There is a sound that the people are aware of. When I write poetry, you will hear Jehovah God and his son Jesus and the Holy Spirit in them. Not something that you have to guess at wondering if the poem is talking about Jehovah God, His Son Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit.

Chapter One

    EVANGELISTIC JOURNEY

    This evangelistic journey,
    I count it to be,
    The most rewarding part of life.

    I am blessed with a bounty
    To live with Jesus Christ
    For eternal life.

    His peace surpasses
    All understanding.
    He also gives me
    Strength, good courage and might.

    There is no place I would rather be
    Than with Jesus Christ,
    Who protects and guides my life.

    Jesus said to have good cheer,
    Even when trouble comes my way.
    He said He would take me through it.
    It's His word I trust and obey.

    This evangelistic journey,
    I count it to be
    The most rewarding part of life.


    GOD IS CALLING YOU

    God is calling you.
    God is calling you.
    God is calling you.
    God is calling you.

    He's calling you out of this world of sin
    Into His marvelous light,
    If you would only bear your cross with Him and follow
    Him down the road to eternal life.

    You will experience peace, joy, might.
    You will encounter faith's blessed insight.
    Whatever things you need, just ask Jesus and He will provide.
    Call on Jesus and He will provide.

    God is calling you.


    I'M COMING

    I'm coming.
    I'm coming,
    Coming to deliver my soul to the Lord.

    He came to me when l was down.
    He showed me how to lose my ungodly frown.
    He said to praise and believe in His Word and His name,
    Then to remember a prayer before I lay to sleep in my bed.

    I'm coming.
    I'm coming,
    Coming to deliver my soul to the Lord.

    To do His will living by the Holy Scriptures,
    I made that promise to Him,
    Trusting He will safely guide me to
    His glorious eternal heaven.

    I'm coming.
    I'm coming,
    Coming to deliver my soul to the Lord.


    DEPEND ON THE LORD

    Depend on the Lord.
    Depend on the Lord.
    Depend on the Lord.
    Depend on the Lord.

    There are five scriptures
    I want to present to you
    In order to
    Bring you a closer walk with God.

    Romans 3 and 23 says, "For we have all sinned and come short of the
    glory of God."

    Romans 6 and 23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, But the gift of
    God is eternal life
    Through Jesus Christ, our Lord."

    Acts 16 and 31 says, "And they said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
    and thou shalt be saved and thy house."

    Romans 10 and 9-13 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
    the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised
    Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

    "For with the heart, man believe unto righteousness,
    And with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

    For the scriptures saith,
    "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."

    "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. For the
    same Lord overall is rich unto all that call upon Him."

    "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

    Second Corinthians 5 and 17 says, "Therefore, if any man be in Christ,
    he is a new creature. Old things are passed away; behold, all things
    are become new.

    And this is what I want you all to do,

    Depend on the Lord.
    Depend on the Lord.
    Depend on the Lord.
    Depend on the Lord.


    MINING CLOTHES

    I've got my mining clothes on today,
    Mining for all those who will go God's way,

    And wanting nothing except
    To go down the paths of righteousness,
    Believing that God will take us
    Through the hardest kinds of test.

    I've got my mining clothes on today,
    Mining for all those who will go God's way,

    Mining in the shadows protected by
    God's rod and God's staff,
    Picking those who will go through
    The world's hot burning furnace.

    I've got my mining clothes on today,
    Mining for all those who will go God's way.

    I know He's coming soon
    To take us in a mighty haste.
    My prayer is that when He comes,
    You and I won't be late.

    I've got my mining clothes on today.
    I've got my mining clothes on today.
    I've got my mining clothes on today.


    OH, LORD

    Oh, Lord,
    Give me
    A righteous
    Heart.

    That I
    May be
    A working
    Part

    In this world
    To reveal
    The truth
    Of your Word

    To all people
    Who have not yet heard.

    Oh, Lord, you said
    All my needs
    Would be added
    Unto me

    If I
    Only
    Would have faith
    To believe,

    That I first
    Must seek the things
    That are truly
    Heavenly,

    So this world
    Won't have power over me.

    Oh, Lord, you mean
    More to me
    Than what I mean
    To myself.

    I will do
    Your will first
    And put first,
    No one else,

    Not add to
    Or take from
    What your Word
    Has to say.

    Lord, I want
    To be in heaven one day.


    SING THE SONG

    Don't sing this song because of me.
    And, don't sing this song because the music is sweet.
    Don't sing this song because it makes you pat your feet.
    Those things are all just material things.

    Sing the song because the words are complete
    In telling about Jesus and His ministry.
    God said first seek the kingdom
    Then you may receive
    All that you're looking for in material things.
    When trouble
    I've got to face,
    I look to Jesus
    And His saving grace.
    Then, I wait on Him
    With a smile on my face.
    Well, I'm working in faith with His word
    Along with the ministering that I've heard.
    I've got a hope
    That has been assured,
    That God will work it out.
    I know that God will work it out.
    I know that God will work it all out.


