The Gospel of Matthew Rhymes | |
| |
| God made existence, then made man, | Mt 1:1 |
| Raised people up through Abraham, | Mt 1:1 |
| Laid down the rules and gave them choice, | Mt 1:2-17 |
| Some would refuse, and some rejoice, | Mt 1:2-17 |
| And some would speak the words he gave | Mt 1:2-17 |
| That would foretell his plan to save. | Mt 1:2-17 |
| Ole Joe would leave his fiancée | Mt 1:19 |
| When she was found in family way, | Mt 1:18 |
| But his response, must have been awed, | Mt 1:24 |
| When an angel said, "The dad is God". | Mt 1:20 |
| The heavens spoke Messiah's fame, | Mt 2:2 |
| So from the east the Magi came. | Mt 2:2 |
| Though Herod tried to have him killed, | Mt 2:3-12 |
| Escape to Egypt as God willed. | Mt 2:13-16 |
| Then Joseph got another dream | Mt 2:22 |
| That made the boy a Nazarene. | Mt 2:23 |
| John preached out in the hot frontier, | Mt 3:1 |
| "Repent, for God's kingdom is near." | Mt 3:2 |
| Those who confessed he then baptized, | Mt 3:6 |
| But hypocrites he criticized. | Mt 3:7 |
| John said good trees produce good fruit, | Mt 3:8 |
| But bad ones get chopped at the root. | Mt 3:10 |
| He spoke of One whose pow'r was high'r, | Mt 3:11 |
| Who'd baptize with the Spirit and fire. | Mt 3:11 |
| Then Jesus came from Galilee, | Mt 3:13 |
| And said to John, "You baptize me". | Mt 3:14-15 |
| God's Spirit came down like a dove, | Mt 3:16 |
| "This is my Son, and him I love." | Mt 3:17 |
| Then Jesus went away to fast, | Mt 4:1-2 |
| And after forty days had passed, | Mt 4:2 |
| The devil came to tempt him thrice, | Mt 4:3 |
| He said, "I bet some bread sounds nice". | Mt 4:3 |
| Christ said, "Bread's not what keeps the bod, | Mt 4:4 |
| But each word from the mouth of God". | Mt 4:4 |
| Satan said, "Jump, if you're so blessed". | Mt 4:6 |
| Christ said, "Don't put God to the test". | Mt 4:7 |
| Next, "All the world I'll give to thee, | Mt 4:8-9 |
| If you'll bow down and worship me". | Mt 4:8-9 |
| Then Jesus said, "You go away, | Mt 4:10 |
| I'll kneel to God and him obey". | Mt 4:10 |
| In Zebulun and then beyond, | Mt 4:15 |
| For those in darkness, light had dawned. | Mt 4:16 |
| Reform and heaven Christ proclaims. | Mt 4:17 |
| Called Simon, Andrew, John and James. | Mt 4:18-22 |
| He preached the kingdom and good news. | Mt 4:23 |
| He healed the sick among the Jews. | Mt 4:23-25 |
| And as the people multiplied, | Mt 4:25-5:1 |
| He preached along the mountainside. | Mt 5:1 |
| "The poor in spirit in heaven reign, | Mt 5:3 |
| And those who mourn shall comfort gain. | Mt 5:4 |
| The land will belong to the meek. | Mt 5:5 |
| Get righteousness, shall those who seek. | Mt 5:6 |
| On merciful, mercy is poured. | Mt 5:7 |
| The pure in heart shall see the Lord. | Mt 5:8 |
| The peacemakers shall be God's heirs | Mt 5:9 |
| And those oppressed, the kingdom's theirs. | Mt 5:10 |
| If someone's persecuting you, | Mt 5:11 |
| You're blessed, they hurt the prophets too. | Mt 5:12 |
| You are the salt and you're the light. | Mt 5:13-14 |
| Be God's example of what's right. | Mt 5:15-16 |
| The Law will stand, Christ kept it all. | Mt 5:17-18 |
| You broke it, whether large or small. | Mt 5:20 |
| Don't kill, we've known this all along | Mt 5:21 |
| Hate in your heart is just as wrong. | Mt 5:22 |
| Adultery is sure unjust | Mt 5:27 |
| And so is it to gaze with lust. | Mt 5:28 |
| Don't swear, just tell the truth of course. | Mt 5:33-37 |
| Don't seek revenge, and don't divorce. | Mt 5:39,32 |
| We can all love our friends with ease | Mt 5:46-47 |
| Love too, like God, your enemies. | Mt 5:44,45,48 |
| It's good to give to charity | Mt 6:1-4 |
| And best to do it secretly. | Mt 6:1-4 |
| Pray not for men, with show and pride | Mt 6:5 |
| But humbly, God sees what's inside. | Mt 6:6 |
| Praise you, O God, your kingdom come. | Mt 6:9-10 |
| Provide our needs and keep us from | Mt 6:11 |
| Temptation and the evil one. | Mt 6:13 |
| Forgive us. May your will be done. | Mt 6:12,10 |
| If you forgive those who hurt you | Mt 6:14 |
| Then you'll receive forgiveness too. | Mt 6:14 |
| And when you fast, don't make a show | Mt 6:16 |
| But only you and God should know. | Mt 6:18 |
| Don't store your wealth in bins on earth. | Mt 6:19 |
| In heaven, treasure keeps its worth. | Mt 6:20 |
| I have to break it to you, honey | Mt 6:24 |
| You cannot serve both God and money. | Mt 6:24 |
| Seek God's domain and righteousness | Mt 6:33 |
| He'll take care of your food and dress. | Mt 6:31-32 |
| Don't judge and say "oh he's the worst", | Mt 7:1 |
| Instead correct your own sin first. | Mt 7:5 |
| Just keep in mind in all you do | Mt 7:12 |
| You do as you'd have done to you. | Mt 7:12 |
| The road is broad, the gate is wide | Mt 7:13 |
| That to destruction lets you slide. | Mt 7:13 |
| If you'd have Life become your fate | Mt 7:14 |
| Choose narrow road with little gate. | Mt 7:15 |
| From teachers who make good fruit, learn. | Mt 7:15-20 |
| Producers of bad fruit will burn." | Mt 7:15-20 |
| In closing, Jesus told his flock | Mt 7:24-27 |
| "Be wise and build upon the rock." | Mt 7:24-27 |
| He said to "Go!" and to "Be clean!" | Mt 8:1-13 |
| He healed as prophets had foreseen. | Mt 8:14-17 |
| Just "Follow me" - we think we can - | Mt 8:18-22 |
| But no rest for the Son of Man. | Mt 8:20 |
| When seas get rough, we get real scared | Mt 8:23-25 |
| It's like we think God's not prepared. | Mt 8:26 |
| But he's the Lord that makes and saves | Mt 8:26-27 |
| He's Lord of all, of wind and waves. | Mt 8:26-27 |
| He drives out demons, forgive sins, | Mt 8:28-9:8 |
| The hearts of sickly sinners wins. | Mt 9:9-12 |
| He says "let mercy fill your slate". | Mt 9:13 |
| He is the cause to celebrate. | Mt 9:14-17 |
| He healed her who for years had bled. | Mt 9:20-22 |
| He raised a young girl from the dead. | Mt 9:18-19,23-26 |
| He healed the mute, he healed the blind. | Mt 9:27-33 |
| His deeds the Pharisees maligned. | Mt 9:34 |
| He preached in each town he went through. | Mt 9:35-36 |
| The harvest ready, workers few. | Mt 9:37-38 |
| He said, "Disciples, off you go. | Mt 10:1 |
| Israelites yes, Gentiles no. | Mt 10:5-6 |
| And don't take cash, you're worth your bread. | Mt 10:9-10 |
| Just drive out demons, raise the dead. | Mt 10:8 |
| Give peace among the homes you stay. | Mt 10:11-13 |
| But if refused, shake dust away. | Mt 10:14 |
| Your message that must stay premier: | Mt 10:7 |
| The kingdom heaven has is near. | Mt 10:7 |
| The world will hate you 'cause of me. | Mt 10:22 |
| A house will have disunity. | Mt 10:34-37 |
| When they arrest you, things look bleak | Mt 10:19 |
| Don't fret, for through you God will speak. | Mt 10:20 |
| Don't fear those who your flesh control | Mt 10:28 |
| But God who owns your flesh and soul. | Mt 10:28 |
| He knows each bird, alive or dead. | Mt 10:29 |
| He knows each hair upon your head. | Mt 10:30 |
| Acknowledge me in front of men, | Mt 10:32 |
| In front of God, I'll save you then. | Mt 10:32 |
| Serve me or anyone I send | Mt 10:39-42 |
| And you'll receive a dividend." | Mt 10:39-42 |
| John asked, "It's you? or is there more?" | Mt 11:2-3 |
| Christ said, "Good news preached to the poor". | Mt 11:4-5 |
| "My messenger prepared a path, | Mt 11:7-15 |
| but doubters doubt, and will get wrath. | Mt 11:16-24 |
| God gets to choose who will be blessed. | Mt 11:25-27 |
| Now come to me and you'll find rest." | Mt 11:28-30 |
| On legal technicality | Mt 12:10 |
| Can one heal abnormality? | Mt 12:10 |
| When asked by teachers if he should, | Mt 12:10 |
| "It's always lawful to do good." | Mt 12:11-13 |
| With actions benedictory | Mt 12:15-17 |
| he leads justice to victory. | Mt 12:18-21 |
| Blaspheme the Spirit - no fresh start. | Mt 12:31-32 |
| The words you say flow from your heart. | Mt 12:33-37 |
| Ask not to see a miracle | Mt 12:38-45 |
| Faith's not from the empirical. | Mt 12:38-45 |
| Defining his own family: | Mt 12:46-50 |
| "It's those who follow God's decree." | Mt 12:46-50 |
| He told the crowd a parable | Mt 13:1-3 |
| Said, "live in soil that's arable". | Mt 13:4-9 |
| Some hear but don't hear God's command | Mt 13:13-15 |
| But blessed are you who understand. | Mt 13:16 |
| As wheat among the evil weeds, | Mt 13:36-43 |
| As power inside mustard seeds, | Mt 13:31-32 |
| As pearls or nets, be leaven-like, | Mt 13:34-52 |
| That's what the reign of heaven's like. | Mt 13:24,31,33,44,47 |
| He healed and had compassion on | Mt 14:13 |
| The crowds after the death of John. | Mt 14:1-12 |
| With bread and just a couple fish | Mt 14:15-19 |
| He fed five thousand all they wished. | Mt 14:20-21 |
| Christ walked on water faithfully | Mt 14:22-27 |
| And if we're called to, so can we. | Mt 14:28-33 |
| Don't have cold hearts like blinded fools. | Mt 15:1-20 |
| Seek God, not mere religious rules. | Mt 15:1-20 |
| The people fed, a girl set free | Mt 15:21-39 |
| By faith and with humility. | Mt 15:21-39 |
| Beware false teachers, right now, run. | Mt 16:6 |
| Instead heed the Anointed One. | Mt 16:13-20 |
| Though Jesus renamed Simon Rock | Mt 16:17-19 |
| He soon became a stumbling block | Mt 16:21-23 |
| To save your life, count it a loss. | Mt 16:25 |
| To follow Christ, pick up your cross. | Mt 16:24 |
| To gain the world, in part or whole | Mt 16:26 |
| Is worthless if you lose your soul. | Mt 16:26 |
| They hiked up to a mountain space | Mt 17:1 |
| Where like the sun shined Jesus' face. | Mt 17:2 |
| A cloud engulfed them, big and bright | Mt 17:5 |
| Said God, "In my Son I delight". | Mt 17:5 |
| A man approached the Lord and kneeled, | Mt 17:14 |
| He begged for his son to be healed. | Mt 17:15-16 |
| Disciples watched the spirit bout | Mt 17:18 |
| As Jesus drove the demon out. | Mt 17:18 |
| They asked, "Why couldn't we succeed?" | Mt 17:19 |
| He said, "You lack the faith you need." | Mt 17:20 |
| "Betrayed soon to the hands of men | Mt 17:22 |
| I'll die and then I'll rise again. | Mt 17:23 |
| Be humble like a little child. | Mt 18:1-6 |
| Christ came to clean the most defiled. | Mt 18:10-14 |
| Be bold, God is your guarantor. | Mt 18:15-20 |
| Forgive, you've been forgiven more. | Mt 18:21-35 |
| The rules aren't to be cut and spliced. | Mt 19:1-12,16-20 |
| Be innocent, and follow Christ. | Mt 13-15,21-30 |
| The Lord is just, so for him sweat. | Mt 20:1-10 |
| Don't worry 'bout what others get. | Mt 20:11-15 |
| The first to last, the last to first. | Mt 20:16 |
| The perfect killed for the accursed." | Mt 20:17-19 |
| Indignant at two brothers' nerve | Mt 20:20-24 |
| Disciples learned - to be great, Serve. | Mt 20:25-28 |
| Despite the crowd, two blind men plea. | Mt 20:29-31 |
| "Have mercy Lord," soon they could see. | Mt 20:32-34 |
 | |
| Into the city rode the king | Mt 21:1-11 |
| To make himself an offering. | Mt 21:1-11 |
| He drove out merchants to declare | Mt 21:12 |
| His house shall be a house of prayer. | Mt 21:13 |
| The children cheered. The fig tree died. | Mt 21:16-20 |
| You can have all with prayer applied. | Mt 21:21-22 |
| The leaders still he did confound. | Mt 21:23-27 |
| Then with some parables expound. | Mt 21:28 |
| What matters more; just what you say, | Mt 21:28-32 |
| Or actions that you do today? | Mt 21:28-32 |
| God won't reward those offered first | Mt 21:33-46 |
| If they refuse him, they'll be cursed. | Mt 21:33-46 |
| The party's on, so just say Yes | Mt 22:1-14 |
| And clothe yourself with righteousness. | Mt 22:1-14 |
| He wasn't trapped by a tax quiz: | Mt 22:15-20 |
| "Give rulers theirs, and God what's his". | Mt 22:21 |
| He answered next, "Have you not read? | Mt 22:23-28 |
| God rules the living, not the dead." | Mt 22:29-32 |
| They tried to test him on the Law. | Mt 22:34-36 |
| "Love God. Love people. There, that's all." | Mt 22:37-40 |
| Then Christ unleashed his diatribe | Mt 23:1 |
| Against the Pharisees and scribes. | Mt 23:2 |
| "They add new rules for men to reach | Mt 23:4 |
| But do not practice what they preach. | Mt 23:3 |
| All that they do's for men to see | Mt 23:5 |
| Their tassels and phylacteries. | Mt 23:5 |
| They love their titles and good seats | Mt 23:6-7 |
| To be saluted in the streets. | Mt 23:7 |
| Though they put up a clean facade, | Mt 23:25-26 |
| They swear by gold and don't trust God. | Mt 23:16-17 |
| A tenth of spices they collect | Mt 23:23 |
| But Faith and Mercy they neglect. | Mt 23:23 |
| They preach abroad but shut the door | Mt 23:13-15 |
| On sinners, prophets, God and more. | Mt 23:13-15,31 |
| They're self-indulgent hypocrites | Mt 23:27-28 |
| Whose house has been made desolate. | Mt 23:38 |
| Instead, be servants, you redeemed | Mt 23:11 |
| Be humbled first, to be esteemed." | Mt 23:12 |
| Discussing how the world would end, | Mt 24:1-2 |
| Disciples said, "So, tell us when." | Mt 24:3 |
| First wars and famines, earthquakes too | Mt 24:6-8 |
| Then they'll hate Jesus freaks like you. | Mt 24:9 |
| The faith of many will erode | Mt 24:10 |
| As wickedness makes love grow cold. | Mt 24:12 |
| In all the world, good news extend. | Mt 24:14 |
| The saved will stand firm to the end. | Mt 24:13 |
| When "I am God" claims the accursed | Mt 24:15 |
| Then flee and prepare for the worst. | Mt 24:16-22 |
| Don't trust false prophets' sorcery | Mt 24:23-24 |
| When Jesus comes back, all shall see. | Mt 24:27,30 |
| Don't join the drunkards, that'd be dumb | Mt 24:45-51 |
| Keep watch, you don't know when he'll come. | Mt 24:36-44 |
| Keep watch with your light burning bright | Mt 25:1-9 |
| So you'll be ready day or night. | Mt 25:10-13 |
| Serve God with talents given you | Mt 25:14-23 |
| Do not let fear and sloth accrue | Mt 25:24-30 |
| When helping others, those in need, | Mt 25:31-46 |
| God will reward you, guaranteed. | Mt 25:31-46 |
| The bad guys met before the feast | Mt 26:3 |
| To plot with Caiaphus the priest | Mt 26:4-5 |
| To capture Jesus. Judas joins. | Mt 26:16 |
| He'll trade Christ in for thirty coins. | Mt 26:14-15 |
| A woman poured upon his head | Mt 26:6-9 |
| Perfume, since soon he would be dead. | Mt 26:10-13 |
| Christ said, once Passover was made, | Mt 26:17-25 |
| "By one of you I'll be betrayed. | Mt 26:17-25 |
| Now eat, and drink, my blood is poured | Mt 26:26-28 |
| The price for sin, in God's accord. | Mt 26:26-28 |
| You are my flock, but you'll take flight. | Mt 26:31 |
| In fact, you'll fall away tonight. | Mt 26:31 |
| Sit here while I go there to pray | Mt 26:36 |
| I'm sad and filled with much dismay. | Mt 26:38 |
| Keep watch or sin may on you sneak. | Mt 26:41 |
| The spirit willing, body weak. | Mt 26:41 |
| My Father, take this from my please. | Mt 26:39 |
| But only as your will decrees." | Mt 26:42 |
| Then Judas led a multitude | Mt 26:47 |
| He kissed Christ and a fight ensued | Mt 26:48-51 |
| Till Jesus said, "Put down your sword. | Mt 26:52 |
| You think I couldn't stop this horde? | Mt 26:53 |
| But all must pass as prophets said." | Mt 26:54-56 |
| Then the disciples, they all fled. | Mt 26:56 |
| They grabbed and led him off to court | Mt 26:57 |
| Their witness did the truth distort. | Mt 26:59-61 |
| The chief priest said, "Won't you reply? | Mt 26:62 |
| Are you the Son of God Most High?" | Mt 26:63 |
| "As you have said. Now from this hour | Mt 26:64 |
| The Son of Man shall sit with power. | Mt 26:64 |
| They cried, "We've heard from his own breath. | Mt 26:65 |
| That's blasphemy, send him to death." | Mt 26:65-68 |
| Questioned if he with Jesus ran, | Mt 26:69 |
| Said Peter, "I don't know the man". | Mt 26:70-75 |
