Precious worth yon celestial treasure…
such is worshipping the Lord*, exalting His name
the Creator Who remains immutable
along His resplendent holiness
of radiant majesty
assuring mankind's eternal salvation.
Divine intimacy with the sovereign King…
such enthralls heart
in worshipping God Almighty
ruling by His infallible wisdom
vanquishing deception, doubt and despair
while guarding faith with heaven-sealed truth.
Gratitude grips the soul
such resounds in worshipping the Saviour
reaching mankind with His compassion
offering grace, mercy and peace
rescuing from sins’ guilt and wrath of hell
toward sharing His gift of love.
*Psalms 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

History of a country
Will not be copyright
And forced to make an alteration
Whenever a big mistake is found
As it's so controversial
But the words of God are flawless and copyright
We can't change them
Neither the words nor the meanings
Don't ever misread and misinterprete them
Follow the words and teachings of God sincerely
Sincerity deep in the heart and soul
Is better than
Worshipping with ignorance or careless interpretation
Sometimes people like to change their meanings
Because of greeds and selfishness
Until they forget
God's words are copyright forever
Now an avocado
Is more precious than
An apple
But not in the childhood days
We knew only an apple
The first English word we learnt
The first picture we drew
The fruit mum used to pray to her god
The fruit she handed to us
After worshipping for 15 days
We only learnt that
An apple is soft
But not brittle
An apple has a flat smell
But not a fragrant smell
Now I have an avocado
I won't ask for more
But I won't ever forget
The hand
which handed me
A red apple
I have to worship God you said
And away you went, where He was
In a building with stained glass windows
Is He only there for you? Sad really.
I am enjoying His outdoors, loving His horizon.
Basking in His sun, enthusiastic about His new day.
He is everywhere I look, and I look everywhere.
Seeing Him in tiny purple violets and yellow dandelions.
His trees are glittering with possibilities.
His stream is full of tiny minnows that struggle upstream.
I hear something, and listen harder. Is it one of His deer?
I see the flash of a white tail.
I am loving my day. I sing no hymns, but my heart is on fire.
My eyes are full of gratitude and I am hugging wildflowers.
His world is showing me how to worship Him.
I need no building with stained glass windows.
In worshipping the Lord, we exalt His name*
As the Creator Who remains immutably the same
Along His resplendent holiness’ fame
Around brightening majestic flame
Amidst our assured salvation-claim!!!
In worshipping the Lord, we extol His sovereignty
As the Leader Who exercises supreme authority
Along His infallible wisdom’s infinity
Around unending ages toward eternity
Amidst our heaven-sealed security!!!
In worshipping the Lord, we expose His compassion
As the Saviour Who cares with merciful devotion
Along His ready pardon’s provision
Around redeeming sacrifice-function
Amidst our hell-rescued soul’s condition!!!
*Isaiah 25:1 O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

True Christians
Are we who
who we are Christ like
after physical life's gone
and we alone shall praise Him
worshiping and praising God with spiritual hymns
around His glorious throne
walking together on streets of gold
worshiping and praising God with spiritual hymns

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2018©
People in the Bible worshipped idols time and time again.
They did it even though doing so was a terrible sin.
People once worshipped Baal, it was one of the idols.
People refused to worship God even though it was vital.
When God saw people worshipping idols, it really angered him.
They had to suffer the Lord's wrath when he punished them.
Some of those people's cities were destroyed and some became slaves.
Worshipping idols was a stupid and shameful way for them to behave.
Some people still have idols, one of which is movie stars.
Jehovah God is watching, he knows who these people are.
The Lord is the only one who people should idolize.
If you worship him, it is a decision that is very wise.
Religion a process of mysterious blunder for worshipping,
trying to control human mind with what power for crippling?
on the name of God a spiritual flame what do we practice?
we challenge the values for welfare for mankind to apply mess.
but people believe in ghosts or devils for better living standard,
to live in pain; to teach others jealous or hate for wondered.
Tonight I feel inspired.
A fires ignited in me.
I had a good outpouring of God.
from my troubles have been set free.
I Love the peace that Jesus gives.
when I cry and He knows my heart.
I utter not a human word.
But my soul it does its part.
The holy spirit gives me peace.
That no mortal man can do.
Jesus sent it back to us.
to comfort me and you.
The times I stumble and I fell.
The Fathers had mercy on me.
He loves and cares for everyone.
He gave His son, to set men free.
