'Natural High' by Herman Lee, Sr.

I don't need drugs, I'm on a natural high.
When you believe in God, He'll have you touching the sky.
The devil himself can't stand in your way.
Stay close to God and he'll have no room to play.
I believe that God watches over me.
A wise man knows what the blind can't see.
I read God's Word to ease my mind.
And when trouble comes my way, He's always on time.
God's Word the Bible is in plain view.
God wrote it down, and it's all coming true.

Visualize this, the countdown is here.
If your living without Jesus, it's time to show fear.
The fire that's coming is an everlasting one.
And on the same day, you'll be judged by God's Son.
Listen, don't panic, there's still hope for you.
When you repent of your sins, all things become new.
The world believes only in what they see.
I never saw Jesus, and yet He set me free.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain." (2 Corinthians 5:17-6:1 ESV).

Judgment Day by Herman Lee, Sr.

The day of God's judgment will soon come.
Who can stand against it? No, not one.
On that day you'll face God's only Son.
With nothing to say, and no place to run.
And yet he gave you plenty of time.
You used it up with lustful living and crime.
So listen all sinners, look around.
And know in your heart it's the final countdown.
Think of what happened in Noah's day.
They believed when the flood came and took them away.
Christ can save you, you don't have to be a slave.
Satan will lead you to an early grave.
I thank God every day for turning me around.
Now I'm pointing the way so that He may be found.
God's wisdom tells you what a loser you are.
Stop, or end up in hell with a fallen star.
Satan is open for business, what a busy beast.
Give your heart to Jesus and know true relief.
In a sinner's heart there's an empty space.
That's why Jesus took the sinner's place.
People are calling on Jesus like never before.
The warning is clear, He will soon close the door.

"The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead." (Acts 17:30-31 ESV).

"Believe In Love" - by Herman Lee

This poem was written by my beloved brother, Herman Lee, Sr. Over the past year, he has become a faithful friend of mine. About every Saturday, I see brother Herman appear on the scene, usually when I'm handing out gospel tracts on the corner near the 69th street terminal, or while I'm in a conversation with someone about Christ. Herman will show up. He's always got a poem or a rap he's been thinking about. Here is one, but I wish you could hear him read it himself. This is called "Believe in Love":

When love comes, you're no stranger at all.
When your ears are in tune you'll know when love calls.
You will receive it's warm embrace.
Love is known by it's elegant place.
Don't say this can't be love, I've waited too long.
Embrace love with your heart, thank God and move on.
You're still alive healthy and strong.
And they're still playing your favorite song.
You quickly broad the most luxurious ride.
And the world knows what you feel inside.
Love is like a shadow that fits where it falls.
If you measure up the winner takes all.
No more lonely nights of staying awake.
Because true love shows all others are fake.

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us." (1 John 4:7-12, esv).
