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.

IMPERISHABLE CROWN
by Bill Kochman
01-02-2017
Kings of old fought in many wars,
Protected by their weapon stores.
Shields, helmets, swords and more,
Keeping their crown was a chore.
Enemies many wanted king’s throne,
Just to make that crown their own.
But short-sighted were those men,
Never thinking about living again.
Blinded by what was before eyes,
Always believing Satan’s old lies.
No hope for an imperishable crown,
Never seeing God’s Heavenly Town.

IF THERE WAS NO BIBLE
by Bill Kochman
12-01-2016
Even if there was no Holy Bible,
I would still believe in my God,
As a logically thinking person,
To think otherwise would be odd.
The natural world surrounds us,
And is a testimony of His love,
Man can make a car or building,
But not a planet or star above.
The very mathematical perfection,
Is clearly an irrefutable sign,
That this remarkable Universe,
Resulted from Intelligent Design.

I’M SO SORRY, LUCY
by Bill Kochman
12-06-2016
I am so very sorry dear Lucy,
Your story doesn’t fit the bill,
Though they tried to convince us,
Evo’ ladder you just don’t fill.
But what I found most alarming,
Scientists taken by your spell,
If they were deceived so quickly,
How can common folks really tell?
So I will just accept the Bible,
It makes human creation so plain,
But as far as so-called evolution,
I really find it flat out insane.

I’M SO HAPPY
by Bill Kochman
05-04-2014
I’m so happy I know the Lord,
I’m so happy I have His Word.
I’m so happy for Eternal Life,
I’m so happy to be His Wife.
I’m so happy He meets my needs,
I’m so happy my soul He feeds.
I’m so happy Heaven is for me,
I’m so happy my eyes can see.
I’m so happy for Spirit within,
I’m so happy I’m washed from sin.
I’m so happy for Truth He brings,
I’m so happy for so many things.

I’M SO FREE, FREE, FREE!
by Bill Kochman
12-06-2016
I am so free, free, free,
Death has no hold over me,
Tho I leave behind my body,
Yet I shall live for Eternity.
Jesus Christ paid the price,
And washed away all my sins,
The Lord rose from the dead,
Now a New Life for me begins.
So goodbye pain and sorrow,
You are kicked out the door,
Only happy and free in Heaven,
Where I will live forever more.

I WILL NOT FEAR
by Bill Kochman
07-06-2019
We find ourselves in a race,
To see what kills us first,
Will it be climate change,
Or a powerful solar burst?
So much disease, famine too,
Many millions die each year,
We take unborn innocent lives,
But few will even shed a tear.
Maybe all the wars we fight,
Will erase humanity someday,
Button pushed, hope is lost,
Earth fades from blue to gray.
Some claim our own machines,
Will result in man’s demise,
Yet others point to a threat,
That will come from the skies.
Earthquakes too may do us in,
Seas rise beyond their shore,
A lot of ways for us to die,
No doubt you’ll think of more.
So many things for us to fear,
No wonder people are on edge,
One thing or perhaps another,
Will push us over the ledge.
But as for me I will not fear,
For God surely knows my fate,
Thus I will live day by day,
Till I pass thru Heavenly Gate.
His peace reigns in my heart,
I trust He knows what’s best,
Being afraid is to no avail,
So I won’t fear like the rest.

I LIKE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
by Bill Kochman
08-04-2014
Please don’t take offense,
But I like rock ‘n’ roll,
Not the Devil’s foul music,
The kind that fills my soul.
You see, Jesus is my Rock,
He’s as solid as can be,
The roll’s the Book of Life,
And I’m in it for eternity.
Don’t dare resist the Rock,
When He begins to roll,
Else He’ll grind & smash you,
And you’ll end up in a hole.

I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
by Bill Kochman
11-16-2017
I know what you really want,
It’s no reason to feel shame,
Someone to love with all your heart,
Hoping to you they’ll do the same.
Someone you can support and comfort,
Whenever they feel down and sad,
And they will likewise reciprocate,
Making your discouraged heart glad.
Someone to whom you can be committed,
Even though you see their every flaw,
And despite knowing your weaknesses,
They too will always hold you in awe.
You want a relationship that lasts,
And doesn’t fail when pressure’s on,
You’re both in it for the long haul,
No matter what troubles come along.
I really do know what you want,
And it is not a short-term game,
But just in case you’re wondering,
Darling, yes, I too feel the same.

I JUST WANT TO BE LOVED
by Bill Kochman
11-09-2017
I just want to be loved,
Is it really too much to ask?
Has your heart grown so cold,
It’s become a difficult task?
We used to have a great love,
Which united us both as one,
Where did we get sidetracked,
So that our love became undone?
I long for days of sweetness,
Your embrace holding me so near,
Please don’t give up on us baby,
I’m still in love with you dear.

