Lenexa Baptist Church = The Precious Blood Of Jesus Poem by Tom Zart

WISDOM IS EVERLASTING


When the voice of wisdom cries out
The grace of God is never-ending.
Search for those who highlight the worthy
And shun what is selfish and condescending.

Wisdom is better than the touch of woman
Rubies, silver or kingdoms of gold.
Blessed are those who follow God’s path
Without fear of their deeds being told.

Man’s fear of death sustains his repentance
As God’s seed of Goodness stirs within.
When sinners entice you, refuse consent
For the shameless shall suffer without end.

When the gift of wisdom glorifies your heart
And the harmony of knowledge is pleasant to your soul.
You will be delivered from the deeds of ignorance
As the numbers of the wicked register their toll.

God’s wisdom is inspiration of spirit
In every thing we consume and employ.
Knowledge is mankind’s only hope
Of fulfillment, purpose and joy.


GOD’S WHISPERS


Think of young David when he faced the giant
With nothing but his sling and five stones.
He listened to God and ran forth to glory
Toppling Goliath for birds, to pluck his bones.

When we fully surrender our soul to God
Our life is complete without blame.
Our heart beats to the joy of fulfillment
As we no longer shoulder our shame.

The more we heed to the whispers of God
The more we achieve His glorious goal.
All through life we escape temptation
Responding to evil with pureness of soul.

God keeps no secrets from all who love Him
When they repent and obey His voice.
He speaks to those who truly conform
And follow His doctrine by choice.

When we listen to God our fears fade away
And all He has proclaimed shall be.
Our trust in His love, grace and protection
Allows us to be modified, by Thee.


WALKING WITH GOD


Walking with God is a progressive journey
Of fellowship, faith, love and understanding.
Walking without Him we’re doomed to unawareness
Lost in the shadows of ungodly demanding.

To walk with God we must be consistent
In our behavior through heartbreak and tribulation.
Walking with the Lord is not always easy
Though eager hearts comply without hesitation.

Our continuous surrender to the will of God
Enables us to hear His voice within.
The most important lesson we can ever learn
Is to listen for His deliverance from sin.

The champions of the Bible all listened to God
Or they would never have survived their story.
When we heed to the voice of supreme thought
We become a testimony to His goodness and glory.

God’s love is unconditional, total and complete
His goal is to make us aware of falsehoods and lies.
Whenever He speaks, He never contradicts His word
And all who actually listen are more Christ-like and wise.


THE DAY of JEHOVAH IS NEAR


The day of Jehovah is near
Judging the worst the world has seen.
Bringing relief to the righteous
And punishment to the mean.

Evil’s malice will expire
By the power of God and His glory.
The soldiers of Heaven shall prevail
To tell the world their story.

The day of Jehovah is near
So it’s time to select your side.
Remain lost, selfish and blind
Or march with the faithful with pride.

The word of God fills us with hope
Of new heavens and earth that await.
It’s up to us to chose our path
And there is no time to procrastinate.

The agents of hell cast their nets
Far and wide to mislead and use.
The goodness of man must overwhelm
Those who murder, rape and abuse.

The only way our world can prosper
Is by the grace of God’s law.
If we fail to heed His teachings
We must suffer the extinction of all.


THE PRECIOUS BLOOD of JESUS


Jesus didn’t arrive by accident
God sent Him to purchase our salvation.
When we deny Christ as our savior
We fail as an individual or nation.

Without access to God we’re nothing but a corpse
With no hope for the future or present.
We live in a world consumed by foulness
And we’re selfish, ungrateful and unpleasant.

When we seek God’s grace and deliverance
We truly confess our guilt and transform.
We place ourselves in the hands of God
And by faith and compliance we conform.

Never let Satin run away with your heart
Trust in the precious blood of Christ and His grace.
Set an example for all you disciple
Preaching His liberation from shame and disgrace.

The precious blood of Jesus the Son of God
Paid our debt that we could never afford.
God’s spotless perfect Lamb of righteousness
Was sacrificed to justify, sanctify and reward.

Never be reluctant to get down on your knees
And pray for God’s help and understanding.
Life on earth is God’s test of resolve
As we face what is inescapable and demanding.


THE REWARDS of TRUTH


God’s doctrine of truth is what lives are built on
For fulfillment and existence on Earth.
A spiritual guide to teach us His ways
The more we discover the more we’re worth.

Building truth is like digging for gold in the ground
If we find the tiniest flake we scratch for more.
As a result we become stronger
Setting an example for the world we love and more.

The Lord allows no good deed to go un-rewarded
When we build a scriptural foundation for our life.
We receive His wisdom, opportunities and blessings
As we serve Him proudly through good times and strife

How great the reward when we chose to surrender
And not merely just hear God’s words, but conform and heed.
The road of right is always narrow and problematic
Where the path of wrong is vast and pregnant with seed.

The rewards of truth are God’s blessings of love
As the pitfalls of lies are Satins weapons of demise.
Assurance, grace, trust and Heavenly intervention
Gives us the power to remain righteous and wise.

Unfortunately, some never apply honesty to their lives
By choice, they remain captive to the world of lies.
Christians survive by prayer, truth and fellowship
As you feel the power of conviction in their eyes.


FAITH, LOVE & TEMPTATION


The process of enticement begins in our brain
When we fantasize about what sparks our fire.
Eventually our thoughts stir our emotions
And we risk everything to obtain desire.

Our victory over sin can only be accomplished
As we follow the power of God’s rule.
Through faith, trust, compliance and love
We evade what is shameful and cruel.

When we heed to the voice of God within
We celebrate His power, majesty and grace.
We reject temptation and cling to His love
Till His blessings radiate from our face.

From all that’s immoral, wicked and hateful
Only through love of faith can we turn away.
When we humbly pray to gain God’s wisdom
We sidestep the penalty of misjudgments at play.

As we come the point where we must make our choice
Will we shun what is vile or seek its promise of pleasure?
Every time we blunder sad consequences occur
And we loose the life’s splendor, fulfillment and treasure.


SOLDIER FOR THE LORD


I'm a soldier for the Lord
Who’s been up and who's been down
Though while on the battlefield
I have never turned around.

I face more than flesh and blood
With the devil's evil hoard.
But they shall not steal my soul
For I swing my Lord's swift sword.

I wear all of God's armor
With helmet, breastplate and shield.
As Satan’s arrows fly by
From his archers of the field.

The devil casts his dark net
Over any he may charm.
He’ll lead them from salvation
With his hands upon their arm.

I battle evil daily
And I pray that you’ll join me.
We're not alone in this world
For we're loved and watched by Thee.


MAN'S SPIRIT AND SOUL


The spirit of man will sustain his infirmities
And if he obeys God's law he will retain his soul.
The flesh of man shall return to the earth as it was
But for a spiritual life afterwards, is man's goal.

With his soul, man humbly prays to God in the night
And with his spirit he seeks Him by the light of day.
It's true that man may be taken by sickness or hate
Though only evil deeds can lead his soul astray.

The spirit of man is thus the candle of the Lord
Whose kingdom does not receive that which is flesh or blood.
The Lord shall preserve man's soul from all which is wicked
As He once destroyed the evil of earth with his flood.

The soul of man may be willing, but his flesh is week
As outward he must perish; inward he can renew.
It all depends on the road he chooses to follow
And the dreams in his heart he prefers to pursue.