| Then Judas, too, filled with remorse | Mt 27:3-4 |
| Returned the money to its source. | Mt 27:3 |
| The governor, now, for the Feast | Mt 27:15 |
| Asked if they wanted Christ released. | Mt 27:16-21 |
| The crowd did not want, he asked "Why?" | Mt 27:21-23 |
| But they just shouted, "Crucify!" | Mt 27:23 |
| The soldiers mocked the king with scorn | Mt 27:27-31 |
| And capped him with a crown of thorns. | Mt 27:29 |
| They crucified him, took his clothes | Mt 27:35 |
| They mocked him to add to his woes. | Mt 27:41 |
| "Though others he healed and forgave, | Mt 27:42 |
| It seems himself he cannot save." | Mt 27:42 |
| Then darkness came, though it was day, | Mt 27:45 |
| "My God, why have you gone away?" | Mt 27:46 |
| When Jesus died, the earth, it shook. | Mt 27:50-51 |
| The soldiers shared a frightened look. | Mt 27:54 |
| Now terrified, what had they done? | Mt 27:54 |
| "For surely this man was God's son." | Mt 27:54 |
| His body, wrapped, entombed it lay | Mt 27:57-60 |
| A guard was posted night and day. | Mt 27:62-66 |
| The Marys, shocked out of their gloom | Mt 28:1 |
| An angel opened up the tomb! | Mt 28:2 |
| The angel was like lightning, bright | Mt 28:3 |
| The guards all nearly died of fright. | Mt 28:4 |
| The angel said, "Don't be afraid. | Mt 28:5 |
| Go see the place where he was laid. | Mt 28:6 |
| Now he has risen from the dead. | Mt 28:6 |
| Now go, for he has gone ahead." | Mt 28:7 |
| They ran till Jesus they did meet. | Mt 28:8-9 |
| They fell and worshipped at his feet. | Mt 28:10 |
| Soon the disciples met him too | Mt 28:16 |
| Some doubted while some worshipped true. | Mt 28:17 |
| Said Jesus, "All authority | Mt 28:18 |
| On earth and heaven giv'n to me. | Mt 28:18 |
| Now go and all the nations reach | Mt 28:19 |
| Disciple them, baptize and teach. | Mt 28:19-20 |
| I am with you, at every stage, | Mt 28:20 |
| Unto the very end of age." | Mt 28:20 |
The Gospel of Mark Rhymes | |
| To start this here Messiah note, | Mk 1:1 |
| Look back to what Isaiah wrote. | Mk 1:2 |
| "I'll send my messenger to say, | Mk 1:2-3 |
| 'Prepare your hearts, God comes this way.'" | Mk 1:3 |
| Well that was John, who advertised | Mk 1:4 |
| Repentence and to be baptized. | Mk 1:4-5 |
| But he was clear, "The time is nigh, | Mk 1:7 |
| There comes one mightier than I. | Mk 1:7 |
| Into the water I put you, | Mk 1:8 |
| But with the Spirit, he'll imbue." | Mk 1:8 |
| Then Jesus came, and in he goes, | Mk 1:9 |
| Then heaven opened as he rose. | Mk 1:10 |
| From heaven came a voice with might, | Mk 1:11 |
| "I love you, Son, in you delight". | Mk 1:11 |
| Then sent out to the wilderness, | Mk 1:12 |
| Was tempted and he passed the test. | Mk 1:13 |
| "God's kingdom is at hand," he said. | Mk 1:15 |
| "I'll make you fish for men instead." | Mk 1:17 |
| He gathered followers to teach. | Mk 1:16-20 |
| Went to the synagogue to preach. | Mk 1:21 |
| He taught with such authority. | Mk 1:22 |
| He made an unclean spirit flee. | Mk 1:23-26 |
| He fixed a fever, then healed more. | Mk 1:30-34 |
| The city gathered at their door. | Mk 1:33 |
| Then early, 'fore the break of day, | Mk 1:35 |
| He left the house alone to pray. | Mk 1:35 |
 | |
| Told Simon, then, when he was found, | Mk 1:36-37 |
| "Let's spread the news to other towns." | Mk 1:38 |
| There came a man with leprosy | Mk 1:40 |
| Who begged for help on bended knee. | Mk 1:40 |
| "Please will you end my quarantine?" | Mk 1:40 |
| "I will," said Jesus, then, "Be clean." | Mk 1:41-42 |
| He healed a paralytic man. | Mk 2:1-12 |
| Forgave his sins, "because I can". | Mk 2:10 |
| Reclined by Matthew's dinner plate, | Mk 2:13-15 |
| One asked why he with sinners ate. | Mk 2:16 |
| "Who needs a doctor," he asked quick. | Mk 2:17 |
| "It's not the healthy, but the sick." | Mk 2:17 |
| Then, "Why don't your disciples fast?" | Mk 2:18 |
| "They're with the bridegroom at long last." | Mk 2:19 |
| "Why break the Sabbath as you do?" | Mk 2:23-24 |
| "Because I'm Lord of Sabbath too." | Mk 2:25-28 |
| So then a man with withered hand | Mk 3:1 |
| Was healed at Jesus's command. | Mk 3:2-5 |
| The Pharisees, now, quite annoyed | Mk 3:6 |
| Decided he must be destroyed. | Mk 3:6 |
| Then to the seaside he withdrew. | Mk 3:7 |
| The crowd that followed grew and grew. | Mk 3:7-9 |
| Then twelve he chose with him to be, | Mk 3:13-19 |
| To preach and have authority. | Mk 3:14-15 |
| Some said he's crazy or possessed. | Mk 3:21-22 |
| Their blasphemy he did protest. | Mk 3:28-30 |
| His family's those who do God's will. | Mk 3:31-35 |
| Be seeds in soil that God tilled. | Mk 4:1-20 |
| God's light is truth that must be shown. | Mk 4:21-23 |
| His ways are bursting to be known. | Mk 4:24-32 |
| Then with his crew out on a boat, | Mk 4:35-36 |
| Concerned they wouldn't stay afloat, | Mk 4:37-38 |
| While Jesus slept, disciples cry | Mk 4:38 |
| "Do you not care? We're gonna die!" | Mk 4:38 |
| So Jesus woke and calmed the squall. | Mk 4:39 |
| Said, "Really? Have you faith at all?" | Mk 4:40 |
| A man whom evil spirit dooms | Mk 5:1-5 |
| Was forced to live out in the tombs. | Mk 5:3 |
| The demon shrieked as Jesus came. | Mk 5:6-7 |
| Christ cast it out and asked its name. | Mk 5:8-9 |
| Christ told the man, healed through and through. | Mk 5:18-19 |
| "Go tell what God has done for you." | Mk 5:19 |
| A woman who had suffered much | Mk 5:25-26 |
| Thought she'd be cured with just one touch. | Mk 5:27-28 |
| Said Christ, once power was released, | Mk 5:30-33 |
| "Your faith has healed you, go in peace." | Mk 5:34 |
| A man fell at his feet to plead, | Mk 5:22-23 |
| "My daughter's sick, it's you we need." | Mk 5:23 |
| Then someone came from up ahead. | Mk 5:35 |
| "It is too late, your daughter's dead." | Mk 5:35 |
| "Don't let fear make you misconceive." | Mk 5:36 |
| Yeshua told him, "Just believe." | Mk 5:36 |
| They met the mourners on the path. | Mk 5:38 |
| "She's just asleep," but they all laughed. | Mk 5:39-40 |
| He took the child by the hand. | Mk 5:41 |
| "Young girl, I say to you now, stand." | Mk 5:41 |
| He taught in his own country hence. | Mk 6:1-2 |
| Astonished, still they took offense. | Mk 6:2-3 |
| "A prophet may have world-renown, | Mk 6:4 |
| But honor, none in his hometown." | Mk 6:4 |
| He sent the twelve out two by two. | Mk 6:7 |
| Commanded them on what to do. | Mk 6:7-11 |
| "Take just the clothes upon your back. | Mk 6:8-9 |
| Do not take money or a snack." | Mk 6:8 |
| So to the other towns he went. | Mk 6:12 |
| They healed and told the crowds, "Repent!" | Mk 6:12-13 |
| Then Herod, paranoid with guilt, | Mk 6:14 |
| About a man whose blood he'd spilt. | Mk 6:16-28 |
| He feared John, but cut off his head. | Mk 6:20-28 |
| Now feared he'd come back from the dead. | Mk 6:17 |
| The twelve returned, then, from their quest. | Mk 6:30 |
| Christ said, "Let's go and get some rest." | Mk 6:31 |
| The crowd, though, found them, thousands deep. | Mk 6:33 |
| To the Great Shepherd came the sheep. | Mk 6:34 |
| So Jesus taught the multitude. | Mk 6:34 |
| Told his disciples, "Get them food." | Mk 6:37 |
| "That'd cost two hundred denarii." | Mk 6:37 |
| "Well what food have you? Go and see." | Mk 6:38 |
| They had about enough for ten, | Mk 6:38 |
| But there were 'round five thousand men. | Mk 6:44 |
 | |
| He looked to heaven. Broke the loaves. | Mk 6:41 |
| They multiplied and fed the droves. | Mk 6:42-43 |
| He made the twelve then sail away | Mk 6:45 |
| While he went up the hill to pray. | Mk 6:46 |
| Then in the middle of the night | Mk 6:47-48 |
| They saw him and had quite a fright. | Mk 6:49-50 |
| For he was walking on the sea. | Mk 6:48-49 |
| "Fear not you guys," he said, "It's me." | Mk 6:50 |
| They were amazed. Now understood. | Mk 6:51-52 |
| Then Jesus went on doing good. | Mk 6:53-56 |
| Asked why they ate with unwashed hands - | Mk 7:1-5 |
| "You love men's rules, not God's commands." | Mk 7:6-13 |
| "Such things are not what sin's about. | Mk 7:14-15 |
| Not what goes in, but what comes out. | Mk 7:15 |
| What comes out comes out from the heart, | Mk 7:12-20 |
| In actions which they then take part. | Mk 7:21-23 |
| He healed a Gentile girl and man. | Mk 7:24-37 |
| He multiplied the food again. | Mk 8:1-9 |
| The Pharisees came to dispute. | Mk 8:11 |
| Christ shut them down, was resolute. | Mk 8:12 |
| "Beware their faithless yeast," he said. | Mk 8:15 |
| Disciples thought he meant the bread. | Mk 8:16 |
| "You've been beside me, seen first hand. | Mk 8:17-20 |
| How do you still not understand?" | Mk 8:21 |
| He touched a blind man, made him well. | Mk 8:22-25 |
| Sent him back home, said not to tell. | Mk 8:26 |
| Near Cesearea Philippi, | Mk 8:27 |
| "What say the people, who am I?" | Mk 8:27 |
| "Elijah, John, the prophets too." | Mk 8:28 |
| So then he asked, "Well what say you?" | Mk 8:29 |
| "We know you're the Anointed One." | Mk 8:30 |
| Then Christ explained what must be done. | Mk 8:31 |
| "I'll be rejected, then be killed. | Mk 8:31 |
| I'll rise," but Peter wasn't thrilled. | Mk 8:31-32 |
| Rebuking Christ he said, "No way!" | Mk 8:32 |
| "You're filled with Satan. Get away!" | Mk 8:33 |
| You cannot serve the Father when | Mk 8:33 |
| You have in mind the things of men. | Mk 8:33 |
| "Disown yourself, my path to take. | Mk 8:34 |
| To save your soul, lose for my sake. | Mk 8:35 |
| Salvation, child, you cannot earn. | Mk 8:37 |
| Call now, I'll call on my return." | Mk 8:38 |
| Then Jesus, Peter, John and James | Mk 9:2 |
| Went up a mountain, where proclaims | Mk 9:2 |
| The Father, his voice in a cloud, | Mk 9:7 |
| "I love my son," they heard aloud. | Mk 9:7 |
| His clothes took on a dazzling sheen, | Mk 9:3 |
| The whitest white they'd ever seen. | Mk 9:3 |
| "Now hear him," said the voice revered. | Mk 9:7 |
| Then suddenly it disappeared. | Mk 9:8 |
| While walking down then Jesus said, | Mk 9:9 |
| "Don't tell till I rise from the dead." | Mk 9:9 |
| They came upon a crowd distressed | Mk 9:14 |
| About a boy who was possessed. | Mk 9:17-18 |
| "Please," begged the father, "cast it out." | Mk 9:22 |
| First Jesus focused on his doubt. | Mk 9:23 |
| "I do believe," he cried through grief, | Mk 9:24 |
| "Help overcome my unbelief." | Mk 9:25 |
| They left and went through Galilee. | Mk 9:30 |
| Then Jesus taught them privately. | Mk 9:30-31 |
| "The Son of Man will be betrayed, | Mk 9:31 |
| Be killed and rise." They were afraid. | Mk 9:31-32 |
| Then in Capernaum Jesus heard | Mk 9:33 |
| Them arguing. Said, "What's the word?" | Mk 9:33 |
| They'd argued, though no one confessed, | Mk 9:34 |
| Of who among them was the best. | Mk 9:34 |
| "To come in first, put yourself last. | Mk 9:35 |
| As servant of mankind be cast." | Mk 9:35 |
| "To serve a child is to serve God. | Mk 9:36-37 |
| Whoever serves mine, I'll applaud." | Mk 9:38-41 |
| "What causes sin in you, cut out. | Mk 9:43-48 |
| Stay useful, peaceful, pure, devout." | Mk 9:49-58 |
| Asked 'bout a loophole on divorce - | Mk 10:2 |
| "Go back to the initial source. | Mk 10:6 |
| What God has joined, don't rip apart. | Mk 10:7-9 |
| Let go the hardness of your heart." | Mk 10:5 |
| As children do, accept God's reign. | Mk 10:13-17 |
| In time, all worldly wealth is vain. | Mk 10:18-27 |
| "What you give up for me, behold: | Mk 10:29 |
| You will get back a hundredfold." | Mk 10:30 |
| His death, again, he told the twelve. | Mk 10:32-34 |
| But they just fought amongst themselves. | Mk 10:35-41 |
| "You know of state authority. | Mk 10:42 |
| Pow'r doesn't work the same with me. | Mk 10:43 |
| I am a ransom - why I came. | Mk 10:45 |
| See how I serve and do the same." | Mk 10:43-45 |
| Against the crowds a blind man braved. | Mk 10:46-51 |
| "Go. By your faith you have been saved." | Mk 10:52 |
| He rode into Jerusalem. | Mk 11:1-7 |
| "Hosanna!" cried those hailing him. | Mk 11:8-10 |
| The temple, then, he walked into. | Mk 11:15 |
| The vendors' tables overthrew. | Mk 11:15 |
| "A house of prayer this should have been. | Mk 11:17 |
| You've turned it to a robber's den." | Mk 11:17 |
| He cursed a fig tree, then explained | Mk 11:12-14,20-21 |
| By prayer all things can be attained. | Mk 11:22-24 |
| The chief priests tried to set a trap. | Mk 11:27-28 |
| He turned it 'round and trapped them back. | Mk 11:29-33 |
| A parable about a farm, | Mk 12:1-9 |
| 'Bout broken trust and brutal harm | Mk 12:1-9 |
| Showed priestly culpability | Mk 12:1-12 |
| For failed responsibility. | Mk 12:1-12 |
| For God Himself they had disowned. | Mk 12:10 |
| Rejected, then, His cornerstone. | Mk 12:10 |
| To inquiry nefarious | Mk 12:13-15 |
| Christ held up a denarius. | Mk 12:15-17 |
| "Give Caesar that which has his face. | Mk 12:16-17 |
| Give God the things he put in place." | Mk 12:17 |
| The Sadducees said, "How 'bout this?" | Mk 12:18-23 |
| Christ showed them how they were amiss. | Mk 12:24-27 |
| "Which is the best command we'll find?" | Mk 12:28 |
| "Love God with heart, soul, strength, and mind." | Mk 12:29-31 |
| "Beware conceited scribes, whereas | Mk 12:38-40 |
| The widow there gave all she has." | Mk 12:41-44 |
| "All man's construction will not last." | Mk 13:1-2 |
| "Please tell us when these things will pass." | Mk 13:3-4 |
| "Don't know exactly. There'll be signs. | Mk 13:28-33 |
| Like famines, earthquakes, troubled times. | Mk 13:7-8 |
| There will be wars. You'll be attacked. | Mk 13:7-9 |
| Don't let betrayals make you retract. | Mk 13:12-13 |
| When led to rulers, don't dismay. | Mk 13:9-11 |
| Your God will give you what to say. | Mk 13:11 |
| When blasphemy hits its apex. | Mk 13:14 |
| Unmatched oppression will come next. | Mk 13:15-20 |
| Don't heed the false christs in the crowds. | Mk 13:21-23 |
| I'll come with glory in the clouds. | Mk 13:26 |
| I've told you. Take heed not to botch. | Mk 13:23,28-30 |
| I say to all - Be ready. Watch." | Mk 13:33,37 |
| A woman that some thought bizarre | Mk 14:3-5 |
| She broke an alabaster jar. | Mk 14:3 |
| She poured the oil on his head. | Mk 14:3 |
| "It's my embalming," Jesus said. | Mk 14:8 |
| Then Judas went with treason mad | Mk 14:10 |
| Which made the chief priests very glad. | Mk 14:11 |
| Meanwhile disciples went to meet | Mk 14:12-13 |
| Preparing for a place to eat. | Mk 14:12-14 |
| They went and found the upper room | Mk 14:15-16 |
| Where they'd eat the last supper soon. | Mk 14:16-17 |
| He broke the bread and poured the wine. | Mk 14:22-23 |
| "Take in this flesh and blood of mine." | Mk 14:22-24 |
| "Tonight you'll stumble, might be dazed. | Mk 14:27 |
| I'll see you after I am raised." | Mk 14:28 |
| Said Peter, "They might fail. Not me." | Mk 14:29 |
| "You'll fail me not one time, but three." | Mk 14:30 |
| "No. Even if I have to die, | Mk 14:31 |
| There's no way that you I'll deny." | Mk 14:31 |
| Then Jesus, troubled, went to pray. | Mk 14:32-34 |
| He asked his men to watch and stay. | Mk 14:32-34 |
| He went ahead, fell to his knees. | Mk 14:35 |
| "Abba, don't make me do this please. | Mk 14:35-36 |
| You can do all things, even now. | Mk 14:36 |
| Not what I will," he said, "but Thou." | Mk 14:36 |
| Asleep he found that recent vower. | Mk 14:37 |
| "Could you not watch for just one hour?" | Mk 14:37 |
| Went two more times to pray, then done, | Mk 14:39-41 |
| Woke them again. "The time has come." | Mk 14:41-42 |
| "Hi Rabbi," Judas nicely feigned. | Mk 14:45 |
| ID'd, now Jesus was detained. | Mk 14:46 |
| "You've come with swords like I'm a thief. | Mk 14:48 |
| But all this to fulfill the brief." | Mk 14:49 |
