Discouragement

Just think about going to church,

And my body starts to become heavy.

My heart starts discouraging,

There is no strength for walking.

I do not need to go to that place,

Right here, I can pray.

I do even not need to leave here,

One word, I can hear.

God understands my way,

I talk about Him every day.

At any moment, I cannot forget,

Even being just for habit,

The name of God, I will say.

It is not good to live so sloppily,

Then, there is space for sin.

We must strive for the Lord,

There is a long, He gave us his love.

Christ died for all of us,

Jesus suffered on the cross.

He spared no effort to save us,

We must always give thanks and praise.

Flawed Plans

There are many things we want to plan,

Soon, we think to go, to make and gain.

We think that we know everything,

We suppose we can conquer all things.

 

It seems that everything will be easy,

We will gain too much until we build a palace.

We want to have everything,

Great empires, we want to build.

 

But life does not work like that,

Our plans will always be flawed.

Because we are temporary in this world.

We cannot stay planning,

We do not know if our time is ending.

 

To God, we should pray:

“Lord, teach me the perfect way.”

If God blesses us,

We can think about this or that.

And with his permission, we will get it.

 

The Lord can do everything,

A certainty rises from an uncertainty,

He makes us grow like a good fruit tree,

Under his will, we always will be.

 

For this to happen,

All of us must submit to Him.

And stop believing we have the power to do something,

We are weak, and being alone, we cannot do anything.

The Rich Man and the Poor Man

We wake up and see many wrong things,

There are sins in everything.

They forgot That One who was crucified for us.

They only want to gain more power.

 

In another world, power has no value.

Try to buy the devil!

He will laugh a lot at you, and he will say:

“You had the chance to regret your ways,

But you preferred to seek power.”

 

At that time, it will be late,

Money, you no longer appreciate it.

You only have weeping and teeth-gnashing.

In your whole life,

Does money make you satisfied?

 

You see the man you have humiliated,

He has peace with God in heaven.

In his place, you would like to be.

In life, it was the contrary, what irony!

The poor man would like to be rich.

In death, the rich man wants to be saved.

Keep calm, everyone is dead.

The humble one went to God.

Only the punishment for sins is what you have.

New Conversion

It is marvelous at the beginning of the conversion,

The person has a chance for a new life and direction.

They will go through very surprising moments,

For many things, their sight will be different.

Just at the beginning of this beautiful conversion,

Things appear to touch and shake their emotions.

Most of the time, they are not helpful things,

They are things disturbing their faith and beliefs.

The newly converted one begins to be confronted,

Their old sins are offered.

They are willing and want to do it,

But now they know a transgression will be committed.

And other difficulties continue coming on,

People discrediting the path they are going on.

They say their conversion is madness,

And that following the Lord, nothing changes.

There are too many temptations trying to mislead,

To fortify themselves, God’s help, they will need.

With the Lord’s help, everything will be supported,

Their path of faith in God will never be altered.

Writing for God

If I write a poem of adoration,

I want to show God my heart’s devotion.

May He see the love inside me,

My heart delights when I praise Him.

I make it to express to God my feelings,

And to demonstrate all my love for Him.

I really like to do it,

I feel the need to write.

It is like a conversation between God and me,

While the poem is forming.

It is the Lord who comes to inspire me,

With the right words, He comes to talk to me.

I make it to exalt his name,

And to announce his name in other places.

May everyone know about the Lord,

And they learn everything about his love.

God is a God with much love,

And every day, He inspires me.

May each poem can touch you,

And God can approach you.

Israel’s Journey

There were forty years of walking and distress,

There were too many days of being homeless.

They were walking in the heat of the wilderness,

And the Lord God was always close to them.

God did not allow any evil to happen,

From the rocks, God gushed out water to them.

The food they needed was always appearing.

There was no kind of lack of anything.

Even clothes and sandals, the Lord was preserving,

Even with the long journey, nothing was missing.

Everything happened according to the will of the Lord,

That preserved everyone, to give the land He swore.

Moises said to the people his last words,

Asking everyone to be obedient,

May they not deviate from the way that was decent.

Obeying only the Lord his God,

The promised blessings will come from the Lord.

Before the people, Moises blessed Joshua,

Making him the new leader to follow the faith.

The twelve tribes, Moses also blessed,

Words of encouragement and blessings, he pronounced.

