Romans 3:10 There is no one doing what is right not even one
To my children and grandchildren,
Ask God to help you forgive.
When you experience hate or hurt any day.
Human pride hates to admit,
That we are a "Fleshy Mess!"
Watch the news there's nothing to guess.
We are made to be like our Creator,
Designed for caring and love.
That's why we must cast our eyes above.
Countless times I've been hurt and

God Justifies The Ungodly - Romans 3: 21-31
All have sinned and without excuse
having missed God's glory by a mile
how can they meet God's demand
perfect righteousness is no single isle
God's grace comes to rescue mankind
teaching their real need to take away sin
sending Jesus to be the perfect substitute
taking our sins on Himself so we can enter in
Jesus became our propitiation by His blood
so

Clash of Civilisation
The Mesopotamians,
The birthplace of writing, building the ziggurats and palaces.
The Greeks,
Warriors and philosophers, diverse in their ways of thinking.
The Romans,
Masters of conquests and destruction.
The Egyptians,
With creative minds and architectural prowess.
All are different and diverse.
But they still all believe that they are the one.
They believe that they are the protagonists of our world.
Portraying their stories

The mind of a sinful man is death, but a life yielded to the Spirit Romans 8:6 part seven
Life Through the Spirit continued
The mind of a sinful man is death, but a life yielded to the Spirit is life and
peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law,
nor can it do so. [Hereby, the sinful mind also, does not want to submit
to God's law.]

But thanks to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly
obeyed the form of teaching to which you are now entrusted. You have been set

What shall we say, shall we go on sinning Romans 6:1 part five
Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? [Don't all you
know this because we] were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his
death? We were therefore buried with

God's Verdict On Man And His Sin - Romans 1: 21-25
Man thinks He knows God
at the same time they honour Him not
for their hearts fools darkness
reveals their futility in life so sought
They make such lavish claims
of real wisdom but become fools
this God has always known
living their man made rules
So God gave them up to sin
following their lustful willing heart
exchanging God's glory for their own
rejects the

A Living Sacrifice - Romans 12: 1-2
The apostle Paul makes this appeal
to all who were Christians at this time
they were to present themselves sacrificially
living holy lives pleasing to the divine
This was to be their spiritual worship
just as God had ordered them to be
for God looks for purity in His worship
only in His mercy can we be set free
God's message is at

The Mistake That Cost the Romans Their Empire
The Romans could have saved their empire,
If only there had been fewer forests,
For their enemies to hide in.
In open land they reined supreme,
Raging rivers they tamed,
Swamps they drained,
Deserts and mountain ranges,
They found ways to cross,
And tunneling had them at the top of their game.
With their state-of-the-art war machines,
No other army could compete,
But with Archimedes

Serenade
'Mid twilight's tapestry, hearts intertwine,
A dance of spirits' grace, a love's embrace,
Romance revealed, an ageless tale divine,
In murmured oaths, they claim their rightful space.
Beneath the crescent moon's soft argent gleam,
Their fingertips meet, igniting hidden fires,
Like fireflies that in meadows cast a dream,
Their love's pure luminescence never tires.
Through whispered secrets traded 'neath high stars,
Their faith takes

Romans Road
The starting point is one:sixteen
God’s power through faith foreseen
One:seventeen’s righteous decree
Salvation by faith is the key
Three:twenty-three indicts us all
Sin’s “glory of God” shortfall
Four:three is Abraham’s lead
Faith the only righteous deed
Five:eight provides a Substitute
Sin had left us destitute
God’s love delivered up His Son
The payment for sin is done
Sidestep death in six:twenty-three
Eternal Life in Christ is free

Day the Romans Levelled the City
The column of Romans came from the east
They mowed down our stone structures
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
We were all intimidated as the amphitheater fell
This was totally unexpected and frightening.
We ran from them for there was no choice
They had the power, and they were fierce
We were minions, who only knew tools
We did not know weaponry or

Looking After Your Brother - Romans 14: 13
God has a clear charge here in view
not always be judge over anyone ever
this is looking at persons with love
to judge wrongly ain't at all too clever
Despite all that's been said
God calls you to judge aright
with a sound mind right on cue
learn well the fall of the night
Be sure not to hold back your brother
