O' soul

O' soul, art thou broken?
There is a healer who healeth thy broken soul
O' soul, art thou wounded?
There is a binder who bindeth up the wounded soul
O' soul art thou weary?
There is a rest-giver who giveth rest to thy weary soul
O' soul art thou heavy laden?
There is a load-taker who taketh the load from thy soul
O' soul art thou troubled?
There is a peace-giver who granteth peace to thy soul
O' soul art thou sick?
There is a super-physician who healeth thy sick soul
O' soul art thou needy?
There is a supplier who supplieth to thy needy soul
O' soul art thou defenseless?
There is a defender who defendeth thy soul
O' soul art thou humiliated?
There is a lifter who lifteth up thy humiliated soul
O' soul art thou afflicted?
There is a comforter who taketh the afflictions of thy soul
O' soul art thou weak?
There is a strong tower who giveth strength to thy weak soul
O' soul art thou rudderless?
There is a captain who hath the rudder for thy soul
O' soul art thou lost?
There is a cartographer who guideth thy lost soul
O' soul art thou helpless?
There is a helper who lendeth help to thy helpless soul
O' soul art thou hopeless?
There is a guarantor who guaranteeth hope for thy hopeless soul
O' soul art thou battling?
There is a conqueror who giveth victory to thy battling soul
O' soul art thou unprotected?
There is a protector who covereth thy soul
O' soul art thou saved?
There is a savior who saveth thy soul

Temptation

Temptation - a tactic the enemy brings
Attraction - a mockery the worldly prince projects
Deception - is all my foe possesses
Destruction - a banner the Satan hoists

Temptation - a deadly one the Lord of Lords says
Recognition - only through the divine wisdom my Master gives
Prevention - only by the armor my King provides
Jubilation - the height of joy the Lamb of God grants

Temptation - a dart from the predator, the winner resists
Fixation - eyes on nothing but Jesus, the winner fixes
Manifestation - power of the Holy Spirit, the winner experiences
Exultation - the ultimate cheer of defeating the devil, the winner so deserves

Based on James 4:7, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

Vanity of Vanities

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity
Life we live and death we die, that is vanity
Knowledge we gain and sorrow we increase, that is vanity
Wisdom we run after and emptiness we experience, that is vanity
Race we finish and new race we begin, that is vanity
Love we long for and hatred we gain, that is vanity
Toil we on the soil and join we the soil soon, that is vanity
Reap we the harvest and hunger we the next day, that is vanity
Peace we say and wars we wage, that is vanity
Laughter we laugh and cry we all along, that is vanity
New rhyme we sing and lo, that was already sung, that is vanity
Satellites we launch and explored we nothing, that is vanity
Businesses we start and paupers we make, that is vanity
Intelligence we possess and nought we are, that is vanity
Sun we await for and notice we the setting, that is vanity
Stars we see and look we for a new star, that is vanity
Mansions we build and live we elsewhere, that is vanity
Behold, from start to finish, all is vanity
Clarity we need on who Christ is, for all is vanity

Achy-Baky

These nerves they ache and bake
Yet thou helpedst to rise as a sweet cake
Thy matchless grace has captured this hake
Now I behold thy precious make

A lump o' clay that toiled for desires so fake
Unworthy am I of thy take
Yet a vessel of honor thy fingers make
All meet for my Master's sake

O' Jesus thou art the lone lover of my soul
Thine am I and thine shall I ever be!