I JUST DON’T WORRY
by Bill Kochman
12-29-2016
An earthquake could hit at any time,
A typhoon might blow us off the map,
Our local economy is really in ruins,
But I think I’ll just go take a nap.
“WHAT?!” you say. “Don’t you worry,
At least the slightest little bit?”
“If I were you I would cower in fear,
And probably just go and quit.”
No, my friend, I really don’t,
‘Cause worrying won’t change a thing,
I just have to trust in the Lord,
No matter what tomorrow may bring.

I AM SQUARE
by Bill Kochman
07-27-2014
I am square, and I don’t care,
If you think I’m out of date.
I will give a nod, to my God,
Because He controls my fate.
Okay fine, here is my line,
Your world’s just second rate.
If you laugh, and be so daft,
You will cry outside the Gate.
But you can win, just take Him,
Reject that old Devil’s bait,
Accept God’s love, from above,
Farewell to the serpent’s hate.

I AM NOT ASHAMED
by Bill Kochman
12-14-2016
“I am not ashamed”, Apostle Paul wrote,
That should be our battle cry as well,
For if we knowingly deny Jesus Christ,
Before His Father will He call us “pal”?
Likewise, the Lord said in the Gospels,
Under a bushel we can’t hide our light,
Very high on a candlestick we place it,
So that it will brighten the darkest night.
Thus we see we have a very sacred duty,
Tho dark forces seek to smother us out,
We must resist their tactics and pressure,
So the world knows what Jesus is about.

I AM GOD’S JACK-IN-THE-BOX
by Bill Kochman
04-15-2014
I am God’s Jack-in-the-box,
To the Devil’s sad chagrin,
Every time he puts me down,
I just pop back up again.
I just can’t seem to help it,
God loaded my spring so good,
Satan wants to silence me,
That is, if he only could.
The power comes not from me,
This you need to understand,
It’s the flow of the Spirit,
That comes from God’s own Hand.

I AM A PAUPER
by Bill Kochman
04-13-2014
I am a pauper, not a show-stopper,
Yet in my poverty I am quite rich.
I’ve eschewed all worldly wealth,
Which can be bad for your health,
Ask those who fall into that ditch.
A simple life, free of all strife,
Is more to my personal pleasure.
I can do without so many things,
If only pain and sadness it brings,
I’m storing up Heavenly Treasure.

I AM A NOBODY
by Bill Kochman
04-08-2014
The world says that I am a nobody,
My life has not amounted to much.
I am neither rich nor very famous,
So most women avoid me as such.
No streets have been named after me,
My books are not found in any store.
No one knows my face from any other,
It is probably because I’m very poor.
But my riches are kept up in Heaven,
Where moth and rust can take no toll.
Pleasing my body may be satisfying,
But I’m more concerned about my soul.

I AM A GOOD PERSON
by Bill Kochman
07-29-2014
I am a good person, many people say,
I don’t ever sin, I won’t have to pay.
Don’t preach to me, or talk about my soul,
God is a crutch, just a system of control.
Adam and Eve? There was no Garden Fall,
Oh just nonsense, I don’t believe at all.
Such foolish talk, from folks oh so blind,
In their own pride, they close up their mind.
But God is watching, He hears every word,
We will be judged, by all that we’ve heard.
No excuses will count, just the bare facts,
If we reject God’s Son, we will get the axe.

HYPOCRITE
by Bill Kochman
01-08-2017
He looked into the mirror,
And what did that man see?
Oh what a great Christian,
The very finest that can be.
So he pulled out his cigar,
Saying “Man! I’m the best!”,
But God was not so pleased,
And said “Oh give it a rest!
Your boasting so sickens me,
And your hypocrisy I detest,
Now before you pat yourself,
Obey my Word to pass my test.”

HYPE UP THE GEARS
by Bill Kochman
11-24-2016
I don’t know how long I’ve got,
I’m clueless to how many years,
So I’ll do the very best I can,
I’m gonna hype up all the gears.
One thing I can say for certain,
By God’s Grace this is one fact,
I’m shooting to reach the world,
Nothing less than total impact.
My words will remain years later,
Although I’m gone from the Earth,
People will see what I’ve written,
And hopefully give them some worth.

HUH???
by Bill Kochman
01-06-2017
I know it may offend you,
But let me make my point,
That stuff you call music,
Has got you out of joint.
You’re so hard of hearing,
You tilt your head my way,
It really is no wonder,
You miss some words I say.
So turn down your music,
And give your ears a rest,
So I don’t end up like you,
Please follow my request.
