Approved.
To our Father who art in heaven,
Please art in papers of our CVs,
Let your will be done on our applications
As it is in heaven.
Forgive us for giving up
As we forgive you for delaying us.
Deliver us from negativity
And lead us not into depression.
May we be approved,
To get jobs
To get bursaries to study,
Business loan application,
Funding application,
Internships.
As far as this hustle has a brother called Nepotism
I hope you remind it that you are the Father of all,
Those that demand blankets to aid us to rise shall fall,
Let us not pay any cent to get any cent
Today we pay with you
So, please let us be Approved.
Amen.

When she opens her mouth it is full of junk
Always telling me I owe somebody money,
Spews out circulars and advertisements
Every day, I tell you, it is not very funny.
A red flag is raised to attract my attention
The contents can be slippery like a fox,
Always standing out in front like a guard
She is my ubiquitous USPS-approved mailbox.

Living in this world as God's servant
seeking to please the creator of all
our giving must be total of one's self
nothing less is acceptable for your call
This call is divinely sent from heaven above
the triune God Himself selects His very own
for to serve their master on the highest of high
He who saved them from a heart of stone
The living God who gives His approval
to only those that give Him their best
so they've no need of being ashamed
standing tall truly passing God's test
God has given mortal men His word
the divine inerrant authoritative scriptures
this needs corrective handling throughout
for God's truth is indeed what really cures
Be faithful to the God of wonders
standing firm proving God is true
giving yourself to His perfect will
to worship Him who made you
(2 Timothy 2:15 "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a
worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.")

Wife is taking a nap wile I am keeping an
eye (.) on the turkey who can't see me.
Am a drumstick freak myself and sweet
potato. Love mincemeat pie also but no
one else does.
When Professor into room came
My life would never be the same
According to his way of thinking
We were all failing and sinking.
He seemed to be source of feud
Between positive and negative attitude
And then whole case had to rest
After seeing results of each test.
No one passed and we completely failed
Standards compared to others badly trailed
And after seeing results we hesitated
Lower your education were highly correlated.
(To being a Trump voter.)
So what it all looks like and appears
Trump voters would have fewer years
Of education then Hillary voters did
When is when we flipped our each lid.
We also found out that the prerequisite
To go to inauguration and pay a visit
Is being strange and also rather odd
Attendance was not approved by God.

Life is an adventure, a voyage to forever.
An escapade where man explores his soul,
An expedition with great risk…decisions.
A place to gamble with eternity…or not.
Speculation has grave dangers.
Search scriptures and embrace faith.
We are responsible for our choices.
Reduce risk during life’s undertaking.
Be encouraged and endeavour to choose right.
Make godly choices part of your pursuit.
Soar into forever by fulfilling life’s mission.
No need to speculate; the project was outlined.
Man’s main mission is to become like God.
We in their image were created by them.
We were taught by Jesus Christ’s example.
He overcame the grave by resurrection…for sin.
Study scriptures and choose to be faithful
And approved…at final judgement!

to study and know all about the word of God
to take the Good News, the Gospel into your heart
for you can't tell anyone about something that you don't know
and you can't take anyone to a place where you don't go
you need to know the word of God for yourself
you need to know the word of God for your spiritual health
look to Jesus Christ for your identity
look to the word of God in it is your destiny
study on the word of God and show thyself approved
for the word will help you determine in life what will be your next move
many think that everything is pre-destiny
and that the Lord God already knows what it will be
but no matter the direction or the path that we decide to take
we need to know the word of God to avoid life's little mistakes
so study on the word and divine the wisdom in it
study and meditate on the word and then embrace the Holy Spirit
let the truth in the word be your guiding light
follow the basic instructions and you will get it right
let the word be your business and the force that makes you move
study on the word of God and show thyself approved
