WE OUGHT TO BE HAPPY
by Bill Kochman
07-25-2014
We ought to be happy,
We’re the children of the King,
We ought to be happy,
No matter what the Devil bring.
We ought to be happy,
Yes, shout and praise and sing,
We ought to be happy,
And be thankful for everything.
We ought to be happy,
We wear the bridegroom’s ring,
We ought to be happy,
He vows to take us up on wing.

WE JUST CAN’T IMAGINE
by Bill Kochman
08-22-2014
Man prides himself in his cities,
Oh to him they all seem so great,
But I know a more wonderful place,
Which makes all towns second rate.
My friend we just cannot imagine,
The glories that await us above,
A great city of untold splendor,
Designed by our Father of Love.
Nothing on this Earth can compare,
It is so beyond our imagination,
And freely it is ours to receive,
If we accept Christ’s salvation.

WE ALWAYS GO TO WAR
by Bill Kochman
11-20-2016
Since many years ago as a little boy,
It seems there’s always been a ploy,
A widespread lie and politician’s toy,
That says we must always go to war.
North Koreans were once the war song,
That is till the Viet Cong came along,
Then al-Qaeda & Afghans did us wrong,
And so once again we went to war.
Saddam and his Iraqis then came next,
ISIS and Iranians, our souls still vex,
As for Bashar, many lives he wrecks,
Thus again we look for another war.

WATCH OUT FOR 666
by Bill Kochman
05-30-2022
Oh watch out for that 666,
They say it’s the Devil’s name,
If you get branded with it,
You’ll get cast into the flame.
But many were so desperate,
For money and clothes to wear,
So they ignored His warnings,
They just didn’t seem to care.
Famine had taken a heavy toll,
Oh for just one morsel to eat,
The price they paid was tragic,
Now they would feel God’s heat.
Yes, Satan was very deceptive,
He played his cards quite well,
He corralled so many folks in,
And now they’re bound for Hell.

WARMONGERS
by Bill Kochman
12-15-2016
There is just no way to humanize war,
You know what soldiers went there for.
An agenda gets pushed by your nation,
So be a patriot, or it’s your humiliation.
Beware of the mass media who spin lies,
They are all just tools, you do realize.
Wars are horrible, millions they kill,
Only twisted people get their thrill.
It’s much better to just live in peace,
When will all these hostilities cease?
Peace on this Earth won’t come by man,
Thank God above, He has His own plan.

WALK, DON’T RUN
by Bill Kochman
07-25-2018
Sometimes we are in such a hurry,
We really want to get things done,
We are anxious to see the results,
Instead of walking we try to run.
Then when things just don’t happen,
Discouragement soon comes our way,
We sink into a pit of our own making,
Did we listen to what God has to say?
You see, God is in no great hurry,
He takes His time to effect His Will,
Instead of getting bent out of shape,
We need to trust Him and then be still.
Yes, it’s true we must do what we can,
We must exercise faith and do our part,
But trying to push in our own strength,
My friend, it really isn’t being smart.
So just commit your way unto the Lord,
And do what you can obviously do,
Then sit back in confidence and faith,
Knowing that God will see you through.

WALK BY FAITH
by Bill Kochman
05-06-2014
When Satan tempts with fear and fright,
And tries to turn your day to night,
Rebuke that serpent and his bite,
And walk by faith, and not by sight.
When he seeks to put out your light
Trust in the Lord, don’t get uptight
Resist that fiend with all your might
And walk by faith, and not by sight.
If doubts come in you need to fight,
Don’t believe that black is white,
He is just a liar, he is never right,
So walk by faith, and not by sight.

Watch it as it passes over Cuba, roars across Florida and then eventually dissipates as it passes through the Carolinas and Virginia.

WALK ALONE
by Bill Kochman
08-01-2014
I would rather walk alone,
If it means having the truth,
I choose to embrace God’s Word,
Tho friends go thru the roof.
And I won’t bow to pressure,
Or believe as they believe,
I trust in God’s own Spirit,
What He gives me I receive.
God’s Word is a sharp sword,
It can cut just like a knife,
To some folks it brings death,
But to others Eternal Life.

WAIT FOR GOD
by Bill Kochman
07-30-2014
You can’t do it by yourself,
Even though you think you can,
Don’t push forward foolishly,
It’s a really lousy plan.
If you rush ahead of God,
And run at your own pace,
No doubt that you will fall,
And land right on your face.
Better it is to wait for Him,
And let Him show you the way,
So bend down on your knees,
And take some time to pray.

VIOLENT NATION
by Bill Kochman
05-19-2018
Oh there is so much violence,
When will the anger ever stop?
Some crazy kills our children,
And a thug then kills some cop.
We are a nation full of hatred,
Our fruit is such a rotten crop,
The people have so little love,
From the bottom to the top.
Oh how the Lord must weep,
Each time some gun goes pop,
It’s time we do something real,
Don’t let one more body drop.

VICTORY
by Bill Kochman
08-30-2014
Victory in our Christian faith,
Doesn’t come suddenly one day,
It is all the little battles,
That we fight along life’s way.
Forgetting things that are behind,
And reaching for the things before,
Laying aside every weight and sin,
Is how we will win this great war.
We must learn to run with patience,
Keeping our eyes fixed on the Lord,
Protected with God’s mighty armor,
His Word is our wonderful sword.
