Sometime we show Mercy from Fear
Because our own judgement is near
Sometimes we show Mercy from Pride
To boast we have nothing to hide
To those who receive it’s the same
As long as they stay in the game
Sometime we show Mercy from Fear
Because our own judgement is near
Sometimes we show Mercy from Pride
To boast we have nothing to hide
To those who receive it’s the same
As long as they stay in the game
As we come to this New Year’s Eve
I’m wondering what I should leave
El Shaddai-The All-Sufficient One
In a world that seems so inefficient
It’s hard to trust God is sufficient
When reality
Won’t let me “do me”
I feel like His love is deficient
Today I will share liberty
with those who wound my heart
I long to live life well settled
So I can act as fine fettled
But God stirs my pot
So every thought
Is rebrewed as something Christ-kettled
We serve others because we love Jesus
We love Him because He has freed us
The deeper love goes
The more that we show
The world how to live as redeemers
“God, do You hear when I call?
Why don’t You come fix it all?”
His words, though quite painful, rang true
“My son, that is why I made you!”
In a world where sufferings out of fashion
Christ calls us to live with compassion
As we train our brain
To not flee from pain
His Kingdom, to our world, will crash in
“Treat your enemies the way
Luke 6:27 (paraphrased)
You want them to treat theirs”
Saving the world
Is really quit simple
If we learn to be
More imitable
I know that I should
Strive to be good
And not just obsess
Over my own distress
What is one change we can make
That will cause all our hearts to un-break?
The smallest bit flip, like a lever
That makes “certain” what once was “never?”
Christ did not just come
To up-end
Corrupt human authority
Concluding the story from Sex 206. Loving Father
I am trapped in the Bar of Hell.
Watching my Father guzzle
All the shame, suffering and sin
Of the whole world
With such agonizing joy
That my soul yearns
To join Him
I grab my tiny Cup, full of ruby liquid, and slam it down my throat.
I have tasted all the pleasures of this world, from the sublime heights of philosophy to the sordid depths of passion.
All start out sweet as honey to my mouth, but end up bitter as gall in my stomach.
This… is the reverse.
