My Christian Faith

Our freedoms are slowly eroding as each day goes by,
Our government will never be happy till they own the whole pie.
They want us to be loyal servants that never oppose,
Turn a deaf ear or blind eye and accept whatever they propose.

The hate crime takes away from certain things our Bible objects to,
Certain moral issues the Bible condemns they say now are alright for you to do.
How can one fully practice what God commands,
When quoting from the Bible your government has the right to reprimand ?

The Bible has been around longer than our country has and has been our constant guide,
Our forefathers followed its word back before we lost our national pride.
Freedom of religion as long as it’s not Christianity I guess is okay,
At least that is the way it works and looks nowadays.

Christians are still the majority in this land I still hold so dear,
But we seemed to have lost our backbone and I wonder what it is we fear?
Public offices and public schools have banned Gods word and I don’t understand.
Now look at all the killings in schools across our land.

In a way I am glad the years I have left may be only a few,
And I will serve my Lord daily in the things I say and do.
And I will stand up for my country but it will come second to my God,
For His Word is my Comfort, my Staff, and my Rod.

Lost Sheep

try to picture yourself as a sheep

 you're  in the meadow where the grass is dry, patchy and bare
you turn around and see that the other sheep are no longer there,
maybe they were thirsty and went to find a brook
so you take a wander to go and have a look,
you come to a stream and see the sheep on the other side
but you carn't get across as the stream is far too wide,
you begin to wonder what you will do
then a voice comes out of the blue
" do not fear don't dispare I will help you get over  there"
then a kind man appeared out of no where,
he gently carries you across to where the pastures are green
and the other sheep asks "where you have been?"
I was in the meadow I was lost and all alone
then the kind mans voice said
"my lost sheep welcome home"

we  are like the lost sheep but we no longer have to wander around alone
for the Lord is the good shepherd who always brings his lost sheep back home. I once was 
lost but now I am found Amen.

Another

Here I stand once again, in a temporary state of 
lucidity.
vivid,  and clear Is this mental panoramic vista
So I know I have times before been in this vascinity
Of this chaotic interlude in my minds.hurricane,  
vortex,  cypher,  twister.

Forever debating rather I'm deep n Still water
If I'm lost in ever thought engaging rebuttal
Maybe I'm not that far off Just little out of order
I'm I really this soulful or am I squatting in a puddle?

Have I loved and lost or Just lost love
I ran with the ball or was I Just knocked down
I believe in righteousness, I see nothing above
Why do we swim Destin to drown?

Why Do we give are life's away
Chasing things That once Were free
How can heiarchy coexist with a better day
Why do we all know,  but refuse to see?

When did we become fearful silent peaple
Why did we take the volume of are voice down
Why is their certain types for certain steeples
When did we decide to let this stick around.

When did Americans become afraid to put the foot 
down.
and sale out our ethics for are children's futures
Only to be made a fool with earnings took and worked 
till we are put in the ground
Since when are we tourist in corporate cultures.

Are we now men instead of American
Are we on the same team on common land
Anser with honesty and hear your seraphim
And then tell yourself the truth of the Lamb.


Panic

jolt out of bed at 3 in the morning, my little voice screaming
WHERE AM I?
the reflection in the bathroom mirror is hazy
WHO AM I?
half of my brain sends a message and the other half denies it
wash your face, it will calm you down
NO! you will drown
cry it out like you usually do
NO! you will not be able to breath and turn blue
go outside for fresh air
it is summer and humid, ahhh more dispair
i feel lost my mind is not in control
I AM lost, i have lost my soul
i cannot handle myself, WHY?
my only outlet is to die...
what is happening am i insane?
how did this happen?
i know there is no one to blame...
i fell asleep perfect...and know i don't recognize
it all seems different...Am i in disguise?
i can't even snap myself into reality
am i dying?  i feel alone and confused
it isn't even a dream that i can shake
so i prayed hard, MAY THE LORD, MY SOUL TAKE
im still here, just scared of the next time
i cannot help but think, will i sink deeper or will i be just fine
my only consolation is my faith in the LORD
i live by him, like some live by the sword...

Material Wealth

I've no money in my pocket
not even one thin dime,
and I don't have an address
I can say is really mine.

I'm living in a mission
where the homeless come to stay.
I don't even own a suitcase
what else is there to say?

But I'm living by God's mercy
for He supplies my every need.
At one time I was a rich man
but I gave in to greed.

I lost my wife and family
then I lost my freedom, too.
When there was simply nothing left
God said,"I'll deal with you."

He sent me on a journey
like I've never had before.
And when it's finally over
I'll be welcomed at His door.

I Stand I Pray

I stand in solitude, I stand and pray,
That righteous men will not allow God’s Word to be cast away.
I stand in solitude, I stand and pray,
That virtuous women will not falter, will not stray.

I raise my hands, I give praise and thanks to my Lord,
I shout hallelujah even when times are extremely hard.
For it is these trials and tribulations that make us strong,
And it is our faith in His word that shows us where we belong.

All else may fail but His word is always true,
And a light to guide both me and you.
Our world has become so wicked, so evil, and a shameful place,
In dire need of our Heavenly Father and His loving grace.

