Back in Paterson long ago Was born a Bray named Joe. Went to Annapolis in ’47; Developed a taste for heaven. Graduated in fifty-one Part of the class, “second to none.” Met a stewardess on a plane; Beverly Holmstrom changed her name. Gave birth right a way to five little Brays; Mike came out in […]

There will be no sorrow in heaven But will there be levels of joy? Will we reflect upon the good things Done here while laden with the sin That infected the whole world? The work of the Spirit in us His people, each one and all? Yes, with one another we’ll have a ball With […]

He’s got chains And he ain’t breakin’ ’em. Got no power over us; Death is defeated The King is alive. He got whooped by our Lord; Beat him bad on that cross. He’s down cryin’ and whinin’ About all that he lost, All the souls in his power To deceive and devour. We’re set free […]

Old and in need of a brandering Gettin’ thin in the hair And fat everywhere Trying to get away from that stare Comin’ from those youths! Anyway they got no couthLookin’ at our shapeless figures; Can’t help it we’re gettin’ bigger! That sign of our times is here In the increase of our sphere. We […]

Paivi Rasanan quoted that Bible Over there in the land of Finland. Accused she was of “hate speech,” This prosecutor was opposing crime, Calling out abortion and euthanasia. What is with those decadent Fins? What kind of victory do they want to win? Looks like a suicidal nation of fools Protecting the work murderous ghouls.

Is. 3:21-4:1 Finger rings, nose rings, festal robes and tunics; My, those girls were struttin’ their stuff! Cloak, money purses, hand mirrors and undergarments; They even had those turbins and sexy veils. But the Lord said, “You got it all wrong! Got to sing Me a brand new song. Don’t want those belts, ropes, and […]

You do what you got to do andLet no foolishness get to your head.The Lord is present in the EucharistWhen the Sacrament is divvied on out,So you don’t got to fret and worryTryin’ to figure out what it’s all about.Partake and pass it […]

Some partake of crackers; Others break the bread. Some folks sip the juice; Others drink the wine. What matters most unto the Lord Is that you walk the line! You see, you got to keep it straight, Lest you get a nasty fate, Meeting up with foulest minions Down in darkness in a crate. Therefore […]

(A 12-line hortatory poem sung to the tune of “The B-I-B-L-E Yes that’s the Book for Me”)at 0828 on 19 April, 2022 It’s the FGG* for me; Yes, that’s the way to be! You must construct a plan And then by it you stand. Don’t sit around and float With that hole in your boat. […]

The Lord Jesus is wholly present In the gathering of each holy church. As each partakes of that holy supper He does imbibe life that no other Gathering can supply, no matter how high Or lofty the company or occasion, Nor what the doctrinal persuasion. Christ is present with His holy followers Who gather humbly in […]

Bombs away throughout the dayGot to step up into the foray. Do it on the sly or on the run; Anyway you like; get ‘er done! Can’t sleep while babies are dying; Don’t turn your ears from their crying. Lots of ways to start trying: You can talk it up with your friends; Write those […]

Isaiah 3:16 O you got to read that Bible in part. If you do, you get a great start; Your interest will rise like the wind: “Heads held high with seductive eyes.” “Mincing steps and bangles on their feet.” (Is. 3:16) O, those ladies were lookin’ sweet! But Isaiah goes on to say “We’re takin’ […]

Well, sorry, but . . . Islam a bad religion! Why? I’ll tell you why! ‘Cause it deny the One Who rose from death After comin’ down to the groun’ From way up high in the sky. Talkin’ God Almighty, the Son, Who came down not fo’ fun But t’ take on death afte’ a […]

Isaiah 2:12-3:4 Against the proud and lofty The Lord will have His day The pride of man will be humbled In all that nasty fray. Those idols will be gone (18) When He turns His terror upon (19) Those fake gods of silver and gold! (20) So what do you worship these days? Wrapped up […]

Is. 1:13f. (In the language of the common man) Don’t bring your offerings to Me; I’m gonna hide my eyes when you pray! (15) Get your deeds clean out o’ my sight! (16) Do some good and defend an orphan (17) Come on, let’s think a minute about it! You’re as filthy as can be, […]

Praise You, Lord, from the heavens, Praise You, Lord, from the earth. Dead or alive we’ll praise Your name; To You alone we’re gonna bring that fame. We’ll dash them down as we lift You up; Nobody with You can compete. We’re gonna bring to the world that heat Yeah, we’ll stir it all up […]

The E double A BU; Yes, that’s the club for you! We stand alone for the good, And uphold our neighborhood! No, you don’t have to be crass To have a really good blast. Lots of fools to observe; Need to have a lot of nerve. They come and go all day; They’re lost, can’t […]
