Look, O wretched man,
How you’ve hindered God’s plan! From the beginning of time, Who knew you’d become slime? From the dust you were born, From God’s bosom you’d be torn. Now the entire human race, Is in a state of utter disgrace!
The devil would lie in wait, And you would fall for his bait. Yes, he did lie and he did cheat, It was his ultimate plan of deceit, To steal, to kill and to destroy. It was his trick, a real clever ploy, To put you completely out of the game, So that your life he would eventually claim.
So, in suffering and strife, And in the loss of a life, The world now mourns in pain, Seeking solace once again. What can be the cure, To heal hearts that are sore? What remedy is there, That will eliminate hatred and fear?
There is only one answer, To eradicate the disease of sin’s cancer, Which God in His unconditional love, Sent, by His grace, from heaven above. In the personal image of His Son, Was this redemptive act done, To set everyone free, From sin’s cruel penalty.
Now although Christ bridged the gap, Today He still gets a bad rap. Though He gives us a free gift, From Him many still drift. Satan still blinds the eyes, Of those who are worldly and wise. Yet it will be to their shame, If they don’t call on Christ’s name
Yet Jesus still calls, Out to each sinner who falls. His arms are open wide, Inviting each one inside, To escape the fiery flames of hell, And with Him eternally dwell. ~© 2008 Michelle Antoinette James ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |  A great job, a fine car;
How popular you are! Women at your beck and call, Ego makes you stand so tall! Remember: pride goes before a fall...
You take, not give; What a life you live! Selfishness reigns supreme, In your heart you’re really mean! Remember: what you sow, you glean...
Death comes, too soon; You thought you were immune! Your wealth and riches are no more, Your eternal future's not secure.
Remember: God’s judgment gavel strikes for sure... ~© 2008 Michelle Antoinette James ~

 The earth is wracked with its own pain Its unstable weather, no-one can explain Catastrophes occur daily and can be seen all around Affecting the air, the sea and the ground.
A sudden earthquake could shake the land A tsunami wave could cause sinking sand A tornado could quickly and spontaneously form Into a powerful and destructive windstorm.
Hurricane force winds could cause buildings to fall Floods could break levees and crash over walls An abundance of heat and no rain leaves a famine Wild fires can be ignited by one strike of lightning.
A snowfall could result from a blast of cold air Which could also cause hail, sleet and ice to appear Natural disasters just don’t seem to make sense And they continue to baffle the world of science.
