what are you afraid of?
and why are you afraid?
didn't God your heavenly Father say. . .
He doesn't give you the spirit of FEAR
so why are you
why are you
denning HIS words
God doesn't lie
But Satan does
why are you troubled about
things in North Korea
why are you bothered about guns in the city streets
just got the word
from the doctor stage 3 cancer
Oh NO, NO, NO
What now
some churches say,
you're not saved unless you do they way
but the last time I look in the book
Salvation not denominations
Just stop, turn around, be sincere, repent
Talk to Jesus tell Him your sorrow and that you regret
turn around your though processes
and be sincere and belief in His death, burial and resurrection
My body gonna go back to the ground
My body gonna turn to dust
But my true life, my intellect my spirit, my soul
Gonna go back to, go back to God
what are you afraid of?
and why are you afraid?
didn't God your heavenly Father say. . .
He doesn't give you the spirit of FEAR
so why are you
why are you
denying HIS words
God doesn't lie
But Satan does
Thy good and faithful, servant
one in whom the pastor and congregations trust you
but you fled, before you lead you just ran away
in a backsliding condition you away
and when it's all said and done
all the haters and even all your loved ones
Go to God He's the only one who can save you
and give you eternal peace and love
Gonna go back to, go back to God
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go back, gonna go back to God
Back to the Lord
My body gonna go back to the ground
My body gonna turn to dust
It's only in Jesus who I should trust
But my true life, my true self, my intellect my spirit, my soul
Gonna go back to, Gonna go back to, Gonna go back to, Gonna go back to,
go back to God
Repented, received, forgiven and believed and received I am going back...
Gonna go back
Go Back to God

Key Verse – Luke 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR AVENGING ME
Thank You for avenging me, Your own elect by Your grace
In my cry for Your help to protect me with Your truth-brace

In my plea for Your aid toward faithful conversion
Against backsliding-corruption…
You alone can rescue me from transgressions’ destruction.

In my prayer for Your guidance of divine grant
Against defiance that displeases You, my Master-Commandant…
You alone can direct me toward what You perfectly want.

In my request for Your training of caring regard
Against stubbornness I should ward off though it’s hard…
You alone can mold for faithfulness’ reward.
Thank You for avenging me, Your enlightened student
In my need to learn from Your, indeed heavenly sent
Against failure due to foolishness-ignorance whereto I’m bent…
You alone can teach me with Your truth of no falsity-dent.
Thank You for avenging me, Your earnest believer
In my supplication for Your increase to my faith as humble receiver
Against doubts and disobedience wrought by evil deceiver…
You alone can instruct me well since You are the supreme law Giver.

Beholding bountiful compassion-blessings of God* beyond bankruptcy…
Brothers and sisters, let’s be braced-up, becoming better
bouncing against bitterness borne by crises’ bondage
breaking free from backsliding midst burdens
built-up now: healed heart, soul and body
bowing to the Saviour Lord, blissful
beckoned toward hope’s beam.
Bestowed with bread and butter from the Creator’s barns …
Beloved, let’s share, battling against selfishness’ bouts
Blowing away boastfulness in stewardship business
beautified along faith-blooms of love’s benefits
buttressed upon biblical belief
besieged by divine boldness
bringing service best.
*2Samuel 22:47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
