ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER

THE ROAD TO HELL

When you’ve hit the bottom of that dark and lonely road,

When your mind is troubled and you’re ready to explode,

When the days seem endless and the nights are oh so long,

When you can’t tell the difference between what’s right and wrong.

You struggle through this life and can’t seem to get ahead,

You live in the pit of hell and wish that you were dead,

But God won’t let you fall from grace, He will see you through,

He’ll lift you from the darkness, He has a plan for you.

Don’t ever think there’s no way out, the skies are blue above,

His tears will cover over you and shower you with love.

NEVER GIVE UP

Spineless cowards fill their minds with delusions of grandeur.

They hide behind threats and words instilling fear.

They conjure up the forces of evil to accomplish their deeds.

They will not be silenced. Their voices grow stronger.

Their numbers grow and they seem to be gaining strength.

The God of Abraham will never be silenced. He is the maker of all things.

He sent His only Son to be our champion – To fight our battles –

To snuff out the devil and his minions – to dominate the power of evil.

We need to turn to Him again. Through Him our strength will grow.

To Him the glory and power and honor shall remain.
