Sabbath Morning Rap Sequence 1

Learn not too late to halt the hate,
Bound to be ground in the dust of disgust
We're pierced and fierce, fulla rings and things
We're blued and tatooed and God is booed.

Crude dudes are misconstrued
with actions vulgar,vile and lewd.
We're found down ground in sound,
totally tatooed in terrible taste,
in a mindless race for the loudest base.

Hate to dis your myth but God exists,
'Tis a truth deduced by the less obtuse,
You understand He did become man
For His love of us all because of the fall.

He suffered and died being crucified,
He pulled His people from the pains of hell
and rose from the dead He's alive and well,
I tell you no lie He's got no rival,
It's right there written in the holy Bible.

He arose to heaven so to send the Spirit
to His brothers and sisters who wished to hear it,
He said I leave you my Love I leave you my all
but you gotta say yes to heed my call.

Don't follow the world that ain't the place,
You want to be with Me when you finish this race,
Orphans you're not  you have been taught,
I will help you find Me if I'm sought.
                  
                       Amen

Oops! I almost forgot to congratulate you, Robert, on having your wise poem featured this week. (I must have been distracted by the first ever End Line Word member contest (my first sponsored contest…See my blogs for information.) So many young men are caught up in a world of competition and hate. Words like these need to be spread. (My son just joined the US Air Force. I worry.) Anyway, I wanted to congratulate you before this week features are posted. So, Congratulations!!! Smiles, Dane Ann

Robert, I cannot understand anyone that has ever read the Bible not finding truth. It is what I try to start my day on. Man does not live by bread alone but by every word of God. Thanks for your appreciated comments. God Bless with your writing endeavors. Ron

I so much enjoyed this writting. In the world inwhich we are now living it seems that America and the world has forgot the true meaning of life. Your words spoke to me, and it is so wonderful to know there are people standing for God and His love, and to speak out against hate, and wrong. I truly pray that God will continue to bless you and your writings. Thanks so much for posting this, and sharing. Wendell. Loved the message.
