Poetry by Laura Smith

ARE YOU READY

The trumpet will sound

Then where will you be

Rising to heaven

Knowing your set free

Or watching from Earth

In the midst of calamity?

You’ve known all along

This day would arrive

Were you living for Jesus

Or Satins lies…

“Not in our time will Jesus come….

Let’s live in sin…It doesn’t seem that wrong.”

Do you believe in the word of God

Or think it just a book

Taking the parts you like

And the rest you overlook

Please remember today could be the day

---

IF JESUS LIVED IN OUR DAY AND TIME

If Jesus were living

In our day and time

Walking to and from

In the muck and the grime

Reaching out to people

With heartache and pain

Healing the sick

Freeing the lame

Casting out devils

In his own name

How would we feel?

Would we love him the same?

Now remember a suit and a tie

I doubt he would wear

Because what is on the outside

He does not care

I ponder the thought

This image I hold

Would we kill Him again?

When He won’t fit our mold?

---

DECEPTION

Do not be deceived

In what is coming to this land

Witchcraft and false teaching

To turn the minds of man

To God be the glory

Is only what it seems

But Satan is the center

Your soul he seeks to claim

Be watchful and so cautious

But do not be afraid

Just keep your mind on Jesus Christ

Your path He has paved

The Bible is the Word of God

Sent to you and me

To test the things that have been taught

This is His decree.

---

WE WAIT

Oh, Lord God

You’re sure to come

It’s in the air

And will soon be done

You reign on high

From your throne

You’ll command Your trumpet

To be blown

Holy Spirit is ready

For his next venture

To go home and leave

This world of torture

People slander

People kill

Tongues run rampant

They’re so strong-willed

But our lamp stands are lit

They are full of oil

Our robes, they are white

For by Your blood there’s no more soil

Please come soon

We eagerly wait

To enter into heaven

This world to escape

---

TRANSFORMING PRESENCE

Breath of fresh air

Sweeping my face

Thank you, Holy Spirit

For Your wonderful embrace

The exhilarating fragrance

Surrounding my existence

How blessed I am

To experience Your presence

Envelop my being

Transform my soul

Into Your image

Until I am made whole

---

SIMPLY SURRENDER

Surrender your heart

It’s easy to do

Surrender your heart

He wants you to

He gave His life

For you and me

He suffered so much

To set us free

He eagerly awaits

You to accept your invitation

To forever spend eternity

With His wonderful creation

---

LAST REVIVAL COMES

Transform this body into your image

Mold and shape and cleanse

For I am your creation, Lord

You wash away all my sins

To please my Father, my great desire

And all that is required

Is to love the Son with all my heart

He’ll change me from within

From glory to glory He’ll take us

And my experience has found

He’s transforming us with His power

With each battle down

The flesh finally will die and wither

And the spirit will arise

And through the bride of Jesus Christ

The last revival comes

---

I AM

I AM who I AM

The great I AM

Today is the day

The time is now

To fulfill your needs

Is my great desire

I Am who I AM

I have the power

Don’t you realize

You are made from dust

I molded and shaped you

From the earth

I hung the stars

I created the sea

I AM who I AM

Please just believe

I AM Almighty God

Can’t you understand?

Nothing is impossible

Just reach out your hand

---

FILL MY CUP

God, fill my cup

With your great love

When I am down

It lifts me up

The joy You bring

Such an awesome King

Lord, fill my cup

My heart shall sing

This cup I share

With those in need

For what I sow

I know I’ll reap

You’ve tested me with a little

And now I’m knocking at the door

For when You feel I’ve passed this test

Please fill my cup some more

TWO ROADS

Two roads set before you

One crooked

One straight

Satan entices the crooked to take

Riches and pleasure

He beckons your soul

An escort to hell

He’ll take that roll

The choices is yours

There’s alot here at stake

I wonder, I wonder

Which path will you take?

The road that is straight

To heaven it leads

There are some tests and some trials

God knows all your needs

He will lead you and guide you

For this road has a light

His word will direct you

All day and all night

The light of the world

It’s yours to receive

Or the lie of the devil

Do not be deceived!

---

THE TIME IS NOW

I send you out as sheep

In the midst of the wolves

Be as wise as a serpent

And as harmless as a dove

Jesus spoke this

To His disciples

And sent them to the city

To free the blind

And strengthen the weary

To cast out demons

And heal their infirmities

NOW

We were created

For the story’s told

To do the same as they

In the time of old

The twelve look down from heaven

Father, they pray to You

Give them supernatural power

To see this mission through

Make their spirits strong

And their hearts be very bold

Watch this time in history

As prophecy now unfolds

---

DECISION

Life or Death

Joy or Gloom

Your heart belongs to whom

The Most High God or

The god of this world

Serenity from the Almighty King or

Destruction and despair in which the worldly god brings

Fire and Brimstone or Peace and Prosperity

Where do you stand? …. What is your position?

Minute by minute …. Day by day

What is your destiny? ….. It’s your decision.

---

RELIGION

It strangles the heart

Binds up the soul

Man-made rules

To make us look whole

Bring in more children????

Look here ….. Don’t start!!!!

The regulations require

To sit up straight

And wear the proper attire

Don’t get caught fraternizing with the poor

Maybe dish out a penny

But not much more

I know we have savings, stocks, and bonds, too

Shhhh! Don’t tell! We need lots of things new!

We have to grow. There are buildings to build.

Never mind the hungry

They should take care of themselves

We must castrate our people

They must never bear fruit

We will keep them here

Until we have lots of lute

I could go on and on about “our religion”

But the head of our church

The board and their wives with decision

Direct me to preach, cast out guilt

And stomp out your hope with perfect precision.

---

LET’S FINISH THE RACE

You are my rock

My hiding place

To You I run

I seek Your face

My heart is so hungry

I will no longer wait

Holy Spirit, I need You

Help me finish the race

I run and I run

The finish line is near

Never give up

Keep the pace

Your arms are around me

I behold your embrace

And in my ear You whisper

Let’s finish this race!

---

IT IS FINISHED

Power from the God Most High

His people need this

Do you understand why?

Two thousand years ago He paid the price

He said, “It is finished!”

He took the stripes

It is done

He believed

Now our part ….

Our spirits receive

We think sometimes

To roll the dice

She never gets healed

He does twice

Spirits awake

One and all

Come and listen

He is risen

He went down under

Took the keys

Freely handing them

To you and me

Now be healed, the Spirit commands

Don’t look back, He demands

Bring the flesh to its knees

Your spirit rises up, the soul it frees.

GOD WINS THE WAR

She poured the oil upon His head

His disciples did not understand

For this was a part of His perfect will

This was a part of His perfect plan

He taught them as they gathered together to share in the Lord’s last meal

Do this in remembrance of Me

Drink of the vine and eat of the bread

For you My body was broken and also My blood was shed

Jesus shared His heart with them

Before His time would come

Said Peter would deny Him thrice

Before the night was done

Now in the garden with much sorrow

The face of God he sought

He prayed if He could pass this cup

But nevertheless His will be done

With a kiss upon His cheek

Began the Lord’s demise

He carried the cross to Calvary

Flogged with many stripes

Satan thought he had won the war

But Almighty God knew so much more

The sky turned black, the veil was ripped

The earth would shake, and the world would quake

It grew quiet all around

The ones who loved Him could no longer bear it

Then Jesus cried out,

“Into your hands I commit My spirit.”
