a work in progress

I was, a little puzzled as I left the group,
Out on my own, or inside, I tried to think it through,
Finally, I went, took the next step, walked down the path,
Then it all unfolded, blossomed into a beautiful story.

I was a little lonely, less than holy,
Crucified with conviction
The pressure was on me, to find the right key...
I need Your vision.

Oh I am sad enough to perish

O Body that bleeds

Are we, as a Body of Christ, not yet sick of our overindulgence in ourselves? Are we not yet tired of our gluttonous intake of as many articles of literature as we can possibly get our mouths around regarding marriage. We focus so much on marriage before it happens, and very little after the fact. We are so focused on marriage that we run after it as hard, if not harder and faster, than the pagans do....

Thus, though our Father knows that we need certain things (food, drink, clothes...not marriage...), we continue to run after this first instead of seeking His Kingdom and His Righteousness. All these things, therefore, are not added unto us....and why should they be...we don't deserve anything in the first place.

Let alone Him already having told us what we don't deserve (salvation found in faith through the grace of Jesus Christ manifested through obedience) needing to be our first place focus...and it's not


Pray that we change in response to His great love toward us.

Wisdom

Stuck in line in my mind checking what's the time,
I want to know the answer that I just can't seem to find.
Wondering is so sublime, but definites are not so kind,
Decision-making often ends in doubts about divine.

Strap an answer to your name, and maybe I'll take it as my own,
Too lazy to seek the truth, so I'll make your efforts home,
Give me your answer smooth, with none of confusion's foam,
Let me say it in a sentence, distilled from ancient tome.

I hate the building blocks of wisdom, there are so many to discern,
Isn't it all about the answers? What's all this I have to learn?
Life would be much better if we were attached to strings, affirmed,
Instead we walk upright, with snapped strings, spurned.

What a foolish boy who seeks not wisdom and hates it's bitter taste,
Though in the end Wisdom says vanity is even wisdom's fate.

Judgment

When the fire flies down, no one will stand firm,
No argument will hold fast when the tongue goes numb,
When all minds go dumb, struck in fear of the trouble come,
When the wrath is poured out over iniquity's great sum.
When the sky lights up, and screams are offered up,
No man will offer up and command to let him up,
Because all will know that justice is satisfied,
When the souls of sinners are sent to hell ratified,
Themselves, knowing they have sinned.
A tearful day indeed when they're banished to that end...

Living to die, dying to self, I try
To give every breath that I breathe, You help
me, sustain a filled life,
Full of the Holy Spirit, Full of what's Right.
Brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers,
Everybody who says they love the Lord, that bothers
to love Him and follow every single command,
Sure, eternal life is not built on the works of man,
But He still demands, that if you love you stand
Still in His will as an obedient fam-ily
I'm just speaking candidly,
Not so often randomly,
Because He's branded me
To love you to death, but I pray and rap for your lives,
Hold the Lord in fear, that He, in His love, provides
Mercy to give you hearts that repent in despair,
Because you sold your soul to the prince of the air,
But his promises aren't there,
They evaporate like warm air,
If you follow his path, you'll end up lunch in his lair,
So make your decision quick,
Drop your nets and run,
To the One and Only Lord, our Father God's Son,
Jesus the Perfect Lamb, the Rose of Sharon,


Lord hear our cry,
Listen to our call,
We're coming to You with nothing but all
That You gave us in the first place,
Laid out in the worst way,
I'm now prostrate on my dirt face,
And you were offered the gall that had the worst taste.

O God, that You would die for us,
That you would even cry for us?
Who are we to think we are more than dust?
When we lie with the phrase "in God we trust."
It's a lie that we perpetuate,
Heading straight for the evildoer's fate.
"Lord, Lord, did we not.." nope you didn't
I never knew you when you were sinnin'.
So why do you keep spinnin'
Telling men they're saved when they do what's forbidden?
I told you this gate and road were hidden,
Life' not promised by a prayer you prayed when livin'.
It's by doing the will of God in Heaven,
Love him fully and edify the brethren.
Preach the Good News may it spread like leaven,
Forgive men when they sin seventy times seven,
Repent because His Kingdom's come,
In a brief moment it will all be done,
So focus on His will for this battle's been won.
Death is over and life has begun.