God said that Moses would not enter the land.

At Mount Nebo, he saw the place as God has command,

The land that was promised to the people to inhabit.

Right there, has died, the servant of the Lord.

And never there was a man who talked so much to God.

Joshua received the encouragement coming from God,

The arrival at the land has been promised by the Lord.

The whole people were prepared to go away,

Each tribe cared about what they had to take away.

Ahead of the people went the ark of the covenant,

The feet of the priests touched the Jordan,

And its waters divided, creating a big wall.

The people passed through dry river land.

One more time, God was amid them.

Twelve stones were collected in the middle of Jordan.

To remember to the people this great wonder.

The promise of the Lord God has been accomplished,

He gave to Israel’s people the land He promised.

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.

Unity in Church

The church is a project of the Lord,

One place for the love to be shared.

One place where people will become sanctified,

Where everyone praises and prays all the time.

The church must remain in unity,

Always seeking to preach the truth with clarity.

The body of the church must keep unity,

Connecting everyone wholeheartedly.

Everyone should care for one another,

Helping each other in every new matter.

Becoming a holy and united body,

Walking to be Christ’s body.

Walking together, everyone will grow,

Strengthening their faith in God as they go.

Following together through the good path,

Never allowing anyone to walk alone.

In peace, everyone always needs to be,

So that everyone can accept each other with glee.

By accepting each other, everyone will learn to forgive,

Forgiving, everyone will learn how to love.

Love for each other is something expected,

In the Scriptures, it was mentioned.

For the church to be prepared,

For the day when Christ will come to take it away,

And in eternity, everyone will stay.

Thinking Alone

Nobody can change alone,

It needs God’s help to change anyone.

If we are alone, we will never notice.

Without God, the mistakes, we cannot see.

The mistake is to think we are independent,

To think we can do whatever we can.

Thinking that it is right to do all things,

Thinking that we are clever in everything.

Thinking the world is our private place,

And all personal desires can be made.

Thinking that we will never die,

We always live showing our lives.

Living like that, we are without direction,

We did not notice mistakes in our actions.

We need God’s intervention in our lives,

We can be alone for no more time.

God will enter inside us,

In the bottom of our hearts, He will speak to us.

We will see everything clearly,

We will see how sad life is without him.

God will plant a seed in us,

It is the seed to change us.

If we allow it, the seed will sprout and keep growing,

And our lives will be transformed.

The acceptance of God’s words will begin.

We will know the truth is in Him.

We will understand that everyone sins,

We notice we depend on God.

The Lord can save us only in this way.

When we confess all our mistakes,

God’s mercy will forgive everyone,

And forever, we will be under his protection.

Evaluation From God

The one the people rejected,

Before the Lord was a person very honored.

Many blessed works, they will do,

All days of his life, they will be faithful.

Many people judge according to their views,

They evaluate others by what they feel.

They do not do one judicious evaluation,

They choose the one they have more affection.

The rejected one may be very valuable,

Being to the Lord one person who is laudable.

God makes those who were fallen to rise,

People will see his power in front of their eyes,

Showing that only God can judge and approve.

Different from us, the Lord has a deep vision,

God looks inside, the mind and intentions.

He does not see only the appearance,

God sees the deepest essence.

The Lord sees what the heart has inside,

He knows the deepest secrets of each life.

The evaluation of God is very special,

Because He does not evaluate only the natural.

The Mouth

About the mouth, we must be careful,

Because the tongue can kill you.

She is a weapon so powerful,

After you say something,

The consequences can be disastrous.

 

With our mouths, we can say good things,

Or we can stay cursing,

We have the power to choose.

We know that after saying something,

There is no way to regret it.

 

Everything we say will produce an effect,

It can be something perfect,

Or it is just appointing a defect.

Do not matter what will be,

At someone, the word will reach.

 

Remember that all speech has an answer,

Everything you send to someone,

It will come back against you.

Before you say something, be thoughtful,

You can hurt too many people.

 

God already has said how should be our conversation,

Let it be for our brother’s edification.

They will fortify their faith.

We never must curse anyone!

We never must hurt anyone!

 

Our mouths must be a source of blessings,

And do not be a source of undoing.

It has been written in the word of God:

“What gets out of the mouth,

Leads people to destruction.”

