PERSECUTION EXECUTION
by Bill Kochman
12-08-2016
Persecution comes in many forms,
Demons rage and the Devil storms.
It may just be some simple word,
A nasty thing said that you heard.
Or maybe a teacher in your class,
He dislikes you, so you can’t pass.
Your boss doesn’t believe in God,
So he taunts you and finds you odd.
Ungodly neighbors scream and shout,
They just wish you would move out.
But whatever battles come your way,
God shall reward you on that Day.

PERSECUTION
by Bill Kochman
01-10-2017
Persecution is nothing to be ashamed of,
It is not like you did something wrong,
But Satan has a way of twisting things,
Don’t be tricked by his deceptive song.
He’ll claim that you missed God’s mark,
Now He is aimed to get you really good,
That fiend will try all tricks he knows,
He’d make you believe him if he could.
But don’t entertain him for one minute,
Know that when you suffer for His Name,
The Lord is there right by your side,
And it is they who will take the blame.

PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS
by Bill Kochman
07-26-2014
There has been no blood or prison bars,
No electric shock so you see the stars,
You haven’t been crucified on a cross,
Nor suffered any kind of serious loss,
Yet you whine, murmur and complain,
You say that you are in so much pain,
It is time to wake up my dear friend,
Your trials are by no means the end,
Your troubles are really quite few,
If persecution came what would you do?
Would you really stand up to the test?
Would you backslide like all the rest?

PEOPLE OR SHEEPLE?
by Bill Kochman
03-16-2019
We often believe what we’ve heard,
Never doubting not a single word,
Blinded sheep, we follow the herd,
I’ve never seen anything so absurd.
Oh we can all be such a sorry lot,
Swallowing lies tho truth it’s not,
If our leaders in a lie are caught,
Still we nod “yes” to all their rot.
With our comforts we feel so fine,
Tho our politicians cross the line,
Keep us secure and we won’t whine,
Look at our nation, it’s in decline.
Lies in the pulpit, we climb aboard,
Tho it is not the Word of the Lord,
Such deceptions we cannot afford,
For God will send a terrible sword.
It’s time to wake up and be alert,
With God’s truth we should be girt,
By the Spirit, we must all assert,
Fail in this, it’s to our own hurt.

PAWING TO HELL
by Bill Kochman
01-05-2017
I’m so sorry you’re behind bars,
But it was of your own making,
Jesus Christ offered us freedom,
It was really yours for the taking.
But in your foolish, stubborn pride,
You chose instead to trust the law,
Now you work so hard for Salvation,
As you just scratch and dig and paw.
I can tell you now it is all useless,
You will never get out of your cell,
Unless you repent and turn to Jesus,
You’ll paw yourself straight to Hell.

PACIFIERS
by Bill Kochman
11-26-2017
Oh how baby loves his pacifier,
Don’t dare try to take it out,
If you make such a foolish move,
He’ll fight and scream and shout.
How dare you try to take away,
What gives him pleasure so grand,
Do it again, you’ve been warned,
That kid may even bite your hand.
Our babies always seem so cute,
Cooing so sweetly all the time,
But just take what’s in his mouth,
And he will commit a major crime.
Just like old Jekyll and Hyde,
He will turn into a wild beast,
His growls will even scare the dog,
As on your hand he begins to feast.
So it’s best to leave the kid alone,
Let him suck on that rubber thing,
After all, you need both your hands,
To do just about everything.

OVER A CLIFF
by Bill Kochman
02-23-2017
I’ve totally lost faith in the news media,
The past year has been the absolute worst,
I can barely even look at their headlines,
It is time to put those orgs in a hearse.
Just go and drive them over a cliff line,
Seriously, I honestly just do not care,
Their reporting has become so distorted,
Nothing about their stories is even fair.
On and on those sad reporters continue,
As their words butcher, murder and cut,
I hope the hearse doesn’t have problems,
Please don’t get stuck in a muddy rut.

OUTSIDER
by Bill Kochman
05-26-2018
The ungodly world is out to get you,
Oh yes, you better believe they are,
They scheme to take control of you,
Just like some bug trapped in a jar.
No room for any independent thinking,
Just like sardines packed so tight,
We must all conform to their ways,
If we don’t want to feel their bite.
They’re the ones who make the rules,
Though their laws aren’t always fair,
But just you dare try to complain,
And you’ll see they don’t really care.
The game will never be in your favor,
Wake up, the truth you need to face,
You’re just not a part of their world,
God has for you a much better place.
The Lord made you to be an outsider,
Like all of the Saints of years ago,
You’re a fellow stranger and pilgrim,
Isn’t it about time that you know?

OUT OF BALANCE
by Bill Kochman
07-30-2014
God is in the wind, rain and sunshine too,
In the green forests, and the oceans blue.
In the mountaintops, and the valleys below,
Creation is His, He wants us all to know.
All these great things, by Him came to be,
Proofs of His deep love, for all eternity.
But they mean nothing, if we turn from Him,
And yield to our pride, and the sin within.
All out of balance, done by our own hands,
Satan messed things up, had his dirty plans.
But God can restore us, reborn thru His Son,
Accept Christ today, let His will be done.

OUR SINS
by Bill Kochman
11-24-2016
Our personal sins condemn us daily,
We know them intimately every one,
They endeavor to drag us all down,
From rising moon to the setting sun.
They tell us that we are not worthy,
And we should just give up the fight,
But there is something to remember,
The Blood of Jesus makes us alright.
So although we are far from perfect,
Oft times weak and not very strong,
By God’s Grace we shall continue,
Till we hear the great victory song.

