About this ebook
Ode to Jesus Christ is a three volume set of poetry books totaling 415 poems in all, authored by Darl Dinger and his friend, Louise Carter, over the past 36 years.
Anyone paying attention today can see that many things are not right with our world today. Our world is ruled by lies, greed, endless corruption, wickedness and sin. These two poets make sense out of this unusual era in all of world history known as the final days of end times of Bible prophecy. They offer solace, wisdom and healing solutions for those struggling to make sense out of our world gone mad. This volume, Volume Two, contains yet another 140 poems touching on man's sinful nature, our shared and desperate need for a savior from ourselves, and the healing that only comes from genuine confession, repentance and a turning away from the wrongs we have done to others that inevitably result in broken relationships, loneliness and pain in our lives. The path to healing and eternal life only comes through faith (trust) in Jesus Christ, the son of God, who came to earth to testify to the truth and to pay the price we all deserve to pay for our sinful ways so that those of us who can and who do, might live in right relationship with God forever in a new earth free from sin and pain.
These poets repeatedly point the way to life's wisdom through reading and obedience to the commandments of God's word, the Bible, in its entirety. Listen to these wise, humble and godly sages whose poems talk to our hearts. Hear Darl's Holy Spirit-inspired warnings of a watchman on the wall that while we still have time to turn to Christ as lord and savior over our wills and our lives, that time is now very short.

Forward
Darl ordered a copy of my ground-breaking book, Making Sense Out of a World Gone Mad: A Roadmap for God’s Elect Living in the Final Days of the End Times, earlier this year. In early June I first spoke by phone with Darl and we both instantly recognized how much we share in common in terms of our committed Biblical Christian faith and our shared understanding that we are living in the final days of the end times of Bible prophecy. It was during that first phone call that Darl revealed to me his penchant for writing poems. He even read a few of them to me over the phone. I was so taken by what I heard that I asked him to send me a few more for me to read. He told me that he has been writing poetry about his faith in and relationship with Jesus Christ ever since he became a born again Christian in 1982 and that he had written over 200 poems over the last 30 plus years, in concert with Louise Carter, a very dear friend of his and his wife, Barbara. After reading the poems Darl sent me, I proposed to him that I help him publish his poems so that others might be able to be blessed by them too.
This work of three volumes of Darl’s and Louise’s poetry is the result of this collaboration, which has been on a fast track to get completed as soon as possible. The reason is simple. As I reveal in my book, the great tribulation foretold in Daniel 12 and Matthew 24 for thousands of years is now over. This means that Yahushua (Jesus Christ) will be returning to gather the elect to Himself in the clouds in the very near future, as I prove beyond a reasonable doubt in my rather unusual and challenging book. These poems are intended for God’s elect to bless them. Darl and I are of the elect and we hope you are too. If not, sadly, these poems will not be of much blessing to you. These poems tell a story that the non-elect simply cannot hear.
When I first encountered Darl’s and Louise’s poems, 75 of them were in word processed form, but the remainder were still in handwritten form which I have entered on my own to speed up the compilation process to discover that we are working with over 300 poems that were simply too numerous to organize into a single volume. Hence, we have opted to split them into three volumes for easier handling and reading.
Darl and Louise met one another in church years ago and became friends when they discovered that they were both amateur poets. Darl’s wife Barbara and he took care of Louise during the last ten years of her life until she died in 2014. Louise always told Darl that she knew that he would have a book of his poems published one day and asked him to include some of her poems in it. Darl promised he would, but frankly, he never dreamed that his poems would ever be published. Now thanks to Darl’s years of creating his poems, and my editing, compiling and publishing expertise, that dream can now become a reality. I am blessed to be a part of that creative process for Darl, Barbara and Louise.
As you read these poems, try to see and hear them with your heart. I think you will find, as I have, that God has clearly inspired them through Darl and Louise to reach our hearts in these very troubling days in which we now find ourselves living. They offer hope, perspective and wisdom on what the elect are able to do to get right with God and His son, the Christ. I can honesty tell you that God inspired my book through me that speaks to the mind, but often a story or poetry, inspired by God, can speak to the heart in ways that a piece of non-fiction writing can never achieve. May Darl and Louise’s gifts bless you and lead you closer to God and to Jesus Christ in these last days. Make way for the second coming of the Lord! Because He is coming very soon, whether we’re ready or not!
May the Holy Spirit move with power upon those who read this book. This is Darl’s and my fervent prayer. For where two or three are gathered together in the name of Christ, He is there in the midst of us.

Lost Sheep Found
Woe to you preachers
you lay pastors too
when you stand before Christ
then what will you do?
––––––––
You preach a short sermon
then you laugh and joke
you quench the Holy Spirit
you make me choke.
––––––––
People are dying
many going to hell
because of your lies
you know right well.
––––––––
Start preaching the truth
all our politicians are liars
when they come to their end
they will be stoking hell’s fires.
––––––––
They love high offices
they love all the graft
when they go to the bank
they stand there and laugh.
––––––––
Your lawyers are liars
your judges are thieves
but when they face Jesus Christ
they will all bow their knees.
––––––––
You were given a Constitution
I gave you a Bill of Rights
I Jesus gave you freedom
now why don’t you fight?
––––––––
If you will stand on my word
if you are honest and true
then I Jesus Christ
will tell you what to do.
––––––––
You are the last nation
before I return
go read My word
teach your children to learn.
––––––––
Fear not man
for what can they do?
My coming is soon
I will protect you.
––––––––
Now as I close this poem
my words you should heed
there is a pamphlet
I would have you read.
––––––––
Don’t believe all the lies
that in this world abound
the name of this book
is Lost Sheep Found.

A Song: On Bended Knees
Oh Lord I come
on bended knees
You sent your Son
to die for me.
––––––––
He came to earth
to die on Calvary
and it is His blood
that sets me free.
––––––––
And yes Oh Lord
when he came to earth
He offered me
my second birth.
––––––––
You said that if
I would only believe
in His name
I would be set free.
––––––––
Now Oh Lord, I come
on bended knees
it is your Son Jesus
I want to please.
––––––––
To share the love
that He has shown
so that when He returns
He will take me home.
––––––––
Oh Lord I come
on bended knees
I thank you Jesus
for setting me free.
––––––––
Now Oh Lord
I have one last request
to help me forgive
and do my best.
––––––––
I want to share the love
that You have shown
so that when you return
You will take me home.
––––––––
Yes Oh Lord
I come on bended knees
and I thank You Jesus
for saving me.
