I pray sometimes
I've prayed for some time
I think sometimes that I don’t think some time
But in time, I found rhymes that helped me find myself
That helped me find God
You see, this World had me lost for some time
Time & time again, I'd find Jesus on my mind
I tried to pay Him no mind
For the pride that resided in my mental confines was allied to the father of lies
Clever Concepts of Corrupt Conniving Covered my eyes
Like the blind man, I sat by the road and I cried
Till I found troubles that made my pride crumble
Arrogance bow, humble
So I bowed my head
I said a prayer
Though I was proud and presumptuous
I just knew that God was there
So I sang songs about wrong
Until I read Psalms that read my heart
As red as the palm of Cain after he killed Abel
As red as the lips of Judas after he kissed Jesus
Lips cut because my tongue was as untamed as James 3
My heart cut once I read Hebrews 4
For "the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword it divides soul and spirit"
I heard the Word of God but I just would not fear it
Hearing, yet never understanding
But you must understand
In my hard heart,
I understood where I stood with God
But I acted like I didn't stand under God
I cried to myself until I cried out to God
Worldly sorrow vs. Godly sorrow
Hearts change when Jesus involved
I died to myself when I realized He died for me
New eyes revealed all the lies that Satan was feeding me
The devil deceiving me
I had put progression and aggression over recognition of transgressions
Trading inheritance for soup that was insidious inception
So now this soul expression is a form of confession or a lesson
Hope resurrected when I saw the Son’s resurrection
IN THE BEGINNING
God said, “let there be light”
So now I write to illuminate life’s meaning
IN THE BEGINNING
There was the Word
God spoke a word to form the world
So now I use these words to bring this world into repentance
See these words are God's gift
This Gift was God given
I was made in God's image
So I spit God's vision
I'm driven
Like the nails through my Savior's hand
His sacrifice as the Lamb saved every man
Yet I failed to understand
I failed to comprehend
Why would the Son of God want to save the fallen race of Man?
The wretched race of men
A wretch like me…
Yet still I can forget how blessed I be
Now my name is in the Book of Life with no misprint
Sin created a barrier
But the Son covered the distance
Even when I dissed Him
Even when my heart was distant
If my tongue is like a sword
Let my words cut deeper than the skin
But now that Jesus is my Lord
The Word cuts deep through all my sin
Since I love the way He molded the Universe and created Creation
My hands craft these words in hope that they create inspiration
You see, the Bible verses inspire these inspired verses
Conversations concerning conversion confused all of those who knew the former version of myself
WITH MY
selfishness
self-focus
self-loathing
Like how could you possibly change this?
To sin, you've become a stranger...
Well, I estranged myself from the Father
But He adopted me as a son
Now all of my sin is forgiven
Now all the victory won
The blood has completely covered
Everything I did in vain
Baptized into Christ’s death
Into the Name above all names
JESUS
One day the King of Kings will return
With the sword of His mouth and fiery eyes that burn
Earth will tear like a garment
The heavens will melt away
Until every knee is bowed and every mouth is saying
JESUS
THEY WILL SAY THE NAME OF JESUS
They will say,
JESUS IS LORD
The Church will proclaim,
JESUS IS LORD
His children will proclaim,
JESUS IS LORD
His Bride will proclaim,
JESUS IS LORD
