Timothy is a Christian who enjoys creating visual art and writing. He has a B.S. in Psychology.

Welcome:

I’d like to welcome you back for this the 4th go round of faith based lyrics from the beach. i write a lot of my faith based poetry and lyrical poetry based on prompts from the Bible. The poems in this edition are no different. They were inspired by a certain portion of scripture. As always I hope you enjoy them and they bring you some sort of comfort in this current world we now find ourselves in. Until next time stay safe amd faithful.

The Bible says in Mark 13:35 says. “Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning.” This verse is the inspiration for these lyrics.

Urgent

Jesus is comin back

May be real soon

Could be this mornin’, evening

Or afternoon

Time is running out

Better change your tune

All you do is sit

And wait

Sayin’ you need to contemplate

Givin’ you life to him

By then it may be to late

You’re layin’ eternity

On the line

It’s urgent, so urgent

Can’t you see

So urgent

Where you gonna be

There’s no pleadin’

No pushin your case

When that comes that

You see jesus face to face

By then it’s too late

Casue you never found a place

For jesus in your heart

Don’t put his love

To the test

Because it’s not a question

Of who knows best

It’s the answer of being blessed

For all eternity

It’s urgent, so urgent

Can’t you see

So urgent

Where you gonna’ be

The prompt for this one is James 1:22, But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves

Reaction

I’ve got news for you

You can talk all you want

About lovin’ the lord

About how you spend hours

Readin’ god’s word

But if nothing changes

Deep down inside

You’re probably just

Wastin’ your time

You need

Reaction to action

Stop playin’ around

And do what you say

Reaction to action

There is no other way

I don’t think you

Fully understand

That your foundation

Is built on sinking sand

Better turn your heart

Dance to a new tune

Or you’re gonna land

In a place of your own ruin

You need

Reaction to action

Stop playin’ around

And do what you say

Reaction to action

There is no other way

All it takes is

A lttle faith

As small as a

Mustard seed

God will take care

Of the rest

He knows what you n

The prompt for this one is 2 Chronicles 20:20, "Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful."

In God We Trust

We live in a nation

Whose formation

Was credited to god

But times have changed

We have arranged

Who we thinks in charge

They say” we must separate

The church from state,

Come on let us legislate

Away god”

So they wrote a few laws

Changed this or that clause

Took god’s name outta the book

So on that one certain day

People are gonna0 here god say

You’re not in my book either

One thing they forgot to do

Take his name off the money too

Now that’s ironic don’t you think

In god we trust, there is not other way

In god we trust, turn back to him today

God wrote his book as a guide

To show that life is no free ride

We all have a price to pay

The people in our nation

Have all forgotten creation

And in the end where they will go

They look to a guy named darwin

To tell them of their origin

Nobody’s gonna make a monkey out of me

Wonder how far we have to go

Don’t think i want ot know

Before god brings this nation to an end

Prompt is Judges 6:12, “When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior."

The Warrior

Ten years of battle

Who knows how many more

The warrior will be

Fightin’ in the war

He’ll get no medals for

Bravery

Never receive a purple heart

Still you’ll never hear him

Complain about doin’ his part

But the end is sure

The victory secure

The warrior is heaven bound

Christ upon the cross was the

Moment that sealed his victory

So everyday the warrior goes

To battle down upon his knees

Firing off the shots that

Cause the enemy to run

Cause the enemy knows he can’t stand

Against the power of god’s son

But the end is sure

The victory secure

The warrior is heaven bound

One stray bullet won’t pierce

The warriors heart

Cause with god by his side

He is always on guard

Ready for the enemies sneak attacks

The warrior will never give up

He will always be fightin’ back

The end is secure

The victory sure

The warrior is heaven bound

Prompt Philippians 4:13, “I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

Inside Out

Live life from the

Inside out

Inside out

Inside out

Work is a hassle

Kids talk back to you

At the end of your rope

What do you do

The house looks a mess

Need to mop the floors

Your inlaws just knocked

On the door

Inside out, inside out

Need to live our lives

From the inside out

Cause he is greater

That is in you

Than is the world

He’ll know what to do

You can be sure

Just live inside out

Paper’s due tomorrow

Computers on the fritz

That new detergent

Really makes you itch

Got passed over for

For a promotion, again

Beed waitin for your ship

Since you don’t know hen

Inside out, inside out

Need to live our lives

From the inside out

Cause he is greater

That is in you

Than is the world

He’ll know what to do

You can be sure

Just live inside out

The idea for this comes out of the times we now live on and the need to just step back in faith and breathe.

Breathe

You’re going to be ok.

Just breathe.

The days are gonna get better

Breathe

Life moves in ups and downs

Breathe

All you gotta do is breathe

The time are getting so tough

Life is feeling so, so rough

Don’t know which way to turn

Any moment you’re gonna crash and burn

You’re going to be ok.

Just breathe.

The days are gonna get better

Breathe

Life moves in ups and downs

Breathe

All you gotta do is breathe

Breathe, Breathe in the air

Don’t be afraid let go your cares

Look to where true peace is found

Then set your feet on the solid ground

You’ll live again your soul will fly

And smiles you get, no longer cry

And all you touch and all you see

Is what your life can truly be

You’re going to be ok.

Just breathe.

The days are gonna get better

Breathe

Life moves in ups and downs

Breathe

All you gotta do is breathe
