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.

HOW MUCH HAIR IS THERE?
by Bill Kochman
09-29-2019
I looked at my two feet,
And counted my ten toes,
Ten fingers on my hands,
So that is how it goes.
Then I looked at my head,
Oh what a problem there,
Really no way on Earth,
I could ever count my hair.
But our Father in Heaven,
He has counted every one,
His loving care for us,
Is just like the rising Sun.

HOMO SAPIENS?
by Bill Kochman
01-08-2017
Sometimes I really have to wonder,
Why “Homo sapiens” applies to man,
If building nukes is being so wise,
Then I really just don’t understand.
The same is true for all the rest,
Especially those nasties called WMD,
If we’re so dumb to make such things,
Maybe we did fall out of some tree.
We hit our head and broke our skull,
And all our brains got mashed a bit,
If we were smart, we’d get some sense,
And say it’s finally time to quit.

HOME INVASION
by Bill Kochman
08-24-2014
They say a man’s home is his castle,
But that is really no longer true,
While you were busy doing your thing,
Somebody pulled the wool over you.
He sneakily rode in on the airwaves,
You pay to let him pollute your mind,
Your TV, radio and brand new computer,
Can make you so spiritually blind.
It’s time to expose this vile villain,
The prince of the power of the air,
Unless you stand strong against him,
He’ll corrupt you with his foul fare.

HOME
by Bill Kochman
08-03-2014
Home is where the heart is,
I know the Earth’s not mine,
While I walk in the flesh,
I’m just abiding my time.
God sent me on a mission,
One that I must fulfill,
Telling others about Him,
Is my Holy Father’s will.
But once my task is over,
I will lay down my pen,
Gladly give up this life,
And go back Home again.

HOLY WAR
by Bill Kochman
04-15-2014
Year after year, I wage this holy war,
With eyes forward, I know what I fight for,
Although I am weak, God gave me this call,
Held by His Hand, I know I will never fall.
God calls not the proud, or even the strong,
Only by His Spirit, can we march along.
Though battles are fierce, we can’t give in,
To turn backwards now, would simply be a sin.
Demons try to defeat us, oh a fight in vain,
They can never stop, our Lord’s mighty reign.
So tired though I be, I go on without shame,
One word on my lips, I declare Jesus’ name.

HOLLYWOOD GLITZ
by Bill Kochman
04-16-2014
Hollywood glitz, it is such a big sham,
The stars look so great before the cam.
Smiling so big with their pearly whites,
Days of glamour, but then lonely nites.
Take off the makeup, then what is left,
Sad lonely people, of happiness bereft.
A fake world ruled by money sex and sin,
Only half human with very little within.
Y
et so many people to this life aspire,
Dreams of stardom, they sink in the mire.
They sell their soul, and their body too,
When God calls you out, what will you do?

HIT THE DIRT
by Bill Kochman
11-24-2016
There is no one-time victory,
In the life of a child of God,
If you think you’ve made it,
The Lord may pull out His rod.
Once you think you’ve arrived,
You will let down your guard,
The Devil will then attack you,
And you may go down very hard.
Every day is a constant battle,
You must remain so very alert,
Don’t dare get so darn cocky,
Or your face will hit the dirt.

HIGHER CALLING
by Bill Kochman
05-11-2014
In the world of men, they say shoot for the top,
Regardless of who we hurt, just don’t ever stop.
The strong take the prize, the weak are cast aside,
Friendships are skin-deep, it’s a very lonely ride.
Do what we must, to get the biggest piece of pie,
Everything is fair, just steal, deceive and lie.
It’s a cruel evil world, not the one made by God,
If we don’t run with them, they find it rather odd.
But we have a higher calling, chosen by the Lord,
And our code of conduct, is guided by His Word.
So let them run their rat race, it is all vanity,
We run to a different tune, that’s for eternity.

HIGH CLASS LIVING
by Bill Kochman
09-23-2014
Eat, drink, for tomorrow we die,
Yes, you can surely live like that,
But know it’s just the Devil’s lie,
In the end it will leave you flat.
Sure, you can live high on the hog,
Fill your gut with high-class food,
The latest drugs your mind will fog,
And make you feel every mood.
You can pile up mounds of money,
And drive in your late-model car,
But in the end it won’t be funny,
When you gaze at Heaven from afar.

HEAVENLY VISION
by Bill Kochman
01-07-2017
The Earth may have its great cities,
And other things that old Satan sells,
But a Heavenly City is my only vision,
Everything else by comparison pales.
Tho long I may sojourn on this planet,
I have known it is not my true place,
Thus I try to please the Lord daily,
As I patiently run in the great race.
Some fine day my journey will be over,
My tired body just won’t take any more.
So I pray that when I finally retire,
Angels will open that Heavenly Door.

HEAVEN IS REAL
by Bill Kochman
05-11-2014
Heaven is real, I know that it’s true,
It’s a wonderful place, beyond the blue.
Nothing on Earth, can possibly compare,
Faith in Jesus alone, can take us there.
All other paths, will only lead to loss,
God demands, the narrow way of the Cross.
This life is nothing, we’ll all soon die,
Act quickly, reserve your place in the sky.
Don’t be deceived, by the things of Earth,
All that it offers, is of little worth.
Put your faith, in the great God of Love,
And His City, that comes down from above.

HEAD WALKER
by Bill Kochman
04-13-2014
You better beware of the cordial man,
The one who extends a friendly hand.
Tho he may smile and give you a grin,
His dark treachery lurks deep within.
He comes off as a cool fast talker,
But he’s really a cruel head walker.
Your very life you need to defend,
Or he’ll just stomp on you in the end.
Beware of that man’s corporate greed,
Making money is his only true creed.
Playing you good is his ultimate goal,
He’ll convince you to sell your soul.
Not a word of his you should ever hear,
Tho he whispers sweet lies in your ear.
You need to flee from that wicked man,
Don’t you dare listen to his evil plan.
Although he tries to rattle on and on,
Remember he is just the Devil’s spawn.
You would be smart to quickly walk away,
And not listen to a word he has to say.
But if you let him get inside your head,
That blood sucker will leave you dead.

HE’S BEEN GOOD TO ME
by Bill Kochman
12-12-2016
I really cannot complain,
About my personal state,
If it were up to Satan,
I’d suffer a worse fate.
So many things I have,
To be very thankful for,
Even though I’m not rich,
And in fact am really poor.
But God has given to me,
Everything I possibly need,
So I give Him all my praise,
He’s been good to me indeed.
