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
