the only rule
I ever understood
Safety never crossed my mind
Sex was just that good
Then I heard about the fate
That whoremongers receive
And saw myself enroute to hell
With Jimmy, Hank and Steve
How could I get turned around
Please help me God I cried
Abstinent is how I'll be
Don't let me take this ride
A woman's meant for so much more
And now I understand
Your way is the only way
That makes a man a man
Right then I felt the cleanliness
Forgiveness always brings
And knew if I'd be having sex
There'd definitely be some strings
Like a honeymoon with two I do's
That's how I will begin
For now I know the greatest sex
Is minus any sin.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 21:8
BUSY ADO, KEEPS US FROM YOU!!!
Weary at night we sure might be
If we feel we have failed Thee
A schedule so full with much ado
Kept us away from devotions and You
Forgiveness now we sure do ask
Failure and dismay, please don't last
We close our eyes and fall asleep
Peace for us He gives, we seek
We promise tomorrow we'll find time
In a quiet place, search The Divine
A job, two children, a party to go
Such an honor, these people to know
When at last our head does rest
Upon our pillow we did our best
To bring a bonus from those we work
We'll try at morning with coffee's perk
Day after day we follow this routine
Hustle and bustle, a busy scene
The Savior stands, oversees our strife
And we want our name in the Book of Life?

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and
hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I
will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what
hour I will come upon thee.
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not
defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white:
for they are worthy.
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of
life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and
before his angels.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
the churches
Revelation 3:3-6
ETERNAL LOVE (aka BLESSED BELIEVER)
"I pray to You, Lord Jesus
Submitted by Catherine Jean Riley
On this night unlike another
I pray that You will listen
Please hear these words I utter
My fragile heart is broken Lord
I beg You please to heal me
I beg You for some comfort
Perhaps, a little sympathy
I am but a chosen child
Abandoned here on earth
Left to fight this battle
Against satan's vile curse
At times I fight as a warrior
At times a little girl
At times I wish to flee
This evil, ill-begotten world
My time is running out I fear
Lord Jesus, don't condemn me
My mortal state, this human form
Is all that You beget me"
"I am here, My darling child
I hear your heartfelt pleas
I feel your pain and comfort you
For you are dear to Me
I'm never far away, My love
You fight no wars alone...
When its your time, I'll be there
To bring you to My home
Beloved one, listen closely
As I must have you know
The pain you feel, you'll survive
And from this pain, you'll grow
You'll not become consumed with hate
Nor will you breed contempt
You'll not pursue ill doings
Nor condemn those whom pain sent
You will live on in your purpose
And fulfill My dream for you
You will hold My word within your heart
Until your time is through
Know, you never walk alone
For I am always near
Know that when you think of Me
Your thoughts are what I hear
And loved one, know I've not forgot
And I forgive when you think you can't do
My darling blessed believer
I've eternal love for you.
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying,
Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Jeremiah 31:3
