So do not fall for the bait
Of those cunning, devious ones
That lie in wait
To uproot you, and plant you anew
Into their world of pseudo truth
Where everything to them is gain
Luring the foolish virgin, to believe the claim
That victory has been won
And heaven offers free passes to everyone
And for your part, nothing now need be done
Wow! That one sure befuddles me
So now, all i need to do is drift away and sleep
And need not trouble my soul to keep
It is written: At our very best;
All are like filthy rags, unclean
Do you know what tht means!
It means that you are evil continously
Fallen, dark, dead,
Need more be said!!!
And should be in horror
Mournful, repentant, ashamed!!!
What manner of person then
Would make the claim
In Him, i have all to gain???
No, man!!!
In Him, you have nothing to gain
But everything to lose
Lose this valueless thing you cling to; you!!!
So throw all your illusions away
And to the real God
Fall on your undeserving knees and pray
Then with a heavy heart and downcast soul
Start your walk into the true light
The one that leads to life
And at the other end, not before
Is your saving grace
For God's kingdom is not of this world
And there is nothing good in this human race
And it is God's will
That you walk this road
Therefore truly believe in Him
And He will be there by your side
To help you through
He is the truth, the way and the life
For He has already walked the road
And of the suffering, trials, fear and strife
He is fully aware of and knows
It is important to understand, though
That just because, Jesus lived a mortal
Life, and overcame
Does not mean that you automatically do or will
You, yes you, have to face existence still
It is your life to live, no one will
Overcome, or develop spiritual character for you!
So be rational and realistic
Live in the present, be simplistic
Harmless as doves, like serpents be wise
Let truth be your guide
Seek, and you shall find!
God does not want you to worship Him
In idle praise
Deluding yourself that all is okay
Or that you are already saved
Wasting away your days
So step out of your cubicle
Move, venture, search, dig deeper; become!
Let go of your fairytale fantasies and fixations
Face the variance, separation
Free will is a God given gift,
Use it, individuation!
If a newly born sparrow fails to venture
Beyond the nest,
What has it got?!
How then also, can God
Begin to work in someone
If that person in deep essence, is not!?
So then be real with yourself
Start to be you
Wholeheartedly and true
Open your eyes to the light of the sun
And in the process of awakening
Let love, tear down the walls of isolation
Have a real, deep, not a lukewarm
Marketing, impersonal relation
With God and your fellowman
And then you will begin to understand
For truly, life is a journey
And God, and existence is a mystery
A non ending chain of sequences
A question and challenge each instant presents
This is why it is essential to strive
Through striving you become more involved more inclined
Open and receptive to the issue at hand
And this sparks the flame
That makes one more awake and alive
So be good to yourself, be humble, be true
Don't allow yourself to be sidetracted or fooled
Experience ljfe, seek, learn, develop and grow
This brings light to the soul
And when you meet God at the other end
For it is a long journey home
Then you will fully know!
For now we see through
a glass darkly;
But then face to face:
Now i know in part;
But then i shall know
even as also i am known
