Demonstrating Gratitude

We have to be faithful to the Lord,

He already has blessed us a lot.

He gives us life every day,

He gives us daily bread all day.

 

To God, we can promise something,

As was said, we must do everything.

We cannot promise things in vain,

We must not have falsehood in our heart.

 

If a grace the Lord has given you,

And a commitment with God was made by you,

Everything that your heart said, you have to do,

On the commitment to the Lord, you must be faithful.

 

We must give the best for the vote to the Lord,

We did not receive the worst from God,

A pleasant sacrifice, we must do,

Being honored in the time to be grateful.

 

The thanks are very important,

Because it shows that we are not arrogant.

It shows that from the Lord, we are dependent.

And we are conscious of all our commitments.

The Birth

Two thousand years ago, something very special happened,

In a small town, Bethlehem, a child was born.

It was not a usual birth,

It was the greatest event in the history of the Earth.

 

One new star came to enlighten the world.

It was Jesus Christ, our Lord.

He came to teach us the truth.

The truth is that only He can save us!

 

God has sent Him to free us.

We are freed from eternal death through Jesus,

He forgives all our transgressions,

Then, with God, we have a true connection.

 

All praise and glory be given to the Lord,

Even though we are flawed, He loved us.

Giving his only son to rescue us,

He has paid a very high price,

To do the will of the Father.

Forgiveness at the Last Hour

On your side, I was been crucified,

I was a bandit condemned.

I had no hope about anything,

I was only sure that my death was coming.

 

Nothing would change for me,

Of the condemnation, I could not flee.

They will put to end my life,

I thought no one could save me at that time.

 

On my side, I saw a lord.

Some people called him Saviour,

And others charged him as an evildoer.

I saw something different in that man.

Even if being crucified,

He did not abandon his love for them.

 

I gave attention to this man,

I felt he was not an ordinary man,

He seemed to be a great king!

I said, ‘Lord, remember me,

When in your kingdom you to get in,’

And from him came the answer:

‘Today in paradise, you will be with me.’

 

My hope was revived,

Something good, that man promised,

He did not want to condemn me,

He preferred to forgive and save me.

 

For the glory of Christ, I am going,

I will be together with the great King,

Because my soul pleased Him,

He forgave me for all my sins,

To thee, I deliver my spirit, Lord.

To eternal life, I will go with you.

The Sinners

All mankind are sinners,

They stay delivered to their passions.

They live without fear.

They are submerged in much pain and tears.

 

Each one walks to one side,

Saying: This is right,

What I am doing is not a sin,

There is no mistake in what I am doing.

 

In this way, too many are living,

In the sin, many of them are dying.

No one can be saved,

Everyone is living to sin.

 

They do not admit they are sinning,

They commit all kinds of wrongdoing,

And they think they are doing a good thing.

In fact, to their condemnation, they are walking.

 

They need to change their ways,

Not only in the manner to behave.

The salvation, they need to know,

They need to have Jesus in their hearts and souls.

 

Only the Lord can forgive everyone,

Only God has the grace to give everyone.

The Lord will erase the sins,

For the sinner, a new time will be coming.

Work

To survive, it is needed to work,

If we want to have something,

We need to fight for everything.

Because nobody will get anything without fighting.

 

We always must trust in God,

But you cannot be lazy and make no effort.

There are many things you have to do,

For other things to happen to you.

 

The Lord ordered the work for everyone,

Then nobody will escape from what must be done.

It was an order from the Lord since the creation,

He said humans must work to get their provisions.

 

So that God may bless you,

There are many things you can always do.

Then the Lord sees your persistence,

And God's prosperity will be over you.

 

It will not be only in the material your prosperity,

It will be mainly in everything related to spirituality.

God will work on you,

And in all areas of your life, you will improve.

 

Ask God for strengths to continue in your fight,

Those who work, He will fortify.

All necessary help, God will provide,

Then you will always fructify.

Hears and Does not Practice

The words of God, many people will hear,

They hear the message only to get happier,

But in their lives, nothing will change.

The statutes of God, they will not practice.

They became someone like a believer-atheist,

They act like God did not exist.

The name of the Lord is always on their lips,

But their lives show they do not fear Him.

They are doing everything for self-satisfaction,

They want to fulfill all their desires and imaginations.

The instructions coming from God, they will negate,

Because they know they do not follow good ways.

They still use these audacious words:

There was never any wickedness in our works.

These words will testify against them,

It will be shown the evil made by their hands.

Before the Lord, they will suffer the accusation,

There will be no way to be free of condemnation.

In their lives, they forgot the Lord in all moments,

And after death, they will perish with pain and torment.

Other Things

The Lord, you can be following,

But sometimes, you are serving other things.

There are things the Lord did not command you,

Things that attract you.

 

These things will separate you from the Lord,

You will not be firm with God.

You will be inclined to human desires,

God's purpose, your heart will put aside.

 

Seeing this, God will sadden,

Seeing that He is losing a son.

God created and loved him, but He is losing him,

Now the person goes after what did not create him.

 

The attention of the person keeps divided,

She follows other teachings and also the Bible.

God is being kept aside,

Other things are always in her mind.

 

God does not tolerate this division!

He wants his sons with full dedication.

His glory, God does not accept to divide!

His people must dedicate to Him their lives.

 

Following the wickedness path,

The person deviates from righteousness.

They are building lies in his heart,

From God and his salvation, they keep apart.