| Before the council testified | Mk 14:55-59 |
| Collective witnesses who lied. | Mk 14:55-59 |
| "Are you the Christ, Son of the Blessed?" | Mk 14:61 |
| The chief priest asked. He answered yes. | Mk 14:61-62 |
| "That's blasphemy! Now he must die." | Mk 14:63-64 |
| They struck him and said, "Prophesy!" | Mk 14:65 |
| A maid saw Peter standing, fraught. | Mk 14:66-70 |
| Said, "You are with him." "No I'm not." | Mk 67-70 |
| "You talk like him. You're in his pod." | Mk 14:70 |
| "I don't know him. I swear to God!" | Mk 14:71 |
| To Pilate, Jesus they did bring. | Mk 15:1 |
| "Well," Pilate asked, "are you their king?" | Mk 15:2 |
| "So you say," he answered short, | Mk 15:2 |
| And that would be his last retort. | Mk 15:3-5 |
| So Pilate trotted Jesus out. | Mk 15:6-12 |
| "Now crucify," the crowd did shout. | Mk 15:13 |
| "What, crucify? Why, for what crime?" | Mk 15:14 |
| They shouted louder yet this time. | Mk 15:14 |
| They mocked and beat him, then they hung | Mk 15:15-24 |
| Him on the cross, and insults flung. | Mk 15:29-32 |
| Three hours darkness filled the sky. | Mk 15:33 |
| "You have forsaken me God. Why?" | Mk 15:34 |
| Then as his final breath he drew, | Mk 15:37 |
| The temple curtain tore in two. | Mk 15:38 |
| So then a man well-known in town, | Mk 15:43 |
| He asked to take the body down. | Mk 15:43 |
| Laid Jesus in the tomb he owned | Mk 15:45-46 |
| And closed the entrance with a stone. | Mk 15:46 |
| Three women, once the Sabbath passed, | Mk 16:1-2 |
| Went to the tomb, were flabbergast. | Mk 16:1-5 |
| Because the giant stone was rolled. | Mk 16:4 |
| "You'll see him soon, just as he told." | Mk 16:7 |
| The young man speaking wore all white, | Mk 16:5 |
| Was sitting calmly on the right. | Mk 16:5 |
| "Don't be amazed. Though he was dead, | Mk 16:6 |
| He's risen and has gone ahead." | Mk 16:6-7 |
| Yeshua met with Mary first, | Mk 16:9 |
| Then two who 'cross a field traversed. | Mk 16:12 |
| Apostles didn't think it real | Mk 16:10-13 |
| Till Jesus showed up at their meal. | Mk 16:14 |
| Rebuking them, he then declared, | Mk 16:14 |
| "Go preach the good news everywhere. | Mk 16:15 |
| Those who believe, such faith saves them. | Mk 16:16 |
| But those who don't will be condemned." | Mk 16:16 |
| Then up to heaven, magnified. | Mk 16:19 |
| He sat down at the Father's side. | Mk 16:19 |
| With miracles to validate, | Mk 16:20 |
| Disciples preached salvation great. | Mk 16:20 |
The Gospel of Luke Rhymes | |
| God made the virgin have a boy. | Lk 1:26-38 |
| Made John the fetus leap for joy. | Lk 1:39-45 |
| Let two old people hold the king. | Lk 2:25-38 |
| Let Jesus learn and Mary sing. | Lk 2:39-52 & 1:46-66 |
| Sent John out to the wild to stay. | Lk 3:1-14 |
| Sent Jesus to him, then said “Hey”. | Lk 3:22 |
| He used the Word to beat Deceit. | Lk 4:1-13 |
| Fulfilled the scroll and dodged the heat. | Lk 4:14-30 |
| Called average men to follow him. | Lk 5:1-11 & 27-32 |
| He healed the sick, forgave their sin. | Lk 4:31-44 & 5:12-26 |
| Christ healed on weekdays, weekends too. | Lk 6:1-11 |
| Prayed for the Twelve the whole night through. | Lk 6:11-16 |
| He told us to love those who hate. | Lk 6:27-28 |
| He said to give to those who take. | Lk 6:29-30 |
| He blessed the poor from on the mount. | Lk 6:20-26 |
| And said it’s what’s inside that counts. | Lk 6:43-45 |
| Blind see, deaf hear, dead rise, lame run. | Lk 7:18-30 |
| What man can’t do, God does for fun. | Lk 1:37 |
| Told stories using debts and seeds. | Lk 7:36-50 & 8:4-15 |
| He is the light the whole world needs. | Lk 8:16-21 |
| When storms got rough he calmed the waves. | Lk 8:22-23 |
| The crazy, bleeding, dead he saves. | Lk 8:26-56 |
| The Twelve he sent to roads ahead. | Lk 9:1-6 |
| Then thousands ate his fish and bread. | Lk 9:10-17 |
| God showed the Twelve he was the One. | Lk 9:18-27 |
| Then made his face bright as the sun. | Lk 9:28-36 |
| You must be low to be the best. | Lk 9:46-50 |
| To follow Christ, forget the rest. | Lk 9:57-62 |
| God sent more out, who then returned. | Lk 10:1-12 & 10:17-24 |
| The unrepentant will be burned. | Lk 10:13-16 |
| Have compassion, don’t just hurry. | Lk 10:25-37 |
| Learn and listen, don’t just worry. | Lk 10:38-42 |
| Ask for the bread you need to live. | Lk 11:1-4 |
| Ask of God, he loves to give. | Lk 11:5-13 |
| Jesus blessed the righteous deed. | Lk 11:27-36 |
| Then condemned the leaders’ greed. | Lk 11:37-54 |
| Speak up for Christ, that is your part. | Lk 12:8-12 |
| For what you value gets your heart. | Lk 12:22-34 |
| Work for the Father, not for pay. | Lk 12:13-21 |
| Act like he’ll return today. | Lk 12:35-48 |
| To please the Lord, do as he bids. | Lk 13:1-9 |
| To honor God, just love his kids. | Lk 13:10-17 |
| Big change comes from small, like yeast. | Lk 13:18-21 |
| To come in first, first be the least. | Lk 13:22-30 |
| Be humble when you choose your seat, | Lk 14:7-11 |
| And share with poor folks when you eat. | Lk 14:12-24 |
| You must recognize the cost | Lk 14:25-35 |
| To follow Christ and find the lost. | Lk 15:1-32 |
| At death, life cannot be redone. | Lk 16:14-31 |
| It’s God or money, choose just one. | Lk 16:1-13 |
| Flee sin, grow faith for all your days. | Lk 17:1-6 |
| Heaven’s your reward, not praise. | Lk 17:7-10 |
| Christ healed to teach us faith is dear. | Lk 17:11-19 |
| God’s kingdom is already here. | Lk 17:20-37 |
| Our God can use bad men for good. | Lk 18:1-8 |
| If you don’t know you’re bad, you should. | Lk 18:9-14 |
| Trust God like little children do. | Lk 18:15-17 |
| For Christ did not just ride the pew. | Lk 18:31-34 |
| Your faith must be in God not wealth. | Lk 18:18-30 |
| A blind man’s faith restored his health. | Lk 18:35-43 |
| Employ your gifts ‘cause more he’ll bring. | Lk 19:11-28 |
| Jesus entered town as King. | Lk 19:29-40 |
| He said the city’d be destroyed. | Lk 19:41-44 |
| At temple, crowds were overjoyed. | Lk 19:45-48 |
| He condemned the leaders’ acts. | Lk 20:1-19 |
| Give God your heart, the state its tax. | Lk 20:20-26 |
| Beware those who will not repent. | Lk 20:27-47 |
| Give like the widow, every cent. | Lk 21:1-4 |
| He foretold Tribulation’s hurt. | Lk 21:5-28 |
| The Lord told Christians, “Stay alert”. | Lk 21:29-38 |
| Then sin in Judas cut a deal. | Lk 22:1-6 |
| Jesus served the Passover meal. | Lk 22:14-23 |
| He said to lead you first must serve. | Lk 22:24-30 |
| Told Peter that he’d lose his nerve. | Lk 22:31-34 |
| While Jesus prayed, disciples slept. | Lk 22:39-46 |
| Then from the darkness, Judas crept. | Lk 22:47-48 |
| With swords they fought for his release. | Lk 22:49-50 |
| But Jesus, he maintained the peace. | Lk 22:51-53 |
| Peter cried, felt like a traitor. | Lk 22:54-62 |
| Christ said he’d sit by the Creator. | Lk 22:66-71 |
| Then Pilate gave in to the horde. | Lk 23:13-25 |
| With criminals, they killed the Lord. | Lk 23:26-43 |
 | |
| The sun went dark, the curtain ripped. | Lk 23:44-49 |
| They laid his body in a crypt. | Lk 23:50-56 |
| But in the tomb he didn’t stay. | Lk 24:3 |
| The stone was shortly rolled away. | Lk 24:2 |
| Inside instead two dazzling men | Lk 24:4 |
| Told those with Mary Magdalene: | Lk 24:10 |
| “He has risen, like he said, | Lk 24:6-7 |
| Why look for Life among the dead?” | Lk 24:5 |
| The Scripture Christ interpreted. | Lk 24:13-29 |
| Revealed himself by breaking bread. | Lk 24:30-35 |
| Then the disciples touched him, awed. | Lk 24:36-43 |
| He said they’d preach his life abroad. | Lk 24:44-49 |
| He blessed them, then went in the sky. | Lk 24:50-51 |
| Forever praise the Lord on high. | Lk 24:52-53 |
The Gospel of John Rhymes | |
| Before creation was the Word, | Jn 1:1-2 |
| And through him light and life occurred. | Jn 1:3-4 |
| Before the world, the light was there. | Jn 1:10 |
| But many people do not care. | Jn 1:11 |
| To save us he became a man. | Jn 1:14 |
| Those who believe can join the fam. | Jn 1:12-13 |
| The Father sent a man named John, | Jn 1:6 |
| who saw the Spirit rest upon | Jn 1:32-34 |
| One greater, who has always been: | Jn 1:15 |
| The Lamb of God, who conquers sin. | Jn 1:29 |
| Disciples joined the Christ divine. | Jn 1:35-51 |
| He turned the water into wine. | Jn 2:1-11 |
| Brought temple merchants their demise. | Jn 2:12-17 |
| Predicted he’d be killed and rise. | Jn 2:18-22 |
| Be born of Spirit, from above. | Jn 3:3-6 |
| God sacrificed his son for love. | Jn 3:16-17 |
| We’re judged for doing what’s not right, | Jn 3:19-20 |
| But cleared if we come to the light. | Jn 3:18,21 |
| Then John said as he neared his end: | Jn 3:22-26 |
| “He is the Christ, I’m just a friend.” | Jn 3:27-30 |
| He offered living water free. | Jn 4:10-15 |
| Said food was doing God’s decree. | Jn 4:31-38 |
| He healed a boy from miles away, | Jn 4:46-54 |
| And healed a man on Saturday. | Jn 5:1-18 |
| He’s self-existent, Jesus is. | Jn 5:19-26 |
| Authority to judge is his. | Jn 5:27-30 |
| It’s by the Father he was sent, | Jn 5:31-38 |
| Foretold in the Old Testament. | Jn 5:39-47 |
| Two fish and bread he did transform. | Jn 6:1-15 |
| Then walked on water in a storm. | Jn 6:16-25 |
| Then Jesus said to eat his flesh, | Jn 6:26-59 |
| Which thinned the crowds - the truth will thresh. | Jn 6:60-71 |
| He spoke up halfway through the feast. | Jn 7:6-15 |
| The crowds amazed, but not the priests. | Jn 7:31-32 |
| For glory’s meant for God alone, | Jn 7:16-18 |
| But some men want it for their own. | Jn 7:18-30 |
| From out of Jesus, water flows. | Jn 7:37-39 |
| Forgives, although your sin he knows. | Jn 7:53-8:11 |
 | |
| Again he said he was the light. | Jn 8:12 |
| The Father’s witness proves he’s right. | Jn 8:13-30 |
| Sin captures us in slavery. | Jn 8:34-38 |
| He taught the truth, which sets us free. | Jn 8:31-32 |
| They claimed: men die, like Abraham. | Jn 8:52-57 |
| “Before he was,” Christ said, “I Am.” | Jn 8:58-59 |
| He healed a beggar blind from birth, | Jn 9:1-7 |
| Who testified, “He’s not from earth.” | Jn 9:8-34 |
| He’s the shepherd, we’re the sheep. | Jn 10:11-16 |
| He’s the gate no thief can leap. | Jn 10:7-10 |
| He said then, “God and I are one. | Jn 10:22-30 |
| I do his works. I am his Son.” | Jn 10:32-38 |
| Those who opposed him ranted, raved. | Jn 10:19-21,24,31,39 |
| Across the Jordan, more were saved. | Jn 10:40-42 |
| He paused, for our sakes, then arrived | Jn 11:1-16 |
| Long after Lazarus had died. | Jn 11:17 |
| He called for Mary, up she leapt, | Jn 11:18-31 |
| Fell at his feet, then Jesus wept. | Jn 11:32-35 |
| Went to the tomb, then with a shout, | Jn 11:38-42 |
| He called to Lazarus, “Come out!” | Jn 11:43-44 |
| Though some took miracles as proof, | Jn 11:45-46 |
| The Pharisees went through the roof. | Jn 11:47 |
| So, desperate to hold on to pow’r, | Jn 11:48-52 |
| They planned to kill him from that hour. | Jn 11:53-57 |
| At dinner Mary poured perfume, | Jn 12:1-4 |
| In preparation for the tomb. | Jn 12:7-11 |
| Into Jerusalem he rode, | Jn 12:12,14-16 |
| As on him blessings were bestowed. | Jn 12:13 |
| His heart felt troubled, time had come. | Jn 12:20-27 |
| A voice came down to strengthen some. | Jn 12:28-33 |
| Be careful not to be like those | Jn 12:42-43 |
| Who, man’s praise over God’s, they chose. | |
| To teach them love, he washed their feet. | Jn 13:1-17 |
| Gave his betrayer bread to eat. | Jn 13:18-30 |
| “So love, as you’re loved by the Son. | Jn 13:34-35 |
| Now where I’m going, you can’t come.” | Jn 13:31-33 |
| He said to Peter, who asked why, | Jn 13:36-37 |
| “Just knowing me you’ll soon deny.” | Jn 13:38 |
| “I’m going to prepare a place. | Jn 14:1-4 |
| You’ve seen the Father in my face.” | Jn 14:7-14 |
| “I am the life, the truth, the way. | Jn 14:6 |
| Keep my commands, and in me stay.” | Jn 15:9-10 |
| “You are the branches, I’m the vine. | Jn 15:3-8 |
| The garden’s God’s. What’s his is mine.” | Jn 15:1-2, 16:15 |
| “Though soon I leave, I will be back. | Jn 16:16 |
| You’ll have the Spirit and nothing lack.” | Jn 16:13-14 |
| “So love each other and have peace. | Jn 15:12-17,27-31 |
| The joy you get will never cease.” | Jn 16:22 |
| He gave us life, said what that meant: | Jn 17:1-3 |
| Just knowing God and whom he sent. | |
| He prayed for us, the gloried Son, | Jn 17:6-26 |
| That we’d be holy, safe, and one. | |
| So knowing where they’d be that night, | Jn 18:1-2 |
| Then Judas came prepared to fight. | Jn 18:3 |
| The soldiers fell down to the ground, | Jn 18:4-10 |
| But Jesus let himself be bound, | Jn 18:11-14 |
| Poor Pete, before the cock could crow, | Jn 18:15-18,25-27 |
| Asked if he followed Christ, said “No”. | |
| Then mocked and beaten without ruth, | Jn 18:19-24, 19:1 |
| Christ said, “I only speak the truth”. | Jn 18:33-38 |
| Shown Jesus in a thorny ring, | Jn 19:1-3 |
| They shouted, “Caesar is our king”. | Jn 19:4-15 |
| He spoke while being crucified. | Jn 19:25-27 |
| Said “It is finished,” then he died. | Jn 19:30 |
| All life to prophesy adheres: | Jn 19:24 |
| - They took his clothes as souvenirs | Jn 19:23 |
| - Gave vinegar when his lips dried | Jn 19:28-29 |
| - They broke no bones, but pierced his side | Jn 19:31-37 |
| With aloe, myrrh, and linen clothes, | Jn 19:38-40 |
| Entombed he lie in death’s repose. | Jn 19:41-42 |
| Then Sunday, it was not yet dawn, | Jn 20:1 |
| When Mary found his body gone. | |
| So Peter ran, as Mary grieved. | Jn 20:2-6 |
| Then John went in, and he believed. | Jn 20:7-10 |
| His corpse she wanted to reclaim, | Jn 20:11-15 |
| Till Jesus called her by her name. | Jn 20:16 |
| To the disciples he appeared | Jn 20:17-23 |
| Three times as his departure neared. | Jn 21:1-14 |
| “We’ve seen the Lord!”, their joyous shout. | Jn 20:24-25 |
| But Thomas still was filled with doubt, | |
| Until he touched his hands and side. | Jn 20:26-27 |
| “My Lord, my God!” he then replied. | Jn 20:28-31 |
| Christ said to Peter, “Feed my lambs. | Jn 21:15-19 |
| Don’t worry ‘bout my other plans.” | Jn 21:20-24 |
| If all his actions were unfurled, | Jn 21:25 |
| To write it down would fill the world. | |
 | |
The Acts of the Apostles Rhyme | |
| Don’t worry o’er God’s every plan, | Ac 1:1-7 |
| Just the one he has for you, man. | Ac 1:8-11 |
| The traitor’s gain was fast erased. | Ac 1:15-20 |
| By lot and prayer he was replaced. | Ac 1:21-26 |
| The Spirit came like howling wind. | Ac 2:1-3 |
| They spoke so crowds could comprehend. | Ac 2:4-21 |
| Then Peter preached what God devised: | Ac 2:22-35 |
| To change your heart and be baptized. | Ac 2:36-41 |
| Peter taught, then in Jesus’ name, | |
| Healed a man who since birth was lame. | Ac 3:1-26 |
| Experts said they were a bother. | Ac 4:1-18 |
| Heed not humans, but the Father. | Ac 4:19-22 |
| They prayed to be both brave and wise. | Ac 4:23-31 |
| They grew in faith and strength and size. | Ac 2:42-47 |
| Believers all lived side by side. | Ac 4:32-37 |
| One couple lied to God, then died. | Ac 5:1-11 |
| The Word spread quickly, more believed. | Ac 5:12-14 |
| The sick and vexed were both relieved. | Ac 5:15-16 |
| The high priest jailed them with a smirk. | Ac 5:17-18 |
| God led them out and back to work. | Ac 5:19-25 |
| Confronted by the council still, | Ac 5:26-28 |
| By Pharisees who fought God’s will. | Ac 5:33-39 |
| So Peter testified again, | Ac 5:29-30 |
| To change your heart, repent your sin. | Ac 5:31-32 |
| Then Stephen, picked to dole out food, | Ac 6:1-7 |
| Did speak the word of God when cued. | Ac 6:8-7:53 |
| And as his eyes toward heav’n did reach, | Ac 7:54-56 |