    I'M STANDING

    I'm standing
    For the prayer warriors
    In this county
    That is mine.
    Like a roadmap,
    God has made me
    To show the prayer warriors where to pray in the spirit every time.

    I'm standing
    Against the problems
    In this county
    That is mine.
    Like the mayor elected
    To serve His city,
    God has elected me
    To serve mine.

    I'm standing
    For the lost people
    In this county
    That is mine.
    Like a lighthouse,
    God has made me
    To show the lost people how to be found.

    I'm standing
    For the sinners
    In this county
    That is mine.
    Like a vaccine,
    God has made me
    To purge the wicked and evil mind.

    Fornieles Boyd Richburg
    I'm standing
    Against the power of darkness
    In this county
    That is mine.
    Like radar,
    God has made me
    So that evil darkness I may find.

    I'm standing
    For the undelivered
    In this county
    That is mine.
    Like a postman,
    God has made me
    To bring true deliverance in people's lives.


    HE'S STILL MY BROTHER

    He's still my brother,
    Although he's on the other
    Side of the river,
    Across the bridge in my county.

    Although they may falter
    And few times at the altar,
    Brothers and sisters,
    Let me help you find your way back home again.

    It's just like the times you remember
    We spent when all things were right back then.

    This expressed clarification
    Will bring a deep reflection

    Of the flying truth divine dove,
    The one overflowing with love.


    THE RAINBOW IS OUT

    The rainbow is out
    To let you know
    That the storm is over.

    Put your hands together.
    Thank God for the Son,
    Through stormy weather
    God has brought you from.

    The Son has risen
    On high above
    For everyone,
    The blessed Son.


    MY LORD

    My Lord is so good to us.
    My Lord is so marvelous.
    My Lord is the king of
    A heaven full of saints who are victorious.

    My Lord has set me free.
    My Lord takes care of me.
    My Lord is full of peace,
    Because the God I serve understands all things.

    My Lord is full of love.
    My Lord is glorious.
    My Lord is the highest judge.
    The day is coming when God will judge all of us

    Faith, love, joy, and wisdom are the treasures
    God will put in your bosom.

    These treasures are more divine than what gold, silver,
    Or any jewel that may come to your mind.

    My Lord.


    CARING

    I want to be a part of a caring ministry.
    I want to be a part of a caring ministry.
    I want to be a part of a caring ministry,

    So that I will have a chance to know how to love to live for God,

    To know all things are secondary except God, for He is first.
    I let Him be my foundation to build up my faith smartly,

    Loving the gifts that God gives to the church,
    So Christians may develop a charitable heart.

    Living for God, you will show yourself as a servant with a thirst
    To teach in this world that God is the most important part.

    I want to be a part of a caring ministry.
    I want to be a part of a caring ministry.
    I want to be a part of a caring ministry,

    So that I will have a chance to know how to love to live for God.


    TRUE PRAYER

    True prayer never comes crying home.

    Whatsoever things you desire
    When you pray,
    Believe you receive them
    And you shall have them.


    GODS INSTRUMENT #1

    I am a G.I.
    God's instrument
    Trained to obey
    What God in His Word, His Inspired Word, has to say.

    I am a G.I.
    God's instrument
    Trained to obey
    What organized government has to say.

    I am a G.I.
    God's instrument
    Trained to obey
    How Jesus said to serve my fellow man.

    I am a G.I.
    God's instrument.
    I honor Him with my substance
    And with tithes and freewill offering.

    I am a G.I.
    God's instrument.
    Trained without carnal weapons,
    But they're mighty through God's powerful hands.

    I am a G.I.
    God's instrument.
    God said if I abide in Him and His Word abides in me,
    To ask Him whatsoever, then I will receive.


    THE COMPANY CALLS #2

    When you find yourself yielding
    To a remedy unsolved
    Where the interest is progress
    In degrees for all,

    When things start to falter,
    There is no movement at all.

    That's the time that one will find you
    With the right set of balls.

    So get ready for stitches
    Because the company calls.

    Where the brass parts untarnished,
    Well-kept 100-fold,

    And the silver parts are righteous

    And the gold antique old.

    Well, I've got an answer
    For these questions untold.

    Get ready for the stitches
    Because the company calls.

    Well, faith grows from day to day.
    That's why I come this a-way.

    I've got a burden that groans for
    All those out the way.

    Who will have compassion for
    Whoever they might be?

    Gonna pull down those strongholds
    On all who haven't claimed the victory.

    So, get ready for the stitches
    Because the company calls.

    DIVINE PARADISE #3

    Tennessee is a place
    Not far from West Virginia.

    I met a belle
    Sweeter than apple pie.

    And this girl, she changed
    My entire world to a place
    Called divine Paradise.

    Paradise is a place
    Rule by the Father of grace.

    The author, the finisher of the Christian life

    In Jesus is the name
    That I confessed when I became

    Changed from a defeated life.
