THE APPLE’S SCENT
Once there was a rich man
The richest in our town
He always despised the poor
Upon them he looked down
One day a little fellow
Stopped him on his way
It was the same crippled boy
He passed by every day
The lad was selling apples
Just to make ends meet
The miser couldn’t spare a dime
On such an extravagant treat
The rich man noticed one day
The lad was no longer there
Someone told him he had died
And was in the Father’s care
That night the rich man died
And straight to hell he went
Somehow through the smoke and ash
He smelled the apple’s scent
THE PENNY
There was a certain man
Going to church one day
Finding a penny on the ground
He thought to give away
This man would always give
To God and everyone
He was a generous man
Giving everything under the sun
At church the plate was passed
The penny was dropped right in
The usher saw the disgraceful act
And thought, what a sin
In anger the usher rebuked him
Telling everyone, give him the axe
The usher felt like such a fool
When he found out all the facts
Yes, a lesson was learned that day
And now I truly see
Never to judge anyone
Because the usher that day was me
THE UNDERTAKER
The old work horse
Pulled the hearse along
Business is very good
Was the undertaker’s song
One man was born
Another man died
The undertaker watched
As the man’s family cried
Death is all around him
And he doesn’t care
But God will judge
Being Righteous and fair
Just worry about business
Was the undertaker’s plan
Having no interest
In the family of Man
Now the hearse has no driver
But the horse knows the way
And business is still good
The undertaker died today
ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS
Nothing but death
Was across the land
There were no righteous ones
To make a stand
The wickedness of man
Was out of control
Defiling his body
And destroying his soul
Lovers of darkness
Afraid of God’s light
Trying to hide
From His Holy sight
Given over to lust
And perverted thinking
Worshipping their idols
In fornication and drinking
Without caring or understanding
For the poor and his needs
God shall judge them
According to their deeds
THE GARDEN
Fruits of the Spirit
Are sown in love
It is what god desires
From Heaven above
Faithfulness and goodness
Also self-control
All from the garden
To enrich your very soul
When growing in real grace
And God’s mercy too
The Lord’s strength is yours
There’s nothing you can’t do
For he who plants peace
Will find exceeding joy
Founded on the Rock
That no man may destroy
God’s gentleness and kindness
Is waiting for us all
Jesus leads us to the garden
If we listen to his call
WALK IN HIS LIGHT
Crucify your flesh
And all it brings
Let His Spirit come forth
As a living spring
Don’t be discouraged
Then sin enters in
Just trust the king
You’ll always win
There are many things
We don’t understand
But love thy neighbor
That is His command
Be a righteous man
Never brag or boast
Be filled with Jesus
And the Holy Ghost
Remember my friends
Grace is for you
Only accept His love
You’ll be saved too
WHEN THE DAYS ARE DARK
In these last times
When days are dark
Murder is running free
To trample life’s spark
The innocent are slain
And the guilty go free
Standing up for justice
Is how it should be
When someone is troubled
Give him your hand
Show them the right path
On solid ground you’ll stand
Be bold for the Lord
At the same time be meek
Humility is taken for weakness
Strength can turn the other cheek
Let the greatest among you
Be the servant of all
Straight up to the Father
None need not fall
O’ WICKED BABYLON
O’ wicked Babylon
How long will you stand
Before the Lord chastens you
With His mighty hand
You mock God’s Holiness
And shed innocent blood
As in the days of Noah
Before God sent the flood
Your Government is corrupted
And out of control
Living for greed and lust
Ready to sell it’s soul
Murder and violence
Is the order of the day
Your people do not care
If it stays or goes away
If you forsake the Lord
You must accept your fate
O’ wicked Babylon
Your hour is getting late
WILL HE TARRY
The Lord can save your soul
And make burdens easy to carry
Is the Second Coming near
Or will he tarry?
Put all your trust in Him
He may be here today
Only the Lord knows
If He will delay
He went to prepare a place
So all can live in peace
The Master’s work is genius
His wonders never cease
So strengthen your hearts
On His love you can depend
It will put your mind at ease
Knowing in Him you have a friend
The Lord can save your soul
And make burdens easy to carry
Is the Second Coming near
Or will He tarry?
CARE FOR OTHER’S NEEDS
Dear God in Heaven
Guide us to thee
The wages of sin is death
With our hypocrisy
The time is coming
When you have to choose
To serve the Lord
Or your soul you will lose
My friends a leopard
Can’t change his spots
But if you listen to the Lord
You can change your thoughts
The world around us
Does not hear His voice
But we harken unto the Lord
We have made Him our choice
People in the world
Care for nothing but their greed
But true Christ followers
Care for other’s needs
RESTITUTION
The owner of the land
Sent servants to see
If the caretakers were honest
As they should truly be
Upon the servants arrival
They were beaten without care
And sent back to their master
Who was honest, just and fair
The owner sent His Son
So they would understand
That everything belongs to Him
And obey His command
But they killed His Son
Out of jealousy and greed
He must bloody His hands
For now He will intercede
He will call His army
Millions and Millions strong
They will kill those wicked servants
And right this terrible wrong
MANY SOULS TO BE WON
The morning is peaceful
All quiet and still
Hear the Lord’s voice
And then do His Will
Always searching for others
To lend a helping hand
So they can be part
Of the Master’s great plan
When walking life’s road
Not a stranger you’ll meet
God’s love representative
To everyone you greet
Jesus opened His arms
For us to embrace
We long for the day
To look upon His Face
But there’s a lot of work
For all of us to do
Many souls to be won
Before we are through
THROUGH JESUS WE’RE FREE
When things of this world
Really have you in despair
Remember child of God
That Satan is never fair
If everything is good
He wants to bring it down
Hoping to steal your joy
Turning your smile into a frown
People are going to hurt you
Sometime or some place
But know that Jesus loves you
And you’re covered by His grace
Some will never know
The happiness Jesus brings
They are blinded by Satan
And busy worshipping things
It is a blessing to know
For you and for me
Once held by worldly chains
But through Jesus, now we’re free
THE RICH MAN
Give and you’ll be blessed
This man knew what to do
He always gave in secret
Carefully, thinking it through
He gave generous alms
When the offering came around
Some people felt it their duty
This man must be found
Even the preacher wanted to know
The identity of this man
The one who gave so much
According to God’s plan
They finally found this man
Giving him honor and special place
The man got very angry
Knowing this was a disgrace
The rich man wanted none to know
Except God in Heaven above
For the Father sees things in secret
But rewards openly with His love
EVERYONE IS WORTH SAVING TO HIM
Whenever you judge thy neighbor
And others you want to condemn
Remember what Jesus taught us
Everyone is worth saving to Him
My wonderful sinless Jesus
Poured life’s blood out His veins
No one took it he gave it
To cover man’s sin stain
We have access through Jesus
To reach the Father’s throne
To God we boldly come
Our sin he did atone
People be faithful to Jesus
And also to one another
Everybody do what is right
Try to love your brother
When ever you judge thy neighbor
And others you want to condemn
Remember what Jesus taught us
Everyone is worth saving to Him
