The Love of The World ~
The love of the world,
is but foolishness . . .
all it has to offer
is truly meaningless.
It’s full of vanities,
prideful, greedy lust
one day all it offers
will tarnish and rust.
The love of the world,
is empty, grim and grave
once you desire of it
to it you’ll be a slave.
It teaming with sin,
too godless to mention
it’s where satan reigns
with all his henchman.
The love for the world,
is foolishness for sure
and the Light of Jesus . . .
is it’s only saving cure!
~~~~~~~~
“Love not the world,
neither the things
that are in the world.
If any man love the world,
the love of the Father
is not in him.
For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
And the world passeth away,
and the lust thereof:
but he that doeth the will
of God abideth for ever.”

Do Not Love The World ~
Do not love the world,
nor the things in or of it
for, to your soul . . .
there’s no lasting benefit.
For, the world’s full of pride,
promoting fleshly lust
to its godless customs
you mustn’t ever adjust.
Do not become a part,
of the world’s ways
do not on its sinful desires
let your heart set its gaze.
For, if you do you’ll find,
it’s so easy to conform
as the world’s proven to be
satan’s earthly platform.
Do not love the world,
for it is perishing . . .
there is nothing in it
worth you cherishing!

Without Christ ~
I have a nice home,
a car, a computer and a TV
but, without Christ . . .
what do they really get me?
I have a family room,
one to rumpus all around
but, without Christ . . .
I’d never be heaven bound.
I have sterling silver,
crystal adorns my shelf
but, without Christ . . .
I’m still my tarnished, sinful self.
I’ve many wonderful things,
and an awful lot of stuff
but, without Christ . . .
in this world it’s not enough.
I can travel abroad,
I can get from here to there
but, without Christ . . .
who really cares to where.
I have family all around me,
many people I call my friend
but, without Christ . . .
my life, will come to a godless end.
I been given a lot in this life,
that can be seen externally
but, without Christ. . .
what would I have eternally?
