AWOL ~

As soldiers of God,
we mustn’t be at ease
we can’t go and do
whatever we please.

We must always be,
in conflict mode
there’s no down time
in our battle code.

Our assigned posts,
we can never leave
in our daily fight
there is no reprieve.

We need to be ready,
with our battle plans
we must always obey
His fight commands.

As soldiers of God,
we mustn’t go AWOL
lest into Satan’s hands
we will surely fall!

1 Peter 5:8

“Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:”

Where’s the Meat ?

I’m sitting here at church,
listening to the same old thing
how God wants to bless me
with lots of material bling.

Don’t want to hear my pastor,
tell another funny joke
I would rather have my soul
be stirred up and holy stoked.

Need more than just milk,
flowing through my veins
need to hear how in this world
from sin, I need to abstain.

I am ready for some fire,
with some brimstone thrown in
and if I’m to fight off Satan
I’ll need a battle plan to win.

I don’t know about you,
but I’m hungry for the meat
otherwise I’m not sure . . .
why I’m sitting in this seat!

1 Corinthians 3:2
King James Version

“I have fed you with milk, and not with meat:
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it,
neither yet now are ye able”