| The council stoned him for his speech. | Ac 7:57-60 |
| Though strewn, the church preached as they went, | Ac 8:2-4 |
| And Philip taught where he was sent. | Ac 8:5-7, 9:26-40 |
| and by the laying on of hands, | Ac 8:14-25 |
| The Spirit came to foreign lands. | Ac 10:17-48 |
| A vision gave St. Pete the nod | |
| Of grace for all who worship God. | Ac 10:1-16 |
| Then James was killed by Herod’s scheme, | Ac 12:1-5 |
| Who died ignoring Elohim. | Ac 12:19-23 |
| Now Saul wreaked havoc on the Way, | Ac 9:1 |
| Till traveling the road one day, | Ac 9:2 |
| When Christ appeared in heav’nly light, | Ac 9:4 |
| He questioned Saul and took his sight. | Ac 9:4-9 |
| To Gentiles, kings and Jews God reached. | Ac 9:10-16 |
| Once chief tormenter, now Paul preached. | Ac 9:17-31 |
| He silenced those preventing growth. | Ac 13:1-12 |
| Explained how Christ fulfilled God’s oath. | Ac 13:13-52 |
| From town to town he preached the news. | Ac 14:1-7, 21-28 |
| Some would accept him, some abuse. | Ac 14:8-20 |
| His team went where the Spirit led | Ac 16:1-10 |
| From riverbank to prison bed. | Ac 16:11-40 |
| Explaining Jesus’ sufferings | Ac 17:1-15 |
| To those who worshipped manmade things. | Ac 17:16-34 |
| In Athens, Corinth, and Achaia, | |
| Scripture proved who was Messiah. | Ac 18:1-28 |
| As God made all who touched Paul cured, | Ac 19:11-12 |
| He stayed two years till all had heard. | Ac 19:8-10 |
| The pattern often was the same: | |
| He’d come to town, spread Jesus’ name, | Ac 20:21 |
| Speak fearlessly in every place, | |
| the gospel of our good God’s grace. | Ac 20:24 |
| Some would believe and get the Spirit. | Ac 19:6 |
| Others though refused to hear it. | Ac 19:23-41 |
| Performing miracles divine, | Ac 19:7-12 |
| He’d comfort Christians, then consign | Ac 20:2 |
| Them to the Lord, and off he’d run | Ac 20:36 |
| To the next town, God’s will be done. | Ac 21:14 |
| And knowing trouble lie ahead, | Ac 20:23 |
| Friends begged “Go somewhere else instead”. | Ac 21:4, 21:12 |
| But God’s will Paul did not resist, | |
| Jerusalem was on the list. | Ac 20:22 |
| The mob, to anger was enticed | Ac 21:30 |
| By those who would deny the Christ. | Ac 21:27-29 |
| Before they could inflict death’s pains, | Ac 21:31 |
| the military came with chains. | Ac 21:32 |
| One last time Paul was arrested. | Ac 21:33 |
| To the crowd he still attested: | Ac 22:1-21 |
| "Christ suffered, died and rose again | |
| To bring light to all girls and men." | Ac 26:23 |
| Four years in jail, his final chapters: | Ac 24:27, 28:30 |
| Transferred, shipwrecked, calmed his captors. | Ac 27:1-44 |
| In Rome, with visits under guard, | Ac 28:16 |
| He preached of God and Christ unmarred. | Ac 28:31 |
| Know this truth in every nation: | |
| God has offered you salvation. | Ac 28:28 |
The Letter to the Romans Rhymes | |
| A servant of the gospel, who | Ro 1:1 |
| Was set apart for Christ, like you. | Ro 1:1,6 |
| While serving sinners far from home | Ro 1:7 |
| Wrote to the saints who live in Rome. | Ro 1:7 |
| Have grace and peace to you from God. | Ro 1:7 |
| Reports of your true faith are broad. | Ro 1:8 |
| I long to see you, comfort each. | Ro 1:11-12 |
| To wise and foolish both I preach. | Ro 1:14-15 |
| The gospel is transformative. | Ro 1:16 |
| By faith the righteous one shall live. | Ro 1:17 |
| God's evidence is every place. | Ro 1:19-20 |
| You'll get his wrath if not his grace. | Ro 1:18 |
| Fools won't give thanks or glorify. | Ro 1:21 |
| They've traded truth in for a lie. | Ro 1:25 |
| To the Creator they won't sing. | Ro 1:25 |
| They worship mere created things. | Ro 1:25 |
| God let them go, pursue their lust, | Ro 1:26 |
| Choose evil and be covetous. | Ro 1:29 |
| They're filled with malice, greed and strife, | Ro 1:29 |
| With words and deeds despairing life. | Ro 1:29-30 |
| They're proud, they brag and cause offense. | Ro 1:30 |
| They have no mercy, love, or sense. | Ro 1:31 |
| And though they know such things aren't right, | Ro 1:32 |
| With those who do them, they delight. | Ro 1:32 |
| But woah, hold up, do not condemn. | Ro 2:1 |
| You've done the wrong thing, just like them. | Ro 2:1 |
| You're not the judge, leave that to God. | Ro 2:3 |
| Toward reformation he does prod. | Ro 2:4 |
| But when his day of wrath does come, | Ro 2:5 |
| He'll give to each for what they've done. | Ro 2:6 |
| Pursue the good and he will bless. | Ro 2:7,10 |
| Choose evil, and get much distress. | Ro 2:8-9 |
| Behavior will not get you in. | Ro 2:12 |
| You know the law, yet still you sin. | Ro 2:21-22 |
| When people see bad things you do | Ro 2:23 |
| God's name is blasphemed 'cause of you. | Ro 2:24 |
| God cares not how your look's arranged. | Ro 2:28 |
| God praises those whose hearts are changed. | Ro 2:29 |
| God's faithfulness 'cross time has stood. | Ro 3:3-4 |
| Law makes us conscious, but not good. | Ro 3:20 |
| For righteousness comes as a gift | Ro 3:21-22 |
| From Christ who heals our fatal rift. | Ro 3:25-26 |
| Because we're equal, none can boast. | Ro 3:27,29-30 |
| Uphold the law with faith foremost. | Ro 3:28,31 |
| What says the past, like Abe and Dave | Ro 4:1,6 |
| About the righteousness God gave? | Ro 4:1 |
| Was it from works, something they earned? | Ro 4:2 |
| No. God forgave them, court adjourned. | Ro 4:3,7 |
| So must you get an outward seal? | Ro 4:9 |
| Again, your actions ain't the deal. | Ro 4:13 |
| It's for his faith Abram was prized. | Ro 4:9 |
| Made righteous first, then circumcised. | Ro 4:11 |
| His offspring's not just those conceived. | Ro 4:16 |
| He's father of all who believe. | Ro 4:16 |
| What's impossible, yet God saith, | Ro 4:19 |
| If you believe, well, that's faith. | Ro 4:20-22 |
| Believe in Jesus, what God did, | Ro 4:24-25 |
| As righteous you'll be credited. | Ro 4:24-25 |
| At peace with God, we now can cope | Ro 5:1,3 |
| With suffering which leads to hope. | Ro 5:3,4 |
| Hope of God's glory from above | Ro 5:2 |
| Because he filled our hearts with love. | Ro 5:5 |
| Self-sacrifice for innocents - | Ro 5:7 |
| Uncomommon, but there's precedents. | Ro 5:7 |
| God's love, though, is unparalleled. | Ro 5:8 |
| He gave his son as we rebelled. | Ro 5:8 |
| Now reconciled, our sentence waived, | Ro 5:9-10 |
| We boast in Him by whom we're saved. | Ro 5:10-11 |
| Just as through Adam death has reigned, | Ro 5:12-19 |
| Through Jesus, righteousness is gained. | Ro 5:12-19 |
| The Law reveals sin's lurking place. | Ro 5:20 |
| In death, sin reigns. In life, it's grace. | Ro 5:21 |
| More sin increases grace, it's true. | Ro 5:20 |
| That doesn't mean it's good to do. | Ro 6:1-2 |
| Through baptism you died to sin | Ro 6:3-4 |
| So that a new life could begin. | Ro 6:4 |
| A life for God, a life controlled | Ro 6:5-22 |
| By righteousness, not by sin's hold. | Ro 6:5-22 |
| Serve by the Spirit, free from Law, | Ro 7:1-6 |
| Though at the flesh sin still may gnaw. | Ro 7:14-26 |
| With God or flesh are you aligned? | Ro 8:5 |
| The answer's where you set your mind. | Ro 8:6 |
| The minds on flesh, sin's all they see. | Ro 8:5 |
| Toward God in constant enmity. | Ro 8:7 |
| The minds on Spirit, as God's heirs, | Ro 8:14-17 |
| They care for what the Spirit cares. | Ro 8:6 |
| Creation all longs to be healed. | Ro 8:20-22 |
| Through us God's glory is revealed. | Ro 8:18-19 |
| We crave redemption in our bones. | Ro 8:23 |
| The Spirit intercedes with groans. | Ro 8:26 |
| Predestined, called, and justified. | Ro 8:30 |
| In Jesus' likeness, glorified. | Ro 8:29-30 |
| If God is for us, who's against? | Ro 8:31 |
| He gave his Son and grace dispensed. | Ro 8:32 |
| God's love stays with us, that's for sure, | Ro 8:35-39 |
| And through it makes us conquerers. | Ro 8:37 |
| By works or birth you cannot tell. | Ro 9:11-12 |
| God's promise makes you Israel. | Ro 9:6-8 |
| He says he'll have compassion on | Ro 9:15 |
| Those whom he'll have compassion on. | Ro 9:15 |
| If God decides to use a man | Ro 9:17 |
| To show his power, well, he can. | Ro 9:17 |
| And if you say, "hey that's not fair", | Ro 9:19 |
| You question God? How do you dare? | Ro 9:20 |
| For he's the potter, we're the clay. | Ro 9:21 |
| He might make vessels to display | Ro 9:22 |
| His power to make his glory known | Ro 9:22-23 |
| To vessels he made for his own. | Ro 9:23 |
| He makes those fall who think they could | Ro 9:30-33 |
| Just work their way to being good. | Ro 9:32 |
| The path is Christ, that stumbling stone. | Ro 9:30-33 |
| You cannot get there on your own. | Ro 9:31 |
| For none knows God who won't confess | Ro 10:3 |
| That Jesus IS God's righteousness. | Ro 10:4 |
| Who calls on his name will be saved. | Ro 10:9 |
| His message on our hearts engraved. | Ro 10:8 |
| Some hear the good news but reject. | Ro 10:16 |
| Hearts hardened unlike the elect. | Ro 11:7 |
| So did they stumble beyond hope? | Ro 11:11 |
| The God of promises says, "Nope". | Ro 11:11 |
| The covenant, like olive tree, | Ro 11:16-17 |
| Can graft into the family | Ro 11:17 |
 | |
| The whole among the human race | Ro 11:17 |
| God chooses by his own good grace. | Ro 11:5 |
| And those cut off can gain relief | Ro 11:23 |
| When they reject their unbelief. | Ro 11:23 |
| Don't be conceited, you got in, | Ro 11:20,25 |
| But not by works avoiding sin. | Ro 11:20-22 |
| In disobedience we fall | Ro 11:32 |
| And God has mercy on us all. | Ro 11:32 |
| The depths of God man has not known. | Ro 11:33 |
| He takes no counsel but his own. | Ro 11:34 |
| To truly worship, Paul's advice | Ro 12:1 |
| Is be a living sacrifice. | Ro 12:1 |
| Do not abide by this world's norm. | Ro 12:2 |
| To know God's will, your mind transform. | Ro 12:2 |
| As different parts, in Christ we dwell. | Ro 12:4-5 |
| Just play your part, and play it well. | Ro 12:3-8 |
| Abhor the evil. Hold the good. | Ro 12:9 |
| Be kind amongst the brotherhood. | Ro 12:10 |
| See others honored before you. | Ro 12:10 |
| Serve God with zeal and fervor too. | Ro 12:11 |
| In hope, rejoice. In trials, endure. | Ro 12:12 |
| That you pray faithfully, ensure. | Ro 12:12 |
| Then share with others what they lack. | Ro 12:13 |
| When someone hurts you, don't hurt back. | Ro 12:14 |
| Now share in sadness, share in joy. | Ro 12:15 |
| Be equals with the hoi polloi. | Ro 12:16 |
| Don't be conceited. Live at peace. | Ro 12:16,18 |
| If vengeance has your hold, release. | Ro 12:19 |
| Though evil fights you, don't succumb. | Ro 12:21 |
| By goodness, evil's overcome. | Ro 12:21 |
| The Lord established government. | Ro 13:1 |
| To its authority, relent. | Ro 13:1-7 |
| Now love your neighbor, do not yaw. | Ro 13:8-10 |
| Love is fulfillment of the Law. | Ro 13:10 |
| Awake! Don't live as if it's night. | Ro 13:11-13 |
| Put on the armor of the light. | Ro 13:12 |
| Don't let your mind be flesh-enticed, | Ro 13:13-14 |
| But clothe yourself with Jesus Christ. | Ro 13:14 |
| Accept the one whose faith is weak. | Ro 14:1 |
| God's servant you shall not critique. | Ro 14:4 |
| While some are shoeless, some are shod, | Ro 14:5-8 |
| And both can walk their walk with God. | Ro 14:6-8 |
| Don't cause your brother's stumblings. | Ro 14:13 |
| Don't argue over minor things. | Ro 14:19 |
| Bear with the failings of the weak. | Ro 15:1 |
| It's not your own pleasure you seek. | Ro 15:1 |
| Build up your neighbor for his good. | Ro 15:2 |
| Praise God together as you should. | Ro 15:5-6 |
| Accept each other, when you do, | Ro 15:7 |
| That's like how Christ accepted you. | Ro 15:7 |
| In service Jesus spent his days | Ro 15:8 |
| That all the world would give God praise. | Ro 15:8-9 |
| And in like manner, Paul was spurred | Ro 15:15-16 |
| To preach to those who had not heard. | Ro 15:16-21 |
| Then as his work was near its end | Ro 15:22-24 |
| He greeted many saints and friends. | Ro 16:1-16 |
| Watch out for those who would cause fights | Ro 16:17 |
| While serving their own appetites. | Ro 16:18 |
| Through Jesus and the news sublime, | Ro 16:25-27 |
| To God be glory all the time. | Ro 16:27 |
The First Letter to the Corinthians Rhymes | |
| To: God's church in Corinth and to all | 1Co 1:2 |
| On whom the name of Jesus call. | 1Co 1:2 |
| From: Sosthenes, and in his scrawl, | 1Co 1:1 |
| with grace and truth, Apostle Paul. | 1Co 1:1,3 |
| You're rich in gifts, filled to the brim. | 1Co 1:5-7 |
| Your strength from fellowship with Him. | 1Co 1:8-9 |
| But are you fighting with your brother? | 1Co 1:11 |
| Have no division with each other. | 1Co 1:10 |
| It doesn't matter who's your preacher. | 1Co 1:12-17 |
| We all are following one Teacher. | 1Co 1:12-17 |
| Our message, foolish to the lost, | 1Co 1:18 |
| To praise a man killed on a cross. | 1Co 1:18 |
| But man's intelligence turns sour. | 1Co 1:19 |
| We know the cross shows God's true power. | 1Co 1:18 |
| It pleases God for recompense | 1Co 1:21 |
| A way the world thinks don't make sense. | 1Co 1:21 |
| The world's made knowledge deified. | 1Co 1:22 |
| But God's wisdom was crucified. | 1Co 1:24 |
| Did God choose you 'cause you were great? | 1Co 1:26 |
| More likely so there's no debate. | 1Co 1:27-29 |
| When you succeed, don't be adored. | 1Co 1:29 |
| Let glory belong to the Lord. | 1Co 1:31 |
| I came in weakness, not with brains. | 1Co 2:1-3 |
| So all your faith in God remains. | 1Co 2:4-5 |
| We value wisdom, just not man's. | 1Co 2:6 |
| The secret wisdom of God's plans. | 1Co 2:7 |
| No eye has seen, no ear has heard | 1Co 2:9 |
| God's plans for those who love his Word. | 1Co 2:9 |
| Revealed by God, we know because | 1Co 2:10 |
| We know because the Spirit does. | 1Co 2:11 |
| It's not by senses we have learned. | 1Co 2:13 |
| These things are spiritually discerned. | 1Co 2:14 |
| But since there's jealousy and strife, | 1Co 3:3 |
| It's clear the flesh still rules your life. | 1Co 3:3 |
| God gave me seeds, told me to sow. | 1Co 3:5-6 |
| But only God can make them grow. | 1Co 3:6-7 |
| Once true foundation has been laid, | 1Co 3:11 |
| Accepting Christ, your debts are paid. | 1Co 3:12 |
| Then what you build, create, or birth - | 1Co 3:12-13 |
| The meaning of your life on earth. | 1Co 3:12-15 |
| Your work pours from your heart's desire, | 1Co 3:13 |
| And Judgment Day's refining fire | 1Co 3:13 |
| Reveals eternal quality, | 1Co 3:13 |
| Or worldly, base frivolity. | 1Co 3:13 |
| So if your work is for the Lord | 1Co 3:14 |
| You will receive a big reward. | 1Co 3:14 |
| But if, when judged, your works combust, | 1Co 3:15 |
| You will be saved, but only just. | 1Co 3:15 |
| A servant, then, is duty-bound, | 1Co 4:1-2 |
| And always must be faithful found. | 1Co 4:1-2 |
| Our mission is not to indict. | 1Co 4:5 |
| The Lord will bring the truth to light. | 1Co 4:5 |
| As motive of each heart surveys, | 1Co 4:5 |
| He'll give, as due, each soul his praise. | 1Co 4:5 |
| What's pride but misattribution? | 1Co 4:6-7 |
| Praising man for God's contribution. | 1Co 4:6-7 |
| You think that you know everything. | 1Co 4:10 |
| Who went and died and made you king? | 1Co 4:8 |
| The world gives Christians no regard. | 1Co 4:11-13 |
| God values what the world discards. | 1Co 4:11-13 |
| You're proud? There's sin. Do you not know? | 1Co 5:1-6 |
| A little yeast works through the dough. | 1Co 5:6 |
| Cast out immoral men and grieve. | 1Co 5:1-2 |
| - I don't mean those who don't believe. | 1Co 5:10 |
| But those inside the brotherhood. | 1Co 5:11 |
| If they love sin, throw out for good. | 1Co 5:11 |
| If Christian One takes Two to court, | 1Co 6:1-6 |
