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.
