Holy Eyes


Oh no, here we go again
 I am ashamed to call you my friend
Why did you mess up just like that?
There is no way to ever go back

How can you be so very foolish?
I cannot forgive you for your own sins
You have messed up for the very last time
You have committed the ultimate crime

I then do things I shouldn't do
I go ahead and become a fool
I get wrapped up about myself
Oblivious that I too need help

I scream and moan about sinfulness
How wicked and bad this world really is
But I'm just as bad as they all are
My own sins I have ignored so far

I'm just as bad as my own parents
I'm judgmental and relentless
I've become so quick to condemn
I've failed to show Your love for them

You look down with mercy and grace
Compassion is written all over Your face
Because You so loved the entire world
Your plan of salvation was then unfurled

That whosoever shall believe in You
Shall live eternally just like You do
For You did not come to judge Your creation
Instead You came to bring Your redemption

You told me to love You and then other people
But why does that task seem so very feeble?
Why is it so hard to love You completely?
When wickedness and sin comes much more easily?

Abandoned to shameful things we desire
New ways of sinning we openly conspire
We knew God but wouldn't worship Him as such
We worshiped things we could see and we could touch

We traded the truth about God for a lie
We sentenced ourselves to perish and die
But God loves us too much to just let us go
Quick to forgive that's all we need to know

We need to repent of our shamefulness
Wrap ourselves in His infinite embrace
Let us love Him first heart, mind, and soul
Then to each other we can console

Let us see each other the way God sees us
Let us see through His eyes full of holiness
Let us love God first then love our neighbor
That is how we can get along with each other

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