 

Think a lot before you talk,

Use your mouth to bless everyone.

Then, the Lord will please about you,

And your produced testimony will be good.

Sinner

I am a poor sinner.

Of your grace, I am not worthy.

Many mistakes and transgressions, I did.

Your affection, I am not worthy of feeling it.

 

Even so, the Lord loved me,

Ridding me of a terrible destiny.

The Lord came and introduced himself to me.

Your word has changed my life.

 

The Lord is a God so marvelous,

He has rid my spirit of a terrible end.

Your hand came to rescue me,

To salvation, He will take me.

 

Only the Lord is God!

His benignity endures forever.

Even the poor sinner, He has mercy.

To eternal salvation, He will take him.

The Calling to Salvation

The Lord does everything to save,

He sends people to talk in his name.

He does everything for the person to see,

He shows signs for the person to believe.

For God, the person is being called,

Each day, a wonder is revealed.

The Lord makes efforts to get that person,

For one more soul to get salvation.

The chosen one is valuable for the Lord,

It was for each of them that God sent the Savior.

Many people have one new opportunity,

And they will not be condemned for all eternity.

For his chosen ones, there is a project of the Lord,

Where his people shall come back to God.

They will come back to his mighty kingdom,

Uniting to Him as a bride to the bridegroom.

Many people, the Lord will call,

But He will not be heard for all.

They will prefer their own ways,

Walking alone to the death and abyss.

For the Lord’s voice, each one needs to pay attention,

When He calls, each one must be ready with disposition.

Because the Lord calls once for salvation,

It is the only opportunity to flee from condemnation.

The Power of Solomon

Solomon was a wise king and followed clever ways,

He was powerful during all his days.

Nobody could compare himself to him,

In wisdom matters, nobody could face him.

The kingdom was quiet and prospered in everything,

An abundant life, Solomon was living.

He got married to too many women,

And many concubines were on hand.

There were many women to be controlled,

There were one thousand that were counted.

Solomon fell in love with all of them,

And he began to disobey God’s commands.

The women led him to their abominations,

Leading him to follow their gods in adoration.

The heart of the king was being contaminated,

By God, this behavior was reprobate.

There rose many enemies against Solomon,

They declared war against him and the kingdom.

That was a tighten time for him,

And he knew his time was finishing.

The Lord said that he would stop reigning,

And the throne would pass to another after him.

Times later, what the Lord said happened,

This did not take too much, and Solomon died.

The Judges of Israel

After they have a time of tranquility,

The people of Israel went to practice iniquity.

In paths the Lord did not teach, they were following,

To other gods, they were turning.

The wrath of the Lord rose against them,

His protection was taken from them.

By other people, they were subjugated,

In many nations, they were mistreated.

This punishment was because of the disobedience,

That people did not act with decency.

They did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord,

Prostituting themselves with unworthy gods.

For a long time, that people suffered,

With great difficulty, they survived.

When they already were abated and tired,

To be free again, to the Lord, they cried.

The Lord heard the crying of his people,

He raised judges to free them again.

Honored people judged the whole Israel land,

They were always attentive to messages from heaven.

They did according to the Lord’s commands,

With the people, was the Lord’s hand.

Again, the people of Israel got liberty,

They could go back to the Lord and his safety.

But when one of the judges died,

Again, prostitution entered Israel’s people’s lives.

They forgot everything the Lord made,

They came back to the idols’ ways.

Israel was oppressed again,

They cried to the Lord to free them.

The Lord assisted them one more time,

God raised another judge to save their lives.

As long as the judge was alive, they obeyed,

They prostituted again when he died.

They had no faithfulness to the Lord,

Even so, they were always saved by God.

Forever I Will Love You

Forever, I will love you,

I want to show this love the whole time.

Your love is a reality.

Life with you will be for eternity.

No one can separate us.

The Lord chose me to be on his side.

I want to adore you the entire time.

 

A pure and true adoration,

One feeling that does not see any limitation.

I want to go out and cry:

“Jesus! I will love you for my entire life!

I love you because of the gift you gave me.

Amid a sinful world, you chose me.”

 

Jesus is my best friend,

All the time, He is holding my hand.

One love like that you cannot find.

The love of the world wants to cheat you,

Because according to what you have, they love you.

With Jesus, things are not in this way.

He only wants your commitment and faith.

