Greg Millhorn the Poet
SHORT TIME
As a burning candle
Is consumed by flame
So is Man’s soul
If rejecting Jesus’ name
Life is so short
When looking back to see
That young person there
Was really me
On our way to glory
Or the other place?
One brings us happiness
The other, suffering and disgrace
The gnashing of teeth
While burning in pain
Awaits all people
Covered in sin stain
The gift of God
Is eternal life
Away from all heartache
And bitter strife
NEVER GIVING AN INCH
The Lord kept this man
For his testimony I’m sure
Proving that through God
He’s able to endure
Stopping by to see me
Each and every day
Singing praise to the Lord
All along his way
He is touching many lives
While in such terrible pain
His sickness is spreading
Finally going to his brain
Never giving an inch
Just trusting in the Lord
Saying, the Lord will heal me
This body He’ll restore
The man walks by faith
And not by his sight
What an example for others
While walking in God’s light
SOUL WINNER FOR JESUS
May the Lord humble your heart
For all people in need
Help the lost to find Christ
For them we must intercede
Shed some tears for someone
And spend the day in prayer
Hell burns hot with sufferings
And it’s torments forever there
Stand in the gap for them
Fast and pray today
Be a witness for Jesus
Let nothing stand in your way
Have you sat so long in piety
Numbness affects your thought
Who leads you to know
By Christ’s blood you were bought
Be a soul winner for Jesus
Help save a life from hell
In Jesus there is victory
In us His Spirit dwells
TURN AWAY MY FRIENDS
One man’s loss
Is another man’s gain
That’s the way it works
In this world of pain
It’s mine all mine
Everything belongs to him
People want only riches
As far as the eye can see
Only thinking of themselves
Their minds full of greed
Doing wicked things
To satisfy their need
Never knowing the Lord
Or helping out a neighbor
Just only reaping sorrow
For the fruits of their labor
Turn away my friends
From this world of sin
Give your life to Jesus
And paradise you’ll enter in
THE TOY
Once there was a lad
Who made a special toy
He loved it very much
Giving him many hours of joy
One day while he was playing
He set the little boat down
When he finally came back
It was no where to be found
Later, passing a store window
And seeing what he had lost
He wanted the toy back
Regardless of the cost
Now you’re mine again
The lad was proud to say
I’ll never leave you anymore
And from me don’t sail away
People are like the boat
Sailing away from the Lord
The Creator bought us back
And wants our lives to be restored
SALT OF THE EARTH
The brilliance of God’s glory
Is there for all to see
The radiance of Lord Jesus
Reflects upon you and me
Brighter than any star
In the darkest night
The people of the Lord
Shine forth with His light
We are His body
With legs, arms and hands
Always wanting to help others
Just as the Lord commands
Loving God with all our hearts
And our neighbors too
Jesus is living in us
And there’s nothing we can’t do
The salt of the earth
With distinctive taste and savor
Are people doing God’s will
And never losing their flavor
A WISE MAN KNOWS BETTER
A wise man knows better
Than to seek changes he cannot control
But a foolish man runs blindly
To offer the world his eternal soul
God made man is His image
And gave him freedom of his will
Man worships creation and not the creator
And he is worse for it still
The Father gave us His Son
Accepting Him takes away our sin
This does not mean we sin no more
We try not to, because He abides within
If you look at how the wicked prosper
Things in this world are easy for them to do
They will gain the world, but miss the savior
God’s word on this is very true
God’s word never returns to Him void
It is always accepted by at least one
But there are many that reject it
And it’s been that way since man begun
MY BROTHER’S KEEPER
Am I my brother’s keeper, Lord?
You told me I should be
Why do I hurt my Brother
Then run and pray to thee
Do I hold his sin up
So all can see it, under his face
Or do I tell him about mine
Together praying in a silent place
The wicked can’t wait to see
The good fall by the way
Christians are under watchful eyes
We must renew faith everyday
I stand upon the word of God
And know it to be true
When you point your fingers at someone
There’s three pointing back at you
Jesus said, “Love God”
And your neighbor as yourself
Don’t be so quick to judge
Put condemnation on a shelf
THE BOSS
I’m working for the Lord
In everything that I do
Giving my all for Him
And likewise so should you
Jesus is my Boss
At church or working place
People wonder what’s happening
Always a smile upon my face
With this way of thinking
And trying to do no wrong
Just doing our very best
Because to Him we all belong
Do not be caught sleeping
Thinking the Boss will delay
Because He will come quickly
On that very day
Blessed are the servants
The Lord they have sought
For the Son of Man will come
At an hour you think not
THE LORD WAS THERE
The Reverend led the prayers
On that joyful day
Even when it was over
Everybody just wanted to stay
The church received a blessing
And the building containing it too
Many things were done that day
Before the service was through
Straight from God’s word
Rang out the truth
Intense ears were listening
From the aged to the youth
The preaching and praising
To God’s Holy Son
Just got better and better
And it was really fun
The countenance of God’s people
Seemed to take on a glow
Everyone was so very happy
The Lord was there I know
THE POOL OF SALVATION
Sitting on the porch
On a warm summer day
I heard a terrible scream
From not every far away
Like a shot from a cannon
To the pool straight and true
I pulled a little boy out
He was lifeless and blue
I prayed to almighty God
Which I had never done
Then promised, if He saved him
I’d give anything under the sun
Suddenly, the boy turned pink
And his life was back again
His parents thanking God for me
It seemed very strange back then
Thinking back to those days
Is a happy memory
I saved that little boy
And Almighty God saved me
