Weeds (1)

Distractions that from God would turn

Would rob us of His peace

Must be to all of grave concern

And caused at once to cease

These are the weeds, the thorns and stones      Lk.8:5-15

Hindering holy lives

Crushing one’s spirit breaking bones

Killing like deadly knives

We’ve all had weeds from time to time

While some may yet remain

Causing to turn one’s life of crime

In search of worldly gain

Beware of all these stones and weeds

Lying concealed within

For are they not the devil’s seed?

That grows to mortal sin?

Unless we dig them up and fight

We’ll toil with nothing done

We need to rise while still there’s light

And seek God’s faithful Son

But how; we ask is this to be?

How is a spirit fought?

How can our flesh, from weeds be free?

How is a demon caught?

In Christ assail, in Christ defend

The Truth; shows when and how

In Jesus’ name, each knee must bend

And every head will bow

Demonic thorns that lead to shame

Through Christ, are plain to see

Fasting prayer in Jesus’ name                     Mt.17:21

Will make these devil’s flee.....

         Weeds (2)

Yet who’ll be rid our worldly cares?

Be healed of sin led pains?

Or do we love the devil’s snares?

Seek comfort through his chains?

Are we displeased with evil things?

So lost in Satan’s ways?

We dance, when ere he pulls our strings

Are we so blind these days?

Dig up, the stones that dim the eye

The weeds that cloud the mind

That lead to lust, to cheat and lie

That make God’s children blind

Dig up, the thorn filled barren ground

Begin the search inside

Wherever deadly weeds are found

We’ll bind them where they hide

Whilst breath is in the body still

In Christ it’s not too late

Be quit of burdens that can kill

Be rid of selfish weight

But this may cause us hurt and pain

May cause to cry and groan

Yet if we want life’s autumn rain               Jas.5:7

We must be rid of stone

In rocky fields, it’s light to sow

But awfully hard to till

The stones divert God’s liquid flow

While weeds receive their fill

Yet still we hold life’s burdens tight

Refuse to let them go

It’s hard through stones to see the Light

And so will it the foe…..

             Weeds (3)

The devil too has planted seed

Amidst The Father’s wheat

On evil thoughts it loves to feed

And thrive on gross deceit

Down deep inside they lie in wait

Pretending not to be!

But on occasion, lust or hate

May rise for all to see

Till then, they hide beneath the earth

Inside one’s flesh and bone

Each evil thought, could swiftly birth

A heart of hardened stone

When this in truth we understand

It’s time to turn to God

In Christ, to clean, to plough the land

And turn up rock and  sod

Rip out the roots, each evil weed

Allow no stone remain

So God may sow His righteous seed

And send His precious rain                       Jas.5:7

From self, no thorn will fade away

No stone, will turn to dust

But if we wield God’s sword today

They’ll fall with every thrust

If in true faith, we doubt each doubt

We smile, where others frown

There’s not a stone we can’t cast out

No weed, we can’t cut down

Upon the heap they’ll meet the flame

As refuse, each will die

While rain to us in Jesus’ name

With love will pour from high…..