 

Always faithful, I must be,

From all evil, I will flee.

The Lord gives me the strength to do it.

He moves me away from the evil of the enemy.

In a good way, He put me.

 

It is the unique path that I will be,

In eternal life with God, I will live.

I will always sing praise to Him.

In plenty of happiness, I will be,

Because I know that forever I will live.

 

For this awesome gift, I will always thank.

A wonder like that, no one can grant.

Jesus, I adore and praise you with all my being.

With you, the death, I can win,

One more time, I thank you:

Thank you, Lord, I was chosen by you.

Acknowledgment to God

I praise and thank God every day,

He is my Lord, and He is always protecting me.

He does not allow anything to be lacking.

He is the unique and true God of love.

 

He loves me as I am, weak and imperfect.

God chose me to be his son.

He took me from a lake with mud and dirt,

And He put me in rectitude, in righteous ways.

 

He analyses my walking,

Lead my steps to a wide and spacious place.

One place where there are delights and joyful,

It is a blessed place where reigns the truth.

 

Lord, keep me in your good way,

Rid me from the evils that pursue me.

Fight against those who seek my end, the enemies,

Bless me always, and may your hand always stay close to me.

Though the world is in deep chaos,

Yet I’ll rejoice in the rest of the Lord.

Though there are wars on every side,

Yet I’ll find peace in the arms of the Lord.

Though there are famines and plagues,

Yet I’ll dwell safely with the Lord.

Though there are several calamities,

Yet I’ll lean on the protection of the Lord.

Though I’m attacked relentlessly,

Yet I’ll be hidden behind the shield of the Lord.

Though people don’t consider me,

Yet I’ll be valuable in the sight of the Lord.

Though all seems to be leading me to nothing,

Yet I’ll trust in the guidance of the Lord.

Though I don’t know what will happen,

Yet I’ll rely on the plan of the Lord.

Prostitution

Prostitution is getting shameless,

It is being dispersed everywhere.

On TV, a person almost naked is appearing,

It is in the song that you sing without noticing.

 

The body is sold like a commodity,

There is no respect, they only want orgy.

People only want to have pleasure,

They do not care about what they will lose.

 

They are losing their dignity,

People are auctioning virginity.

And the worst, there are many supporting,

And to buy it, there is a queue wanting.

 

People do not matter about anything,

Do not matter what the Holy Scriptures are saying.

God said that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit,

And not a thing to be desecrating.

 

Your body is something priceless,

A gift that was given by our Lord.

It is something that we need to preserve,

For anyone, we cannot give.

If you’re giving yourself to everyone,

Stop, in your body, damages are being done.

Assume a posture that is definitive.

Pray to God for a change in your way of living.

 

You will cleanse yourself from all the dirty,

It will purify the temple of your body.

In your life will reign the peace of God.

Your soul will be saved by the Lord.

The Tree That Could Not Grow

Like a tree, I want to grow,

A showy and excellent plant, I want to show.

Let my branches spread out to all sides,

And my treetop and trunk reach the skies.

 

Growing is my innermost heart’s desire,

This thought catches my imagination all the time.

I always seek the best soil for my development,

I always seek ways for self-improvement.

 

I seek pure water streams constantly,

They will supply my needs permanently.

I do my best to achieve success,

But I am not growing; nothing has any effect.

 

After carefully analyzing my situation,

I discovered I live in a sad condition.

I discovered I do not grow because I am surrounded,

I do not grow because I am being obfuscated.

 

There are many big and old trees in the way,

They always try to thwart my plans every day.

None of them supports the way I try to go,

But all of them criticize me when I try to grow.

They say growth is not meant for me,

They say all my actions will do for nothing.

Long ago, these trees stopped dreaming,

Now, their mission is trying to discourage me.

 

I cannot hear them, I cannot stop to fight,

I need exceptional help to improve my life.

This wonderful help will come from that one who created me,

The help of the gardener, the Lord, I will receive.

 

God will open the way to my growth,

Taking off all that was covering me; all the shadows.

The Lord always believes in what I can do,

He always blesses my way and makes something good.

 

Like the gardener, God cared about His creation,

He poured out His blessing and removed any limitations.

I have learned I must trust and believe only in the Lord,

He is the only one who gifts me true love.

God is the unique who will always help me,

My growth will never stop since I continue with Him.
