HEART OF GOD

WHO IS THAT ONE OVER THERE
WITH A BACK PACK LONG SLEEVES AND MESSY HAIR

DRY EYES THAT CRY WITH OUT SHEDDING A TEAR
A HUNGRY MOUTH FROWNING ABOUT THE FEAR

WITH NO HOPE FOR NOW TRY AND NUMB THE SORROW
PROVERBS GIVES WINE TO THE POOR TO MAKE IT TO TOMORROW

WE SHOULD HELP WHO EVER IS IN NEED

'CEPT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD IT COULD BE ME

IF YOU CAN AND YOU DON'T GOD AIN'T IN YOUR HEART
IF YOU DO YOU'LL BE BLESSED SO BE SMART

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF IT WERE YOU
HUNGRY, COLD NO MONEY AND THE FLU

NO SAFE PLACE TO LAY YOUR HEAD
YOU'DE BE LUCKY IF YOU COULD FIND A BED

SOME THINGS WE HAVE TO HAVE
A MAILBOX, FOOD AND A HOT BATH

Clinton MS. 1995

Tell me Lord

Tell me Lord is it not true

that we have alot of work to do?

Are we not supposed to give to the poor

give to the needy when you have blessed us with more?

why then do church goers lock their arms tight

to keep what they have hidden from the light?

They don't care who has a need

as long as it doesn't touch their greed?

yet, they say they are saved and believe

but they think it is more blessed to receive

Why then does this not make since to me

they shut their eyes to the poor so they won't see?

If I am wrong Lord please let me know

But you said in our hearts let Jesus show

Jesus you said to help and to give

pray for the sick this is how to live

To love and forgive everyone

then your work is seen and done

How could they get off the beaten path

of the mercy and compassion the Lord Jesus hath

not stingy and greedy like the scribes and pharisee

a religous hypocrit to enter heaven he has no key

like the rich man who let the leppar at his gate lay and beg

when he saw he was wrong he was in hell he was already dead

or the camel in the needles eye that will never fit

nor will the rich and greedy soul in heaven ever sit

Humble and lowly my Jesus does walk

not prideful or with arrogant talk

One day, maybe soon, we will all like Jesus live

with a heart of compassion to the poor we will give.

1 JOHN 3:17
IT IS MUCH MORE BLESSED TO GIVE
TO BE ABLE TO HAVE WHAT YOU NEED TO LIVE
YOU SEE IF IT WERE THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE COIN
WORRY AND LACK TO YOUR WANT WOULD JOIN
NOT TO MENTION THE WAY IT MAKES YOU FEEL
HUMBLED WITH PAIN AND HURT THAT IS REAL
BUT YOU SEE IF IT WERE THE OTHER SHOE
YOU WOULD FEEL HAPPY TO HELP AND BE BLESSED TOO
GOD SAYS IF WE HAVE WHAT THE OTHER NEEDS
WE SHOULD GIVE IT TO THEM SOWN AS OUR SEEDS
BUT IF WE RESIST AND CLING ON TO THIS
GOD IS NOT IN OUR HEARTS, LOVE IS WHAT WE MISS (1JOHN3:17)
THE WORD ALSO SAYS IF SOMEONE IS IN LACK
OUR FAITH IS DEAD IF WE TURN OUR BACK (JAMES 2:16)
THIS IS MORE REASONS WHY WE SHOULD GIVE
TO RECEIVE IS REALLY THE HARDEST WAY TO LIVE
HAVING ENOUGH FOR OURSELVES AND THEN ENOUGH TO SHARE
IT IS EASIER AND BLESSED TO SHOW THAT YOU CARE
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE IN WANT AND NEED
NO MONEY IN YOUR POCKET T0 DO A GOOD DEED
TODAY ME, MAYBE TOMORROW YOU HIS word Tells Us That Too!

Help End Big Oil Handouts | The Wilderness Society

Help End Big Oil Handouts | The Wilderness Society

As a voice for the middle and lower class back bone blue collar workers who have suffered calamities of loss of home, loss of car, loss of possession (and in some cases even loss of children) I beseech you to stop giving the big billionaire oil companies breaks when the average family doesn't even have a loaf of bread on their table 3 weeks of the month.

Also, on behalf of the world's gentle ecology system that has been far over taxed by the recent radiation spewing into the Pacific from Japan, the newest "BIG" oil spill in the tiny region of the horseshoe shaped - inland - pool like - catch all of the Gulf of Mexico. And on behalf of the thousands of marine life who have painfully suffered by choking on oil or being strangled my plastic from the huge Vortex of Plastic twice the size of the state of Texas and floating in the middle of the ocean between Japan & Hawaii. Plastic is bi-product of oil.

And since I personally know that the BIG Oil companies could care less about their employees or any other people who may be hurting financially even to the point of not having a roof over their head or a car to drive...

I do write to ask that you vote to end subsidies for the oil industry. I ask you to bring an end to these subsidies, which are an unnecessary burden on American taxpayers, and which support an industry that exploits American lands.

These subsidies go to the same industry that is pushing legislation which would expedite offshore development without new safety requirements. The oil industry fights safety inspections, complains about environmental safeguards critical to protecting community water supplies and wildlife refuges, pressures Congress to gut environmental laws and blocks attempts to ensure that the taxpaying public gets fair value through royalties when they exploit the lands that belong to all Americans.

In a budget environment where severe cuts to environmental protection programs, education and programs like Medicare are being threatened, there's no place for the oil industry giveaways that cost taxpayers $40 billion each decade.

I hope you will vote to end giveaways to big oil, and that you will lend your support to increasing renewable clean energy for the U.S.

Tell Clinton to protect our land; say NO to tar sands!

The proposed pipe will actually increase the price of gas in the Midwest. The project could boost what Americans pay for oil by almost $5 billion per year.¹