| Does that our claim of peace support? | 1Co 6:1-6 |
| Don't let disputes become prolonged. | 1Co 6:7 |
| Just do the right thing and be wronged. | 1Co 6:7 |
| You once were wicked, but were washed. | 1Co 6:9-11 |
| Make sure all sin in you is squashed. | 1Co 6:12 |
| You're one with Jesus, therefore flee | 1Co 6:17-18 |
| All sexual immorality. | 1Co 6:18 |
| God bought you, and at quite a price | 1Co 6:19-20 |
| Your body isn't meant for vice. | 1Co 6:13,18-20 |
| It's good if you abstain from sex, | 1Co 7:1 |
| And live for God in all respects. | 1Co 7:32-35 |
| But if temptation seems too great, | 1Co 7:5 |
| Let every person find their mate. | 1Co 7:2 |
| So wife to husband, husband-wife, | 1Co 7:3-5 |
| Share bodies like you share your life. | 1Co 7:3-5 |
| No matter what your status is. | 1Co 7:8-40 |
| God called you, now your life is his. | 1Co 7:22-23 |
| The cares of life of most import: | 1Co 7:32,34-35 |
| Keep God's commands - for life is short. | 1Co 7:19,29 |
| Let's take a moment to speak of | 1Co 8:1 |
| What knowledge is compared to love. | 1Co 8:1 |
| While knowledge puffs your chest way out, | 1Co 8:1 |
| Love builds up someone filled with doubt. | 1Co 8:1 |
| Example on which can be chewed | 1Co 8:4 |
| Is idol-designated food. | 1Co 8:4 |
| You know that idols are not real. | 1Co 8:4 |
| But what's a weaker person feel? | 1Co 8:7 |
| They may see you and think it odd. | 1Co 8:10 |
| Unsure if you serve only God. | 1Co 8:10 |
| Your knowledge knows that food is fine. | 1Co 8:8 |
| But Love puts others first in line. | 1Co 8:1 |
| Be careful exercising rights | 1Co 8:9 |
| Does not for others cause more plights. | 1Co 8:9 |
| Now preachers have a right to pay. | 1Co 9:1-14 |
| But blessed if they preach anyway. | 1Co 9:15-23 |
| While athletes win a prize that rots, | 1Co 9:24-25 |
| Eternal life with God does not. | 1Co 9:25 |
| Know there are people God has saved, | 1Co 10:1-4 |
| But does not like how they behaved. | 1Co 10:5 |
| 'Cause they love idols, booze, and sex, | 1Co 10:7-8 |
| Complain about how God directs. | 1Co 10:10 |
| From them you see what not to do. | 1Co 10:11 |
| Look out for traps to fall into. | 1Co 10:12 |
| Though tempted by the flesh's sway, | 1Co 10:13 |
| Seek God and you can get away. | 1Co 10:13 |
| Flee idols and avoid their feasts. | 1Co 10:14,18 |
| Do not join demons with God's priests. | 1Co 10:20 |
| We have such freedom, all is God's. | 1Co 10:23-26 |
| All is permitted that him lauds. | 1Co 10:23,30 |
| The question ain't "Is this allowed" | 1Co 10:23 |
| But "Is it loving?", as you've vowed. | 1Co 10:24,32 |
| Keep customs of propriety. | 1Co 11:2-16 |
| Keep union and sobriety. | 1Co 11:17-22 |
| When you commune as one big church, | 1Co 11:17-34 |
| Be earnest as your heart you search. | 1Co 11:27-28 |
| The Spirit has not any rifts. | 1Co 12:3 |
| There is one God, but many gifts. | 1Co 12:4-6 |
| Like wisdom, knowledge, mighty deeds. | 1Co 12:8,10 |
| Like prophesy, the faith one needs, | 1Co 12:9-10 |
| Discerning spirits, healing pain, | 1Co 12:9-10 |
| To speak in tongues, or to explain. | 1Co 12:10 |
| The Spirit works as he decides, | 1Co 12:11 |
| Through Christians in whom he abides. | 1Co 12:11 |
| You're in the body, not in charge. | 1Co 12:13 |
| Don't worry if your part is large. | 1Co 12:15-17 |
| Each part has its own part to play | 1Co 12:21-22,27 |
| 'Cause God arranged it that-a-way. | 1Co 12:18 |
| What God has joined let no one split. | 1Co 12:25 |
| Share pain and joy when you're close knit. | 1Co 12:25-26 |
| Yet with all gifts from up above, | 1Co 13:1-3 |
| You still gain nothing without love. | 1Co 13:1-3 |
| Love is patient, love is kind. | 1Co 13:4 |
| Your past mistakes it does not find. | 1Co 13:5 |
| Love protects and perseveres. | 1Co 13:7 |
| It trusts and hopes, with truth it cheers. | 1Co 13:6-7 |
| Love does not seek itself the most. | 1Co 13:5 |
| It does not envy, does not boast. | 1Co 13:4 |
| Love never fails, is not provoked. | 1Co 13:5,8 |
| It does not need its ego stroked. | 1Co 13:4 |
| When all is known, we see the scope. | 1Co 13:8-12 |
| These three remain: faith, love, and hope. | 1Co 13:13 |
| To speak in tongues, to God you cry, | 1Co 14:2 |
| But prophesy will edify. | 1Co 14:3 |
| All sorts of tumult you must cease. | 1Co 14:6-40 |
| For God brings order, God brings peace. | 1Co 14:33 |
| Now don't lose sight of the main point. | 1Co 15:1-2 |
| Just as foretold, God did anoint | 1Co 15:3 |
| The Christ to die and be revived. | 1Co 15:4 |
| Appeared to hundreds now alive. | 1Co 15:5-7 |
| If this were not true, we'd be toast, | 1Co 15:4 |
| And Christians would be pitied most. | 1Co 15:5-7 |
| This life, if that's it, one might think | 1Co 15:32 |
| Let's party now, just eat and drink. | 1Co 15:32 |
| Don't be misled, bad company | 1Co 15:33 |
| Corrupts good character in thee. | 1Co 15:33 |
| For as in Adam none survive, | 1Co 15:22 |
| The risen Christ makes all alive. | 1Co 15:22 |
| The physical is made from earth, | 1Co 15:45-47 |
| And it has no immortal worth. | 1Co 15:50 |
| To live forever we must wear | 1Co 15:45-55 |
| The clothes of heaven Christ prepared. | 1Co 15:45-55 |
| Stand firm and never go astray. | 1Co 15:58 |
| Work for the Lord will always pay. | 1Co 15:58 |
| Collection for the saints who lead. | 1Co 16:1-3 |
| Protection for the servant, heed. | 1Co 16:10-11 |
| Stay strong, stand firm, and be on guard. | 1Co 16:13 |
| Have courage, and love when it's hard. | 1Co 16:13-14 |
| Devoted ministers are prized. | 1Co 16:15-16 |
| Such servants should be recognized. | 1Co 16:17-18 |
| All those who hate the Lord, dismiss. | 1Co 16:22 |
| Believers greet with sacred kiss. | 1Co 16:20 |
The Second Letter to the Corinthians Rhymes | |
| Corinthians, again Paul wrote, | 2Co 1:1 |
| And all the saints who read this note, | 2Co 1:1 |
| Praise God who comforts each of us | 2Co 1:2-4 |
| So that to others we're a plus. | 2Co 1:4 |
| In comfort or in great despair, | 2Co 1: 5-8 |
| As one in Christ all things we share. | 2Co 1: 5-8 |
| Let's not upon ourselves rely, | 2Co 1:9 |
| But set our hope on God on high. | 2Co 1:9-10 |
| Act always with sincerity. | 2Co 1:12 |
| Anoint your heart with charity. | 2Co 1:21-24 |
| Now when correcting one another, | 2Co 2:5-6 |
| Forgive, do not use shame to smother. | 2Co 2: 7-11 |
| The news of Christ, like fragrant breath, | 2Co 2:14 |
| Of life to some, to others death. | 2Co 2:15-16 |
| The only accolade you need | 2Co 3:1-3 |
| Is Spirit in the hearts you feed. | 2Co 3:1-3 |
| The Law was written down in stone, | 2Co 3:7 |
| And through the Law God's glory shone. | 2Co 3:7 |
| And while the Law from heaven stems, | 2Co 3:7 |
| The letter of the Law condemns. | 2Co 3:6 |
| So how much more is glory rife | 2Co 3:8-9 |
| In ministry that brings true life? | 2Co 3:6,9 |
| The old was good, the new is best. | 2Co 3:9 |
| New covenant brings righteousness. | 2Co 3:9-11 |
| For through the veil, none has sufficed. | 2Co 3:13-15 |
| The only way is Jesus Christ. | 2Co 3:14,16 |
| Turn to the Lord, get liberty, | 2Co 3:16-17 |
| And unveiled glory you shall see. | 2Co 3:18 |
| We speak the truth, with God aligned. | 2Co 4:2 |
| Some do not get it 'cause they're blind. | 2Co 4:3-4 |
| The one who said, "Let there be light", | 2Co 4:6 |
| Shines on your heart to give you sight. | 2Co 4:6 |
| It's not from us, mere jars of clay, | 2Co 4:7 |
| But through us God his pow'r displays. | 2Co 4:7 |
| When trouble comes, he's there to guide. | 2Co 4:8-9 |
| When death is near, life he provides. | 2Co 4:10-12 |
| So don't give up though flesh decays, | 2Co 4:16 |
| Our true selves are renewed each day. | 2Co 4:16 |
| Our troubles, tiny, when compared | 2Co 4:17 |
| To future glory God's prepared. | 2Co 4:17 |
| The things you see will fade real fast. | 2Co 4:18 |
| The unseen are the things that last. | 2Co 4:18 |
| We're burdened by this flesh and bone, | 2Co 5:4 |
| For our eternal form we groan. | 2Co 5:1-4 |
| The Spirit is our guarantee. | 2Co 5:5 |
| We walk by faith, not what we see. | 2Co 5:7 |
| We'd rather be at home with God. | 2Co 5:8 |
| We work for his approving nod. | 2Co 5:9-10 |
| We fear the Lord. Men we persuade | 2Co 5:11 |
| To live for God, not accolade. | 2Co 5:12-15 |
| We see not flesh when we see you. | 2Co 5:16 |
| Once you're in Christ, you're something new. | 2Co 5:17 |
| Christ paid for sin, though undefiled. | 2Co 5:21 |
| God's calling you, be reconciled. | 2Co 5:18-20 |
| Don't waste his grace, for once you vow | 2Co 6:1 |
| To live for God, the time is now. | 2Co 6:2 |
| Now don't do anything that would | 2Co 6:3 |
| Make church seem anything but good. | 2Co 6:3 |
| When hit with troubles or distressed, | 2Co 6:4 |
| Show with what guidance you've been blessed. | 2Co 6:4 |
| If you are beaten, jailed or robbed, | 2Co 6:5 |
| Return just kindness to the mob. | 2Co 6:6 |
| When weary, hungry, do not fear, | 2Co 6:5 |
| You have the Holy Spirit near. | 2Co 6:6 |
| You've been made righteous, truly speak | 2Co 6:7 |
| Through glory or in harsh critique. | 2Co 6:8 |
| No matter what, be rejoicing. | 2Co 6:9-10 |
| In God you now have everything. | 2Co 6:10 |
| Don't partner with the faithless souls | 2Co 6:14 |
| Who've different gods and different goals. | 2Co 6:15 |
| "Be set apart. Don't be defiled. | 2Co 6:17 |
| I'll be your God, and you my child." | 2Co 6:16,18 |
| With godly sorrow, no regret. | 2Co 7:10 |
| Repentence and life better yet. | 2Co 7:10 |
| But worldly sorrow does not mend. | 2Co 7:10 |
| Its path to death leads in the end. | 2Co 7:10 |
| Then next Paul wrote on how to give. | 2Co 8:1-4 |
| First to the Lord, with how you live. | 2Co 8:5 |
| Then by your means, with willing mind. | 2Co 8:12 |
| When heart is right, the gift is fine. | 2Co 8:12 |
| It's privilege to serve this way. | 2Co 8:4 |
| Help others, you'll be helped one day. | 2Co 8:14 |
| Have much, but don't get out of whack, | 2Co 8:15 |
| and those with little shall not lack. | 2Co 8:15 |
| Be generous, get back a lot. | 2Co 9:6 |
| Sow sparingly, get diddlly squat. | 2Co 9:6 |
| Give from the heart, not doubt or fear. | 2Co 9:7 |
| God loves it when you give with cheer. | 2Co 9:7 |
| All grace and needs God has purveyed | 2Co 9:8 |
| To do the work for which you're made. | 2Co 9:8 |
| He'll swell the harvest of your ways. | 2Co 9:10-11 |
| Then you give more, he gets more praise. | 2Co 9:11-13 |
| We fight not for this earthen clod. | 2Co 10:3-4 |
| We fight ideas that deny God. | 2Co 10:5 |
| Don't be like those who are not wise, | 2Co 10:12 |
| Who think they're great in their own eyes. | 2Co 10:2 |
| Don't boast for credit that's undue. | 2Co 10:13-16 |
| Boast of the purpose God gave you. | 2Co 10:13-14 |
| False prophets might create a buzz | 2Co 11:3-4 |
| The way the Adversary does. | 2Co 11:13-15 |
| For they beguile, corrupt, and bend, | 2Co 11:3-4 |
| But get what's fitting in the end. | 2Co 11:15 |
| No matter how your strength may tower, | 2Co 11:16-12:6 |
| In weakness God shows his true power. | 2Co 12:9 |
| In weakness Christ was crucified, | 2Co 13:4 |
| But by God's power, he's alive. | 2Co 13:4 |
| And this same power is in you, | 2Co 13:5 |
| If you're in Christ, your faith is true. | 2Co 13:5 |
| Rely on Jesus, do no wrong. | 2Co 13:7 |
| When I am weak, then I am strong. | 2Co 12:10 |
| So be made perfect, of one mind. | 2Co 13:11 |
| Have peace and cheer and comfort find. | 2Co 13:11 |
| Have love for God. From Jesus, grace. | 2Co 13:14 |
| And Spirit in a close embrace. | 2Co 13:14 |
The Letter to the Galatians Rhymes | |
| Believers, wrote Apostle Paul, | Ga 1:1 |
| I'm shocked how quickly you would fall. | Ga 1:6 |
| Away from truth, the only one | Ga 1:9 |
| Revealed by Jesus Christ the Son. | Ga 1:12 |
| For men's approval, do not ask. | Ga 1:16 |
| For God perform your holy task. | Ga 2:7-8 |
| Those who love God will give him praise | Ga 1:24 |
| For enemies who change their ways. | Ga 1:23 |
| The pillars Peter, John and James | Ga 2:9 |
| Accepted Paul who grace proclaims. | Ga 2:9 |
| Though Paul opposed Saint Peter when | Ga 2:11 |
| He added rules, was scared of men. | Ga 2:12-14 |
| By rules no one is justified. | Ga 2:16 |
| Instead by Christ the crucified. | Ga 2:16 |
| I died with him, no longer lawed. | Ga 2:20 |
| I died that I might live with God. | Ga 2:21 |
| Now answer this and don't be fools: | Ga 3:1-3 |
| The Spirit comes by faith or rules? | Ga 3:3-5 |
| It's faith, and always has been too. | Ga 3:14 |
| "All nations will be blessed through you." | Ga 3:8 |
| This promise Abraham received. | Ga 3:9 |
| His kids would be those who believed. | Ga 3:7 |
| Relying on the law, you're cursed. | Ga 3:10 |
| Law comes from sin, and faith came first. | Ga 3:19 |
| God promised, "You shall have these lands". | Ga 3:18 |
| Years later came the Ten Commands. | Ga 3:17 |
| By sin the world is overrun. | Ga 3:22 |
| Get life, by faith, in Holy One. | Ga 3:22 |
| Once you belong to Christ, then there | Ga 3:29 |
| You are a son of God, an heir. | Ga 3:26-29 |
| An heir, with rights which that imparts. | Ga 4:5 |
| With Spirit living in your hearts. | Ga 4:6 |
| So don't go back, don't be enslaved | Ga 4:9 |
| by rituals your old self craved. | Ga 4:9 |
| You're known by God, serve him always. | Ga 4:9 |
| Not just on special hours or days. | Ga 4:10 |
| Should you be zealous? Yes you should. | Ga 4:17-18 |
| Provided that the cause is good. | Ga 4:17-18 |
| Hagar and Sarah represent | Ga 4:24 |
| Two different kinds of covenant. | Ga 4:24 |
| One is earth-bound slavery. | Ga 4:25 |
| The other Promise, Heaven, Free. | Ga 4:26-28 |
| Messiah freed you. Stand firm then. | Ga 5:1 |
| Don't be enslaved by rules again. | Ga 5:1 |
| If righteousness by rules you chase, | Ga 5:4 |
| You lose the righteousness from grace. | Ga 5:4 |
| Awaiting our hope from above, | Ga 5:5 |
| All that counts is faith shown by love. | Ga 5:6 |
| Your freedom lets you start afresh. | Ga 5:13 |
| Don't use it to indulge the flesh. | Ga 5:13 |
| Just love your neighbor every day. | Ga 5:14 |
| That's all the Law means anyway. | Ga 5:14 |
| The flesh and Spirit are opposed. | Ga 5:17 |
| Choose one, the other is deposed. | Ga 5:16 |
| Pursue the Spirit, you won't pine | Ga 5:16 |
| For things which you were not designed. | Ga 5:16 |
| Like drunkenness, debauchery, | Ga 5:19,21 |
| Nor hatred and idolatry. | Ga 5:20 |
| Not lewdness, envy, fits of rage. | Ga 5:19-21 |
| It is the flesh these things engage. | Ga 5:19 |
| Pursue the Spirit, what ensues | Ga 5:22 |
| Is love, joy, peace, and patience too. | Ga 5:22 |
| And kindness, goodness, self-control. | Ga 5:22-23 |
| Those are results, God is the goal. | Ga 5:24 |
| Walk with the Spirit, don't be vain. | Ga 5:25-26 |
| Restore each other, don't arraign. | Ga 6:1-2 |
| Think of the flesh, you'll be destroyed. | Ga 6:7-8 |
| Of God, then life with Him enjoyed. | Ga 6:7-8 |
| Those dwelling on rules to obey | Ga 6:12 |
| And keep them all. Just ask: do they? | Ga 6:13 |
| They only do this to avoid | Ga 6:12-13 |
| The hate toward Christ that's been deployed. | Ga 6:12 |
| I boast of one thing, Jesus Christ, | Ga 6:14 |
| Whose grace and mercy have sufficed | Ga 6:18 |
| To add unto his repetoire - | Ga 1:4 |
| The new creation that you are. | Ga 6:15 |
The Letter to the Ephesians Rhymes | |
 | |
| Peace to the saints in Ephesus. | Eph 1:1-2 |
| Praise to the God who blesses us. | Eph 1:3 |
| He chose us, then came to redeem, | Eph 1:4-7 |
