Dead Fish Don't Bite Teressa Waters

Poetry is a rhythmic word dance that moves to raise awareness, stir emotion, and promote change. Dead Fish Don't Bite is an expression of joy, sorrow, trials, and victories. It's no secret that life is full of weighty distractions that rob our good intentions and steal our focus. Each day, a plethora of lines and hooks dangle in front of us, vying for our attention. Which is baited? Which is a lure? Dead Fish Don't Bite is a looking glass that reflects your unique situation and draws you to the Master's feet. The spoken word compels you to explore the message, discover the truth, and venture beyond the edge of the hook to take the bait-the gift of salvation. "And He said to them, 'Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men'" (Matthew 4:19). The choice is yours. The hook has been baited, but dead fish don't bite.



The Lord calls heav'n and earth

To witness your choice

Of life and its blessings

Or death and divorce



He says you should choose life

For you and your kids

'Cause the life that you choose

May cause them to live



When we choose the lit path

And live in the land

The Father will bless you

If you follow His plan



You see, when God is your life

You'll do what He tells

... And anchor your heart

... And take down your sails



Deu-te-ron-omy thir-ty

Is black and it's white

The hook has been baited

But...dead fish don't bite
