Be A Foghorn . . .

The beacon’s light has faded,
the foghorn is now but mute
the lighthouse stands alone
on the hill of ill-repute.

Silenced now, from the left,
the warning sounds no more
the lighthouse is in the dark
upon this nation’s shaken shore.

Once a beam unto the world,
a responsibility we all shared
now the people of this republic
are caught up in Satan’s snare.

In the past we stood in honor,
to the God in whom we trust
now we offend and discriminate
with His truth on greed and lust.

The church once held the beacon,
in the palm of its blessed hand
but it no longer wants or cares
to take a bold and daring stand.

It’s time to wake up the masses,
and shine His light on our grime
for to hold back the Gospel’s truth
is a spiritual sin and crime.

Let me be perfectly honest,
my God I will always defend
for I rather be a foghorn . . .
then to be ~ this world’s friend!

James 4:4
King James Version

“Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world
is enmity with God? whosoever therefore
will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”

Wake Up Call

The alarm has been set,
the hour is drawing near
and in these final moments
the wake-up call is clear.

The signs are all there,
just as we’ve been told
and it’s time to speak up
and for God to be bold.

Just take a look around,
and tell me what you see
haters of good and God
are evident to me.

You can see the ungodly,
up and down our streets
marching in defiance
on their self-serving feet.

Standing on our corners,
you’ll find those begging
for you to support
their unholy way of living.

Look at the love of money,
the ungratefulness
the way people lie and cheat
about their own recklessness.

Seated in our churches,
are those who once confessed
but, now their sins they deny
all they want is God to bless.

It time to listen up,
and hear the warning bell
lest you be left behind
and spend eternity in hell!!

2 Timothy 3:1-5
King James Version

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection,
 trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
 despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady,
 highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.”
