God's Word & Jesus Christ our foundation Archives - Page 3 of 5

Are We Poor in Spirit?

Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?

Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.

Jesus taught how to be
In our attitudes, our nature
What to strive for, as goals
Become like our Creator.

On the one hand, materialism
On the other, hope and feelings
Our relationships, ambitions
Our morality and meaning.

Yes, do build upon God’s Word
Not ideas, man produces
Our foundation, built on Truth
Not the latest, our culture chooses.

The deception of Satan
Is no different today
He appeals to our thoughts
To our desires, lead us astray.

Yet somehow from ‘nothing’
All must be explained
Since God has been banned
They’ve just dogmas… so deranged.

In this ‘Land of the Free’
So many, feel bound
Became captive, to our culture
That confuses, confounds.

For we face, moral collapse
Such cultural confusion
Great division, deception
Must return, to God’s solution.

Though our culture condones
Approves of deception
Know God, our Creator
Expects truth, no exception.
