God’s Messenger

Inspired by the book of Malachi The Lord has always loved humanity HE loved our ancestors for generations  His greatness reaches beyond calamity  But upon sinners He brings destruction  Children should show honor to their parents  Servants should be respectful to their master  Don’t show contempt with false appearance  Fake offerings will bring disaster  Make up your minds all you priests And honor the Lord of Heaven's Armies Or cursed will be all of your receipts And punishment comes like tsunamis The purpose of His covenant Was to bring us life and abundant peace This required reverence So God's favor upon us can increase Are we not all children of the Heavenly Father? Were we not all made by the same Creator? Then why do we lie and cheat on each other? We are unfaithful and celebrate traitors The Lord has sent a messenger  Coming to prepare the way He comes like a refining fire Purifying our sins away Come back to Him and He will return to us P...

Matthew 11

Jesus said "What have you heard, and what have you seen? God blesses those who don't turn away from me Afflictions are healed, the dirty disinfected People can hear clearly with lives resurrected "What did you hope to see out in the wilderness? Someone who can help you let go of bitterness? Did you hope to find the secret to righteousness? Something to help bring truth and divine justice? "You came out there looking to see a prophet Someone who can share what God deposits Before me, he was sent out as a messenger Ahead of my coming, the way he would prepare "None was ever greater than John the Baptist Who spoke against evil and to sin did resist Yet the least in the Kingdom is greater than he is And the Kingdom of Heaven is forcefully advancing "To what can I compare this generation People full of misinformation You cannot stop what God has ordained The One who created has the universe contained "Come to me, all who are weary Heavy loads and burdens do...

Sheep Amongst Wolves

Jesus called out twelve of his followers Giving them authority and imbued with power To cast out evil spirits and heal people's illness Saying Heaven is coming and know God in stillness "Go and find all the lost sheep Awake the dead who are asleep Give as freely as you received And as you work you won't want in need "Be harmless as doves, but shrewd like snakes Your demise people will try to partake But you will not be the one who is speaking It will be the Holy Spirit in you preaching "People will hate you on account of my name But endure and salvation can be claimed Don't be afraid of those who threaten you My acknowledgement will be your revenue "If you love others more than you love me Than as my disciple you are not worthy Clinging to life than you are bound to it But giving it up will you be found in it"

The Narrow Gate

Based on Matthew chapter 7 Jesus said "Do not judge others and you will not be judged Or God's guilty verdict will not be budged Don't waste what is sacred on people unholy They trample pearls with standards so lowly "Keep on asking and you will receive Keep on seeking and you will retrieve Keep on knocking and the door will open Your spirit will revive and be awoken "Do unto others what you'd do to yourself  The essence of biblical teaching itself  The gateway to enter the Kingdom is narrow But the road to hell is easy and thorough "Beware of disguised sheep who are wolves The fruit they yield will become dissolved So do the will of our Heavenly Father  Not religious deeds that face erasure  “Build your house upon the rock Not on sand that can be undocked  Don’t let your faith fall and get collapsed  Let it mature and become advanced”

Rewards in Heaven

Based on Matthew chapter 6 Jesus said "Watch out! Don't do good deeds publicly Don't call attention to acts of charity Don't pray by speaking incessantly Or refuse to forgive in nullity "Do not store treasures here on earth It's only temporary and loses worth Where your treasure is your heart will be So for everyday life do not worry Can your worries add to your life? Do you have little faith about your strife? Don't be filled with grief and sorrow And do not worry about tomorrow "Your Heavenly Father knows all your needs Seek His Kingdom and you will succeed He sees all and with you be pleased If to Him control you concede"

Blessed During Difficulties

Based on Matthew 5 Jesus said  "Take heart! God blesses you in difficulties  When you are persecuted by your enemies  Ancient prophets were treated in the same way  Yet in My presence did they choose to stay  "You are the salt and light of the earth  Letting others know how much I AM worth You bring flavor during the bitterness  Showing the way through the dark wilderness  "Don’t hate your enemies love all your neighbors  Don’t give favors like corrupt tax collectors  Do not be like pagans being kind for effect Like your Father in heaven is you’re to be perfect"

Fishing

In the land of Zebulun and of Naphtali Beyond the Jordan River beside the sea Where so many Gentiles live       in the region of Galilee The Spirit of the Lord was upon Him       to set the oppressed free The people who sat in darkness       have seen a great light Shining into the shadow       of death's cursed blight Jesus began to preach       that God's Kingdom is in sight Saying "Come, follow me"        and to souls did it excite Evil spirits cried out,     "Have You come to destroy us?" "We know who you are,       Son of God, Lord Jesus!" But cutting them short       He commanded them "Depart!" And they obeyed so His fame got its start Great crowds listened in      as He preached along the shore He then instructed fishermen       where to catch a big score Simon, James, and John ...

Magnificat and Zechariah's Prophecy

Inspired by Luke chapter 1 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel He visited and redeemed His people Those who are righteous in His eyes With His Spirit will He baptize We need to carefully obey His word And in our hearts may it be stored All hail the Savior of the world Born from a lowly servant girl Helping His servant Israel Remembering to be merciful Keeping His promise to our precursor As His love endures forever
