Sometimes we must go it alone
To be great is to be
misunderstood
An American poet spoke for
the good
Of men and women who
shun the Throne…
But to attain the crown they
walked alone!!!
They had no one to pat
them on the back,
Or friend to silence the
attacks…
They were guided by a Silent
Hand
That led them to their
Promised Land.
Sometimes, the Watchman
feel all alone…
When I’m working late nights
at home
To serve my God and fellow
man
by spreading the gospel
through the land…
But then the Spirit whispers in
my ear:
“You’re not alone—your God is
here…”
“I created you and gave you
the task…
Keep working son—and soon you’ll be home: TO REST!!!”
When Time reach Eternity—
You’re coming home to live with me!!!

One of Jesus’s Last Words to Believers were “OCCUPY UNTIL I RETURN”
You say you are a Believer but
you’re polluting the world,
With Transgenderism
“Pretending boys are girls.”
You promote Abortion and
men marrying men.
Don’t be caught doing this
When Christ return again…
Our Loving God Word will not
fail…
He will judge Sin!!!
If you’re helping the Evil Doers
His Word will judge you.
And one day soon, you’ll say:
“The Watchman words were
true”

The road to the Celestial City
Robert Frost spoke of the
road not taken
Christ spoke of the roads to
Heaven and Hell
But if you’re bear with the
Watchman a moment,
I’ll speak of another trail…
There is a road to a City
A city not made by hand—
A City the Lamb is building
And He’s building it for Man.
He started building it
When He died on the Cross
And the Kingdom of Darkness
Bowed to HIM after their
battle was lost…
Jesus had taken the keys
From the Devil in Hell
And the Kingdom of Darkness
had lost dominion…
And once again on planet
earth
A Second Adam reigned
and dwelt.
So the Lamb started buildings
a City
A city not made by hand…
And the Lamb is building it—
To dwell eternally with Man!!!
You too can dwell in this City
If you’ll repent, hearken and
pause, long enough,
To hear in the Spirit—
The Master’s CALL!!!
By Robert L. Shepherd Jr.
Their Time to steal, kill and destroy is ending
The kingdom of darkness is alarm and desperately aware
That their time of judgement is drawing near…
So they have doubled in their
demonic fight
To use darkness to curse and
quench the LIGHT.
But the Light will always
shine:
Until Eternity vanquish Time!!!
And even in ETERNITY
The Light of the world will
SHINE FOR YOU AND ME!!!
For Jesus is the Light, you
see…
That Eternally shines on souls
Set free!!!
By Robert L Shepherd Jr.
Not by might (human strength) Nor by power (human ability) but by my Spirit saith the Lord
I tried on my own but I fail…
To reach my goal I couldn’t
avail.
But God saved me and filled
me with His Spirit
And then, by God’s Grace
I did it!!!
I started loving my fellow man
When someone fell down
I lent a hand
to lift my brother off the
ground
So once again he could Stand
And live his life—be a man!
I no longer could lie and steal
When God in me His Spirit
filled.
And daily like a man insane;
I praise the Lord and bless
His Name!!!
And for all eternity…
I’ll praise my God for saving
and filling me!!!
Poem
By Robert L Shepherd Jr
Don’t throw in the towel—DON’T GIVE UP!!!
The ref counts 8 and you’re on the mat
Bloody, beaten and bruised…
You’re in a life and death match which
you didn’t even choose.
Your ancestor Adam put you in this deadly game;
When he teamed up with Satan and chose death,
sin and shame…
Satan, the snake, tricked Adam—
He promised him he could be wise and win
But he corrupted Adam and he filled man’s heart with sin!!!
Now you’re out for the count
Naked and bloody on the floor
But Christ the Lamb of God has come—for your life to restore…
Yes, it’s late—you’re on the mat and you’re poised to die…
But like the thief on Calvary’s Cross:
GIVE THE LAMB OF GOD A TRY!!!
By Robert L. Shepherd Jr.
LORD HELP US TO KNOW AND REMEMBER THAT WE’RE IN A FIGHT
This is my prayer both day and night
Lord help us to remember that
we’re in a fight.
And our fight is not with flesh and blood…
Gunshots or noise is rarely heard.
The cosmic fight that we are in—
Is with spiritual wickedness;
and not with men.
No knife or gun can win this fight…
We need God’s Spirit and His might…
To win this fight we must fast and pray
And speak God’s Word
in faith each day!!!
Lord help Your children both day and night
To discern and know—we’re in a fight…
By Robert L. Shepherd Jr.
THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER TOLD
The Watchman wants to tell you a story tonight:
There was a place under the heavens where an angry and wicked old giant serpent entered in—called planet earth.