| Revealed the plan of Christ's regime. | Eph 1:9-10 |
| All things work out to His ideal. | Eph 1:11 |
| He gave the Spirit as a seal. | Eph 1:13 |
| May you know God, now, more and more. | Eph 1:17 |
| The hope for you he has in store. | Eph 1:18 |
| God's power raised Christ from the dead | Eph 1:19-20 |
| And placed him as the church's head. | Eph 1:20-23 |
| We each have walked a sinful path | Eph 2:1-3 |
| And for our deeds deserve God's wrath. | Eph 2:3 |
| Yet still he saved a hopeless case | Eph 2:4-6 |
| To show the riches of his grace. | Eph 2:7 |
| A gift, there's nothing you can do, | Eph 2:8-9 |
| Although he has work planned for you. | Eph 2:10 |
| By peace with all believers, gel. | Eph 2:13-17 |
| Together in you God will dwell. | Eph 2:18-22 |
| All tribes of humans, unified | Eph 3:6-12 |
| Can know Christ's love, so deep and wide. | Eph 3:16-19 |
| Now live a life that's worthy of | Eph 4:1 |
| This calling. You've been called to love. | Eph 4:1-2 |
| With patience and humility, | Eph 4:2 |
| In bonds of peace, keep unity. | Eph 4:3 |
| One God, one Spirit, and one Lord. | Eph 4:4-6 |
| One body acting in accord. | Eph 4:4 |
| One body filled with many gifts | Eph 4:4-11 |
| That isn't fooled and never drifts. | Eph 4:14 |
| But being true to love instead, | Eph 4:15 |
| We grow to Christ, who is the Head. | Eph 4:15 |
| Live not like those whom sin confounds, | Eph 4:17-18 |
| Whose lust for sex, it knows no bounds. | Eph 4:19 |
| The old is gone, your mind is new. | Eph 4:20-24 |
| Holy and righteous God made you. | Eph 4:24 |
| Don't lie, or even talk corrupt. | Eph 4:25-29 |
| Use words to build another up. | Eph 4:29 |
| Don't steal. Help your community. | Eph 4:28 |
| Give Hell no opportunity. | Eph 4:27 |
| And when you're angry, don't choose bad. | Eph 4:26 |
| Don't make the Holy Spirit sad. | Eph 4:30 |
| No malice, fighting, bitter rage. | Eph 4:31 |
| Be kind - Forgive as Christ forgave. | Eph 4:32 |
| So follow God. Love others thus: | Eph 5:1-2 |
| As Jesus gave himself for us. | Eph 5:2 |
| Avoid filth and obscenity. | Eph 5:3-4 |
| You're saints. Those are idolatry. | Eph 5:3-5 |
| To worship sex or greed ain't right. | Eph 5:5 |
| Once you were darkness. Now you're light. | Eph 5:8 |
| The light shows what is good, right, true. | Eph 5:9-10 |
| Rise from the dead, Christ shines on you. | Eph 5:14 |
| Live wisely, make the most of time. | Eph 5:15-16 |
| Not dissolute with too much wine. | Eph 5:18 |
| Filled with the Spirit, singing songs | Eph 5:18-19 |
| That praise God. Thank him all day long. | Eph 5:19-20 |
| Now to each other, each submit, | Eph 5:21 |
| As reverence for the Lord befits. | Eph 5:21 |
| Submit, then, to authority, | Eph 5:22-24, 6:1,5 |
| With God as your priority. | Eph 5:22-24, 6:5-7 |
| In leadership, now, God's way search. | Eph 5:25-33, 6:4,9 |
| Love charges like Christ loves the church. | Eph 5:25-33, 6:4,9 |
| In God and in his pow'r, be strong, | Eph 6:10 |
| So you can fight against what's wrong. | Eph 6:11 |
| It's not with people that we fight, | Eph 6:12 |
| But with the rulers of the night. | Eph 6:12 |
| Put on God's armor, his command, | Eph 6:13 |
| To fight the evil, then to stand. | Eph 6:13 |
| The belt of truth around your waist. | Eph 6:14 |
| In front of you, the shield of faith. | Eph 6:16 |
| With righteousness across you spread, | Eph 6:14 |
| And with salvation on your head. | Eph 6:17 |
| With news of peace may you be shod. | Eph 6:15 |
| Your sword, it is the Word of God. | Eph 6:17 |
| With perseverance, always pray. | Eph 6:18 |
| With grace and love along the way. | Eph 6:23-24 |
The Letter to the Philippians Rhymes | |
| Here Paul and Timothy say Hi | Ph 1:1-2 |
| To all the saints in Philippi. | Ph 1:1 |
| I thank God in my prayers for you. | Ph 1:3-4 |
| To spread the good news as you do. | Ph 1:5-6 |
| By love may your good judgment grow, | Ph 1:9-10 |
| So from you righteous fruit may flow. | Ph 1:11 |
| In chains or freedom we will preach | Ph 1:12-14 |
| Whatever grows the gospel's reach. | Ph 1:14-18 |
| In heaven or on earth remain, | Ph 1:22-26 |
| To live is Christ, to die is gain. | Ph 1:21 |
| Be worthy. Fear not. Realize | Ph 1:27-28 |
| To suffer for him is a prize. | Ph 1:29-30 |
| If you feel God's love in your soul | Ph 2:1 |
| Then work together toward the goal. | Ph 2:2 |
| Don't act from rivalry or pride. | Ph 2:3 |
| With others' needs, be occupied. | Ph 2:4 |
| It's as a servant Jesus came, | Ph 2:5-8 |
| Though every knee bows to his name. | Ph 2:9-11 |
| Salvation - work yours out with fear, | Ph 2:12 |
| With God inside to make things clear. | Ph 2:13 |
| Live out your life here blamelessly. | Ph 2:14-15 |
| A light for all the world to see. | Ph 2:15-16 |
| My deeds I now count meaningless, | Ph 3:4-8 |
| For only faith brings righteousness. | Ph 3:9 |
| And though I do not have it yet, | Ph 3:10-13 |
| God's prize pursue, the past forget. | Ph 3:13-14 |
| So follow those who live this way, | Ph 3:16-17 |
| Not those who earthly things obey. | Ph 3:18-19 |
| Our hope is in the splendorous | Ph 3:20 |
| Where Jesus will transfigure us. | Ph 3:21 |
| Beloved, stand firm in the Lord. | Ph 4:1 |
| Help others live in one accord. | Ph 4:2-3 |
| Rejoice all day. In all, forbear. | Ph 4:4-5 |
| Don't worry. Kneel to God in prayer. | Ph 4:6 |
| With thankfulness, ask and release, | Ph 4:6 |
| and you'll get transcendental peace. | Ph 4:7 |
| Now think of good things of the light, | Ph 4:8 |
| What's pure and lovely, true and right. | Ph 4:8 |
| Make what I've shown the thing you do. | Ph 4:9 |
| The God of peace will be with you. | Ph 4:9 |
| When times are great or things are rough, | Ph 4:11-12 |
| With Jesus I'll have strength enough. | Ph 4:13 |
| Thanks for your help, it helped indeed. | Ph 4:10-18 |
| The Lord will give you all you need. | Ph 4:19 |
| To God the glory. Friends, we call. | Ph 4:20-22 |
| The grace of Christ is with you all. | Ph 4:23 |
The Letter to the Colossians Rhymes | |
| To all the saints in Colossae, | Col 1:2 |
| We thank God for you when we pray. | Col 1:3 |
| For of your faith and love we've heard, | Col 1:4 |
| Which comes from hope, sprung from the Word. | Col 1:5 |
| Good news bears fruit across the land. | Col 1:6 |
| We pray you'll fully understand. | Col 1:9 |
| That you may walk a worthy route | Col 1:10 |
| That pleases God and bears good fruit. | Col 1:10 |
| With joy show patience by his might. | Col 1:11 |
| He gave us places in the light. | Col 1:12 |
| He saves us from the dark domain | Col 1:13 |
| And brought us into Jesus' reign. | Col 1:13 |
| Creation all by him was made | Col 1:16 |
| And in him everything has stayed. | Col 1:17 |
| Of the assembly, he's the head. | Col 1:18 |
| To reconcile, his blood was shed. | Col 1:20 |
| Though once from God you were estranged, | Col 1:21 |
| By faith and Christ's death you were changed. | Col 1:22-23 |
| Called to explain the mystery | Col 1:25 |
| Once hidden, now for saints to see. | Col 1:26 |
| Our hope of glory breaking through. | Col 1:27 |
| The mystery is: Christ lives in you. | Col 1:27 |
| So walk with him in faith that grows | Col 2:6 |
| And thankfulness that overflows. | Col 2:7 |
| Don't fall for vain philosophy. | Col 2:8 |
| In Christ dwells the full Deity. | Col 2:9 |
| He cut the sinful flesh from you. | Col 2:11 |
| He gave you life and fullness too. | Col 2:10 |
| Mere human ways that may sound smart | Col 2:16-22 |
| Are empty and don't change the heart. | Col 2:23 |
| You died, and then with Christ were raised. | Col 3:1-3 |
| So think of things that will be praised. | Col 3:1 |
| Not earthly things that you don't need | Col 3:2,5 |
| Like evil passions, lust, and greed. | Col 3:5 |
| Don't be these idols' devotees. | Col 3:5 |
| For God's wrath comes because of these. | Col 3:6 |
| Your life, these ways, once did include. | Col 3:7 |
| The old is gone. You've been renewed. | Col 3:9-10 |
| Once anger - show compassion now. | Col 3:8,12 |
| Quit rage for kindness - Christ is how. | Col 3:8,12 |
| No malice, but humility. | Col 3:8,12 |
| No slander; gentleness from thee. | Col 3:8,12 |
| No shameful speaking. No deceit. | Col 3:8-9 |
| But at forgiveness, be elite. | Col 3:13 |
| And walk in love, which binds it all, | Col 3:14 |
| With hearts of peace as you were called. | Col 3:15 |
| So teach and share with Christ imbued. | Col 3:16 |
| And sing to God with gratitude. | Col 3:16-17 |
| Support your husbands. Love your wives. | Col 3:18-19 |
| Obey your parents. Help kids' lives. | Col 3:20-21 |
| Heed those for whom you have to work. | Col 3:22 |
| If you're in charge, don't be a jerk. | Col 4:1 |
| Let all your work be for the Lord. | Col 3:23 |
| Inheritance is your reward. | Col 3:24 |
| In prayer, be watchful. Pray for us. | Col 4:2-3 |
| That I preach clearly, as I must. | Col 4:4 |
| Reach unbelievers, don't delay. | Col 4:5 |
| Speak grace, so you know what to say. | Col 4:6 |
| Paul said, then, as he bid adieu, | Col 4:7-16 |
| Complete the work God gave to you. | Col 4:17 |
The First Letter to the Thessalonians Rhymes | |
| Hey friends, wrote Silas, Tim, and Paul, | 1Th 1:1 |
| We miss you, thank God for you all. | 1Th 1:2 |
| In prayer we all speak fondly of | 1Th 1:3 |
| your hard work from faith, hope and love. | 1Th 1:3 |
| We know our God has chosen you | 1Th 1:4 |
| For with your faith came power too. | 1Th 1:5 |
| We follow God, you model us, | 1Th 1:6 |
| Now everywhere your faith's discussed. | 1Th 1:7-8 |
| You turned so God your life extols | 1Th 1:9 |
| And wait for Christ who saves our souls. | 1Th 1:10 |
| We preached not to earn praise from men, | 1Th 2:4 |
| But to please God, for love, children. | 1Th 2:4-8 |
| For love, with you we shared our lives. | 1Th 2:8 |
| From love encouragement derives. | 1Th 2:12 |
| You gained the true and living Word. | 1Th 2:13 |
| By hostile men you're undeterred. | 1Th 2:14-16 |
| For why should Christ give us renown? | 1Th 2:19 |
| For you. You are our joy and crown. | 1Th 2:19-20 |
 | |
| We can feel joy enduring wrong | 1Th 3:7-9 |
| Because we hear your faith is strong. | 1Th 3:7-9 |
| Live all your life for God to please, | 1Th 4:1 |
| Not physical impurities. | 1Th 4:3-7 |
| By love and hard work win respect | 1Th 4:9-10 |
| As outsiders your life inspect. | 1Th 4:11-12 |
| Don't grieve like those who have no hope. | 1Th 4:13 |
| For death is not beyond God's scope. | 1Th 4:14 |
| Into the sky the saved ascend | 1Th 4:15-17 |
| To be with God, time without end. | 1Th 4:17 |
| That day will come as a surprise, | 1Th 5:2-3 |
| But not to those alert and wise. | 1Th 5:4-6 |
| Redeemed, we belong to the day. | 1Th 5:5 |
| Be self-controlled, don't go astray. | 1Th 5:6-7 |
| Put on the armor from above. | 1Th 5:8 |
| Prepare to live with faith, hope, love. | 1Th 5:8 |
| God chose you not to suffer wrath | 1Th 5:9 |
| But for salvation on your path. | 1Th 5:9 |
| He died for us, that we may live. | 1Th 5:10 |
| Encouragement each other give. | 1Th 5:11 |
| Respect church leaders, live in peace, | 1Th 5:12-13 |
| And warn the idle, help the weak. | 1Th 5:14 |
| Encourage people overrun. | 1Th 5:14 |
| Be patient now with everyone. | 1Th 5:14 |
| Don't let revenge creep in your mind. | 1Th 5:15 |
| To all God's children, you be kind. | 1Th 5:15 |
| Live every moment joyfully, | 1Th 5:16 |
| In talks with God continually. | 1Th 5:17 |
| Give thanks in every circumstance. | 1Th 5:18 |
| God's will for you is to advance. | 1Th 5:18 |
| Stand tall for all the Spirit would. | 1Th 5:19 |
| Test everything and hold the good. | 1Th 5:21 |
| God sanctify you through and through. | 1Th 5:23 |
| He's faithful, he will do it too. | 1Th 5:24 |
The Second Letter to the Thessalonians Rhymes | |
| When writing to the church again | 2Th 1:1 |
| Which Paul did with his hand and pen | 2Th 3:17 |
| He said "We ought thank God for you. | 2Th 1:3 |
| Your faith has grown, your love has too. | 2Th 1:3 |
| We brag of your tenacity, | 2Th 1:4 |
| A model for the church to see. | 2Th 1:4 |
| You suffer now, but God is just. | 2Th 1:5-6 |
| Reprisals all to him entrust. | 2Th 1:6-7 |
| Those who don't know him, then destroyed. | 2Th 1:8-9 |
| Cast from his presence to the void. | 2Th 1:9 |
| With this same pow'r He can fulfill | 2Th 1:11 |
| All good you wish to do until | 2Th 1:11 |
| When he comes back in fire such that | 2Th 1:7 |
| His glory shall be marveled at. | 2Th 1:10 |
| Before that time Christ comes again | 2Th 2:1 |
| And gathers us all up with him, | 2Th 2:1 |
| Don't be deceived, though fate is sealed, | 2Th 2:3,8 |
| The man of sin will be revealed. | 2Th 2:3 |
| He will gain power, raised up high, | 2Th 2:3-4 |
| And then he'll claim he's El Shaddai. | 2Th 2:4 |
| With miracles he will deceive | 2Th 2:9-10 |
| The wicked who just won't believe. | 2Th 2:10-12 |
| But you, oh Thessalonian | 2Th 2:13 |
| Believe in truth aeonian. | 2Th 2:13 |
| God chose you, loved you, saved you too. | 2Th 2:13 |
| May he encourage all you do. | 2Th 2:16-17 |
| Now pray for us, God's message grow, | 2Th 3:1 |
| That we'll be safe from evil foe. | 2Th 3:2 |
| Avoid the brothers who won't work, | 2Th 3:6 |
| Who will not toil but want the perks. | 2Th 3:10 |
| Keep doing actions right and pure. | 2Th 3:13 |
| Like God, show love. Like Christ, endure. | 2Th 3:5 |
The First Letter to Timothy Rhymes | |
| Paul wrote to Timothy, "My son, | 1Tim 1:1-2 |
| Stick to the work you have begun. | 1Tim 1:2 |
| To silence senseless teachers who | 1Tim 1:3-7 |
| Do not build faith but misconstrue | 1Tim 1:4-7 |
| The law, not for the righteous, but | 1Tim 1:9 |
| The wayward who don't know what's what. | 1Tim 1:9-11 |
| I once did evil, awful things, | 1Tim 1:13 |
| But given grace by King of Kings. | 1Tim 1:14 |
| You can accept this word is true: | 1Tim 1:15 |
| If he took me, then he'll take you. | 1Tim 1:15-16 |
| So fight the good fight. Pray for all. | 1Tim 1:18-19,2:1 |
| To teach the full truth is my call. | 1Tim 2:4-7 |
| Lift up not anger, men, but prayer. | 1Tim 2:8 |
| And women, prize good deeds, not hair. | 1Tim 2:9-10 |
| It's great if someone wants to lead. | 1Tim 3:1 |
| Make sure they have the traits they need. | 1Tim 3:2 |
| They must be gentle, self-controlled, | 1Tim 3:2-3 |
| Not drunkards or in love with gold. | 1Tim 3:3 |
| Hospitable, not prone to strife. | 1Tim 3:2-3 |
| A husband faithful to his wife. | 1Tim 3:12 |
| A reputation unbesmirched. | 1Tim 3:7 |
| One must lead well to lead the church. | 1Tim 3:4-5 |
| But don't add rules to be obeyed. | 1Tim 4:1-3 |
| For all is good that God has made. | 1Tim 4:4 |
| To teach this way you will be wise. | 1Tim 4:6 |
| Make godliness an exercise. | 1Tim 4:7-8 |
| With God as your security, | 1Tim 4:10 |
| A pattern be, of purity, | 1Tim 4:12 |
| Of how to love and how to talk, | 1Tim 4:12 |
| Believing true and how to walk. | 1Tim 4:12 |
| So read aloud and persevere. | 1Tim 4:13-16 |
| You'll save yourself and those who hear. | 1Tim 4:16 |
| All Christians, treat as relatives. | 1Tim 5:1-2 |
| To those in need, then, freely give. | 1Tim 5:3-5 |
| But those who are by pleasure fed, | 1Tim 5:6 |
| While living they're already dead. | 1Tim 5:6 |
| Those closest to you, give relief. | 1Tim 5:8 |
| To fail that's worse than unbelief. | 1Tim 5:8 |
| Help widows to whom you are close | 1Tim 5:16 |
| So church can help who needs it most. | 1Tim 5:16 |
| Those who the work of church direct | 1Tim 5:17-18 |
| Deserve the utmost of respect. | 1Tim 5:17-18 |
