An Evening Thought By Jupiter Hamon

Salvation comes by Jesus Christ alone,
    The only Son of God;
Redemption now to every one,
    That love his holy Word.
Dear Jesus we would fly to Thee,
    And leave off every Sin,
Thy Tender Mercy well agree;
    Salvation from our King.
Salvation comes now from the Lord,
    Our victorious King;
His holy Name be well adorÕd,
    Salvation surely bring.
Dear Jesus give they Spirit now,
    Thy Grace to every Nation,
That hanÕt the Lord to whom we bow,
    The Author of Salvation.
Dear Jesus unto Thee we cry,
    Give us the Preparation;
Turn not away thy tender Eye;
    We seek thy true Salvation.
Salvation comes from God we know,
    The true and only One;
ItÕs well agreed and certain true,
    He gave his only Son.
Lord hear our penetential Cry:
    Salvation from above;
It is the Lord that doth supply,
    With his Redeeming Love.
Dear Jesus by thy precious Blood,
    The World Redemption have:
Salvation now comes from the Lord,
    He being thy captive slave.
Dear Jesus let the Nations cry,
    And all the People say,
Salvation comes from Christ on high,
    Haste on Tribunal Day.
We cry as Sinners to the Lord,
    Salvation to obtain;
It is firmly fixt his holy Word,
    Ye shall not cry in vain.
Dear Jesus unto Thee we cry,
    And make our Lamentation:
O let our Prayers ascend on high;
    We felt thy Salvation.
Lord turn our dark benighted Souls;
    Give us a true Motion,
And let the Hearts of all the World,
    Make Christ their Salvation.
Ten Thousand Angels cry to Thee,
    Yea louder than the Ocean.
Thou art the Lord, we plainly see;
    Thou art the true Salvation.
Now is the Day, excepted Time;
     The Day of Salvation;
Increase your Faith, do not repine:
    Awake ye every Nation.
Lord unto whom now shall we go,
    Or seek a safe Abode;
Thou hast the Word Salvation too
    The only Son of God.
Ho! every one that hunger hath,
    Or pineth after me,
Salvation be thy leading Staff,
    To set the Sinner free.
Dear Jesus unto Thee we fly;
    Depart, depart from Sin,
Salvation doth at length supply,
    The Glory of our King.
Come ye Blessed of the Lord,
    Salvation greatly given;
O turn your Hearts, accept the Word,
    Your Souls are fit for Heaven.
Dear Jesus we now turn to Thee,
    Salvation to obtain;
Our Hearts and Souls do meet again,
    To magnify thy Name.
Come holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove,
    The Object of our Care;
Salvation doth increase our Love;
    Our Hearts hath felt thy fear.
Now Glory be to God on High,
    Salvation high and low;
And thus the Soul on Christ rely,
    To Heaven surely go.
Come Blessed Jesus, Heavenly Dove,
    Accept Repentance here;
Salvation give, with tender Love;
    Let us with Angels share.

Last of a Dying Breed: The Emcee

What it do, what’s the Deal, what’s the good people, allow me to introduce myself:  I’m  Shane Kidd from Atlanta by way of Dallas, University of North Texas alumni, and I’m a Sociologist . Also I’m an Emcee not rapper though I do rap but I’m not just a rapper because everybody raps, think about it you probably know at least five people who rap.  And this is the thing that irks me about my dream, every Joe Somebody thinks they can rap. Sadly, they can but it’s not good or need works (trust me from the demos I’ve gotten, I haven’t been impressed). The other sad thing people don’t want to hear that, they want to believe they can be the next major thing when maybe they’re just called to be a librarian, or maybe they’ve been designed to do music some other capacity that doesn’t involve them on stage.For me I take this seriously Hiphop, it is an art and should not be taken lightly if you wish to do it, yes I know you hear (insert song at 12 yr old could write) on the radio and think I can do that, but if you don’t know what poly-syllables, alliteration, assonance, and double-entendres are then please find something else to do, not saying lyrical is the only way to do it but be aware of your craft. 

For me, my journey has been making sure I’m dope enough to do this and by hearing from many other solid Emcees affirming me. Note: I said Emcees not my home boys but other Emcees. For me though I understand I may not make a living off this and fine with that but I don’t settle for is being no talent bum trying to be something he’s not. What I do is art, art that’s entertaining, art that conveys truth, beauty, and goodness on a higher thought. Cornel West said it best “The challenge artists face today is whether to be an underground, unheard genius, or to dilute their art for the marketplace”. I’ll gladly take my place as underground and unheard genius but know this while I may not change the world I will at least touch.

When a man is anxious he cannot pray with faith; when he is troubled about the world, he cannot serve his Master, his thoughts are serving himself Charles Spurgeon 
Sun Dec 4
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:26
