Strict and overbearing
White washed tombs
Traditions over scripture
Rome
Do as i say
I am better than you
I have the power
To damn your soul
Peasants
Consistently fearful
No hope
Weak
What is this?
Contradiction?
Ninety - five of them!
Heresy!
A common
Disobedient monk
Who does he think he is?
This must stop.
Many writings
Proving the wickedness
Of this religion
People
Thinking for themselves
Having hope
In the One who saves
Standing strong
For the faith
Saved by grace
Through faith alone.
Reformation
In the land
Hearts changed.
Understanding has come.

Poem based on question # 2 of the Heidelberg Catechism.
Me sitting alone
seeing the state in which I live
going down the road of destruction
This is how great my sin and misery is.
Now I see the Light fading
see Him dying on a cross
look, the Light, alive and reigning
This is how I am redeemed from my sin and misery.
For the sacrifice
I may join Him in paradise
I will praise Him forever
This is how I am thankful for such redemption.

What About Them - John Reuben
(chorus)
Puff the magic Jesus
Floats around the universe
The United States is His favorite place on the whole entire earth
So sing your songs and wave your flag
And thank the Lord for all you have
But what about them?
Did you forget about them?
We came we conquered never speak of this again life
Must go on let’s not think of them
Things are comfortable now the pioneers have settled in
A perfect blend of progress and pale skin
For our sake and those to come
We’ll rewrite the text so you can forget where you came from
Tell it in a way that will build your self esteem
Repackage the product and sell the American dream
(chorus)
History is best forgotten and even better rewritten
And since there’s no forgetting let’s remember it different
Commit to it so strongly till you believe it
The truth is there but you aren’t able to receive it
You need to know you’re safe here
Hide your face here cuz you found your faith here
But four walls with no windows doesn’t mean you’re it
Four walls with no windows doesn’t mean they don’t exist
(chorus)
What a prosperous, wondrous place
Remember to say grace before we scrape our plates
And ignore the crying outside the door sure
You’ll pray for their burdens but you don’t want to make it yours
Thin lines divide but there’s a world of difference
So crawl back into your happy existence and feel the bliss of ignorance keep you warm
Blessed are those who mourn but it’s so foreign
The more you have the less you care
The less you care the more you become unaware
And sure life’s not fair but it favors us apparently
And how are we to interpret this excess
Is it God’s favor ill-behavior or simply man’s modern progress
God bless us as we sweep this mess under the rug
Don’t want to walk barefoot on the tile and step in the mud
Out of sight out of mind and pushed to the side
Left for someone else to rationalize and justify
(chorus)

Psalm 29
Ascribe to the Lord,
O sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to the Lord
glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord
the glory due to His name;
Worship the Lord in the holy array.
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
The God of glory thunders,
The Lord is over many waters.
The voice of the Lord is powerful,
the voice of the Lord is majestic.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
And He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
and Siron like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord hews out flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve,
And strips the forests bare,
And His temple says,
"Glory!"
The Lord sat as King at the flood;
Yes, the Lord sits as a King forever.
The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace.
Psalm 29
This chapter is so encouraging! To be called the chosen people of this Mighty Sovereign God!

My Hope Is Built
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
Refrain
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
Refrain
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
Refrain
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Refrain
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
Refrain
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
Refrain
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
Refrain
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