| Give honor, servants, all the same, | 1Tim 6:1-2 |
| That none would slander God's good name. | 1Tim 6:1-2 |
| Those who teach wrong are clueless, vain, | 1Tim 6:3-4 |
| Cause conflicts and seek worldly gain. | 1Tim 6:4-5 |
| Those wanting riches fall in traps | 1Tim 6:9 |
| That lead to ruinous collapse. | 1Tim 6:9 |
| The love of money is a root | 1Tim 6:10 |
| That grows to evil as its fruit. | 1Tim 6:10 |
| We came with nothing, thus depart. | 1Tim 6:7 |
| Chase godliness, now that's what's smart. | 1Tim 6:6 |
| The rich should do good deeds and share. | 1Tim 6:18 |
| Trust God in heav'n, build treasure there. | 1Tim 6:17,19 |
| Avoid the profane that is rife. | 1Tim 6:20 |
| Take hold of your eternal life. | 1Tim 6:12 |
The Second Letter to Timothy Rhymes | |
| Paul wrote to Timothy, "My boy, | 2Tim 1:1-2 |
| To see you would fill me with joy. | 2Tim 1:4 |
| It isn't fear that fills your soul, | 2Tim 1:6-7 |
| But power, love, and self-control. | 2Tim 1:6-7 |
| Though you might suffer, preach away. | 2Tim 1:8 |
| He called us, guards us, for that day. | 2Tim 1:9,12 |
| You're in Christ's army now for good, | 2Tim 2:3-4 |
| So suffer evil as he would. | 2Tim 2:3-4 |
| With Christ we died, with him we live. | 2Tim 2:11 |
| Endure and us a crown he'll give. | 2Tim 2:12 |
| Deny him, he'll deny us back. | 2Tim 2:12 |
| But faithfulness he'll never lack. | 2Tim 2:13 |
| Don't argue over minor things. | 2Tim 2:14 |
| Confusing harm is all that brings. | 2Tim 2:14 |
| Shun godless talk or you will find | 2Tim 2:16 |
| That godlessness infects your mind. | 2Tim 2:16 |
| So cleanse yourself in order to | 2Tim 2:19-22 |
| Be ready when God calls on you. | 2Tim 2:19-22 |
| When opposition is expressed | 2Tim 2:25 |
| You must respond with gentleness. | 2Tim 2:25 |
| Know peril comes in final days | 2Tim 3:1 |
| With proud and unforgiving ways. | 2Tim 3:2-3 |
| When men will hate and lie and boast | 2Tim 3:2-3 |
| And people love themselves the most. | 2Tim 3:2 |
| No self-control and won't give thanks. | 2Tim 3:2-3 |
| They won't trust God, but trust in banks. | 2Tim 3:2,4 |
| Abusive, brutal, loveless frauds. | 2Tim 3:2-3 |
| These men choose pleasure over God. | 2Tim 3:4 |
| False piety denies God's sway, | 2Tim 3:5 |
| So from such people, get away. | 2Tim 3:5 |
| The truly pious Christ embrace | 2Tim 3:12 |
| And persecutions we will face. | 2Tim 3:12 |
| All Scripture can prepare us for | 2Tim 3:16 |
| The work God has for us in store. | 2Tim 3:17 |
| So preach the Word, or they will steer | 2Tim 4:2 |
| Themselves to what they want to hear. | 2Tim 4:3 |
| My time in this world winding down, | 2Tim 4:6 |
| The Lord reward me with a Crown. | 2Tim 4:8 |
The Letter to Titus Rhymes | |
| With faith in God, whose word does light us, | Ti 1:1-3 |
| Paul sent a message off to Titus. | Ti 1:4 |
| Peace be upon you as you search | Ti 1:4-5 |
| For blameless men to lead the church. | Ti 1:5-6 |
| Men patient, friendly, self-controlled. | Ti 1:7-8 |
| Steadfastly to the Word they hold. | Ti 1:9 |
| For they must teach and clarify, | Ti 1:9 |
| Rebuking those espousing lies. | Ti 1:9-16 |
| Teach temperance, a creed correct, | Ti 2:2 |
| Be sober, worthy of respect. | Ti 2:2 |
| Be sound in faith, in love, endure, | Ti 2:2 |
| Don't slander but be kind and pure. | Ti 2:3,5 |
| Teach reverence and to take good care. | Ti 2:3-5 |
| That what they've learned they then should share. | Ti 2:7 |
| In everything do what is good. | Ti 2:7 |
| Speak soundly so you're understood. | Ti 2:8 |
| Don't steal from those you're subject to, | Ti 2:10 |
| But please them to show what is true. | Ti 2:10 |
| Important that you live this way. | Ti 2:7 |
| Give others nothing bad to say. | Ti 2:8 |
| To all of us God gives the grace | Ti 2:11 |
| To be controlled in all we face. | Ti 2:12 |
| He purified us, grace not earned, | Ti 2:14 |
| And now we wait for his return. | Ti 2:13 |
| Remind the people: heed the law. | Ti 3:1 |
| Don't focus on another's flaw. | Ti 3:2 |
| Do good and show humility. | Ti 3:1-2 |
| Be gentle with tranquility. | Ti 3:2 |
| Once we were disobedient, | Ti 3:3 |
| Were worldly and expedient, | Ti 3:3 |
| Took crooked paths instead of straight, | Ti 3:3 |
| We lived in malice, envy, hate. | Ti 3:3 |
| But when by love our Savior came | Ti 3:4 |
| He gave us a new life to claim. | Ti 3:5-7 |
| Avoid divisiveness, wrote Paul. | Ti 3:9-11 |
| May God's good grace be with you all. | Ti 3:15 |

The Letter to the Hebrews Rhymes | |
| God spoke through prophets, now the Son, | Heb 1:1-2 |
| Through whom the whole world was begun. | Heb 1:2 |
| He is the radiance of God. | Heb 1:3 |
| The divine substance in a pod. | Heb 1:3 |
| The cleansing of our sins is He. | Heb 1:3 |
| Enthroned beside the Majesty. | Heb 1:3 |
| "Let all the angels worship Him." | Heb 1:6 |
| "Your throne," says God, "shall never end." | Heb 1:8 |
| "The earth and sky in place you've lain, | Heb 1:10 |
| And when they perish, you remain." | Heb 1:11 |
| His message we cannot ignore - | Heb 2:2-3 |
| Salvation, which God underscores. | Heb 2:3-4 |
| Now everything beneath him placed. | Heb 2:5-9 |
| For everything, death he did taste. | Heb 2:9 |
| He calls us brothers, Jesus does. | Heb 2:11-12 |
| As we are tempted, so he was. | Heb 2:18 |
| So dwell on Jesus, he's the best. | Heb 3:1 |
| Superior to all the rest. | Heb 1:4, 3:3 |
| For Moses, honor is in store. | Heb 3:2-5 |
| The builder of the house gets more. | Heb 3:3-6 |
| Don't let sin's lies draw you away. | Heb 3:7-13 |
| Exhort each other every day. | Heb 3:13 |
| For faith in God is great relief. | Heb 4:2-10 |
| Accept his rest through true belief. | Heb 4:3-11 |
| The Word of God, a flaming sword. | Heb 4:12 |
| Not one thought can escape the Lord. | Heb 4:12-13 |
| We must give an account to Him. | Heb 4:13 |
| He knew temptation, but not sin. | Heb 4:15-16 |
| As priest, atonement he does bring. | Heb 5:1-9 |
| And like Melchizedek, a king. | Heb 5:6,10 |
| You must move past the basics still. | Heb 5:11-6:2 |
| And God permitting, soon you will. | Heb 6:3 |
| But those who turn and fall away | Heb 6:4-6 |
| Will in the end have hell to pay. | Heb 6:8 |
| To taste the gift, then leave the Name, | Heb 6:4-6 |
| Subjects the Son of God to shame. | Heb 6:6 |
| But you have better things to come. | Heb 6:9-12 |
| God made a promise, count it done. | Heb 6:13-20 |
| About Melchizedek the priest - | Heb 7:1 |
| Was king of righteousness and peace. | Heb 7:2 |
| A priest not by the law ordained. | Heb 7:9-11 |
| Perfection not by law obtained. | Heb 7:11,19 |
| So of this order, Christ's priesthood. | Heb 7:17 |
| It meets our needs, for he is good. | Heb 7:26 |
| By oath, his priesthood does not end. | Heb 7:20-21 |
| Forever on Him we depend. | Heb 7:25 |
| The better covenant is new. | Heb 8:6-13 |
| He serves the tabernacle true. | Heb 8:1-2 |
| No longer shadows shown in parts. | Heb 8:5 |
| He'll write his laws upon our hearts. | Heb 8:10 |
| The earthly place a symbol for | Heb 9:1-10 |
| When God would open up the door. | Heb 9:11-10:21 |
| Draw near to God with hearts sincere, | Heb 10:22 |
| With faith assured and conscience clear. | Heb 10:22 |
| Together and with hope proceed, | Heb 10:23,25 |
| Provoking love and loving deeds. | Heb 10:24 |
| If, knowing truth, you still choose sin, | Heb 10:26 |
| What dreadful trouble you are in. | Heb 10:26-31 |
| Instead stand strong with confidence. | Heb 10:32-35 |
| Enduring treasures you have hence. | Heb 10:34 |
| Do not shrink back and be destroyed. | Heb 10:35-39 |
| Have faith, then life ahead enjoyed. | Heb 10:35-39 |
| Now faith is hope with certainty, | Heb 11:1 |
| It's proof of what we cannot see. | Heb 11:1 |
| By faith we know that God declared | Heb 11:3 |
| And all existence was prepared. | Heb 11:3 |
| By faith a better sacrifice | Heb 11:4 |
| Did Abel give, got paradise. | Heb 11:4 |
| By faith did Enoch please the Lord. | Heb 11:5 |
| You must believe to get reward. | Heb 11:6 |
| By faith did Noah build an ark. | Heb 11:7 |
| And onto righteousness embark. | Heb 11:7 |
| By faith Abraham up and went. | Heb 11:8 |
| He knew not where, just he was sent. | Heb 11:8 |
| By faith did Sarah life receive. | Heb 11:11 |
| Though past the age, she did conceive. | Heb 11:11 |
| By faith these lived and then they died. | Heb 11:13 |
| Believed what God said, he'd provide. | Heb 11:13 |
| They felt as strangers on this earth. | Heb 11:13-16 |
| God's built a home, much more it's worth. | Heb 11:16 |
| By faith Abraham passed a test. | Heb 11:17-19 |
| High stakes - to God he acquiesed. | Heb 11:17-19 |
| By faith did Issac bless his kids. | Heb 11:20 |
| By faith then Jacob, Joseph's did. | Heb 11:21 |
| By faith then Joseph did discuss | Heb 11:22 |
| What would become the exodus. | Heb 11:22 |
| By faith a Levite man and wife | Heb 11:23 |
| Defied the king, saved Moses's life. | Heb 11:23 |
| By faith then Moses chose God's path. | Heb 11:24-28 |
| Chose Christ and feared not pharoah's wrath. | Heb 11:26-27 |
| By faith they walked by water wall. | Heb 11:29 |
| By faith they watched Jericho fall. | Heb 11:30 |
| By faith then Rahab helped the spies | Heb 11:31 |
| And thus did not meet her demise. | Heb 11:31 |
| By faith some went on great campaigns. | Heb 11:32-35 |
| By faith some, too, endured great pains. | Heb 11:35-38 |
| With such examples, cast off sin. | Heb 12:1 |
| And run your race as if to win. | Heb 12:1 |
| Your eyes on Christ who makes you whole | Heb 12:2 |
| You won't grow weary in your soul. | Heb 12:3 |
| When hardship comes, then think within, | Heb 12:4-7 |
| "This is God's love and discipline." | Heb 12:5-7 |
| He teaches those He counts as sons, | Heb 12:5-8 |
| Though in the moment it's not fun. | Heb 12:11 |
| We're stronger once drills we've withstood. | Heb 12:11-13 |
| He disciplines us for our good. | Heb 12:10 |
| Now live in peace not bitterness. | Heb 12:14-15 |
| Don't live for sex or godlessness. | Heb 12:16 |
| You've not come to a mountain dying, | Heb 12:18-19 |
| With fire and brimstone, terrifying. | Heb 12:20-21 |
| You're at the city heavenly | Heb 12:23 |
| That's filled with joy and men made free. | Heb 12:23 |
| Be locked into God's firm domain | Heb 12:25-27 |
| So when he shakes, you will remain. | Heb 12:26-27 |
| Be glad you're in the kingdom higher. | Heb 12:28 |
| Our God is a consuming fire. | Heb 12:29 |
| Keep showing hospitality. | Heb 13:1-3 |
| Avoid all immorality. | Heb 13:4 |
| God won't forsake or disappear. | Heb 13:5 |
| He helps you so you've none to fear. | Heb 13:6 |
| Be mindful of the ones who lead. | Heb 13:7 |
| As they behave, so you proceed. | Heb 13:7 |
| To teachings false, though, do not stray. | Heb 13:9-10 |
| Christ is the same on every day. | Heb 13:8 |
| He bore disgrace and so can we. | Heb 13:13 |
| Our future home we can foresee. | Heb 13:14 |
| So praise the Lord, do good, and share. | Heb 13:15-16 |
| Heed those who lead your souls with care. | Heb 13:17-19 |
| The God of peace make you complete | Heb 13:20-21 |
| To do His will, fragrant and sweet. | Heb 13:21 |
The Letter from James Rhymes | |
| With God your troubles can be joy. | Jm 1:2 |
| Endurance, wisdom he’ll deploy, | Jm 1:3-8 |
| To give you life, to keep out sin, | Jm 1:12 |
| For every good gift comes from Him. | Jm 1:13-18 |
| Open your ears and shut your mouth. | Jm 1:19-20 |
| Let God inside you help you out. | Jm 1:21 |
| And when you hear, then follow through. | Jm 1:22-24 |
| Let God bless all the things you do. | Jm 1:25 |
| The pure must always watch their tongue. | Jm 1:26 |
| Help widows and the orphaned young. | Jm 1:27 |
| Impartially love the rich and poor. | Jm 2:1-9 |
| Give mercy and get grace galore. | Jm 2:12-13 |
| What good is faith tacked on the wall? | Jm 2:14-16 |
| Inactive faith ain’t faith at all. | Jm 2:17-26 |
| Your tongue is smaller than your arm, | Jm 3:4 |
| But tell me which can do more harm? | Jm 3:5 |
| You tame a tiger - Tame your speech. | Jm 3:7 |
| Don’t set on fire those you reach. | Jm 3:6 |
| Don’t bless God then curse those he made. | Jm 3:9 |
| Don’t use your words like a grenade. | Jm 3:8 |
| To be wise you must be humble. | Jm 3:13 |
| Selfishness would make you stumble. | Jm 3:14 |
| Pursue the wisdom from above, | Jm 3:15 |
| Of peaceful actions filled with love. | Jm 3:17-18 |
| For war is born of selfish greed, | Jm 4:1 |
| from wanting things we do not need. | Jm 4:2 |
| The devil flees when you resist. | Jm 4:7 |
| Draw near to God, he will assist. | Jm 4:8-10 |
| And do not boast of what you’ll do, | Jm 4:13-14 |
| You’ll go wherever God wants you to. | Jm 4:15 |
| Beware a life of ease and rest, | Jm 5:1-6 |
| You’d rather be etern’lly blessed. | |
| Be patient and in all things pray. | Jm 5:7-9,13-18 |
| Endure till his returning day. | Jm 5:10-11 |
=The First Letter from Peter Rhymes | |
| To those on whom the Spirit's poured | 1P 1:1 |
| Wrote Peter, servant of the Lord | 1P 1:1 |
| Praise God who granted us new life, | 1P 1:3 |
| Far greater than our present strife. | 1P 1:6 |
| Your faith leads to elation pure, | 1P 1:8 |
| Delivering salvation sure. | 1P 1:9 |
| So don’t return to sinful ways, | 1P 1:14 |
| But dwell on grace throughout your days | 1P 1:13 |
| Be holy, following God’s lead. | 1P 1:15-16 |
| From emptiness you have been freed. | 1P 1:18-19 |
| May purity set you apart. | 1P 1:22 |
| Now love, and love with all your heart. | |
| Reborn, we now are God’s own spore, | 1P 1:23 |
| Whose word endures forevermore. | 1P 1:25 |
| Therefore you must eliminate | 1P 2:1 |
| All lies and slander, envy, hate. | |
| Be nourished by the word of God | 1P 2:3 |
| And join the royal, priestly squad, | 1P 2:5 |
| Who shine the light, who make it known: | 1P 2:9 |
| God laid a precious cornerstone. | 1P 2:6 |
| Exemplifying how to live: | 1P 2:21-24 |
| When you are wronged, like him, forgive. | 1P 2:15-20 |
| As strangers in this world we’re in, | 1P 2:11 |
| Be known for good deeds, not for sin. | 1P 2:12 |
| In all positions heed God's call. | 1P 3:1-12 |
| Respect the Lord and honor all. | 1P 2:17 |
| Defend the faith by saying why | 1P 3:15 |
| You serve the Christ the Lord on high. | |
| To chase the flesh is to be dead. | 1P 4:1-5 |
| Pursue the godly life instead. | 1P 4:6 |
| The end is near. Be ready, pray. | 1P 4:7 |
| Love everyone who comes your way. | 1P 4:8-9 |
| Whatever gift you have received, | 1P 4:10 |
| Through you, may God’s will be achieved. | 1P 4:11 |
| Remember now, hard times will come. | 1P 4:12 |
| Much glory, though, to suffer some. | 1P 4:13-14 |
The Second Letter from Peter Rhymes | |
| He wrote again, more peace and grace | 2P 1:2 |
| To those who make the Lord their base. | 2P 1:1 |
| God’s pow’r can give you piety | 2P 1:3 |
| Despite corrupt society. | 2P 1:4 |
| To faith add goodness, knowledge too. | 2P 1:5 |
| Control yourself and see things through. | 2P 1:6 |
| Devote yourself to God above. | 2P 1:7 |
| Take care of others. Always love. | |
 | |
| You are redeemed, serve God with zeal. | 2P 1:8-11 |
| His kingdom is so very real. | 2P 1:12-21 |
| Avoid the folks who falsely claim | 2P 2:1 |
| To prophesy in Jesus’ name, | |
| But love the flesh. Well, God has shown: | 2P 2:2 |
| Bad people reap what they have sown. | 2P 2:3-10 |
| They pounce the weak, they are depraved. | 2P 2:18 |
| By their corruption they’re enslaved. | 2P 2:19 |
| For blasphemy they’ll be destroyed, | 2P 2:11-12 |
