You Dial Me Up, I’m A Telephone
Most of the time I call you
I find you in bed, and this is true!
Other times I call, the phone is off the hook
And you wanted to be listed in the phone book ?
You dial me up, I’m a telephone
That system you have, makes me moan
You dial me up , I’m a telephone
It’s easier to reach you when you aren’t home !
A lot of the time I call around ten o’clock
It’s like I have to watch you like a hawk !
Then in the evenings, it’s the same thing
Now your phone can’t ding-a-ling !
And this is madness, I say !
This happens day after day !
You have to remember to check your phone
That system causes me to moan
You dial me up, I’m a telephone
I can’t call you when you’re home
You dial me up, I’m a telephone
I can’t even get a dial tone !
The Willard Incident
Fifteen till eight on Sunday
Jamie threw the ice away
Trinity on the other hand
Ate a sandwich made of sand
Then while watching cartoons
She fell down on a spoon
Goodness, Trinity get back up !
Jamie is no bigger than the cup
Other Version -
It was almost eight on Sunday
Jamie threw the contents of the cup away
Meanwhile, Trinity was eating a sandwich
Prior to a blue rubber ball getting pitched
During some cartoon program
Trinity fell on a spoon full of jam
She suddenly got right back up !
Seems that Jamie is the size of a cup
Next Twelve Years
Come on in, let’s talk awhile
You cheer us up with a that smile
Time passes along so quickly
I remember when we’d visit weekly
You bring sunlight into our lives
Just before the evening arrives
What are your goals, gives as a peek
We hope you find whatever you seek
Take care and stay in touch
We think of you very much !
Until we meet again someday
Remember for you, we will pray !
Star Withdrawal
Up on the hill is a steel framed star
High wattage bulbs to be seen from afar
A traditional spiritual experience
We go crazy from its absence
Night after night we look for the shine
It should be lit up any time
I have moments when I can’t recall
How to cure this star withdrawal
I can’t clear my mind
From the star I can not find
I am having strange symptoms
Because of the star you’ve taken from me !
Light up that star up on the hill
As you can see, for me it is a thrill
Shining all the way down Main Street
During this season it is really neat !
On The Road To Birk
Early Sunday morning as they walk
Into the church many flock
People got saved, to get through
Not afraid to die, but no one wanted to
The weather cool, but refreshing
Familiar hymns they would sing
O Lord give us a few more days
And forgive us for our evil ways
It’s the future that we fear, I assume
Facing that day of personal doom
Although there is that guiding light
Whether it come day or night
After the service had ended
The nap angel had descended
Time moves on ever so quickly
There is serenity from here to Cherokee
Broken Gates
This is a true story of some broken gates
Caused by a Man who the owner still hates
It was an event in history of amazement
On a day when thick steel was easily bent
On the day back when the Son of God died
All of the demons quickly ran to hide
A great earthquake was suddenly felt
Within the much religious Jewish belt
Jesus descended into a place called Sheol
It was the place of the dead, it was very full
Soon after Jesus gave up His spirit
The gates of the dead received a hard hit !
This is what caused the earthquake
And He did it just for the saint’s sake
While down in the land of the dead
Jesus stepped up to Satan and said
It is time for My people to be set free !
Apparently, you don’t realize the power of Me !
My crucifixion was of My own choice !
You didn’t have a vote, nor a voice
And I will be back again someday !
You and your army won’t stand in My way !
Satan was in trembling shock
As he listened to the Mighty Rock !
The little demons listened from corners
Shaking and crying like feeble mourners
When Jesus left Satan’s smoky home
He also tore apart the red fiery dome
Satan lied to his army of demons that day
As soon as the Son of God went away
Listen ! Jesus was bluffing; He didn’t win
I control all evil that controls the sin !
Forgiveness doesn’t exist, forget it !
Then Satan tried to close the gates that Jesus hit
The gates were bent beyond repair
Satan lied again and said, I don’t care !
Satan lost a lot of color that very morning
As he heard of the King of kings warning
Never has Hell ever been the same
All for the believer’s in Jesus’ name
This is the true accounts of the news
From the demons who always lose
This is the great news up above Hell
Shouting loud from the church bells
Jesus is the Victor in all situations !
Whether we are hard at work, or on vacation 1
Even if we have to face a double edged sword !
Jesus remains the King of kings
…and the Lord of lords !
