"Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth."
II Timothy 2:15

“SHAME 4 NAME!”
(Acts 5:41)
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

Can you imagine all the shame
They went through for His Name?

Beaten, Torched, Scorched, and Flamed
All because they stood 4 His Name.
Preaching, Teaching, Seeking the same
All because they stood 4 His Name.

For centuries old, people have went and came
All the while enduring the shame.
Going and coming in Jesus’ Name
All the while enduring the shame.

There is no glamour nor fame
When you stand for Jesus’ Name.
Think about when Jesus came
Enduring the cross and the shame.

Think about the time you knelt, came
And gave your life to Jesus’ Name.
Now can you imagine all the shame
He went through just for your name?

“PEACED PIECES!”
(Isaiah 64:8)
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

As a broken piece of pottery
Lies broken on the ground.
Who can piece it back
And make it sound?
Well, maybe that is impossible
And can’t be done.

Maybe your life is like
That broken piece of pottery,
And you have hit bottom ground.
Who can piece your life back
And make you sound?
Well, maybe that is not impossible
And can be done.

Only God can take your life
And give you life anew.
If only you let the Potter bring
Those Pieced Pieces PEACE to you!
Ask Him to be LORD of all
So that on Him you may always call.

Pieced Pieces are now Peaced Pieces.
Your broken heart is now mended together and
Your Pieced Pieces are now Peaced Pieces.

“THE HAND!”
(Jeremiah 1:4-10)
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

How great is the Hand
The Hand of the Lord
We Should Always Hand
The Hand to the World

Great and Mighty Is
The Hand of the Lord
We Should Always Lend the Hand
The Hand to the World

Every Day We Fall Into
The Hand of the Lord
He Picks Us Up To, Through
The Hand of the Lord

Jesus Bears the Scars
The Hand of the Lord
His Scars Heal Our Wounds
We Should Hand It to the World

Just Hold Onto the Hand
The Hand of the Lord
Each Day I’ll Stand
And Hold the Hand of the Lord!

“GOD’S GOLDEN THREAD!”
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

Have you ever seen a couple wed?
The bridegroom anxiously standing there,
For his bride adorned in beautiful apparel.
Ready to be bound by GOD’S GOLDEN THREAD!

How ‘bout a sinner who willingly said,
“I believe Jesus died on the Cross and arose again,
I confess and repent all of my sin.”
Saved and forever bound by GOD’S GOLDEN THREAD!

When ‘ole satan deceitfully has fed
Doubt of salvation into a believer’s mind.
The Bible reassures that in Jesus you’ll find
Believer’s eternal security bound by GOD’S GOLDEN
THREAD!

As the prodigal son’s rebellion made him fled.
The fund ended, the friend’s left, and sin’s burden was
heavy.
Returning home, he restored fellowship with his daddy.
By Grace you are bound by GOD’S GOLDEN THREAD!

The violent storms of life have left you for dead.
“Lord, carest though not that we perish?” you cry.
As a Christian, you won’t perish nor die.
Always safe, sound, and bound by GOD’S GOLDEN
THREAD!

Soon the trumpet sound shall awake the dead.
The Bridegroom coming for His bride.
In Heaven, she will always dwell … abide.
Forever and ever bound by GOD’S GOLDEN THREAD!

“GOD’S MASTERFUL DESIGN”
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

God’s Masterful Design;
Infinite in time;
And Gloriously Fine!

Took each mi-nute space;
And delicately put it in place;
With a Smile on His Beautiful Face!

With six days to spare;
God created with care;
Every thing that did and didn’t breathe air!

The seventh day created for rest;
So creation could enjoy God’s Best;
Garden of Eden found sinless ness as quest!

Adam and Eve disobeyed their Almighty God;
He disciplined them with His Stern Rod;
Sinfulness in man-kind began to trod!

God designed a Salvation Plan;
Found in Jesus Christ the Perfect Man;
Where blood from His Cross slowly ran!

Once and for all sin’s price was paid;
Victory over death was made;
Triumphantly Jesus walked out of the Grave!

Believers all over still proclaim;
“Jesus Christ in your life wants to reign;
Believe in Him to erase sin’s stains!”

