The Manger

The old Manger lay there
Having fallen into disrepair
Cobwebs and dust its most faithful companions
For many a long year

To see it now you would never have guessed
How once it had been so honoured and blessed
(not forgotten and useless)

For these old, musty beams once lay privy to
Oh the witness they saw, oh what they knew!
A most wonderful scene –
The fulfilment of all mankind’s dreams!

For here, long ago, on a clear early morn
The Saviour of all humanity was born
No greater event has history known
Then when God Himself left His Heavenly throne
And made the flesh of man His humble home

Now the very beams that saw His birth
Will see His very last day on earth
For these very beams, yes these very ones,
Are the ones they are using to crucify the Son

They thought they were no longer useful to man
But our Father God had a different plan
For when the Romans made the awful decree
That they were short on wood to make crosses of Trees
They found the old Manger and they tore it down
For they saw that it’s wood was still firm and sound
And off they hauled it to Jerusalem town

Now we are like this wood that once was alive
But was even more valuable after it died
For if for God’s Kingdom we give up our lives
Tis then we will gain the ultimate prize
An Eternity spent with Jesus in paradise

So when many a year slowly ebbs by
And in your old age you oft wonder why
Why am I still here? Of what use am I?
Just give serving God the old college try
For in giving your life up for someone else
In God’s eyes my friend, you’ll be living well
And when your last day on this earth arrives
You’ll hear –

“Well done, good servant, faithful and wise
Your labour for Me has touched many lives
Now enter into the everlasting Joy of Your Lord
Where you will never, ever be bored!”



Mat:25:23








Inspired by “Where love is, God is” by Leo Tolstoy










Praise to the Star lighter!
Praise to the snake fighter!
Praise to the wrong righter!
Again I say, Praise Him today!

Praise to the planet provider!
Praise to the wind rider!
Praise to my hearts’ abider!
Again I say, give Him Praise!











Young people of the Nation, listen to my dissertation
Ever since the dawn of creation, you are a Revelation Generation!

If you’ll obey and make the right choice
Than you are called by God to hear His voice

Great and Mighty things to you He’ll reveal
Secrets long hidden He’ll no longer conceal
And you will find that your destination
Is to be a Generation of Divine Revelation

Yes God is revealing Himself and showing things to you
That the prophets of old only wish they knew
Yes the angels of God, they desire to see
What God is sharing with you, personally
So when you hear a still, small voice let there be no hesitation –
Say, “Speak, Lord for Your servant is listening
for I belong to Your Revelation Generation!”

When you reach the valley’s bottom
When you reach your lowest ebb
When you think all is forgotten
When all you do is dread

It is there that you will find Me
a bridge that is timely
An ever present help in troubled times
I am the God that eases minds

When you hit the bottom rung
When you can’t take another step
When your dreams are all far flung
When your hopes are all unmet

Oh do not forget –

It is then that you will find Me
A bridge that is timely
An ever present help in troubled times
I am the God who eases minds



Psa:46:1&2











Be wise as serpents

Be gentle as doves

Be full of The Spirit

Moving in Love

Always be what you seem

And be

As harmless as a can

of

Shaving cream!

Let us reap and let us sow
Let us speak of things we know
Let us plant and let us grow
Till all of us are made whole
Then He comes
Then He shouts
Then He turns us inside out
Then we’ll see as we are seen
and nothing will ever more come between
us and our Lord.
Amen.




1 The:4:16









without procrastination
or hesitation
because of
Divine Revelation

about our
current situation
we are on our way
to our Eternal Habitation
forever assured
is our
Destination

There’s a force in this world
that’s greater than the evil that men do.

There’s a desire in my heart
that no harm would ever come to you.

I desire your good only
and may you prosper all of your days.

And to The Lord your God
And to Him alone
May you commit all of your ways.

Then the evil in this world
can never conquer you

And God Himself will carry you through.



Isa:53:4

Be glad, be encouraged in the Presence of The Lord
It is Him we love and worship and adore.
No greater strength can be found within the length
Of our days then when we give Him Praise.

We’re practicing for what we’ll do
For all Eternity through.
We’ll join with the white-robed, Blood washed Saints
Eternally grateful, always giving thanks.

Even the Seraphim and Angels round Your Throne
Can’t claim the sacrificial love found within Your Blood
No, it is ours alone.

Be glad, be encouraged in the Presence of The Lord
It is Him we love and worship and adore.



Psa:96:9
Joh:8:56







To see what the eyes of Adam saw
The fruit of the Tree of Life to eat
To obey the Scripture’s royal law
To crush the serpents head beneath our feet

These are the joys His life can bring!
These are worthy of tongues to sing!
These are ours when to God we cling
When all our flesh to the Cross we bring

Jesus! Jesus! The Lord our Righteousness!
Who alone imparts to us Holiness –
Truly we are blessed!

To labour with favour as Noah did
To usher in His second coming
No longer from Him is Israel hid
Soon to be fulfilled, His patient longing
Even so, come quickly Lord Yeshua!

Jesus! Jesus!
The Lord our Righteousness!
Who alone imparts to us Holiness!

Truly we are Blessed!
