UNYIELDING HONOR
Weakness invites moral plight, war and aggression
Encouraged by mistrust, misjudgment and delay.
All we love can be destroyed and transformed
By the powers of darkness maneuvering our way.
When something wicked stares us in the face
To corrupt our morals, faith and resolve.
God gives us courage to defend what’s right
No matter the sacrifice or danger involved.
Evil seeks to destroy the good in man
And silence the memory of God’s law.
It’s up to the faithful to stay unyielding
Defending the liberty and justice of all.
Our men and woman who serve in harm’s way
Are the armor of what the free world depends on.
Without their sacrifice of body and soul
All that we stand for is gone.
Honor, morality, faith and integrity
Are the glue which holds society in place.
Pornography, hate, jealousy and greed
Cause man to be plagued by disgrace.
Night and day we’re informed by headlines
Which seem to give evil added time.
Always at war killing one another
In our world full of valance and crime.
Be thankful for the upright among us
Who desire to obey God’s laws.
Repentant when wrong they change their ways
Serving the rest of us despite our flaws.
Honor, morality, faith and integrity
Are what life’s heroes are made of.
Defending what’s right; confronting what’s wrong
Propelled by achievement, and love.

WISDOM IS EVERLASTING
When the voice of wisdom cries out
The grace of God is never-ending.
Search for those who highlight the worthy
And shun what is selfish and condescending.
Wisdom is better than the touch of woman
Rubies, silver or kingdoms of gold.
Blessed are those who follow God’s path
Without fear of their deeds being told.
Man’s fear of death sustains his repentance
As God’s seed of Goodness stirs within.
When sinners entice you, refuse consent
For the shameless shall suffer without end.
When the gift of wisdom glorifies your heart
And the harmony of knowledge is pleasant to your soul.
You will be delivered from the deeds of ignorance
As the numbers of the wicked register their toll.
God’s wisdom is inspiration of spirit
In every thing we consume and employ.
Knowledge is mankind’s only hope
Of fulfillment, purpose and joy.
