Wrong Life

Today, I died,

My whole life, I lived in crime.

Another way, I did not know.

Nothing good, they did not teach me.

Good things; they did not talk to me.

 

To respect people, I did not learn,

I fight for the things of my concern.

I got nervous because nothing,

Because of useless things, I was fighting.

 

I had no fear.

I had nobody near.

I only wanted to win.

To share, I did not like,

But to steal, I liked it.

 

In this way, I always lived,

Because of a rich person, I seemed,

I had everything I wanted,

And nothing prevented me.

 

But someday, one thing happened,

I shot! And someone died.

I did not regret doing it,

I was willing to repeat it.

 

It was nice to see a horror face,

Hearing the pained scream was amazing.

That anesthetized me,

And encouraged me.

 

Courage has no limits,

Other crimes; I committed.

Some people tried to change me,

Saying that some Jesus could save me.

I thought, “Save of what?”

I have nothing to lose.

 

I made everything as I wanted,

In my life, I have not feared.

It seemed I lived my best time,

Much money and pleasure in my life.

 

But there is an end to everything.

And it was not different to me.

Someone shot me,

He put a bullet in my body.

My body was paralyzed.

 

Everything started to darken,

I could not see the light.

I should have accepted Christ.

So, this would not happen in my life.

Now, I am dead.

To hell, the devil led me.

Praise God

Lord, it is so good to sing praises to you,

They are one prayer for my soul.

With praises, I can declare my love for the Lord,

And I also meditate, having peace and calm.

 

The praise is a pure prayer,

It is a love declaration.

It is marvelous because it comes from the heart.

Making me stay in the spirit of adoration.   

 

I adore you with my lips,

I confess to you all my gratefulness.

I remember all your blessings,

I found compassion, and I have happiness.

 

Only to the true God, I always will praise,

The Lord is worthy of all my honor and praise,

Because the Lord has loved me first,

From eternal death, He saved me.

 

I am always praising and hoping for you,

I wait for the day when you will come back and get me,

To the life of eternal peace will lead me,

In your Holy temple, forever, I will praise and glorify you.

Acceptable Sacrifice

It is not possible to give something to who has everything,

It is not possible to negotiate with the owner of all things.

With God, it is not possible to bargain,

Everything we offer is already over his hand.

For someone to gain something from the Lord,

It needs to wait for Father’s will and His favor.

Only God knows the right time to give his blessing,

Even with many sacrifices, we cannot accelerate it.

The time for each blessing is determined,

Only God knows the hour and day.

A moment when His child will not be affected,

And their right path will not be impacted.

The Lord will accept a type of sacrifice,

Each one can sacrifice their earthly life.

Each one should have in their heart humility,

Following Christ and respecting His authority.

This is the greatest sacrifice of human beings,

They follow God and are always sanctified.

Obeying and being pleasant to the Lord,

Being faithful and proclaiming his love.

The Man-god

The man wanted to have God’s power on him,

In his own way, he always keeps walking.

About God, he does not pay attention to anything,

He wants to be the author of his history.

The man forgot God’s will and instruction,

He does not wait for God’s action.

He thinks that his ways are good,

But before God, it is something reproachful.

The man gets blind in his wisdom,

For God’s voice, he gives no attention.

He follows only what he wants to do,

Attributing to himself to be powerful.

Poor is the man who does all of this,

He is going down into a big abyss.

It is the abyss that leads to a death pit,

He thinks he is lucky and does not notice it.

The unique luck of man is to follow Christ,

Only He knows the best way for life.

In God, man must always keep trusting,

With prudence, God will always guide him.

For good ways, He will lead him.

Meetings

The meetings of the people of God must propagate,

For the bearing of the Name of Christ, they will cooperate.

Too many people have to know the name of God.

In a meeting, it will be easy to learn about the Lord.

The meeting is for the coming of a new audience,

To be closer to God, they have the chance.

About the Lord’s word, they will have comprehension,

To get this requires a teacher to give a direction.

The teacher is there to give attention,

For the doubts that arise, he will do a clarification.

He will fulfill the project of the meeting,

All students, he will be accompanying.

The person accompanied will fortify themselves,

In the word of God, they will firm themselves,

The name of Jesus, that person will confess,

A new life on God’s side will be in progress.

The meeting helps to save many people’s lives,

Then, this idea needs to multiply.

Thus, more people will be achieved,

And many more lives will be blessed.

Hard Times

The beast will come at the determinate time,

Many people will be cheated by her signs.

Many arrogance and blasphemies, she will proclaim.

He will try to conquer all women and men.

 

By her, too many people will be cheated.

In her ties, their lives will be delivered.

She will conquer all kingdoms and nations.

All the kings will serve her,

It will seem like collusion.

 

The beast will desire to subject everyone,

Her name will be marked in each one.

Because without the mark, they will be limited,

To buy and to sell, they need the mark on their hand or head.

 

Everything will be a big chaos.

The world will be mastered by the evil ones.

Only a few people will resist with the help of Christ,

They will get the crown of life.

 

It will be a great fight and tribulation,

It will be hard to resist that situation.

The unique hope will be having God in the heart.

Only God will rid them of that desolation.

 

Because of Jesus, they will be killed and tortured.

After passing through this, they will be approved.

They will go for glory, and they will reign with Christ,

They will praise God the whole time.

In his presence, they will dwell in the coming life.

A Seductive World and the Love of God

The things of the world want to seduce you.

There are beautiful things shown to deceive you.

You think, How everything is good and marvelous!

But all is a big trap of the enemy.

Because he wants to destroy you.

 

The first step is to put you away from the church.

He will show you the beautiful world in every way.

On TV, radio, internet, with friends, or in the street.

To put you away from God, he does everything.

Then, in your life, he will make something.

 

It will be a strong touch when he touches you.

It is death’s touch, what he wants to do.

Little by little, he will addict you to something.

Then, you will lose everyone, and you will be lonely.

 

One addiction will bring you to another.

When you notice, you seem like a dead body.

Your body will be almost destroyed.

Many times, you ask yourself:

“How can I still be alive yet?”

 

You are alive because God loved you.

Of death, many times, He rid you.

Because the Lord always believed in you.

He believes one day you will change,

And to his love arms, you would come back again.

With your amazing Father, you will make reconciliation.

God has never abandoned you even in your tribulations!

 

Even though it seems everything is lost,

Do not give up! You are a son of God.

Repent of all evil wholeheartedly.

The Lord will give you his hand immediately.

 

He will take you from a deep abyss.

He will put you in a place, new and clean.

God will erase all mistakes and sins.

Then, a new life can begin.

 

One life of peace with the Lord,

Professing Christ as your unique Savior.

You will always remember from where the Lord has taken you.

Thanking Him every day for his great love.
