JOY OF YOUTH
by Bill Kochman
12-20-2016
The vibrancy of one’s youth,
Is indeed a sight to behold,
They’ve no idea what awaits,
Once they grow tired and old.
Full of joy & so much energy,
That seems boundless and free,
It’s such wonderful laughter,
For an old person such as me.
May children enjoy their time,
While problems seem far away,
Someday they must all grow up,
Hopefully to make a better day.

JOURNEY TO HUMILITY
by Bill Kochman
10-18-2014
The journey was long, I played my card,
I tried it my way, it was oh so hard.
Time after time, I made a big mess,
I had no peace, I only knew stress.
I fell on my face, I laid in the dirt,
Somebody help me, take away my hurt.
I knew not then God had His eye on me,
He saw me suffer, but said it had to be.
My pride was so great, I did not know,
God had to break me, and bring me low.
Now I’m so thankful, He gave me a shove,
He knocked me down, with His tough love.

JOHN 3:16
by Bill Kochman
01-06-2017
For God so loved the world,
He gave His only Son,
Our sins are all forgotten,
He remembers not a one.
Indeed, such a great love,
None on Earth can compare,
That Jesus would die for us,
So we can join Him there.
Today His love is with us,
He cares for our every need,
As we too die daily for Him,
Keeping busy sowing the seed.

JESUS WEB
by Bill Kochman
11-02-2016
One thread at a single time,
Thus a spider’s web is spun,
So we online Christians too,
With each friend who is won.
We search around the world,
To find another lonely soul,
We tell them about the Lord,
Then He can make them whole.
That’s how the process goes,
Jesus web grows every day,
Joining His family together,
Hearts from lands far away.

JESUS IN YOUR HEART
by Bill Kochman
11-26-2016
You say that you’re not fancy,
You claim that you’re not smart,
Most people seem to ignore you,
From your company they depart.
They say that you are strange,
Well just look at that old fart,
Just a big drain on the system,
They cast another verbal dart.
But one thing you’ve got going,
You beat them from the start,
Because this I know about you,
You’ve got Jesus in your heart.

JESUS FREAK OR FREAK!
by Bill Kochman
08-28-2014
You may call me a Jesus Freak,
But there’s something you should know,
While I’m bathing in God’s presence,
You’ll be residing far below.
One day I’ll go to my reward,
For God’s Will I did truly seek,
But when you find out what’s down there,
You are really going to freak.
Then you’ll wish you had done like me,
But sadly it will be too late,
Many times you denied the Lord,
So don’t complain about your fate.

JELLO PEOPLE
by Bill Kochman
08-22-2014
Some people are just like jello,
They shake and wiggle and roll,
They do anything to be accepted,
Even if it means their own soul.
Such people have no backbone,
They quickly bend in the breeze,
They will compromise the truth,
If it fills their life with ease.
Such folks fill God with sadness,
He wishes they’d get some guts,
Boldly go out and preach His Word,
Without any ifs, ands or buts.

JAMES 3
by Bill Kochman
02-10-2018
Oh that wretched tongue,
What an unruly member,
Sometimes it will burn,
Like the hottest ember.
When we become angry,
We let off with a curse,
If we don’t control it,
It could get even worse.
Apostle James was right,
He said it so very well,
Untameable wild thing,
It’s set on fire of hell.

JACK & JILL: THE REAL STORY
by Bill Kochman
10-08-2019
Up the hill went Jack and his wife,
Both hoping to drink Water of Life.
No Crown of Life did Jack receive,
For he had failed to really believe.
As for Jill, she so loved her Jack,
And that is why she too slid back.
It takes faith to climb the mount,
So the cost you must wisely count.
In your own strength do not abide,
For if you do, you’ll surely slide.
If you are expecting to truly win,
Trust in God even before you begin.

