Don`t you see that effigy is not just Ryan, but you and me...
And the one who rides him and derides him is none other than, the enemy.
Yet, our cries are heard and so, our sighs— they pierce the darkness and arrive on high !
Angels dispatched go where no man tread, the land of gloom and darkness, the ungrateful dead.
The battle`s intense; the risk is great... Yet, all for one, to alter one man`s fate.
Now, do you see what I`m getting at ? Lost sheep, lost coin or, demoniac;
or Private Ryan whom was sought and found to bring him back to peaceful ground.
Warfare surrounds every soul: darkness, to destroy; light, to make whole.
The way out ? Well, there`s only One: that is, Jesus Christ, God`s own Son.

“Thanksgivin`” (to the cadence of Gilligan`s Island)
Just sit right back and I`ll tell a tale, a tale of a fateful trip that began at the sea of Galilee aboard a tiny ship; aboard a tiny ship...
Now the Good Lord with His motley crew got into a boat; and while on their way, the boat did sway yea, it almost ceased to float; yea, it almost ceased to float...
And, the wind did howl and the waters rise and the tiny boat was tossed; if not for the courage of the Fearless One all would be lost; all would be lost...
But, the wind did calm and the waves subside at the voice of the Fearless One; and the ship set shore on the other side to rescue one lost son; to rescue one lost son...
A man was he, among the tombs much like the walking dead; he cursed and foamed and he cut you see so that he often bled; so that he often bled...
But, Jesus came for a man like him, a solitary one; who is possessed and indeed helpless a lost and lonely son; a lost and lonely son...
And so you see Jesus set Him free from a living death; not by might nor power did He but by the Spirit`s breath; but by the Spirit`s breath...
Now the Good News is what He`s done for one He`ll do for any son; or daughter, too, like me and you if only to Him we`ll run; if only to Him we`ll run.
So, don`t stay where, no one cares in the land without no sun; For the Father watches and He waits for that one returning one; for that one returning one.
And, yes it`s true He will run to you and greet with warm embrace and shower you, like morning dew wi` tears and kisses on your face; wi` tears and kisses on your face.
Then, He`ll clothe you in, a righteous robe of pure snow white linen and of that day, you`ll always say, “It was just like Thanksgivin`; it was just like Thanksgivin`.”

“King Kong”
I just can`t shake this monkey that is riding on my back; feels like an endless hurdle race on a million mile track.
Each time I try and leap I end up on my face but then again I slowly rise and get back in the race.
I remember, He too, was tempted in the ways of every man but He never stumbled, tripped or fell— He stood and forever stands !
So, that is to say, He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust; whether it be, gluttony, pride or even lust.
And, in the book of Hebrews— The Hall of Fame of faith— some were tempted and some were killed that`s what the Good Book saith.
So, though you find yourself in that same place once again, remember He won`t forsake you for He`s your helper and your friend.
Remember, too, a righteous man is not one who never sins but rather one who falls seven times and rises up again !