| And cast into the deepest void. | 2P 2:17 |
| Dear friends, keep Scripture on your mind. | 2P 3:1-2 |
| The mockers will be left behind. | 2P 3:3-7 |
| For on that day when He returns: | 2P 3:8-9 |
| New earth revealed while this world burns. | 2P 3:10-13 |
| From sin, keep your behavior free. | 2P 3:14-17 |
| All glory to our Savior be. | 2P 3:18 |
The First Letter from John Rhymes | |
| We’ve seen it, touched it, know it’s true: | 1Jn 1:1-2 |
| This life we have and preach to you. | 1Jn 1:3-4 |
| This is the message - God is light, | 1Jn 1:5 |
| The only path out of our plight. | 1Jn 1:7 |
| We all have sin, we must confess. | 1Jn 1:9 |
| Denial won’t improve our mess. | 1Jn 1:8,10 |
| We sin, that’s why we need the Christ | 1Jn 2:1 |
| To be atoning sacrifice. | 1Jn 2:2 |
| Then strive to follow his command: | 1Jn 2:3-5 |
| As Jesus stood, so we must stand. | 1Jn 2:6 |
| Think you know God? Well here’s a test: | 1Jn 2:9 |
| How patient are you with a pest? | 1Jn 2:9 |
| For love and light are intertwined. | 1Jn 2:10 |
| But if you hate, you have gone blind. | 1Jn 2:11 |
| Both God and Son have always been. | 1Jn 2:13 |
| Christ took God’s wrath to pay our sin. | 1Jn 2:12 |
| He lives in us and makes us strong, | 1Jn 2:14 |
| To help us overcome what’s wrong. | 1Jn 2:14 |
| What’s wrong is loving things of earth | 1Jn 2:15 |
| Instead of God whose will is worth | 1Jn 2:17 |
| Far more than flesh or pride or lust, | 1Jn 2:16 |
| Which soon will disappear like dust. | 1Jn 2:17 |
| There are two sides, and you’re on one: | 1Jn 2:18-22 |
| You either trust or spurn the Son. | 1Jn 2:23-27 |
| We’re only righteous under grace, | 1Jn 2:28-33 |
| But sin is spitting in His face. | 1Jn 3:4-6 |
| We’re Satan’s spawn if sin runs wild, | 1Jn 3:8,10 |
| But righteous if you are God’s child. | 1Jn 3:7,9 |
| To hate is murder in your heart. | 1Jn 3:12-15 |
| For love we have been set apart. | 1Jn 3:11 |
| Love not with words, but with our deeds, | 1Jn 3:18 |
| By helping others with their needs. | 1Jn 3:17 |
| His order’s easy to perceive: | 1Jn |
| Love others and in Christ believe. | 1Jn 3:23 |
| To Truth good spirits testify. | 1Jn 4:1-2 |
| But evil spirits, Christ deny. | 1Jn 4:3-6 |
| He loved us though we chose to sin. | 1Jn 4:9-10 |
| He gave us Christ and lives within | 1Jn 4:12-16 |
| So we can love in the same way, | 1Jn 4:7-8,11 |
| Love others though they live astray. | 1Jn 4:19-21 |
| For faith is love is purity, | 1Jn 5:1-4 |
| Is life communing with the Three, | 1Jn 5:6-8 |
| Is birth of God, hope in his name, | 1Jn 5:9-12 |
| Avoiding sin - they’re all the same. | 1Jn 5:16 |
| We’re guarded by God on the throne, | 1Jn 5:18 |
| So trust and worship him alone. | 1Jn 5:21 |
The Second Letter from John Rhymes | |
| The elder wrote to the elect | 2Jn 1 |
| In love and joy and to direct | 2Jn 2 |
| Them toward the light, away from lies, | 2Jn 7-8 |
| For none has God who Christ denies. | 2Jn 9-11 |
| What joy your children Christ should know. | 2Jn 4 |
| What joy to see the family grow. | 2Jn 4 |
| Now love each other - His command. | 2Jn 5-6 |
| For love and God go hand in hand. | 2Jn 6 |
The Third Letter from John Rhymes | |
| He prays all would go well with you, | 3Jn 2 |
| Your life be filled with what is true, | 3Jn 3-4 |
| To keep supporting those who preach, | 3Jn 5-6 |
| Those sent by God, the lost to reach. | 3Jn 7-8 |
| Don’t seek prestige as some men would, | 3Jn 9-10 |
| But imitate that which is good. | 3Jn 11 |
The Letter from Jude Rhymes | |
| To all those called and sanctified: | Jude 1 |
| Have peace and mercy multiplied. | Jude 2 |
| Together we shall be replete, | |
| And in His presence be complete. | Jude 3 |
| Be warned though, till that trumpet’s heard, | |
| Of those who come to twist God’s word. | Jude 4 |
| For grace is not a pass to sin. | Jude 4 |
| Joy comes from God, not from your skin. | Jude 7 |
| Don’t crave the glory God won’t yield, | Jude 11 |
| Nor lust for pow’r you could not wield. | |
| No food or gold stored on the shelves | Jude 11 |
| Will help those who love just themselves. | Jude 12-13 |
| The arrogant may rule the day, | Jude 14-16 |
| Till God makes this world pass away. | Jude 17-18 |
| Beloved build each other up. | Jude 20 |
| Let love and mercy fill your cup. | Jude 21-23 |
| For God who cleaned and set you free, | Jude 24 |
| Rules everywhere eternally. | |
The Revelation Rhymes | |
 njoy this message God gave through |
Rev 1:1-3 |
| His son, an angel, John, to you. | Rev 1:1-3 |
| All praise and power and glory be | Rev 1:6 |
| To Christ who paid our penalty. | Rev 1:5 |
| Now clean we serve our God because | Rev 1:6 |
| He always is and always was. | Rev 1:8 |
| John, exiled 'cause he preached the Word, | Rev 1:9 |
| Was in the Spirit when he heard | Rev 1:10 |
| A voice that said, like trumpet sound, | Rev 1:10 |
| "The things you see, go write them down". | Rev 1:11 |
| By golden lampstands, Son of Man | Rev 1:12 |
| With golden sash and stars in hand, | Rev 1:13,16 |
| His hair like snow, his eyes ablaze, | Rev 1:14 |
| His face like sunshine's brilliant rays, | Rev 1:16 |
| His voice like rushing waters roared, | Rev 1:15 |
| And from his mouth, a two-edged sword. | Rev 1:16 |
| John fell and at his feet he laid. | Rev 1:17 |
| But then God said, "Don't be afraid." | Rev 1:17 |
| "I am the First, the Last, the One. | Rev 1:18 |
| Death and the cross, I've overcome." | Rev 1:18 |
| "Now write this down, it's meant to guide | Rev 1:19 |
| The seven aspects of my bride. | Rev 1:20 |
| I know you, Prophet, have endured. | Rev 2:2 |
| By none who lie have you been lured. | Rev 2:2-3 |
| But where's the love you had at first? | Rev 2:4 |
| Now change your heart, I'll quench your thirst. | Rev 2:5,7 |
| Dear Servant: I know times are hard. | Rev 2:9 |
| Still more the devil will bombard. | Rev 2:10 |
| Be faithful when the pain is rife | Rev 2:10 |
| and I will give the crown of life. | Rev 2:10 |
| Then Teacher: I know Satan's there, | Rev 2:13 |
| That you hold fast and don't despair, | Rev 2:13 |
| Though, even when a brother dies. | Rev 2:13 |
| But why do you put up with lies? | Rev 2:14-15 |
| Reform the teachings I've deplored | Rev 2:16 |
| Or I'll correct them with my sword. | Rev 2:16 |
| The victors will then, I proclaim, | Rev 2:17 |
| Get hidden bread and a new name. | Rev 2:17 |
| Encourager, I know your works. | Rev 2:19 |
| In victory I'll give you perks. | Rev 2:26 |
| Authority from near to far. | Rev 2:27 |
| I'll also give the morning star. | Rev 2:28 |
| But you put up with Jezebel, | Rev 2:20 |
| Whose so-called secrets come from hell. | Rev 2:24 |
| I'm sending hardships to her kind, | Rev 2:22 |
| Then you'll know I search heart and mind. | Rev 2:23 |
| Now Giver church, I have bad news: | Rev 3:1 |
| I see through your religious ruse. | Rev 3:1 |
| Repent and ever-watchful be, | Rev 3:2-3 |
| Like those who get to walk with me. | Rev 3:4 |
| And Leaders: See the open door | Rev 3:8 |
| That, through your weakness, strength I pour | Rev 3:8 |
| To keep my word and to endure, | Rev 3:10 |
| To keep your heav'nly crown secure. | Rev 3:11-12 |
| To those who have the Mercy gift: | Rev 3:14 |
| Don't think you're rich when you're adrift. | Rev 3:17-18 |
| The lukewarm make me want to puke. | Rev 3:15-16 |
| Because I love you, I rebuke. | Rev 3:19 |
| Be earnest, turn away from sin. | Rev 3:19 |
| I'm at the door, just let me in. | Rev 3:20 |
| And if you trust in me alone, | Rev 3:21 |
| I'll let you join me on my throne." | Rev 3:21 |
| Then after this, an open door | Rev 4:1 |
| Led John to heaven to see more. | Rev 4:1 |
| The Lord was seated on a throne. | Rev 4:2 |
| He shined like brilliant precious stone. | Rev 4:3 |
| And men with crowns of gold surround, | Rev 4:4 |
| While voices, flames, and thunder sound. | Rev 4:5 |
| Four creatures that each have six wings, | 4:7 |
| They never rest but always sing, | 4:8 |
| "Almighty God, past, future, now." | Rev 4:8 |
| The men throw down their crowns and bow. | Rev 4:9-10 |
| "You're worthy God, none higher rated. | Rev 4:11 |
| For by your will all was created." | Rev 4:11 |
| Now in his hand God held a scroll | Rev 5:1 |
| That none could open, not a soul. | Rev 5:2-4 |
| Until a Lamb with seven eyes | Rev 5:5-6 |
| He took it, for he qualifies | Rev 5:7 |
| Because he purchased with his blood | Rev 5:9 |
| A people once just filled with crud. | Rev 5:10 |
| Now clean and serving God as priests. | Rev 5:10 |
| Sing praise that never shall be ceased. | Rev 5:11-13 |
| The scroll Christ held had seven seals. | Rev 5:1 |
| Each one a plan of God reveals. | Rev 6:1 |
| He opened one, a horse all white | Rev 6:1 |
| Was sent with crown to win each fight. | Rev 6:2 |
| The next, a horse all fiery red, | Rev 6:3 |
| Took peace from earth - men killed men dead. | Rev 6:4 |
| The third seal, a black horse unveils, | Rev 6:5 |
| Its rider with a pair of scales. | Rev 6:5 |
| The fourth seal brought the Grave and Death, | Rev 6:7 |
| A pale horse who, with every breath, | Rev 6:8 |
| Where God allowed them, killed with ease, | Rev 6:8 |
| By sword, by famine, by disease. | Rev 6:8 |
| Then when the fifth seal was unsealed | Rev 6:9 |
| Beneath the altar was revealed | Rev 6:9 |
| Those who for preaching met their fate. | Rev 6:10 |
| They asked for justice, told to wait. | Rev 6:11 |
| The sixth seal changed the universe. | Rev 6:12-14 |
| The unredeemed saw things get worse. | Rev 6:15-17 |
| An angel sealed the heads of some | Rev 7:2 |
| So they avoid the wrath to come. | Rev 7:3 |
| All praising God, a countless swarm. | Rev 7:9-17 |
| Then there was silence 'fore the storm. | Rev 8:1 |
| Our prayers as incense to God rose. | Rev 8:2-4 |
| Then fire came from trumpet blows. | Rev 8:6 |
| The first burned earth and grass and trees. | Rev 8:7 |
| The second turned to blood the seas. | Rev 8:8-9 |
| The third brought down the Wormwood star, | Rev 8:10-11 |
| Which ruined waters near and far. | Rev 8:11 |
| The fourth took out one-third of light. | Rev 8:12 |
| "But oh", cried one, "the coming blight". | Rev 8:13 |
| A trumpet blew, the fifth one this, | Rev 9:1 |
| And locusts came from the abyss. | Rev 9:2-3 |
| They didn't kill, they just brought pain | Rev 9:5-11 |
| That those without the seal sustain. | Rev 9:4 |
| Then trumpet six sent those assigned | Rev 9:13-15 |
| To kill a third of humankind. | Rev 9:16-19 |
| Yet people, still, they chose to steal. | Rev 9:21 |
| To manmade idols still they kneel. | Rev 9:20 |
| Then said an angel down from heaven. | Rev 10:5-6 |
| "God's purpose comes with trumpet seven." | Rev 10:7 |
| John walked up to the angel great. | Rev 10:8-9 |
| He took the scroll, which then he ate. | Rev 10:10 |
| He learned that two would prophesy | Rev 11:4-6 |
| Till more than three years had gone by. | Rev 11:3 |
| An evil beast will come and kill. | Rev 11:7 |
| They'll lay unburied, dead and still. | Rev 11:8-9 |
| The lost will laugh and celebrate | Rev 11:10 |
| Till God makes them both stand up straight. | Rev 11:11 |
| When God says to the two "Come here", | Rev 11:12 |
| The people learn that God's to fear. | Rev 11:13 |
| And then the seventh trumpet blew. | Rev 11:15 |
| What was proclaimed was coming true. | Rev 11:16 |
| The whole world now is his domain, | Rev 11:15 |
| And always God and Christ will reign. | Rev 11:15 |
| Then those in heaven fell face down | Rev 11:16 |
| To praise the God of great renown. | Rev 11:17-18 |
| Two signs: A woman great with child | Rev 12:1-2 |
| Next to a dragon huge and riled. | Rev 12:3-4 |
| The baby would be dragon's prey, | Rev 12:4 |
| But God stepped in to save the day. | Rev 12:5 |
| Swept up the child, saved the mom. | Rev 12:6 |
| The dragon blew up like a bomb. | |
| Then there in heaven was a war. | Rev 12:7 |
| It's Michael's versus Satan's corps. | Rev 12:7 |
| The outcome never was in doubt. | Rev 12:8 |
| The devil's side was all thrown out. | Rev 12:8-9 |
| Now stuck on earth and furious, | Rev 12:17 |
| He aimed to be injurious | Rev 12:17 |
| To those who would not bow or cow'r | Rev 12:17 |
| So to a beast he gave his pow'r. | Rev 13:2 |
| And all the people worshipped it | Rev 13:4 |
| Whose names weren't in the holy writ. | Rev 13:8 |
| It slaughtered saints and beat the pure. | Rev 13:7 |
| If you're there then, one word: endure. | Rev 13:10 |
| A second beast, skilled at deception, | Rev 13:11-15 |
| Forbid all trade, with one exception: | Rev 13:16-17 |
| Those on whose hand he does affix | Rev 13:16-17 |
| His number, which is six six six. | Rev 13:18 |
| The pure were singing on Mount Zion | Rev 14:2-5 |
| Before the Lamb who is a Lion. | Rev 14:1 |
| Three angels made the truth well-known, | Rev 14:6 |
| "Fear God and worship him alone". | Rev 14:7-12 |
| An angel then was told to reap. | Rev 14:14-15 |
| The harvest came in one big sweep. | Rev 14:16 |
| Then those whose souls were grabbed like grapes, | Rev 14:17-18 |
| Not one who's due God's wrath escapes. | Rev 14:19-20 |
| Meanwhile the faithful stood to sing, | Rev 15:1-2 |
| "Great are you God, and just, our King". | Rev 15:3-4 |
| Then angels stepped out on the path | Rev 15:6 |
| To get the bowls filled with God's wrath, | Rev 15:7 |
| And these were poured out one by one | Rev 16:1-16 |
| Till from the throne God said "It's done". | Rev 16:17 |
| Then John was shown, from new location, | Rev 17:3 |
| Mother of Abomination. | Rev 17:4-5 |
| The city who loves earthly things, | Rev 17:18 |
| And rules the ways of worldly kings. | Rev 17:2 |
| In drunken luxury does thrive, | Rev 17:2 |
| But at God's Word, will not survive. | Rev 17:16-17 |
| And at that Babylon the great, | Rev 18:2 |
| Who boasted and loved goods ornate, | Rev 18:7,14 |
| Devoured souls and fanned desire, | Rev 18:13 |
| Was suddenly consumed by fire. | Rev 18:8 |
| Then "Hallelujah, Praise the Lord", | Rev 19:1,6 |
| A multitude in heaven roared. | Rev 19:1,6 |
| Salvation from God glorified, | Rev 19:1-2 |
| Now marriage for Christ and his bride. | Rev 19:7-8 |
| So blessed are those at wedding feast, | Rev 19:9 |
| Who join the Lamb and catch the beast | Rev 19:20 |
| And catch deceitful prophet too, | Rev 19:20 |
| Their armies killed, Faithful and True. | Rev 19:11,21 |
| With victory over insurrection, | Rev 19:19-21 |
| The martyrs rose, first resurrection. | Rev 20:4-6 |
| They rule with Christ a thousand years | Rev 20:4 |
| Till Satan, unbound, reappears. | Rev 20:7-8 |
| Fights to prevent what must transpire. | Rev 20:9 |
| He's thrown into the lake of fire. | Rev 20:10 |
| Before the throne, truth can't be fudged. | Rev 20:11 |
| By King of Kings, each will be judged. | Rev 20:12 |
| "Behold", said God, "I make things new. | Rev 21:5 |
| I am the first, the last, the true. | Rev 21:6 |
| The spring of life will thirst relieve, | Rev 21:6 |
| But not for those who don't believe." | Rev 21:8 |
| The Holy City then came down, | Rev 21:2 |
| A cube five thousand miles around. | Rev 21:16 |
| With walls of jasper, streets of gold, | Rev 21:18 |
| A brilliant glory to behold. | Rev 21:11 |
| There is no sun and yet no night, | Rev 21:23 |
| For God himself is city's light. | Rev 21:23-24 |
| Right in the city sits his throne. | Rev 22:3 |
| He'll live with us and call his own. | Rev 22:4 |
| His face we'll see and love we'll feel. | Rev 22:4 |
| His crops will quench and sate and heal. | Rev 22:1-2 |
| Be blessed and keep his words till then. | Rev 22:7 |
| "I'm coming soon", says Christ. Amen. | Rev 22:20-21 |
