Prose And Pryoetry-Writings By Danny Pryor

A WHOLE LOT OF SHAKING!

No, this is not an accolade to a rock and roll song! It is a paraphrase of what the Bible says will be taking place in the last days before Jesus rules on this earth.

"...the heavens and the earth shall shake..." Joel 3:16b* "Which [Who] shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble." Job 9:6 "And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth." Isaiah 2:17-19

"And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible." "Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger." Isaiah 13:11,13

"For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations ..." Haggai 2:6-7a "...the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard..." Isaiah 24:18c-20a "Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven." Hebrews 12:26

These several verses of scripture plainly reveal that there will be a lot of shaking taking place in the future -- probably the near future! And the shaking will not be people dancing, but the doings of Almighty God! We need to serve Him with reverance and godly fear (respect). No matter how things look, the LORD is still in control and His WORD will come to pass.

In the book of Revelation it prophecies: "...there was a great earthquake..." "And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places." Rev.6:12a,14 "...there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great." "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found." Rev.16:18b,20

I certainly do not want to be on this earth when all of the shaking is going on! We who believe in a pre-tribulation rapture feel we will not be, if we are prepared to meet Christ when He appears to catch away His bride (the church) in the air. Only those who are looking for Jesus will see Him at that time. Hebrews 9:28

Later, after the shaking and other great tribulation events, Jesus will return with His saints (not to be confused with angels) to this earth to reign for a thousand years. Jude 14-15; Rev.20:6 At that part of His second coming, every eye shall see Him! Rev.1:7

"Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof." Psalm 46:2-3 Praise God for His delivering and keeping power through Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior!

*All scriptures are quoted from the King James Version of the Holy Bible.

(Writings By Danny Pryor)

At the base of the dam there formed a break Soon to enlarge the structure to shake What a frightening sight--oh such power and might A torrent of water came pouring through, murky brown, not pretty blue What destruction it caused as with powerful jaws Off went debris in every way, oh what mayhem occurred that day The gigantic rift sent everything adrift Swirling and churning the waters roared, overturning boats and all aboard A terrible site to personally behold, a loss of lives both young and old The tragic scene seems cruel and mean, but life's not always a beautiful dream We must take the hard knocks along with the pleasure, Knowing that someone loves us beyond measure So live your life with faith and joy; think not it's just an evil ploy Anyway, soon, your life may be over And you can be knee-deep in Heaven's clover Looking upon the Savior's face, if you've received His amazing grace Jesus, I thank you for what you have done And I know you'll be waiting when my life here is done

I WOULDN'T TRADE WHAT I HAVE FOR WHAT I HAD

I wouldn't trade what I have for what I had I wouldn't trade the good for the bad In the past I've had heartaches that left me so sad So I wouldn't trade what I have for what I had I've had my share of troubles and woe There's now many places I don't want to go And there is no need to dwell in the past Only what's done for Jesus will last So I'll look to the future with a heart that's so glad And I wouldn't trade what I have for what I had I wouldn't trade what I have for the world With all of it's glamour and pleasures unfurled It's tried to allure me since I was a lad But I wouldn't trade what I have for what I had I now have Jesus to guide me along He's put in my heart a brand new song I'm oh so happy while many are mad I wouldn't trade what I have for what I had

He came to die I came to live I came to take He came to give I was born dead in sin Jesus was born all Life within Now I am free through faith in Him And all that He did to forgive my sins Now I can live in peace with joy No more guilts that constantly annoy Now I am free to go to Heaven Forgiven of sins -- seventy times seven!

My story started long ago When in my lungs life's breath did flow I was told I was swatted in a certain place I was also told it was not my face Anyway, it did the job For I began to breathe and sob But soon my tears were wiped away I'd entered into a brand new day Life's road has been rough in certain places But I've also experienced special graces I've always had a roof above And known a family's precious love No matter which course my life has taken I never have once been completely forsaken In my youth I had ups and downs And weighed less than a hundred pounds But I had energy to run and play And that I did about every day I liked to hunt and fish and swim I'm sure that helped to keep me slim I played baseball on a little league team But to play professionally was only a dream I was a pitcher and could throw a curve But the Lord called me, Himself to serve So I couldn't just go my way I wanted to serve Him everyday When I was nineteen God called me to preach There were many lost souls that needed to be reached I accepted the call to follow the Lord To reject and rebel I couldn't afford And to live for Him was all He asked That seemed to be a reasonable task Especially when Jesus died for me Yes, shed His blood to set me free I couldn't say "no" to that kind of love Which could only come from Heaven above

What do writers do -- they write When do they write -- day and night Where do they write -- almost any site How do they write -- some by hand, others type Why do they write -- some for construction, others for destruction, Some out of love, others out of spite
Most, because it's their delight

When thoughts flow -- speakers speak When thoughts flow -- writers write When thoughts flow -- editors edit When thoughts flow -- publishers publish These things happen, I know -- when thoughts flow Some flow like a river, others like a brook Some become a poem, others become a book

On a misty morning there came a chill
But a little bird sang at will
He flopped his tiny wings to fly
But the little bird was soon to die
Someone had shot it for a sport
Oh, what a sad thing to report
It tried so hard but couldn't fly
A boy had left it there to die
But soon its struggle was all over
It breathed its last there in some clover
Human life is also uncertain
Many with death they keep flirtin'
But someday it will come for certain
Yes, one day death will take its toll
Is your name on the Master's roll?
