The world will tell you
To “follow your heart”
and trample God's word
in the name
of humanity and art
But I tell you
as a beggar and sinner
but no longer a slave
that this advice
under God
puts the world
to great shame
The world defines goodness
in beautiful delusions
like a siren taking captive
whoever will listen
leading souls towards wrath
with a seductive song
while God's heart
aches and grieves
each whiplash of wrong
against Him
all are evil
not one of us righteous
We must realize that evil
has many disguises
and it's not how the the devil
would have you define it
To God
wickedness is anything
against his word and his willing
Any time we choose ourselves
over God is sinning
Only in the the light of Jesus
is our darkness revealed
and with this admission
God's goodness, revealed
This freedom from death
is no longer concealed
and I urge you, my friend,
despite your rebellion
it's not too late but it is today
that you can find food
and you can find water
For that unquenchable longing
in the arms of your creator
The Father
He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. Peter 3:16
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." John 5:24
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13