IT’S NO SECRET
by Bill Kochman
06-17-2018
It’s not in me, and it’s not in you,
It’s only God who can see us through.
For if you think you can do it well,
Make no mistake, you’re bound to fail.
You can surely boast in your pride,
But only fools in God do not abide.
Our strength alone is just not enough,
We’ll fall down when the going’s tough.
It’s no secret where our strength lies,
On Jesus alone we must keep our eyes.
Yes, we are weak, but He is strong,
So trust in Him to sing victory’s song.

IT’S MY RIGHT!
by Bill Kochman
12-05-2016
You say it is your right,
To smoke a pack per day,
I should mind my own biz,
Just stay out of your way.
If I didn’t really care,
I could do that my friend,
Let you waste your life,
Till the very bitter end.
As cancer eats your lungs,
And you scream out in pain,
Just remember one thing,
There’s only you to blame.

IT WILL BE DONE
by Bill Kochman
01-14-2017
It is really not too wise,
To place our confidence in men,
They always break their word,
In disappointment it will end.
Such is our weak human nature,
Man is still flawed at his best,
But God’s Word is so different,
We can always put it to the test.
When the Lord has said something,
It’s a fact that it will be done,
For as we read in Prophet Isaiah,
God even turned back the Sun.

IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?
by Bill Kochman
11-13-2017
Is it really worth it,
The way we slave away,
Making someone else rich,
Living on meager pay?
The elite rule this world,
While the crumbs we are fed,
They keep on raising prices,
And tax us till we’re dead.
But God has a Kingdom,
Where righteousness reigns,
Someday we’ll join Him there,
Be freed from all our pains.

iPHONES

03-14-2015
Girls & boys, with their little toys,
At a tiny screen they love to stare,
It’s so small, I see nothing at all,
Makes me want to pull out my hair.
For a treat, desktops can’t be beat,
Tho’ they sometimes can be so mean,
But I just want, my great big font,
So on big ‘puters I am really keen.
Yeah keep your phone, out of my zone,
My big workhorse just suits me fine,
Go play, with your tiny thing all day,
While I do real serious work on mine.

INTERNET RUMORS
by Bill Kochman
01-05-2017
Beware of the Internet rumor,
So like a cat with nine lives,
Even though you try to kill it,
Yet that vile thing survives.
Once it’s let loose out there,
It spreads just like a disease,
And try hard as you may like,
You cannot stop it with ease.
So before you spread nonsense,
Take some time to think it out,
For rumors are like boomerangs,
They come back at you no doubt.

INFRACTION
by Bill Kochman
12-21-2016
Gender identification,
Has confused this generation.
Sexual orientation,
What a devilish explanation.
Same-sex unification,
It’s an ungodly abomination.
Your marriage deviation,
Invites God’s condemnation.
No room for celebration,
It will bring your ruination.
Your misguided elation,
Offers me zero consolation.

IN OUR FATHER’S HAND
by Bill Kochman
08-01-2014
Once we’re in Father’s Hand,
There is just no getting out,
Bible says we’re sealed for good,
Tho we kick, scream and shout.
I just can’t seem to get away,
Tho a few times I have tried,
I was enticed by man’s world,
Just to find out they all lied.
If God called you to do a job,
Don’t turn away from His Will,
For if you do, you will pay,
And life will be all uphill.

IN DEBT AND DEAD
by Bill Kochman
12-05-2016
You may like to gamble,
Quick to place your bet,
If you don’t control it,
You’ll wind up in debt.
They will take your car,
Your lovely house too,
Wife and kids will leave,
Then what will you do?
It’s time to get smart,
Get out while you can,
Don’t wait for too long,
Or you’ll be a dead man.

IN BED WITH THE DEVIL
By Bill Kochman
01-18-2017
Many Christians may not know it,
But with the Devil they’re in bed,
They’ve been deceived by this foe,
No, he’s not dressed all in red.
He always wears a wonderful smile,
And assures us that he’s a friend,
But watch out for that deceiver,
He’ll backstab you in the end.
He controls the world’s money,
Mass media and entertainment too,
He hates the name of Jesus Christ,
Yes, my friend, it’s you-know-who.
