OLD BAG

by Bill Kochman

10-14-2020

I don’t drink coffee, and I don’t drink tea,
I don’t drink water, that is from the sea.
Now there’s a good reason, you see I’m old,
So only certain things, my stomach can hold.

Some of you out there, will know what I mean,
I am no longer running, a brand new machine.
It’s got its groans, and it’s got its creaks,
And sometimes, man, it just so really reeks.

I’m not being funny, and I’m not being crude,
I speak the truth, I am really one old dude.
Now you may say, “Oh, it won’t happen to me”,
Just give it years, and you will likewise see.

God gives us each, a certain number of years,
Some days are happy, while others bring tears.
But one of these days, and God surely knows,
The last page comes, and our book will close.

OIL OF THE SPIRIT

by Bill Kochman

08-30-2014

A fish cast out of water,
Will not last very long,
A bird with no singing,
Would be a very sad song.

A frog without his croak,
Would be so strange indeed,
So it is with God’s children,
Of His Spirit we have need.

Without His anointing oil,
We’re so helpless and small,
We won’t burn very brightly,
No one will notice us at all.

OH THIS BODY!

by Bill Kochman

04-15-2014

Out of the Spirit, and in the flesh,
Oh this body can be such a mess.
Quite often sick, other times tired,
It makes it hard, to stay inspired.

Moanin’ n’ groanin’, it won’t give in,
Old man fights new man, who will win?
But God knows best, He has a reason,
Giving us a body, for a short season.

It is His way, to perform His Will,
Reaching others who need Jesus still.
So keep busy for now, and never doubt,
Day comes when our lights will go out.

OH SINFUL NATION!

by Bill Kochman

11-09-2014

Right down the tubes, old Uncle Sam went,
All of God’s Mercy, he foolishly spent.
Passing laws, which angered the Most High,
Then with audacity, he asks God “Why?”.

Killing unborn babies, oh what a crime,
Judgment is coming, God shortens the time.
Take God out of school, and public square,
Other religions are fine, it is so unfair.

Men marry men, and women do the same,
Flaunting their sins, brings us all shame.
Oh sinful nation, repent while you can,
Your Uncle Sam, is just a dirty old man.

ODDBALL REBEL

by Bill Kochman

08-21-2014

I am just an oddball rebel,
A square peg in a round hole,
Tho my body’s falling apart,
I am still young in my soul.

I seem to have a big mouth,
I say exactly what I believe,
Some folks find me offensive,
Well I say get up and leave!

I refuse to cut any corners,
So the Word I share straight,
Truth without compromise,
Would you care for a plate?

NOW I LAY ME

by Bill Kochman

09-10-2012

Now I lay me down to rest,
I pray the Lord I’ve done my best.
I gave this day unto You,
Thank you Lord, You saw me through.

Nothing lacked, my needs were met,
From early dawn, until sunset.
You gave me life another day,
To walk along Your narrow way.

Now I sleep, I close my eyes,
Renew my strength, for new sunrise.
With Your thoughts now inspire me,
That morrow’s work, may please thee.

NOT SO SMART

by Bill Kochman

11-24-2016

When we’re young we think we’re so smart,
Well, much more so than that old fart.
He just sits there with a great big grin,
We have no idea exactly where he’s been.

So we ignore the great wisdom he shares,
Nobody even looks at him, nobody cares.
We get into trouble, stew in our juice,
And soon we’re hanging in our own noose.

We’re not so smart after all, it seems,
That old man with a knowing look beams.
So next time we’ll listen to his advice,
And not be so cocky, and be more nice.

NOT SO FINE HEART

by Bill Kochman

12-15-2016

No one really has a good heart,
No matter what anyone has to say,
Bible gives us a different story,
That can be hard to swallow today.

Moses warns us first in Genesis,
“Only evil continually”, he wrote,
Also that young Prophet Jeremiah,
“Desperately wicked” was his note.

Adultery, fornication and murder,
Also arise from our heart within,
Deception, pride and foolishness,
Are other types of heart-born sin.

NOT FIT FOR HEAVEN

by Bill Kochman

05-31-2019

I know that I am not fit for Heaven,
My sins are by no means just a few,
I’ve made one mistake after another,
Indeed, Lord, my whole life through.

Selfishness was sometimes my motive,
At other times I yielded to plain lust,
My wrongs are a testimony against me,
Jesus, in You alone I know I must trust.

Even though I am so clearly unworthy,
Yet You lovingly gave Your life for me,
There is no way I can ever repay You,
Other than to praise You for eternity.

NOT A SOUL BEHIND

by Bill Kochman

11-27-2016

Some people get discouraged,
They often feel quite small,
Satan has them so convinced,
They have no talents at all.

By looking at their friends,
They feel low on the ladder,
So becoming more depressed,
Say their life doesn’t matter.

But the Lord is really fair,
He leaves not a soul behind,
So pray and wait patiently,
Your talents you will find.

