No One You Know, I Think (2004...)

I liked it when he called me lassie
He said I looked Irish too
'Pulled a harmonica from his coat,
'Said, "I'll play a something for you."

I inquired of his blue eyes
With his accent loved to get in tune
He said, "This world is wild, lassie
'Got the Armageddon blues."

He said, "It's all gone crazy
I think the end is near."
I said,"Like in Revelation?
But the good don't need to fear."

So I recommended listening
To my friends from where he came
Who speak of Jehovah's Kingdom
And glorify God's name.

But he said, "Now see here, lassie,
I can tell from your eyes
That you get some people to listen to you
But you won't get this guy."

He said, "I'm [of Christendom]."
I said, "So was I."
He said, "That's mostly what we've got back home",
And the numbers went through my mind:
(Hmm...
Eleven hundred
To 1...
There's work to be done
I want a piece of that fun...)

"You've got to think globally, lassie."
I thought, try universally.
'Cause it's gonna take God to stop earth's blues
That's the reality.

Just then a lady in long veil and skirt
Peacefully walked on by.
He called senseless words of hate to her
And his song, like his speech, went dry.

I thought, that's some religion you've got
And thinking on a global scale
But this just shows once more again
That without Jah's truth people fail.

Monotone Lies From a Scratched Record (2004...)

Lie-lovers drone the same old lines
'Heard it all before
Can be wearing to the minds
Of those who've learned there's more.

More than man's philosophies
To try to defend wrong
Live music from the voice of God
Moves humble ones along.

Can I say anything to bump your needle
Out of the rut it rides?
No - all I can do is tell God's truth
Then its you who must decide.

But if you want to lift the arm
Of your old record player,
Listen, there's full songs for you
From what God has been sayin'.

The Dyin' Lyin' (2004...)

Soon liars will be gone
Their trouble won't be missed
Though sometimes
They get an upper hand now
By Satan's wickedness.

But God said long ago
That the days would come to this
Some people would teach
Dumb old lies
To defend selfishness.

Reasoning out the window
They know not of what they speak
All that matters
Is to tatter truth
Ruin the way, and sound elite.

And some evil have no scruples
God himself they don't fear
So they'll desperately try
Even harmful lies
As Armageddon draws near.

But liars will be gone
Someday, somehow
They won't be missed
Even if they once were friends
Or people that we kissed.

Original Religion (2004...)

Original religion
Our True Creator's way
Same as first in Eden
Has been brought through to our day.

Complications happened
When man disobeyed
But that never stopped pure worship
Even with Satan in the way.

Truth lovers always seek God
Their hearts, they tell them to
They're moved to want to thank God
How 'bout you, how 'bout you?

And Jehovah's always answered
The ones who are sincere
Leads them where they need to go,
To words they need to hear.

It's been a long time coming
But we're here now at "the end"
God, he's made provisions
For all who'd be his friends.

Through his Son, he made a way
For life that will not end
A global family worships now
Like at the start in Eden.

Truth lovers always seek God
Their hearts, they tell them to
They're moved to want to thank God
How 'bout you, how 'bout you?

And that happy paradise
For humans who obey
With just original religion
Will soon be here to stay.

Too Common (2004)

Most people walk a common way
A mainstreet road of ease
Buy what false gods suit them
Say, "See, I believe."

But trend-books that they purchase
And man-pleasers on TV
Won't tell whole truth, 'cause it won't sell
Or win popularity.

Will you choose from a million idols
Or make one out of you,
Be guided by mere men
Or seek what's really true?

Me, I'll pick Jehovah
The One who's never let me down
Then in his new world here
We'll see who's left around.

Would you thank a lifeless idol
For a newborn son?
Or see the moon rise and thank yourself
For a job well-done?

Or is there a lesson learned
In grateful people's eyes:
Humble oneself to the Maker
Isn't that more wise?

Don't be molded by the common
Or crave self-sparing lies
To exchange truth for falsehood
Is to sell out to die.

Me, I'll thank Jehovah
The One who's never let me down
Then in his new world here
We'll see who's left around.

Rwanda 1994 vs. John 13:35

They lined them up
At the river's edge
So as each was shot,
He might fall over the ledge.

A massacre
So discreet -
Orderly murder
And the clean-up neat.

Never mind the screams or the pain or the terror or the loss,
Or God.

As each bullet
Came one chest closer
A man
Got a thought in mind.
He flung himself back,
Down into the river
Where the water
Was already cryin'.

The slaughterers
Must have thought him dead
With tied limbs,
He could hardly swim.
I imagine
He was praying hard
To the God
He put his trust in.

The man was washed,
Like a log downstream
But landed 'live
Along shore.
Injured, he struggled
Into a village
Would they help
Or just hurt him more?

Did angels lead
One to another?
Of this,
I wouldn't be surprised.
For to the man
Came a spiritual brother
Who loved him and Jah
More than "tribe."

The godly man
Took him in,
Helped his brother
Back on his feet.
Hopefully
His neighbors learned a lesson
Of TRUE
Christianity.

Days, they passed,
The man felt better,
Thanked his brother,
And said goodbye.
He carefully walked back
To his own village
His neighbors
Could not believe their eyes!

Where have you come from,
Fellow Tutsi?
We thought you were dead
Like the others?!

He said:
I might have been,
But thanks to Jehovah
I was in the home

Of my Hutu BROTHER.

When God Made You

When God made you
Gave you life-force
He had a way for you
One true, right course.

So he cared, yes
Entirely
Cared, yes
What religion you would be
Since most "faiths"
Are filled with lies
And can be blamed, yes,
FOR ALL WHO'VE DIED -

Who've been slaughtered on this earth.

When God made you
Gave you heart and mind
He had words for you
Seek and you shall find.

Jehovah's showed the way
For love and peace
For all
Who'd throw their weapons down
And turn to him
In obedience
In a brotherhood
World 'round.

When God made you
You came into a plan
Right smack, in the thick of things
In this time of the end.

But cheer up
And see through the lies
True hope
Shines strong
We're not in that Garden now,
Honey,
But it will be back
Before long -

Soon as the whole world hears
Soon as the whole world hears
Soon as the whole world hears
His Kingdom "song."


When God made you
He hoped there'd come a day
You'd worship him in truth
Draw close to him and stay.
