The Answer....A Rap

   9/28/14                                  

If no one is coming down to set us straight
Then man alone must stop the hate
Just more of man’s laws to get fair and just
Yet our coins say “In God We Trust”

Hopeless man tries from his birth
To make Heaven right here on Earth
Try to make everything fair & square
Impossible for him, he doesn’t stand a prayer


Now if life here is all there is

Then at the end, there’ll be no pop quiz
Don’t stress, just pleasures be our goal
Let’s chop up the babies for birth control


But how can we all live as brothers?
Well righteousness and peace kiss each other          Psalm 85:10
Not everyone will serve the Lord
Jesus said "Sell your coat & buy a sword"                 Luke 22:36

War raged within me till the Prince of Peace             Isa. 9:6
Held my soul and gave me release
Victory every time, I’ve found the key
I just let God do the fighting for me

Now Shadrack, Mesach and Abednego
Dragged to Babylon, a long time ago
Had cool names and let me tell you mo
Fire couldn’t burn these three home bro                    Dan. 3

You may be believe you can up from the slime
And cleaned yourself up over time
Some like me are no accident
Created in His image, I was a blessed event


Brothers, sisters be it known

This big blue marble is not our home
Cause His eye is on the sparrow
Even on us when we’re down & low                         Matt. 10:29


Peace and justice can be real thin
When you’re looking for the answer blowing in the wind
Love flows out like hot fudge sauce
For those who are not ashamed of the cross

Today’s the day, let us sing & shout
Our troops are in and Satan is out
Shouts of joy for the Perfect Lamb                            John 1:29
What a great day to be an American

No need to be angry & full of despair
And go out cursing like Madeline O’Hare
Real peace and joy will overflow your cup
Just give it all to Jesus & keep looking up                Psalm 118:9

  1. Luana read her poem to group of non believers in 2002. She said that she wanted to do it in a way that it could be related to. It was very clever to choose the rap genre. This is fiilled with words to ponder not only for a non believer but also for believers as well.

    God bless...

  3. Your rap was right on and clever to use this genre to be able to reach non believers who might scoff at the information presented in a less compelling way. Thanks Luana!
