Children

Joseph K Stephen 11 April 2007

 

Children are blessings from the LORD

according to His holy Word.

As arrows in the warriors hands

sharpened by training in God's commands[i].

 

Just as they sacrificed their sons of old,

career and lifestyle are the gods of gold[ii].

Abortion and the use of birth control,

are the modern fires which take their toll.

 

If we love God our hearts should grieve.

We should love what He loves, if we believe.

God loves children, He hath said[iii],

yet even Christians want dogs instead.

 

Some may ask who will provide?

Faith and wisdom will decide.

One who works, who chooses well,

to them the floodgates are opened wide[iv].

 

Take note of the Psalms

as David said,

“the righteous not forsaken,

nor his seed begging bread[v].”

 

Today it seems the tables are turned:

the barren are blessed and the fruitful are scorned[vi];

But what is our worldview, God's word hasn't changed.

humanism and feminism are now what is learned.

 

How far we've strayed from God's holy plan

and forgotten the first task given to man[vii].

Did you know, overpopulation is just a lie[viii],

our selfish lifestyles to justify.

 

If we would raise up Godly seed,

and train up warriors who can lead,

revival would spread across the land,

the difference made would be profound.

 

Even Muslims know this rule[ix]

yet Christians have learned from the wrong school.

Its time to stop believing the lie

and Be fruitful and multiply.
