241001 The Price

 The Price

Oh, look at that. It's very nice
Wonder, can I afford the price
Yes, it's exactly as I fear
The cost of it is way too dear

The price of everything's gone up
From what we wear to what we sup
And even when a price seems fair
Can't buy it if money's not there

Yes, everything costs more indeed
Gets harder to buy what we need
Each transaction extracts a fee
As saying goes: nothing is free

Yet, our salvation's a free gift
Our Savior paid the price for it
He paid in full sin's staggering cost
With death and suffering on the cross

Accept eternal life for free
It's given through the Lord's mercy
Yet, if we do, there's still a price
To live for Christ costs sacrifice 

For though Christ paid for all our sins
And final battle Jesus wins
The devil still roams on the earth
And he knows what salvation's worth

And since his way is to deceive 
He'll lie so others don't believe
Christ paid the price for everyone
His final words on cross, " It's done"

For those whose home is paradise
We'd gladly pay whatever price
And then, in turn reap revenues 
For spreading gospel of Good News

Dear Christ, I know the price you paid
So I will live for you each day
For, oh how richly I've been blessed
This life with you, Lord, is priceless

240129 Feelings

Feelings Oh, those pesky feelings How they do get in the way I really don't feel like Doing anything today  I'm not really feeling it Is something I might say When adult responsibility  Is simply what's at play  I'll do that later on, perhaps When I feel in the mood And so put off important things  And not do things I should  My feelings can be fickle things One moment up; next down Can walk around with smiling face Which quickly turns to frown Too often, I give up control  To other's words and deeds Allowing feelings to be hurt And anger to proceed  And oh, how Satan loves to use Emotions that I feel To have me buy into his lies Believing they are real Then, acting on those feelings Oh, so quickly, without thought Bypassing close analysis  Not acting as I ought Of course, God gave us feelings We are not just some A.I. For suppressing all emotion  Is like living in a lie But balance between heart and mind Is how we hold the key To living with...

240125 Let Others Do It

Let Others Do It Don't really want to put self through it And so I'll just let others do it I'm certain it's too hard for me Sure others can more easily  Don't want to put the effort in Thus, wait for others to begin Not my responsibility  So, really don't depend on me No interest in taking the lead So, wait for others to proceed Though help is needed for a task Don't have the time, so please don't ask Need someone to sit on committee  Look anywhere, but don't look at me I have no interest in the least Besides, don't have the expertise  Ever notice when there's work to do It's often left to just a few The others somehow must be lead Or they'll just stand around instead Perhaps they are a lazy lot  That might be true, but it might not For certainly, there's those that shirk Responsibility and work For some, it's lack of confidence  So initiating makes them tense A fear that they may not succeed Disables them, so don't proce...
