By El Prophet The Scribe<br />
<br />
Jesus is the rock that makes me roll! <br />
Taking total contol of my soul,<br />
so I can bowl the devil over like a pin, <br />
how in heavens name can he ever win,<br />
since Christ has washed me completelyfree of sin?<br />
All day long I do nothing but grin <br />
whenever I think about my savior, <br />
I tasted the lord and now I know he's my favorite flavor.<br />
Allow me a moment to sit back and savor <br />
the sweet taste of success,<br />
I open the Word,<br />
swallow it whole<br />
and wonder what I'm gonna do next!<br />
what ever the task, I know I'm gonna pass,<br />
cause I got juice with the first and the last,<br />
no need to gasp or ever be afraid,<br />
Gods opening up the window again, and it's time to get paid.<br />
<br />

</b><br />
High upon Golgotha’s Hill<br />
Upon an old rugged cross you lay so still<br />
As still as the sea that you calmed<br />
Until it did us no harm.<br />
No, None at all…<br />
So How could you , Lord Jesus of Nazareth, Fall?<br />
Submitting to mere flesh and blood<br />
You, the creator from up above!<br />
Rejected by those you dearly loved.<br />
<br />
High upon Golgotha’s Hill<br />
The Lamb Of God was Killed!<br />
A holy sacrifice, whose blood ran down,<br />
From furrowed brow adorned with thorns, in matted hair<br />
The Pharisees, The Sadducees, they did not care.<br />
The Sweet Love of Christ They did not share.<br />
But all I could do was stare<br />
And ask WHERE?<br />
WHERE was the Love of God?<br />
Was it somehow hard for God to see<br />
That this innocent man should be set free? Instead of a thief?<br />
My soul cries out in mourning because of grief…..But then, God said<br />
My child, Cease and Desist, from thinking thoughts such as this!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is no tragedy! <br />
He hangs there in glorious transcendent majesty!<br />
<br />
It’s because of my Love, that my son is Dead.<br />
Dry thy tears! let another not be shed.<br />
<br />
For He was willingly led right to this cross,<br />
Knowing the cost, that at the end none would be lost<br />
My love is HERE hanging upon this cruel, cursed tree!, <br />
Embodied in Christ on Calvary.<br />
<br />
He took on this pain, so you would never know the shame<br />
So that you could have power in his Name!<br />
That’s why he was slain. Upon the cross, and will remain<br />
Till every guilty stain is washed away from you<br />
<br />
THAT’S what Christ came to do.<br />
<br />
And then, I said, <br />
WHO KNEW? <br />
What a brilliant, yet, unorthodox plan!<br />
Which could only have been conceived by the great I AM!<br />
That A GOD would become a child<br />
That a KING would come become a Servant <br />
That a WARRIOR would surrender<br />
And because he did, this Easter Sunday, we all remember.<br />
<br />

by Elgin Bolling<br />
<br />
Pretty Girls! Pretty Girls! They always pass me by!<br />
I’m too shy to look them in the eye…<br />
Each Saturday night, I ask myself, <br />
WHY??<br />
Why don’t I have someone to love??<br />
A beautiful girl who fits my soul, just like a glove?<br />
<br />
I feel like a slug…gotta get out more…<br />
<br />
Struck up a conversation with a girl the other day..<br />
She turned and walked away.<br />
Said I was just a terrible bore…<br />
That is, right after she began to snore!<br />
She spun on her heels and walked out the door..<br />
<br />
Sigh…What's it all for?<br />
<br />
Hey I wanna know, Just WHAT is s my flaw??<br />
It can’t be my looks… Gee whiz… I see girls dating guys who look just like <br />
CROOKS!<br />
<br />
At least I keep my nose stuck here in a book <br />
So that when the time comes when a pretty girl passes my way,<br />
Then I’ll have something interesting to say!<br />
<br />
LOOK! Here’s one right NOW! She's walking my way!!!<br />
<br />
…What to say… what to say...what to say.... WHAT TO SAY????!<br />
<br />
Er… Hello…Howdy…uh… Hey! <br />
Nice…Day….er…. Are ….You… Feeling… Okay?<br />
<br />
WHAT?? REALLY?? NO WAY!!<br />
You mean… you actually want to STAY??!!<br />
And talk to a guy like ME???<br />
<br />
YOU MEAN...FOR FREE???<br />
<br />
Thank YOU!! …Awww… shucks…. wow… Gee…<br />
<br />
That’s so awfully nice… but <br />
I just CAN’T <br />
It just wouldn’t be Right…I mean after all...

