The Cost Of Nothing

It Is So Expensive

If We Never Do Much

We End Up Dead – Whistling


We Are Built To Move

Build And Grow

If We Are Not Creative

Our Minds Slow


Enter Depression

Don’t Understand Why

See Things Happening

Sit – Slide – Cry


Must Learn To Risk

Take A Chance Of Loss

If Things Don’t Work Out

Find Another Ring To Toss


Work – Relationships – Hobbies

They All Need a Wager

Skills Developed – Honed

Time The Treasure


A Risk – Treasure – Discovery

For Us To Really Ponder

Did God Really Come ?

Conquer Death – A World Wonder


The World Is Fallen

That Is Very Clear

We Are Subject To Death

Any Moment, Any Year


With That As A Backdrop

We Must Investigate

If There Is A Way

For Us To Levitate


The Most Important Job

Is It Possible To Know ?

We Should Ponder And Examine

What Claims Out There Do Glow


Do We Never Even Consider

The Bible and Its Prophecies ?

Through Alexander the Great

His Septuagint – the Delicacy


Conquering The World to Greek

Alexander Hellenized Palestine

The Messianic Predictions

Lo – Benchmarked in Time


300 years BC – Given

Faith – Messiah – Intellectual

For Isaiah, Hosea and Micah

All Give Proof – Verifiable


A Nazarene – Isaiah

Out Of Egypt – Hosea

From Bethlehem – Micah

From Galilee – Isaiah


Hebrew Prophecies Located

Are There For Us To Examine

Did One Man Ever Fulfill ?

If So, He is God – And Man


The Cost Of Doing Nothing

Leaves Us With Nothing Doing

We Need To See What’s Up

Is Heaven A Brewing ?


Did God Really Rise ?

From The Grave For Humankind

Did God Become A Man ?

A Lamb For You And I


Is The Bible Real ?

Can We Know For Sure ?

Is It Really Good News  

For Us To Unblure ?


Paralyzed – Don’t Need To Be

We Can Read Ourselves

Neutralized Is What Is Scary

No Examining Of Heaven – Hell


We End Up Doing Nothing

Never Reading A Single Thing

We Think We Are So Smart

The Empty Box – Our Fling


We Have Surfacy Knowledge

Distorted To Us Here

But Dig A Little Further

Salvation is Free – So Clear


Yet We Rather Not Read

We Have Been Scared Off

Tricked Into Thinking

God Will Forgive Us Not


We Are Freed – Front and Back

Past – Future Sins – Covered

Grace Doesn’t See Our Sin

Mercy Of Jesus – Brother


But This Message is Stifled

Good News Never Understood

Ignorant We Marshall On

Til Death If We Would


We Are Lulled To Sleep

Yet Think We Are Bright

Ignorance Is Bliss

But Expensive – So Fight !


The Spirit Penetrates Our Haze

The Word Is Life Each Day

God Redeems His People

From Their Darkened Ways


A Miracle Of Faith Occurs

We Are Born Again

Intellectual Assent or Not –

We Are Now His Friend !
