Die To Self And Live For Christ (Poem #3)
Die to Self
And live for Christ
Die to Ambition
And live for Hope
Die to Pleasure
And live for Life
The life that is gained
In the one who Created
Die to Idolatry
And to Wisdom of Man
Die to Hatred
And Jealousy all days
Die to Wickedness
That carries the Proud
Die to Evil
So your not Satan's Slaves
Die and gain Christ
For He is above Everything
Die to your Needs
For He will take care of Them
Live for Christ
For He died for your Transgressions
Live to be Free
From the chains of Wrong Ambitions
The worlds not the Problem
Not the evil one Either
The problem is You
For you live for Worldly Traditions
You gain all the World
But lose that which Matters
You hold to your Truth
But care for no others
What do you Seek?
And what do you love?
You search but don't Find
Because you can't see the Light
God gave you Hope
A Future, A Reality
God holds out His Hands
For you to come Running
But men run Away
They refuse His Great Refuge
They wiggle Away
Until they are just Ashes
Is God not Capable
Of holding your Future?
Is He not Worthy
Of being your Creator?
So much you don't See
How Blind can you be?
So much you lose
To selfishness Forever
So much you not Choose
And to Him you give Nothing
Before Him in Heaven
What will you say?
You know you are Guilty
And you can't say "Nay"
You thought you could Gain
The approval of Others
How clean are your Sins
When you stand before the Father?
Did you follow the Crowd
Or stay with the Father?
Test yourself and See
Just like all the Others
Are you clean? A good Person?
Had your sins Washed Away?
If you think you are Good
Then stand next to The Almighty!
How do you Feel
When He's like no Other?
He's Clean and Holy
And Righteous Indeed
Will your sins show in White
Or be Blotched with Black Colors?
Now you see
Your the Problem
Not the world
Or some Other
Now I've said it Plenty
And I'll say it Again
Die to Self
Die Right Now
So Christ can Take Over
And Cleanse you with The Living Water
Amen!
And live for Christ
Die to Ambition
And live for Hope
Die to Pleasure
And live for Life
The life that is gained
In the one who Created
Die to Idolatry
And to Wisdom of Man
Die to Hatred
And Jealousy all days
Die to Wickedness
That carries the Proud
Die to Evil
So your not Satan's Slaves
Die and gain Christ
For He is above Everything
Die to your Needs
For He will take care of Them
Live for Christ
For He died for your Transgressions
Live to be Free
From the chains of Wrong Ambitions
The worlds not the Problem
Not the evil one Either
The problem is You
For you live for Worldly Traditions
You gain all the World
