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!