And after he had taken it over; naming himself the god of the world!!!
Earth was a place where man’s God had placed him and his wife in; to happily dwell—and be fruitful—and have dominion over.
Now this place had become void and dreary and the creatures dwelling therein were no longer happy.
In the Kingdom of God, the Godhead made a decision…even before the foundation of the world.
The Son, sitting on His Golden Throne beside His Father said, “I will go down to earth and be born a man so that I can be touched by the feelings of man’s infirmities and DELIVER HIM by shedding my precious blood on an old Rugged Roman Cross…”
This is the oldest love story ever told and the Watchman believes it to be Truth and the GOSPEL!!!
By the Watchman
WHEN I DIE???
When I die, bury me and say,
“Well, he is dead”
Then thank and praise the Lord—for the life I’ve led.
I’ve lived a life of honor;
Loving God and serving man…
And informing the whole world;
“He’s coming back again!!!”
The Watchman grew old and tired
His body grew weak but his heart,
Grew more in compassion;
As he fervently served, both man and GOD…
He slumbered and he labored
Prevailing in every fight.
Preaching Sound Doctrine;
And during what is right.
The Watchman grew tired and weary
But his tender heart;
Grew more in warmth and kindness…
LOVING HIS FELLOWMAN AND GOD!!!
By the Watchman
THE HOUR IS LATE
I WATCH THE CLOCK ON THE WALL
AS KINGDOMS RISE AND KINGDOMS FALLS
AND I CONTEMPLATES WITHIN MYSELF:
“IN HEAVEN’S NAME—WHAT WILL BE LEFT?”
WHO’S BUILDING NATIONS AND WHO’S TEARING THEM DOWN
AND WHOSE ORCHESTRATING THE DESTRUCTION SOUND?
IS IT MAN, THE DEVIL ARE IS IT GOD?
ARE IS IT THE WORKS OF EVIL HEARTS?
OR IS IT WICKED MEN WHO LET EVIL REIGN;
BY PLAYING IN THE DEVIL’S GAME
AND ALLOWING THE GOD OF THIS WORLD;
TO CORRUPT THEIR HEARTS—AND SENSES DULL?
Seek TRUTH tonight and you will see
The hour is not too late for thee!!!
By Robert L. Shepherd Jr.
LORD I BELIEVE
I believe your Words and promises
I can have just what you said.
I can see life in those things in me
That others deemed were dead…
Today I am a new creation…
Old things have passed away
The pain is gone and the search for home
Have vanished from me, today.
I am established and settled now
And I know who and what I am.
I am a soul; once stained by sin
Washed white as snow—by the blood of the LAMB!!!
Yes, Jesus shed His Blood for me!!!
I came to Him—and NOW I’M FREE…
By Robert L. Shepherd Jr.
Saints walk by faith and not by sight
Sometimes blacker than darkness dims my light
So I walk by faith and not by sight.
The Light of the world is in my heart
Piercing through the gloom of dark…
So may be my circumstances and hope blithe…
Within my heart shines a Light.
This Light in me will always shine
Even when darkness is most sublime,
Because my Lord and Savior dwells in me
And from darkness HE hast set me free!!!
My friend, I pray that you’ll seek to ignite, obtain and preserve;
The love of CHRIST in your heart today….
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!!!
By Robert L. Shepherd Jr.
I AM TIRED AND WEARY BUT I WILL NOT QUIT
The road ahead is narrow and long
And many hills, traps and barriers I must ascend before I make it home.
But I am being propelled forward—by a power deep within.
That is why I call my Helper—my Guide and my Friend…
At times, I grow weary—and I know not what to do
But the Holy Ghost, my Helper, guides and see me through.
By God’s Grace I will make it—I don’t know how or when?
But I know through my Guide and Comforter that soon I will win!!!
And God the Father—who praised and crowned His Only Son
When JESUS cried “It is finished!!!”
Shall bid me, “Well Done!!!”
By Robert L. Shepherd Jr.
GOD IS WORKING THINGS OUT FOR ME.
I am in a battle to set souls free…
And God is working things out for me.
I’ve prayed for the sick, the captured and lost
But sometimes I see no results—but God has a time and a cause…
Every one of my prayers will set captives free
For God has anointed and commissioned me:
To “Go into all the world and preach His Word.”
And faith will come when they have heard!!!
Yes, I grow weary, when I am walking by sight.
Until the Holy Spirit reminds me; “Only walking by faith is right.”
As black is my journey and as dark it may be,
God is working things out for me!!!
And through me, my God will heal the sick
and save the lost
As I go forth teaching, preaching and bearing the Cross…
