Song by George Jones

There is some Good News
Not to find in the news
Which loves to create division and hate
Just out to get the most ratings
All can see this world is falling fast
But we love to broadcast it
To leave one in no hope
But the good news is
This should seek one to seek for better
 Not to want to belong unto it
This world is run by the evil one
To see all the division even in churches
What happened to one spirit
Which Jesus sent to dwell within
This should bring unity
Spirit joins one with another spirit
Sees no color or religion 
I glance at all the different churches 
Only God can pull one out of it
To reveal how corrupt mankind is
Thankfully God showed me 
That my path was leading to death
I shall judge none because God saved me
And I have seen all have this hope within
It's the unseen spirits that are deceiving 
We all have to get to a point 
To say there must be something better
It's now like watching Satan running rampant
Knowing his time is short 
Trying to deceive as many to drag it out
There is great news for the ones that
Are seeking better which are tired
Of all the chaos , depression, seeing hatred
Not fitting in with this world
Which is a great thing 
We don't want to follow mankind
But through calling upon Christ
Bring division within oneself
To place the old self in the grave
No matter what this world tells one
They have no judge over the soul
Jesus came to die for sinners
To bury that old lifestyle to give a fresh start
No longer seeking to belong to this world
But seeking to be pulled out of it
Jesus said the tax collectors and prostitutes
Would enter His kingdom
For they come to an end hopefully
To see their own path is not good 
Before the self righteous
Which claims to appear good only to man
While the inside is full of corruption
God sees all my friends
Either His spirit from Christ reigns within
Or the spirit of this world evil one
I love you all and will be here
To encourage all and give support
In this battle of the unseen that's taking place 
Would be great if one could see
It's within us that needs to be destroyed
So Jesus prayer of May your kingdom
Come on earth as in heaven, this takes
The spirit of Christ available to dwell within 
Jesus loves you all and is waiting
Patiently for that one which seeks

Valsa, you have painted such beautiful pictures with your poems and the settings that you have described. You have done a wonderful job expressing your individual perspective on heaven after death and the hope that you have for it.

WoW! Stephen, I enjoyed the message in your well written and well executed poem. I agree, the “spirit “ sees no color at all. The “ good news” ( the gospel ) is the best news on earth. However, many don’t receive it. Thanks for spreading the gospel on poetry soup:-) Alexis

Hi Stephan, I’m going to read your poem but before I do is that George Jones singing? If not he sure reminds me of him.
