LYRICS    
VERSE 1
Porch .... Light's .... ON: ....................... WELCOME Beacon.
"Come in with me" invites my porch light beacon. ...... Without
one word, you clearly see: I REALLY WANT YOU here with me.
As the joke goes, what you see .... is what you get. ....... My
home is open to you, though it's not perfect...... I
put my porch light ON for you: ...................... I WELCOME YOU.

VERSE 2
Porch .... Light of my heart's ON. ......... WELCOME Beacon.
"Come in with me" invites my ...... heart's beacon. ...... My
invite stays always for you, right now although my home's a mess.
As the joke goes, what you see .... is what I am. ....... My
home is open to You, LORD, though it's not perfect...... My
heart's porch light is ON for You, God......... I WELCOME YOU.

VERSE 3
Porch .... Light of my heart's ON. ......... ALWAYS for God.
"Come in with me" invites my ...... soul to God. ...... My
invite stays though I'm dismayed My sins have left my place a mess.
It's NO JOKE, I HATE my sins: I wish my home were clean. But
my heart's open to You, LORD, Please cleanse it of sins..... My
heart's porch light is ALWAYS ON for You, God, Yahweh! ... WELCOME!

 God's SUPPORTING WORDS:   

John 14: 15  - JESUS SPEAKING:
“If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And <THEN> I will pray the Father,
& He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth,
whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him,  for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you."
 
=======================================================================================
LYRICS Story:     
This song's Idea started at a campground's cabins: I stayed a week & observed:
The Cleaning crew would put on a cabin's porch light when finished. Only then were
newly registered customers allowed to enter a cabin.

It started me to thinking of "OLD DAYS": After my parents moved from a big city,
helpful country "folks" told them "ANY time you see the porch light on at ANY house,
you're welcome to come in for a sit down" ( a visit:).
Then: Started thinking about how
we sometimes think we have to be CLEAN (free of sins) before inviting GOD in....

TIMING and PICKUP (PU) :             
REFERENCE :                         JOURNAL:   29-022
Dedicated to our LORD God, 13 Nov 2015 renewed 1-9-2016

LYRICS    

* Throughout song, pronounced “por-key-pine”

1
How do you love a porcupine*, 

an angry porcupine, a painful porcupine, full of
sharped barbed quills ready to shoot at you?
Carefully! [Carefully!] Carefully! [and VERY carefully!]

…............................................................. We suggest  PRAYERS!

2
How do you show love to a porcupine, an upset porcupine, defensive porcupine, full of
sharped barbed quills ready to shoot at you?
Carefully [and PRAYER-fully!] Carefully! [VERY prayerfully!]
…............................................................... Remember PRAYERS!

3
God never SAID it would be EASY to love His
scared and cautious, sometimes furious animals.
STILL He calls us to be compassionate and KIND, for He
calls us to REFLECT Him – The Holy, Righteous God. And He'll
help us as He said: Second Corinthians 3:18 >> REFLECT GOD.

4
Jesus never SAID it would be EASY to love His
scared and cautious, sometimes furious PEOPLE.
STILL He de-MANDS, as in First John 4 that we love EVEN
Porcupine People, which DOES reflect Holy God, who loved
us..... YOU before you knew Him, and demands YOUR love for ALL people!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
God's SUPPORTING WORDS:   
God warns: If you won't love Porcupine People, you don't really love HIM:
We are not to FEAR them but to LOVE them. First John 4: 18 on:
“There is no fear in love; but Perfect Love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. 
But he who fears has NOT been made perfect in love. 
We love Him [GOD] because HE first loved US.
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; 
for he who does not love his brother whom he HAS seen, 
how can he love God whom he has NOT seen?
[VERSE 21:] And this COMMANDMENT we have from Him:
that he who loves God must love his brother also.”
=======================================================================================
 
LYRICS Story:     
This song was written after I realized what God's Word in Genesis 9:2,
“And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every
bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea.” > Because God gave permission for humans to eat animals, birds fish, He gave all those – including porcupines – an instinct to FEAR humans.... for their own protection. There's no reason for us to NOT love any creatures who act in fear toward us:
Even un-loveable People. Forgive or be  NOT forgiven  by God.

TIMING and PICKUP (PU) :    VERSE  4/4,    CHORUS  3/4    No pickups         
REFERENCE :                         JOURNAL:   30-040
Dedicated to YHWH GOD, 19 April 2016

LYRICS    
Praying the seats … of chairs... and pews:
Will we walk aisles, and pray for God to protect
those who walk in, to hear God's Truth from
Satan who HATES them, yet comes to church too: <see John 10:10>
Eager to seize the seeds of God's Word, sown while people sit in these seats .....
Do we CARE enough to “Pray The Seats” ???
 
CHORUS
Do we care enough to give up TIME to PRAY THE SEATS before meetings?
Do we believe God's own Son who WARNED that the Enemy of God SHALL
TRY to SNATCH God's WORD seeds?
IF we TRUST that we NEED God's help,
won't we fervently call to Him, Caringly PRAY THE SEATS ???
 
Praying the seats … of chairs... and pews:
Will we walk aisles, and pray for God to provide
His own Wisdom to those who teach, encourage
them while Satan tries to Deceive. For
Jesus said Satan tries to seize God's Word, sown even in church, in these seats...
Do we CARE enough to “Pray The Seats” ??? >> CHORUS

Praying the seats … of chairs... and pews:
Will we walk aisles, and pray for God to protect
all from giving in to temptations to
focus on Self and hurt feelings in here. For
Jesus said Satan has his own harvest, to seize away God's Word in church....
Will we CARE enough to “Pray The Seats” ??? 
>> CHORUS
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
God's SUPPORTING WORDS:    
And JESUS said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? “The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts." (Mark 4:13-15)

JESUS said: “The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved." (Luke 8:11-12)

JESUS said: “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside." (Mark 13: 18-19) 
=======================================================================================
 
LYRICS Story:     
I ran a huge monitor board for a big multi-ethnic church in 2007-08, and got there
an hour before service to do a 40 minute setup & mic checks. When I began, the prayer team had over a dozen Prayer Warriors coming to PRAY THE SEATS (first time I'd heard that phrase) before EVERY service. As months went by, fewer & fewer people were coming to pray. 
 
Two years later, they were down to 2 people who usually could come.... and the church underwent a *horrendous*,  not-to-be-described upheaval that literally splintered the wonderful fellowship we had once known into multiple mini churches. 
WHEN WE STOP PRAYING.... 
SATAN GETS A WIN. Or MANY wins.
