PLAYING WITH CLICHÉS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
recycle plastics... what goes around comes around
~~
thirty-six twenty-four thirty-six... fit as a fiddle
~~
where there's muck there's money... all that glitters isn't gold
~~
see the facts... use a mirror... don’t get your knickers in a twist
~~
speak out or... has the cat got your tongue...
~~
history... good or bad... only time will tell
~~
true love... every cloud has a silver lining
~~
how times have changed but.. opposites will always attract...
~~
mother nature begs... recycle... don’t cry over spilt milk
~~
who told that lie... all is fair in love and war
~~
don't whisper... speak up or shut up
~~
be in it to win it... a bird in the hand is worth two in a bush
~~
recycle... live long and prosper
~~
at weddings... many a true word spoke in jest... i do...
~~
if only... speak now or forever hold your peace
~~
playing with words... isn't that a cliché...

Trumpet blaring
Trumpets blaring
And angels by His side
Over 10,000 wait
In the skies
For words are given, make no plea,
In comes the
Enemy.
For a thousand may fall
But not by your side,
You who lived for the LORD
Now abide on the other side
We who served the LORD
Got caught up in the sky
But for those who knew
And received not
For those who heard
And believed not
For those who felt his pull
And did not
Waited too late and got
Caught, not.
Is it too late, what about now?
Give yourself to the LORD,
Do it now.
Before the day is spent and
Time runs out.
Shout to the LORD, please reach out.
Now you have a chance, now
You have a choice
Is this just words or
The Holy Ghost.
Speak now or forever hold your peace
GOD is watching, He says,
“My road is narrow”,
“My way is sure”
“I’m the answer”
“I’m the cure”
Seek the LORD while he maybe found.
The trumpets are sounding
for you.
I deserve the truth
no lies
bluntness
tell me that you care
this isn't fair
I deserve the warmth of affection
the climax of emotions
the embrace of intertwine souls
I deserve a heart that pounds for my passion
good or bad times
I can count on you any time
is this love such a crime
if so tell me so I can find someone that will treat me better
"so speak now or forever hold your peace"
Love is Christianity not religion
Religion is devised of mind mischief!
Love dwells not religiously in a mind of mischief
But a mind swells religiously in it’s mischief!
So renew the mind to be Love’s kind
Dwell not religiously in the mind!
Folks, Love is all the reality there is
Not of ego of mind’s show biz!
Temporal lessons of life a quiz
To teach your mind where your Love is!
Your mind displays your tree of death
And by it’s tongue accomplishes it’s quest!
Speak now or forever hold your peace
Good advice, first determine your yeast!
Is it religion or is it Love
Of the mind or of a heart of Love!
There is no power but of God’s Love............................................(c Ro. 13:1)(I john 4:8)
Love, the power of your choice, death or life!............................(c Deut. 30:19)(Pr. 18:21)
Without the very mercies of Love
Humanity never would rise above!
The being of choice, life or death
Every human being has voice of choice!
Foolish to blame a God who is Love
For the death of your very own voice!
