I DON’T DESERVE
I don't deserve to be the one
Who Jesus died to save
I don't deserve to be the one
Who Christ took to the grave
Then He rose to give me life
A wretched soul like me
Why did He go through all that pain
Just to set me free.
It is surely up to me
To grasp His offered love
Even though I'm hesitant
To lose my worldly glove
If I have a choice to make
I would pick the One
Who's loved me since the world began
Jesus, God's own Son.
SLEEP
When a church is asleep
And the slumber is deep
The devil will leave it alone
He is thrilled at the sight
Of a comatose plight
With a life that reminds him of stone.
But if it should wake
And the bones start to shake
As The Spirit arouses the saints
Then satan gets tough
And his demons get rough
As a landscape of darkness he paints.
They whisper in ears
And manifest fears
Your self worth is brought to it's knees
They love to destroy
The flowing of joy
And desecrate all that they see.
So stand firm in Christ
And stop being nice
The victory, is already won
The power of The Lord
Is your two edged sword
From you, they have to run.
SOFT SCOOP
I'm wrestling with the ice cream
Inside this soft scoop box
My spoon is bent,my patience spent
I'm trying to outfox
The barrier before me
To get my just dessert
I'll hack at that unyielding mass
No matter what the hurt.
But hey,where is my patience
Why don't I let it melt
Surely it will taste the same
If time and me both dwelt
Perhaps this is my problem
Too hasty in my ways
A Martha living in my skin
To be a Mary pays.
So if I wait upon The Lord
Instead of rushing it
And let us melt together
In a fusion,we will knit
A tasty time of bonding
And one that satisfies
Oh Lord,please give me patience
To delight in Your surprise.
PLUMMET
A whisper comes into your brain
Planted as a septic grain
Radiating waves of doubt
Thoughts you can do nowt about
Worthiness goes down the pan
Condemnation paints a tan
Down into the mire you go
Goodbye Jesus, cheerio.
As you sink into despair
No one loves you, no one cares
All these lies are buried deep
By the past that loves to weep
Blame and allegations rant
Feel just like a cabbage plant
Wish that you could disappear
Even God, you don’t want near.
He will wait until you’re spent
Limp and cried out, buckled, bent
He will wait until you call
Arms outstretched to catch your fall
Dry your tears and mop your brow
Sit you down and show you how
Through His Son you can arise
From the ashes of your demise.
ABIDE IN ME
Abide in Me, My precious child
Come tell Me what you've done
Whatever fear that grips you tight
By Me, can be undone
I will forgive your every sin
Through what My Jesus did
No matter what the gravity
Please let Me lift the lid.
Abide in Me, My precious child
I've washed clean all your grime
It's only you who's suffering
Recalling all your crimes
Believe that I have set you free
From all the devil holds
You are My child and not a slave
Believe what you've been told.
ONESIE
I have got a Onesie
I wear it all the time
It covers up my blemishes
It makes me feel sublime
If I were to take it off
Then my allure would fade
Thank heaven for my Onesie
It helps me make the grade.
Trouble is, I've got an itch
And it won't go away
I'll have to take my Onesie off
To combat the decay
I've other ailments deep inside
That need attending to
Perhaps I'll leave my Onesie off
To let The Lord get through.