Lord have mercy and forgive those and their wanton ways,
And put forth those with Your word to teach what You have to say.
For there are many who are lost and just need to hear,
Let Your voice be heard and Your intentions made clear.

As I stand in solitude knowing my prayers are heard,
I pray those that are lost seek out Your word.
May your word cover us like snow from an avalanche from a mountain side,
And cling to us forever so that in Your heart we will always reside.


This Is the Day'

Today is the day that I give thanks to God.
He has blessed my wife and I, with His reassuring nod.
We have had financial problems, sort of speak,
because of our faith, are thought process is not weak.

My wife has decided to take a lay off,
The boss was terrible and to him in the long run it will have a tremendous cost.
Finding out that doing someone wrong, he will regret,
Because loyalty is hard to find in this day and age, and he'll simply not forget.

My wife is a caring, loving, responsible employee, and was his friend.
She tried to do her job for the homeless, and was tossed out in the end.
Making her take less hours, and being a assistant to a underling.
To a man who had did her job while she was recovering, and knows absolutely 
nothing.

Her boss was wrong in his mind set, he really has lost,
His vision, knowledge, making this a very bad mistake at a heavy cost.
His reports, his employee, his friend, has made him very unsure,
When he finds out his office manager is not a real cure.

The loyalty shown to someone who worked for him for five years.
Will come back to haunt him, that is what the wife fears.
He'll find he not only lost a loyal friend, employee,
But the friendship for the ages, a loyal heart, will ultimately make him see.

That this was a tactical  mistake, listening to new employees,
He lost a true treasure, loyalty is hard to come by for you or me.
So my wife, who feels bad for him, and has no anger, she actually will forgive,
She knows he'll regret this, and prays for him, her heart will continue to trust Jesus 
and will happily live.

Look To the Rock of Ages (Partial Version Part Two)

It is written,perversion can breed more perversion
nevertheless,lead the way, ya'll of the correct Conversion.
Watch, lest we become satan's catch of the day,
all because we followed the rest on their dark way
Light the path for a lost and wandering pilgrim, 
and ,could be, their misery, you may just dim
beaming as a strong pillar or as a tree planted by the sea
because of Jesus and because of thee
or as a  bridge over many troubled waters for those 
to pass to the good side because of your generosity
Saving them out of the fire,although being quite leary
 to even touch their tainted garments
because of Ya'lls Faith...
and beyond what ya'll see, hear, feel, or think
our journey's into Christ's realm ,where He is the link,
and that is why Serpent Venom , we ought not to drink
lest we become like them and we lose our power to think
then become spiritually dead, and produce a powerful stink
Let us not aim to build our houses upon the sand, but rather...
look to the Rock of Ages who came before us in this Land

In this topsey turvey world,
there can be many harms,
but why not use your Godly gifts,
to cure with some of your charms.
Satan is a sheep stealer,a con-wheeler and dealer
he wants you down, he wants your crown!
follow him and you will frown,follow him and you will drown.
23,000 souls were swallowed up by the earth,
when the Lord split it open,
for they had lost their faith 
and they needed some serious soapin'
Let us not aim to build our houses upon the sand, but rather...
look to the Rock of Ages who came before us in this Land

Amazing Grace Again

I am afraid
I’ve made a mistake
I’ve turned when I should have stayed
I need You Lord
I’m lost in this wood
And I know I’m easy prey
It’s all my fault
I lost my way
I was too busy to hear You speak
Oh, I need You, Lord
I’m so far from home
And I feel that I’m going to fall
I’m stopping here
I’ll wait for Your mercy
Though I know it’s not deserved
You’ll take my hand
And lead me back
You’ve done it before that’s how I know
I’m sorry Father
I’ve erred again
What a reckless daughter I am
But amazing Grace
I feel Your hand
 And it’s love that carries me home

Familiar Questions

Have you ever had a broken heart?
Have you ever had to go back to start?
Have you ever made a big mistake?
Was it someone else’s heart you did break?
Have you ever thought about your life?
Have you ever thought you lost the fight?
Have you ever wanted something more?
Have you ever lost someone you loved before?
Have you ever wondered if God was there?
Have you ever wondered if anyone cared?
Have you ever wanted to take your life? 
Have you ever, by Satan, been stabbed with a knife?
Have you ever just wanted to let it go?
Have you ever kept a secret you wanted someone to know?
I know I have and I know you have too
Because this is life, something we all go through.
But we have someone much bigger than us
To pick us up when we fall and to wipe off all the dust.
He holds our hands and never lets go
He sent His son to die is what His love shows.
So take His hand and never let go
And give Him your life, for your love for Him, it will show.

Iv'E Been Lost In the Valley For Far To Long

Iv'e been lost in the valley for far to long

Written By Dean Masciarelli

January 17, 2010 (7:46pm)



I’ve been lost in the valley for far to long

And I have struggled to get by

And life just hasn't been that gentle with me

And lately nothing has been easy

Because every day has been a challenge

And everything that could go wrong has gone wrong

But I know in my heart that a time will come

When I can no longer carry these burdens of mine

That angels will intervene

In the good Lords time and not in my own

As they always have before and they will again

Because they have never turned away from me

Nor have they forsaken me when I truly needed a helping hand