OUR DEFENSE ATTORNEY
by Bill Kochman
12-12-2016
If you run a stop light,
You will get a citation,
If you don’t pay a fine,
It will mean damnation.
Our Heavenly Father too,
Operates in the same way,
A fine of certain death,
Waits if we don’t obey.
Keeping all God’s Laws,
Is not possible to do,
Jesus is our Attorney,
Who waived what is due.

OPIOID LOVER
by Bill Kochman
01-01-2017
Oh you just love your opioids,
They just take that pain away,
But are you taking way too many,
More than your doctor had to say?
Has need turned into addiction,
Convinced that so much is okay,
Have you so deceived yourself,
Thinking you won’t have to pay?
You thought that you could cheat,
And get your highs a legal way,
But if you keep popping pills,
You’ll meet the dirt someday.

ONLY BY HIS BLOOD
by Bill Kochman
05-12-2014
It used to be said, better dead than red,
But there’s another way to understand it,
Covered by His Blood, hides all our mud,
Or our sins, so we’re not left stranded.
For if we are not red, we’ll end up dead,
Eternal Life won’t be ours for the taking,
Our sins will accuse us, when Satan sues us,
So in needing Christ, there’s no mistaking.
Only by His Blood red, can it truly be said,
That forgiveness of sins can be acquired,
But if we believe not, in a place very hot,
One day we’ll surely find ourselves retired.

ONLINE LASSES
by Bill Kochman
09-29-2020
I never knew it would be like this,
When I finally reached my old age,
It seems all of the young ladies,
Absolutely think that I’m the rage.
I receive so many lovely invitations,
Man, I am just really so impressed,
Because these online women are eager,
Before me they want to get undressed.
Wow, I look at my notifications menu,
It is bursting with dozens of invites,
I guess I don’t really need to worry,
This man won’t be having lonely nights.
My friends, yes, I am of course joking,
It’s truly sad the way these folks act,
Half of them are most likely not women,
And it’s doubtful that they are stacked.
So if you suddenly receive such messages,
I urge you to be smart and to take care,
These people are just out for your money,
They use sexy pics to trap you, so beware.

ONLINE BULLYING
by Bill Kochman
11-25-2016
Some people can be so aggressive,
They bully others left and right,
With no regard for their feelings,
Online it’s such a terrible plight.
Hiding in the Internet’s shadows,
They abandon measuring their word,
Attacking much more delicate souls,
With a ferociousness never heard.
But such behavior leads to tragedy,
When harsh words cut like a knife,
Some people just can’t handle it,
They may end up taking their life.

ONE SCREW LOOSE
by Bill Kochman
01-05-2017
“Life after death?” they all mock,
“You really got one screw loose”,
But what they just don’t realize,
It will be their head in the noose.
They think that I’m just so crazy,
With all my endless talk of God,
But they won’t be laughing someday,
When the Lord pulls out His rod.
So go ahead and call me a big fool,
Or whatever name is in your book,
You’ll be cast out into darkness,
While I drink from the Holy Brook.

ONE OR THE OTHER
by Bill Kochman
10-02-2019
Why are you in denial,
Of the body you possess,
We are all male or female,
Yes, no more and no less.
Now, when I look at you,
I see only a guy or a gal,
So all of your confusion,
It surely comes from Hell.
Our God made no mistake,
In the body that He gave,
Whether you like it or not,
You’ll take it to the grave.
You’re clearly not a “we”,
Nor a “they” or even an “it”,
So please accept your gender,
And all this nonsense quit.

ONE
by Bill Kochman
12-16-2016
Jesus prayed that we’d be united,
Only one Shepherd and one flock,
Paul too said one mind, one faith,
But now look how Christians talk.
Satan has the Church so divided,
Strange doctrines more than a few,
If Jesus came this very day & hour,
I wonder what He would really do.
A firm rebuke might be on His mind,
I think this would indeed be fair,
It’s time to get our house in order,
This disunity we can no longer bear.

OLD PEOPLE
by Bill Kochman
04-16-2014
Old people, they say, are from another time,
They’re useless has-beens, not worth a dime.
Merely a drain on Earth’s limited resources,
Like racetrack animals, retired old horses.
Just push them aside, make room for the rest,
Pretend they’re not there, hope for the best.
But foolish are those who think in this way,
For their elders have many wise things to say.
A life full of lessons learned from the Lord,
We’d be better off taking heed to their word.
Special treasures in our very midst are they,
For His reasons, God has allowed them to stay.

OLD MAN MOSES
by Bill Kochman
11-28-2017
Oh yes, that old man Moses,
We have all heard his tale,
How God gave him a mission,
He thought that he would fail.
When the Lord called to him,
From a bush that was on fire,
Sore afraid Moses answered,
Oh God, but I am not for hire!
I don’t even know Your Name,
And I can hardly even speak,
Surely You are just mistaken,
About the one You really seek.
Those Israelites won’t accept,
I am a messenger sent by God,
They’ll think that I am crazy,
Or at least a rather bit odd.
Yet despite his reservations,
Moses did as he’d been shown,
It was obviously so pointless,
For him to just moan and groan.
So armed with a shepherd’s staff,
And some miracles up his sleeve,
Dear Moses marched off to Egypt,
To find out who would believe.
As many Christians already know,
God did wonders in that land,
After Pharaoh had been humbled,
They were freed by His own hand.
