This Is Not America

Should GOD then reward you on your terms, 

when you refuse to repent? 

You must decide, not I; 

so tell me what you know.

~ Job 34

Love You To Life

Let the morning bring me word 

of your unfailing love,

 for I have put my trust in you. 

Show me the way I should go, 

 for to you I entrust my life.

~  Psalm 143

4th Time Around

A voice says, “Cry out.” 

 And I said, “What shall I cry?” 

“All people are like grass, 

and all their faithfulness

 is like the flowers of the field"

~ Isaiah 40 

See A Friend In Tears

Weep and wail, you shepherds; 

 roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.

For your time to be slaughtered has come; 

you will fall like the best of the rams.

~ Jeremiah 25

It's true our mirrors don't show heroes
We lack the courage to be Jews
Without the elegance of Negroes
With our youthful fireworks all defused

And all these men who are our brothers
Wonder why we don't want to hear
How their worst enemies are their lovers
See a friend in tears

Reasons To Be Cheerful

Because you did not serve 

 the LORD your GOD joyfully and gladly

 in the time of prosperity,

 therefore in hunger and thirst,

 in nakedness and dire poverty, 

you will serve the enemies 

the LORD sends against you.

He will put an iron yoke 

on your neck 

until he has destroyed you.

~  Deuteronomy 28

Soul Love

Love the LORD your God 

with all your heart 

and with all your soul 

and with all your strength.

~ Deuteronomy 6

Jesus replied: 

Love the Lord your God

with all your heart 

and with all your soul 

and with all your mind.

~  Matthew 22

Won't Get Fooled Again

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, 

your ears will hear a voice behind you, 

saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

~  Isaiah 30

Art For Art's Sake

No one can serve two masters. 

Either you will hate the one and love the other, 

 or you will be devoted to the one 

and despise the other. 

You cannot serve both GOD and money. 

~ Matthew 6

Art for Arts sake
Money for Gods sake
Money talks so listen to it
Money talks to me
Anyone can understand it
Money can't be beat Oh no
When you get down, down to the root
Don't give a damn don't give a hoot
Still gotta keep makin the loot
Chauffeur driven
Gotta make her quick as you can
Give her lovin' make you a man
Get her in the palm of your hand
Bread from Heaven
Gimme a country
Where I can be free
Don't need the unions
Strangling me
Keep me in exile the rest of my days
Burn me in hell but as long as it pays
Art for arts sake
Money for Gods sake

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

My heart is broken within me; 

all my bones tremble. 

I am like a drunken man, 

like a strong man overcome by wine, 

because of the LORD and his holy words.

~  Jeremiah 23