His child you will forever be;
From now throughout all eternity;
Think and decide what your decision will be

NO OR KNOW PEACE!”
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

Something the world longs for, PEACE!
At times wandering if it will ever be
Because life’s waves are like an unruly sea.
Smashing, bashing, crashing . . . Still no PEACE.

Though surrounded by much confusion,
There stands One . . I AM.
Spotless and pure stands the Precious Lamb,
Something the world thinks is an illusion.

No . . . No. . . No illusion I say.
Through all those tears you’ve cried
The Precious Lamb, JESUS, for you He died?
Believe in your hear, and with your lips pray,

LORD Jesus I ask to forgive all my sin
Be LORD of my life and my Only Savior.
Your Word I will read, your will I favor
And write my life’s story with your pen.

Something the world longs for, PEACE!
I will share about the PEACE I’ve found
And a Savior Who is Sound.
Calling, pleading, asking . . . Do you know PEACE?

“MY VOCABULARY!”
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

In a meeting with McRaney
He stated that my vocabulary
Needed to be stretched by a dictionary.
To which I disagree.

The Gospel is simple, you see
For sinners from sea to shining sea.
No matter what the world may feed,
Jesus can meet each and every need.

The Simple Gospel I will share
With people I meet here and there.
Regardless if my words are rare,
I will preach God’s Word everywhere.

Lay people, students, and even faculty
Would do well to heed
And plant the Seed
On behalf of the Cross and Calvary!

“10 Commandments!”
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

GOD said . . . No gods before me!
No ifs, ands, or buts commanded He three.

GOD said . . . No graven image!
Angels, people, nothing in this pilgrimage.

GOD said . . . Don’t take My Name in vain!
Cursing, swearing; the tongue can cause much pain.

GOD said . . . Keep Sabbath day Holy!
Trust and obey Him solely.

GOD said . . . Honor thy father and mother!
A promise to enjoy life longer.

GOD said . . . Thou shalt not kill!
Heed the warning; submit to His will.

GOD said . . . Thou shalt not commit adultery!
Fasten thine eyes and heart on the Lord solely.

GOD said . . . Thou shalt not steal!
In everything be the real deal.

GOD said . . . Thou shalt not bear false witness!
Pray for thy neighbor; don’t spread sinfulness.

GOD said . . . Thou shalt not covet!
Strive for contentness and remember it.

“LIFE!”
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

Think about this thing called “LIFE!”
Wake up, eat, work, sleep . . . so on;
The same routine generations have known.
Daily going about this thing called “LIFE!”

Many lives overwhelmed by heartache and strife.
Hopelessly going down a dead end road.
Emptiness, loneliness, sinfulness . . . a heavy load.
Wandering through this thing called “LIFE!”

Television, movies, and music promise a good “LIFE!”
Drugs, alcohol, sex, and raging sin;
Short term fun that will definitely end.
Partying constantly in this thing called “LIFE!”

Are you tired of putting up a fight?
Deceived into believing Satan’s old lie?
Losing a battle that leaves you alone to die?
Barely able to survive in this thing called “LIFE!”

Ready to surrender to JESUS your sinful “LIFE?”
Repent, ask for forgiveness, and sincerely pray,
“Dear JESUS, be LORD and SAVIOR of my life today.
In THEE I trust in this thing called ‘LIFE!’”

The sinless LAMB JESUS willingly gave His “LIFE!”
For the sins of you and all mankind.
Arose the third day; so, in Him you’ll find
Eternal Salvation from/in this thing called “LIFE!”

“MY SINCERE PRAYER”
By Jad Jamal Khalaf

LORD, Thank You for saving me,
Hearing me,
Answering me, and
Using me!

You are the Potter and I am the clay.
Mold me and make me to follow your way!
Keep your Hand upon me, lest I stray.

Guide, Comfort, Protect through each passing day.
May I seek Your Guidance when I pray.
Knowing You will always have something to say,

“My work of art is on the world’s display.
For Lost sinners Jesus did pay.
Knowing the Blood still saves today.”

Your burden on Jesus you may lay.
Realizing the Potter is molding unique clay.
Keep your eyes on Him, you’ll never stray.

Point others to Him through each passing day.
Seeking to listen when you pray.
Knowing He has something to say,

“Well Done thou good and faithful servant, you followed
MY WAY!”
