The Fisherman's Lament

Sailing across the ocean blue  Singing shanties with my merry crew We cast our nets into the briny waters To provide for our wives, sons, and daughters. But when are nets grew heavy and taut We heaved them up to see what we caught. And what did our accursed eyes behold? Fish with scales that glistened like gold. We cheered as our nets burst at the seams. We were rich beyond our wildest dreams! But my heart quickly sank to the sea floor As I recalled the warning we got days before. “Should you ever catch fishes of gold Remember the ancient warnings of old: Release them and don’t be slaves to greed Lest you anger the Merfolk with a selfish deed.” With heavy heart, I reminded my crew Of the solemn warning from Old Ms. Rue. They laughed and said, “It’s just an old wives tale!” And our captain said, “Homeward we sail!” I warned them that this was a foolish deed But my voice was one they chose not to heed. As they started to sail home with childish glee A great shadow loomed below the su...

God’s Flood

God’s vengeance is brewing today

I can feel it in my bones.

The wind's picking up,

Clouds are huddling up,

And the thunder’s shaking mighty people’s thrones.


It will be like Noah and the flood

That came on that fateful day.

The people didn’t know

The water levels would grow

And wipe them all away.


By the time the ark was finished

The rains poured down with wrath.

The evil ones saw their fate

But it was far too late

The waters swallowed all in their path.


You thought you had escaped His judgment

You thought you had dodged His wrath.

You thought after your sin

You wouldn’t get your reckoning

But now God is on the warpath.


Did you think God didn’t see the pain

And the suffering you have wrought?

God can see all

And He’s gonna make you fall

He isn’t One to be mocked.


Like Noah, I will build an ark

That will thrive in the flood.

It’s for me and my friends.

You’re not allowed in

You’ve wallowed in too much mud.


Did you think God wasn’t watching?

Did you think He didn’t care?

You better believe

What you’d failed to perceive;

He’s laying your sin bare.


When the floodwaters begin to rise,

The fear of God will shake your core.

You know you can’t float,

You’ll try entering my boat

But find that God’s already shut the door.


Can you see God’s vengeance

Pouring down like rain?

To you it means death

But for me, it’s the first breath

Of a new life without strife and pain.


Can you see God’s vengeance

Flooding over you as you try to stay dry?

It’s dragging you down,

You fear you will drown.

On my ark, the water’s lifting me high.


I shall journey across the sea

And find a new land with God as my guide.

I know I’m not alone

He will guide me home

To a fair place that has already dried.


I will offer Him an offering

That is sweet and pleasing to Him

And like a large cup

That won’t stop filling up

God’s presence will overflow to the brim.
