The Seed

The seed is in the fruit
the fruits not in the seed
so I hope you will concede
to the notion that I plead
that the seed is in the fruit
and not the fruit that's in the seed.

The fruit that we all need
once started with a seed.
The seed grew deep and made a root
and through the ground a little shoot
burst forth and gave a hoot!
Growing quickly toward the Son.
Delicious fruit for everyone.

Grapes that glisten on the vine
Apples grow in the sunshine.
Fruit so sweet, come take a bite.
This kind of fruit is a delight.
Give them a seed they answer “NO”.
Share this fruit and seeds you'll sow.

The seed my friend is the word of God.
They won't take a bite because it looks too hard.
The fruit of the Spirit from heaven above
is Gods way of showing the world His love.
So abide in Christ and let your fruit be sweet.
It will be so good they will want to eat.

So please stop feeding them with seeds
only fruit will meet their needs.
With all the people that you meet
if you offer fruit this sweet
they will gladly take a bite
and the seed inside will spring to life.

This is an original poem I wrote myself.

A Prayer for the Nation​?

A Prayer for the Nation? well it is about time!
Going down so fast now a dollars worth a dime.
The prisons are all full because the countries full of crime.
Young and old and baby boomer screaming. “Mine, Mine, Mine”!

We're always blaming someone else for the trouble that we're in.
It's always someone else's fault, seems we always point to him.
We do our share of wrong and say “It's our fair share”.
Then we point to someone else, pretending that we care.

We must stop blaming someone else for everything that's wrong
and get down on our knees, this nation hasn't long.
We've turned away from God, everyone, we're all to blame.
What was once a Christian nation is going down in flames.

Those that do not know Jesus do what they always do
they pray to gods that are not God, they haven't got a clue.
It's up to those who know Jesus Christ, to call upon His name
confess our sins and turn away so our country can be saved.

The people we are fighting are not who we should fight
our enemy is crafty, he keeps hidden out of sight.
Stop fighting one another, Jesus said that we should love
only then will they know we are different and sent from up above.

So if you call upon His name and say Jesus is your Lord
you must turn away from sin so all can be restored.
You must pray to God, you're the only ones who can
and then God by His Spirit will bring revival to this land.
