REBELLION

by Gay Brown


WHEN GOD FIRST CREATED
THIS WORLD WITH HIS HAND
THE STARS IN THE HEAVENS
WERE AT HIS COMMAND
GEN 1:2



SUCH BEAUTY AND SPLENDOR
WITH JUST ONE SMALL TOUCH
THE SONS SANG FOR JOY
HE HAD GIVEN THEM SO MUCH
JOB 38:7



THEN ONE WITH GREAT BEAUTY
THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR
THE ONE WHO PROTECTED
GOD'S THRONE NEAR AND FAR
EZEK 28:16, 17



HIS HEART FILLED WITH EVIL
HE WAS FULL OF FALSE PRIDE
HE WANTED [HIS] KINDOM
HE WOULD [NOT] BE DENIED
2 THESS 2:4



HIS WORDS WERE EFFECTIVE
HE KNEW JUST WHAT TO SAY
HE SMILED, OH SO SWEETLY
TO GET HIS OWN WAY
THEY LISTENED INTENTLY
NO ONE MADE A SOUND
AS HE FORE-TOLD OF RICHES
TO THOSE WHO STOOD ROUND
THEY NODDED THEIR HEADS
IT ALL SOUNDED SO GOOD
AS THEY STEPPED FROM GOD'S PRESENCE
AND WITH SATAN THEY STOOD
REV 12:4



THE SKY BECAME DARKENED
THE EARTH HE DID SHAKE
THE ONCE FRUITFUL PLACE
NOW VOID GOD DID MAKE
JER 4:23, 24

The Fall

by Gay Brown



And God formed Adam
from the dust and the clay
He chiseled each feature
It took Him all day
Genesis 2:7


He breathed into this vessel
life from above
and placed in a soul
someone He could love
Genesis 2:7


He caused him to sleep
and he took from his side
a beautiful woman
he called her his bride
Genesis 2:21,22


Then He planted a garden
with beauty so rare
a place to inhabit
without worry or care
Genesis 2:8


Throughout the whole garden
were trees to behold
plum trees and pear trees
and fig trees untold
Genesis 2:9


In the midst of the garden
they were told [not] to [touch]
the tree of the knowledge
of evil and such
Genesis 2:9


With words of flattery
satan started to speak
poor eve was no match
she was humble and meek
Genesis 3:4


She took of his fruit
with pleasure she ate
then Adam joined in
thus sealing their fate
Genesis 3:6


She was wholly seduced
by the serpent you see
their innocence gone
they partook of the tree
Genesis 3:13


Their eyes now opened
they started to cry
victory for satan
for they knew they would die
Genesis 3:24

A Savior's Birth

by Gay Brown



Mary a young Maiden, so lovely and fair
God chose her for glory, His Son she would bear.
Luke 1:31

She found Favor with God, the angel did say
He told her God's Spirit, would fill her that day
Luke 1:28, 1:30

She was filled with great wonder,
as she ran up the street
She went to the house, of her cousin to meet
Luke 1:39

They met at the door Mary's face how it shone
She told how this babe would come from God's throne
Elizabeth her cousin knew all this was true
Felt the presence of Jesus and her baby did too.
Luke 1:41

In her womb was a baby,
in three months it would come
John the Baptist the prophet a preacher, her son
Luke 1:36

Now Mary told Joseph What the angel had said
Then Joseph told Mary she had nothing to dread
He loved her so dearly, he had from the start
All according to God she was part of His heart
Matt 1:20

The cool of the evening, on a bright autumn day
Sat Mary on a donkey, Joseph leading the way
They traveled to Bethlehem, it took many a day
To the place of their birth, for some taxes to pay
Luke 2:3

As they entered the town, people stood all around
Joseph looked for a room, but none could be found
Luke 2:7

Late in the evening, in a manger of hay
Christ Jesus, our savior, was born on that day.
Luke 2:7