SWING BATTER! "SWING BATTER! BATTER! SWING BATTER! "<br />
<br />
Time to stop whining and crying<br />
Reminiscing and sighing,<br />
And dwelling on the past!<br />
<br />
Those days are GONE<br />
They're OVER!<br />
They did not last<br />
<br />
Stand up straight!<br />
You've got a date<br />
With the<br />
Rest of your life!<br />
<br />
DONT BE LATE!<br />
<br />
Pick up your bat,<br />
Step up to the plate,<br />
Keep your eye on the ball, and <br />
SWING!!<br />
Hit it HARD!<br />
Make it SING!<br />
<br />
You've only got<br />
One Bell to ring,<br />
So <br />
MAKE SOME NOISE!!!<br />
<br />
Don't even worry about it<br />
If you don't swing with "poise "<br />
<br />
And don't even think about performing for ya "boyz!"<br />
Be an individual! <br />
Be your OWN Man!<br />
<br />
Forget about ya crew!!<br />
<br />
After all, <br />
They're all confused , and don't know WHAT to do!<br />
<br />
Just a bunch crabs in the barrel <br />
Who always like to "hang out"<br />
But get jealous when you try to<br />
Climb out, and get yourself some clout!<br />
<br />
I say,<br />
Ball up ya fist tight,<br />
And knock 'em ALL out of your way!<br />
<br />
You weren't meant to live life in a barrel!<br />
NO WAY!!<br />
So reach for the sky!<br />
Have a ball!<br />
You really CAN " have it ALL!"<br />
<br />
So, SWING, BATTER, BATTER! SWING BATTER!<br />
It don't matter how many times you've struck out<br />
Stepping up to the plate <br />
Is what life's all about!<br />

I've since worked out the kinks in the song, especially on the "E" Vowels which sound very whiney and lack power. I am as prepared as I can be and must remember to focus on leading people to worship, and not so much a vocal performace, which is always a challenge. Perhaps in a later post i will have some musical backup .<br />

<br />
On a clear day, they say<br />
You can see forever!<br />
But we never thought<br />
That our Friendly Skies<br />
Would ever witness <br />
<br />
THOUSANDS DIE.<br />
Or hear Billions CRY..<br />
White Hot Tears <br />
Falling from sorrowful eyes<br />
Of Burning Towers Like <br />
Post Summer Rain<br />
<br />
A testimony that Our Great City <br />
Would Be Forever Changed…<br />
Insane Day!<br />
Inane Day!<br />
The Day I hated Planes…<br />
<br />
Who’s to Blame? <br />
What’s His Name?<br />
What Foul Victory Did He Claim?<br />
By having people Slain…<br />
<br />
If you went to work, THAT Day, <br />
You were sorry that you came.<br />
That is, if you SURVIVED <br />
Some didn’t come home…<br />
Alive.<br />
<br />
In September…<br />
I Still Remember… <br />
<br />
People Broken and Dismembered!<br />
<br />
Towers Falling!<br />
People Crawling<br />
Men, Women, and Children<br />
Bawling.<br />
<br />
Running blindly down the Halls<br />
Fire Burning on the Walls<br />
Somewhere …in the desert air…. Osama…Laughing…<br />
Struggling for breath… Gasping …<br />
Getting help from strangers <br />
Without Asking.<br />
<br />
Firefighters bravely answering the Call<br />
Hundreds of people starting to Fall…<br />
<br />
Flying Briefly in Empty Space…<br />
Savoring the last sweet breath of freedom<br />
Before landing on their face.<br />
<br />
The Twins begin to crumble…<br />
People Stumble…<br />
I mumble…<br />
“Our City…..Humbled”.<br />
<br />
Who Fumbled?<br />
Who Dropped the Ball?<br />
My mind begins to Stall..<br />
Is this All?<br />
Or is there more to come?<br />
Do we evacuate?<br />
Or Get a Gun?<br />
No Where To Hide<br />
No Place to Run…<br />
<br />
The Mayor’s Finest Hour<br />
He spoke with resolve and did not cower.<br />
Regardless of your Political Affiliation<br />
On THAT DAY we were ALL ONE NATION<br />
<br />
And even though it was Hard<br />
On that day even Atheists Prayed To God<br />
<br />
The pain never ceases<br />
We continue to this day <br />
To pick up the broken pieces<br />
But as Americans we stand strong. <br />
