Poetry

  • I Used To - I used to hope, but now I know, I used to cry, no place to go. I used to think, how it’d be, When I stand there, God and me. I used to pray, but wasn’t sure, I used to think, to endure. But now I know, my name is there, Not by works, nor by prayer. I [...]
  • The Cost - It Cost Jesus His All -- Should You Give Less “The cost, what is the cost?”, I did plea? What do I pay, how much, it can’t be free? What do you mean, no charge, no work I can do? Surely there is something, something that’s due? Give up my sorrow, and pain, of course, here you are. My troubled conscience, [...]
  • Short Poem - Where did all my time go, is there any way to know. It seems days roll by, hardly time to say hello. When I was very young, everything was slow. I was just thinking, that was not long ago. The sun was up early, now the shadows are here. The day when fast, sleeping time is near. Can’t we slow this down, it [...]
  • First Snow - I woke up this morning and what did I see, A whole pile of snow waiting for me. So with childish gee I got out my shovel, And had it all cleared up without any trouble. Then I thought what a good thing to blog about, So I grabbed my iPhone and pictures did scout. Just [...]
  • Glory! I’m Saved! - But brother what of those, that are not, what oh what, shall be their lot. Should we not labor, to bring them in, to labor and plead, their souls to win. Perhaps we first, for self should pray, the Lord his Spirit, upon us lay. A weeping conviction, upon our heart, That stay with us, and never [...]
  • Just One Soul Jesus - Here I sit, and weap and pray, seeking burden, for those that stray. Confessing lack, of my concern, with heavy heart, for those that spurn. Thinking what, the awful cost, the Christless soul, a life of dross. Of the joy, when saved from sin, please Jesus, one soul let me win. Into my day, with burden deep, second command, [...]
  • What Will You Do - What of the harvest, there it be, ripen grain of humanity. What of the cries, of those lost, all eternity, they bare the cost. What of the souls, that soon shall die, awakened in hell, to groan and sigh. What of your family, that’s still not saved, your mother, father, siblings depraved. What of your children, time moves [...]
  • Children — The Epitome of Purity - Beautiful and lovely, sweet and fine. Stains not there, all divine. Cares in their mind, concern for the soul. Burdens to roll, thoughts behind. Breath scented, smiles wide. Trials unknown, death defied. Innocent children, guileless talk. Spotless life, blameless walk. We love them, sorry to grow. Take time, get to know. Soon gone, memories left. Pictures taken, still bereft. Enjoy, hold. Love, unfold. Gone, taken. Memory, shaken. –Bob Mutch Note: This poems was written with much emotion. While I wasn’t sad or overly happy [...]

  • Embrace Your Trials - Embracing trials with open arms, They waft us up above. They are the chariots sent from God, To purify our love. They come from friends and family, Those that hurt the most. They cause us to walk alone, To ride with angel host. Embrace your lot in this life, Twill all soon be past. Do those things that please the [...]