Shepherds tended their flocks, an angel did appear
Glory shone round about them, they shook with
great fear
Luke 2:9

Fear not, said the angel, I bring you good cheer
In the city of David, Christ Jesus is here
Luke 2:10

They smiled at each other, they left that same day
Found a babe in a manger, as the angel did say
Luke 2:15

The angels rejoiced, The wise men did too
The star shone so brightly, in the heavens so blue
Luke 2:1,4, Matt 2:2

Death Defeated

by Gay Brown



God so loved the whole world
After all we had done
He loved us so much
That He sent us His Son
John 3:16


Born of a virgin
Impossible you say?
His birth was quite certain
As He lay in the hay
Luke 2:7 & 2:12


The Heavens rejoiced
The angels proclaimed
A savior is born
And Christ Jesus is His name
Luke 2:10


He grew into manhood
None wiser than He
He knew of God's plan
To be nailed to a tree
Luke 2:52


He covered the landscape
As He healed and He taught
He cleaned out the temple
The thieves He all caught
Luke 4:37


The wicked despised Him
They sought Him to kill
He knew they would hang Him
Was all in God's will
Psalms 22:16


The twelve sat beside Him
He knew them by name
But one would betray Him
His life end in shame
Matt 23:23


The plotted against Him
They planned night and day
They offered some silver
To Judas one day
Matt 25:15,16


They brought Him to Pilate
He said not a word
He was willing to suffer
'Crucify Him', He heard
Matt 26: 63 & 27:14


The multitudes mocked Him
and cried, 'put Him to death!'
His mother sat weeping
As He took His last breath
Matt 27:31


The sun was darkened
The temple veil rent
The Spirit of Jesus
To God's hand it was sent
Luke 23:46


He was put in a tomb
But on third day
They came to the place
Found the stone rolled away
Matt 27:60 & Luke 24:12


Thus death was defeated
When Christ rose again
The King of all ages
The Savior of Men
Luke 24:16

Deception

by Gay Brown



As he sits on his throne
Above the clouds so high
He surveys the heavens
From the earth to the sky
2 Thess 2:4



With his power and glory
No one can compare
He [looks] like a lamb
His countenance so fair
Rev13:11



He says , "worship [me] children".
"Come lie at [my] feet".
His plans for this world
Are almost complete
Thunder and lightening
Are at his command
"Miracles" and "healings"
Throughout the whole land
2 Thess 2:9, Rev 13:13



Singing [his] praises
With hearts full they cry
They claim [him] as savior
Without knowing why
2 Thess 2:11



Do [you] know who [he] is?
Do you have eyes to see?
This [isn't] our lamb
It's the dragon, so flee!!

Second Advent

by Gay Brown


When will you return
Can you tell us what day
'Let no man deceive you'
Christ Jesus did say
Luke 21:7



Nation against nation
famines and war
troubles and earthquakes
sorrows and more
Matt 24:7



False prophets, seducers
will rise and show signs deceiving
the whole world, impregnating
their minds
Matt 24:24
2 Thess 2:9



And one who exalteth
himself above all
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
this temple will fall
Thess 2:4



Don't be taken by satan
when he comes on his steed
to conquer God's children
to satisfy his greed
Rev 6:2



He'll come at the 6th trump
get ready to fight
for he comes with deception
as an angel of light
2 Cor 11:14



The elect will stand ready
prepared for the test
by speaking in Spirit
to redeem all the rest
Matt 10:19



And the two sons of oil
walk in the light
preparing the way
with all power and might
Rev 11:16



The beast shall arise
the two prophets will die
all peoples and kindreds
with joy they all cry
Rev 11:17



Three and more days
they lie in the street
till life enters in them
and they stand to their feet
Rev 11:11



The crowds are afrightened
they shake with great fear
for the 7th trump has sounded
and Jesus is here
Rev 11:15



Heaven is opened
and beheld in our view
Dear Lord and saviour
called faithful and true
Rev 19:11