NON-BINARY?

by Bill Kochman

12-22-2016

Away with your non-binary crap,
It’s just that old Devil’s trap,
You want to make your own rules.
But you’re really Satan’s tools.

In Genesis God set His own norms,
Male and female the chosen forms.
His rule is this: heterosexuality,
Not misguided gender neutrality.

Time now to lose your confusion,
Need to forsake Satan’s delusion.
Repent now while you’re still able,
Get rid of that blasphemous label.

NO WAY OUT

by Bill Kochman

06-06-2018

If you’re called to serve the Lord,
I advise you to obey,
If you don’t, it won’t go well,
And you’ll regret it someday.

It is just a waste of time,
So don’t even scream and shout,
Just get it thru your thick head,
There is simply no way out.

You can try to run away,
Just like that old Jonah did,
But don’t forget that big fish,
You want the same? God forbid!

Yes, it’s wiser to submit,
And do as you have been told,
If you’re faithful to the end,
You’ll walk down streets of gold.

NO TAKE-OUT ORDERS

by Bill Kochman

09-21-2014

God wants you to be happy,
Not all hunched in a bunch,
It’s only that fiend Satan,
Who wants to eat you for lunch.

But there’s a very simple way,
To frustrate that serpent’s plan,
It is really no big secret,
It’s been known since time began.

Just fill yourself with the Word,
When he tries to eat you whole,
And he will suddenly discover,
You’re really bitter to his soul.

NO SNOW

by Bill Kochman

12-11-2018

No snow is just fine by me,
I like to live by the sea.
Warm weather all around,
No snow to bring me down.

Always green throughout the year,
Nasty snow I never fear.
On the tropics I am sold,
No thank you ma’am keep your cold.

To each his own we can say,
A heating bill I never pay.
The sunshine is my dear friend,
The cold would surely be my end.

For so much snow I care not,
I like it warm but not too hot.
On my body there’s no fat,
I need to be right where I’m at.

With these words I am now done,
Now it’s time to get some sun.

NO SHAPESHIFTING PLEASE

by Bill Kochman

12-06-2016

Evolution is a strange theory,
It’s all about changing shapes,
We began with just protozoans,
But somehow ended up with apes.

Yet those apes were not happy,
So they decided to change form,
And now the next thing we know,
Homo sapiens are the new norm.

But the Bible speaks otherwise,
In God’s image man was arranged,
Therefore we can only conclude,
Some scientists are deranged.

NO MORE NASTY SWIPES

by Bill Kochman

12-07-2016

The tongue is an unruly member,
So clearly says the Holy Bible,
With it we spread vicious lies,
And commit both slander and libel.

We may think we will get away,
But God has a really big Book,
And there’s a very clear record,
Of each nasty swipe that we took.

So be smart, control your tongue,
And say something nice on this day,
For if you just keep on gossiping,
You will most surely have to pay.

NO LINK I THINK

by Bill Kochman

06-08-2018

They say we all come from apes,
And not from when Eve Adam knew,
But I have to soundly disagree,
Their claims simply are not true.

For many years, as you will know,
They’ve talked of a missing link,
But excuse me for being so blunt,
They just don’t know how to think.

Either that or they know the truth,
But His Word they choose to reject,
So they teach kids all their lies,
And to this I must strongly object.

We came not from monkeys in a tree,
Or from a protoplasm in some lake,
God created us in His own image,
Of this there is just no mistake.

It really comes down to one thing,
You believe the Bible or you don’t,
But if you dare call God a liar,
Going to Heaven you surely won’t.

NO GOOD WORKS

by Bill Kochman

01-13-2017

You may think that you are good,
But if so, you’re just deceived,
Better to thank our God above,
For the Gift that we’ve received.

Nothing on Earth could have done,
What Jesus Christ did for us all,
He gave His life to seal a breach,
That was opened with Adam’s Fall.

There are no good works we can do,
That will ever give us such merit,
So forget that path, accept Jesus,
Then Eternal Life you will inherit.

NO CLAIM TO COMPLAIN

by Bill Kochman

05-27-2018

There’s one thing about us humans,
So often we just like to complain,
We always seem to see the negative,
No matter if it is sunshine or rain.

But maybe we all need to be adjusted,
It seems that our attitude is wrong,
Instead of just constantly groaning,
We should be singing a wonderful song.

After all, God has been so amazing,
He takes care of our every basic need,
Terrible things rarely ever befall us,
Like those newspaper stories we read.

So lift up your heart and praise Him,
Giving thanks for blessings each day,
Remember to trust, love and obey Him.
So that no evil ever comes your way.

NO ACTION JACKSON

by Bill Kochman

03-23-2018

They like to form committees,
But it is really just a ruse,
They talk and talk and talk,
And share each other’s views.

But when the dust has settled,
Things remain just the same,
They do not want a solution,
It is just a political game.

Oh spineless politicians,
How your strings are pulled,
You think we cannot see,
But we’re not being fooled.
