"Cards on the Table"

An Original Work / December 12, 2018

As scriptures teach, I don’t believe

There is a pre-trib rapture.

From what I read, I do perceive

That we’ll go all together.

For Jesus said we would be there

To see the tribulation.

And some of us they’ll put to death,

But we have our salvation.

But don’t be sad, for it’s not bad

To suffer for our Savior.

For we will walk the streets of gold,

And His we’ll be forever!

As scriptures teach, I don’t believe

That we should worship Santa.

For, false he is, and yet he lives

Within the hearts of many.

His makers, they have made him God;

His attributes have plenty.

But, Jesus Christ, they minimize,

And He is barely mentioned.

The worldliness that’s part of all

There is at Christmastime

Is not of God, not what He wants

In way of celebration.

As scriptures teach, I don’t believe,

That we should pledge allegiance

To anyone but Jesus Christ

The God of our salvation.

Our loyalty to Him alone,

And never to the nations

Is what He wants

Of those who’re His,

Who sing His jubilation.

No compromise of truth be told

From our lips or our lives;

No partnerships with those not His.

No unity with lies.

As scriptures teach, I do believe,

That we should follow Jesus,

And give Him all our heart and soul,

And live for HIM forever.
