                                                                Conscience

Conscience is a key

God gave to you and me

Decreed: man must be free

To choose their destiny

A key that rules both

Heart and mind

To show the way

When eyes are blind

Reminding, warning teaching

The right from all that’s wrong

In times of trial and danger

Admonishing be strong.

Conscience is the light of Christ

Illuminates the way

When hearts begin to falter

Our feet are apt to stray

Conscience always ready

Jumps in to save the day

When thoughts are but confusion

The world in disarray

Conscience is a gift

Our Father gave to man

For he so longs that everyone

Returns back home to live with him again

                                                                             Faith

Faith is a tiny fragile seed

Planted by God in human hearts,

 Hoping that the tests of life

Our steps to heaven may lead.

Back home to distant shore

Beyond lives reaching sea

To find some blessed peace

Some precious sweet release

From mortal sin and pain

That all his children round the world

By their own choice

A Victor's Crown may gain.

                                                                     I know

 

I know who’s in charge, know who sees

 Mankind’s empty ambitions, vanity, greed.

God will teach us, help us to learn, to know

                           Events of our earth won’t always go

                      The way clever Leaders have planned them.

                             He’s there to help us understand

                      The affairs of earth are within his hands

                         Men’s eyes are blind, they fail to see

                           The way things really ought to be

                                  Intervenes to let us know

                      The way lives on the earth should go

                    In wisdom's way he’s there to remind us

                         Until our better self will find us

                         Until we wake up and understand

                    The affairs of the earth are within his hand.

                                                                      Decline

Behold, Nations on a steady decline

Rebellion, war, hunger, murder, crime.

Stumbling towards the downward road

The poor always bear the heavier load.

How long will it take until People see?

Only love and compassion will set them free

Commandments are given for men to keep

For only then will earth nations reap

The happiness promised by father above

Of freedom, contentment, joy and love.
