Oh the meaningless and foolishness of our world!
As expressed through Hollywood?/p>
During 2005?/p>
The idols of our age is found in Hollywood
with celebrity,
A mass obsession with Green Day, Matt Damon and P. Diddy,
Jessica Alba is drooled over as most pretty,
People magazine has exclusive pictures of Jennifer Garner’s
belly?/p>
Oh the sins and no standards just to be
on TV,
As if there’s not enough problem rapper The Game has beef
on Fifty,
Paris and Nicole get attention by being ditsy,
“The Forty Year Old Virgin?has to mock purity,
And then there is the pop singer Britney,
In the search for a stunt for publicity,
Goes to Vegas to get marry,
And ends it immediately,
While Janet Jackson has to flash her forty year old body,
Never mind that people still buy CDs from the pedophile
R. Kelly,
Janet’s brother gets away with “Not Guilty?
How foolish is it to fear man and care
about popularity,
All will be forgotten, in the end they become a no body,
In ten years who remembers Brad Pitt with Angelina Jolie,
Or that Mariah Carey released the Emancipation of Mimi?
Ten years from now people would admit Donald Trump was
ugly,
And would find Owen Wilson not so funny,
Not to mention Jimmy Kimmel, whose humor already is cheesy,
Five years from now Hugh Heffner might die despite having
his lady?/p>
Oh Lord, and as for me,
Protect my heart and guard my purity,
I don’t want the idols as found in TV,
Or self-promoted through my MP3.

Heard
It
I was in clique
We had everything we wanted and was lovin it
But then one night I got really sick
And death I barely missed
So I said to myself I’ve had enough of this
I decided to quit
But then I thought about who was the leader of my clique
It was the devil and he wasn’t havin it
So he had his people watchin me closely
‘Cause he already knew who I was about to go see
I went to church and the spirits followed me in
The only thing I want is be freed from this life of sin
So they started trippin and grabbin, kickin and stabbin
Fillin my head with voices wantin me to make the wrong
choices
But I don’t wanna go back
So I got down on my knees
And started beggin Lord please
Don’t let me go back to where I was
When I was drinkin and lookin for a quick buzz
I felt you when I was on the corner sellin drugs
When I was pimpin and low-ridin with the thugs
But I changed all for you because
There’s now a difference between where I am and where
I was
So the word got back to who I thought was the boss
He said “get her back, no matter what the cost?br>
But little did he know the old me was lost
And the only place you’ll find it is on the old rugged
cross
So the “boss?is now in a total mess
Hatin every minute that I was getting blessed
And then it happened?br>
I died
What’s goin on? I wasn’t ready to leave
But I gotta remember every thing works out for those who
believe
It was really quiet as I stepped up on the platform
And as I lifted my head the person standin there was the
Lord
With Jesus at His right and the Holy Spirit on His left
Let me just be real and say I was a nervous wreck
The judgment didn’t take longer than a minute
They had reached a verdict
GUILTY?br>
A big smile went across my face when I heard it
He said “Well done my good and faithful servant?br>

Strong
Tower
Strong Tower
When I wander through the desert
And I'm longing for my home
All my dreams have gone astray
When I'm stranded in the valley
And I'm tired and all alone
It seems like I've lost my way
I go running to Your moutain
Where your mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek
In the middle of my darkness
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul
--Jenny Smith
Devil
in a White Suit
Oh my goodness!
Who is that?
He’s headin to the back
Now he’s comin over with his crew
Feelin kinda nauseous I don’t know what to do
He started off the conversation with the same old line
He asked me my name and said the pleasures all mine
He started doin things I knew weren’t right
Then he asked me to come over tonight
I really didn’t want to but he was sayin all the right
things
Started showin off his car and flashin his diamond rings
Tryin his hardest to reel me in
I’m tryin to fight It but I’m not gonna win
So when you go home to tell your girls that the man was
cute
Just know the man was the devil in a white suit

CLEANING
THE TOILET SEAT
Thoughts that I have to clean the toilet
makes me gag,
I do not go to it quickly but rather I lag,
The disgust on the seat and bowl makes my heart nag,
Such chore and duty could be quite a drag.
I would never complain verbally nor dare
to cuss,
Internally I feel guilty for making such a fuss,
Lord, turn my pride to humbleness,
Cleaning this toilet I must?/p>
Lord, You are teaching me many things?/p>
My sin must disgust you more than the
marks on the drain,
While I hold back vomit in a loathed disdain,
My sin must be bad in your sight as this colored stain,
Yet people are more stubborn than these clumps gained!
Lord, to clean the toilet bowl of my life
must have been great pain?/p>
Sanctify me Lord, make me Holy?br>

here's a sunflower to thee,
for those days when you feel blue,
but a poem...
or an artificial sunflower may not lift thy spirits,
so i hope a simple prayer will do:
I pray to God for thee,
that He may keep thee close
and show thee His glory
and ever peaceful Face,
Of the everlasting love He has,
for you, a faithful servant of Him,
may appear as clouds form during the dawn of day.
Thus, like a break of light
admist the ever gloomy sky,
shines forth a sign
a hope
a gift
of everlasting comfort
during darkness of your days.