When the Lord himself comes
When the trump of God sounds
All the dead in Christ with Him
As He decends to the ground
1 Thess 4:14,16



We all shall be changed
In the wink of an eye to be
with our Lord as He comes
From on high
1 Cor 15:52



He comes on a white horse
Our King and Lord He
Will rule all the nations
with rod and a sword
Rev 19:15



Then Christ Jesus prevails
Satan bound by a chain
Cast into the pit and
There he remains
Rev 20: 1,2



For one thousand years
With Christ we shall reign
Till Satan is loosed
To deceive once again
Rev 20:7



And those who walk with him
Will be cast in the fire
With the Beast and the Prophet
And Satan the liar!
Rev 21:10



But for those who find life
What a day that will be
To bask in His glory
Throughout eternity

Can Do!

God Speaking:
Look at my man so and so
I know he is can-do
Through all his tribulations
His faith comes shining through
Tho sometimes things may get him down
He gets right up again
He girds his loins to meet the test
No matter what the pain

If I Can Help Just One Little Child

By Gay Brown


Looking back, I NOW can clearly see
How God has shaped and molded me

But when I was a little child
I cried alone so meek and mild

A parent is to protect his child
Mine did not; he was cruel and vile

I lived in fear for three long years
no one to comfort as I cried my tears

I didn't know my Father above
I couldn't reach out and find his love

My life was filled with sorrow and pain
a shattered shell was all that remained

I told my mother what happened one day
she looked at me; not a word did she say

So twice I was abused; what shame
I guess she thought I was to blame

I never felt the same again
I drew away from her right then

But God was watching All the while
wiping the tears of a little child

Today I am a happy soul
I gave it to God; he has control

And if I can help just one little child
get through the heartache; it will all be worthwhile

 

[nathan3]

Life is like a Yo-Yo


Life is like a yo-yo
sometimes spinning round
sometimes hanging by a thread
as we go up and down
but when we're on that up-hill climb
and don't think life's too grand
always remember this one thing
we're in the MASTER"S HAND!

The Flood

by Gay Brown



THE EARTH WAS CORRUPT
WITH EVIL AND SIN
A PLACE OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
WHERE PERFECTION HAD BEEN
GEN 6:11


THE FALLEN LOOKED DOWN
ON THE DAUGHTERS OF MAN
AND TOOK THEM TO WIFE
DISRUPTING GOD'S PLAN
GEN 6:2


THEY LEFT THEIR ABODE
FROM THE HEAVENLIES THEY CAME
THEY WERE LEWD AND PERVERTED
TOOK DELIGHT IN THEIR SHAME
JUDE 1:6, 2 PETER 2:4


AND CHILDREN WERE BORN
AND A NEW RACE BEGAN
MIGHTY AND SAVAGE
THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE LAND
GEN 6:4


AND GOD IN HIS ANGER
DEVISED A NEW PLAN
WOULD FLOOD EARTH WITH WATER
DESTROYING ALL MAN
GEN 6:7


NOW NOAH AND HIS FAMILY
WHOSE PEDIGREE WAS PURE
WOULD BE SAFE FROM DANGER
OF THAT GOD WAS SURE
GEN 6:9


SO GOD TOLD NOAH
TO BUILD A GREAT ARK
AND NOAH GOT BUSY
FROM DAYLIGHT TILL DARK
GEN 6:14


HE HAMMERED AND POUNDED
EACH NAIL HE MADE GAIN
HE WORKED ROUND THE CLOCK
TILL IT STARTED TO RAIN
GEN 7:12


THEY LAUGHED AND THEY MOCKED HIM
THEY THOUGHT HIM INSANE
TILL THE WATER WAS KNEE-DEEP
THEN THEY CALLED OUT HIS NAME


THE CLOUDS THEY BURST OPEN
THE FOUNTAINS DID TOO
THE MOUNTAINS WERE COVERED
IN AN OCEAN OF BLUE
GEN 7:11,12
