Finally Saved

[Phaedron777]

Finally Saved - an original Poem / Song

He preach the way of peace, but what he really want is war?
While evil trample down the righteous, all he does is keep the score.
The good news is a promise, if you suffer all your life,
but not all of us are soldiers who are ready to take the knife.
I'm a nerd, not a jock, I'm a hippie, he's the rock.
He's the savior, he's the king, enlisting soldiers to heaven bring.

Now who am I to argue with the God who made the clay,
just what were you thinking when you made me this way?
Cause there's nobody righteous, no not even one,
Cept for those who been washed in the blood of the son.

Now pick hot or cold, and you're sure to have gold,
You're predestined, it's foretold, you were made in heavens mold.
cause the hypocrit is poor, both after and before.
And the cry that goes ignored, winds up sinning even more.

Decieve the whole world or tell one little lie,
but in the same lake of fire every sinner gonna fry?
And I mourn for mother earth, she wither fade away,
cause the whole wide world has gone the way of Cain.

I say bring me a witnesses to hold back the rain,
cause if I don't see a miracle I think I'll go insane.
I was on a quest for truth, in a world full of lies
But the answer in my heart, still leaves me mystified

And I didn't come to you cause they said I'd go to hell
And I didn't go to church, where the masses all dwell
Nor did I seek your face to contend for the faith
But I repent of all my sins, and pray it's not too late.

And I didn't want to find you for the riches, crowns, and fame
And I didn't lust for power when I called your mighty name
Nor did I ask to sit on your left or right above
But the thing that stole my heart was that you're the God of love

And I know you know better, far better then me
And I know it took a lot for you to set us all free
Now my thick sinful heart was drowning in despair
But then you filled me with your spirit and I knew that you were there

I wonder how could you die, and save a wretch like me
When I was lost in my rebellion, I didn't expect to see
The holy God of Abraham, come to take MY place
Now I'm a very different person, cause of such amazing grace

And suddenly my body is a living sacrifice
There's a strange sense of peace, and it's really really nice
And I've lost all desire to live in sin depraved
I guess that means that I'm finally saved

Still I awaken in a hopeless world dark
The end of all flesh is come upon you, but I don't have an ark
Till the grave I go where my hand embark
And I'm dreading the day they implement the mark

Great job!

Thanks for sharing!
Isn't it wonderful to know you are saved and the truth is revealed to you! That's the peace that passeth all understanding.
Like you I could not go back to the confused state I was before.

And I'm dreading the day they implement the mark

Why?

Cause there's nobody righteous, no not even one,
Cept for those who been washed in the blood of the son.

Amen. Great poem.

 

[Phaedron777]

Thanks. There was a time I lost everything and was frustrated with God and life, not knowing what to do and wondering how God could allow for things to be this way. He's been patient with me, considering my insolence.

"He created all things for his amusement."

This I read long after him telling me himself. He's finally got right me where he wants me though, in humble obedience without objection. I, being a dungeon master, a writer, a video game designer, have indeed created many worlds and characters for my amusement. They are not real on the level we are real, but then we are not real on the level God is real. Humans are composed of very complex bio-molecular machines and dna code. What we perceive as freedom could be said to really be based on brain patterns, psychology, and circumstance. There is a distinct neurological change that takes place when one is born again of the spirit, however.

Now pick hot or cold, and you're sure to have gold,
You're predestined, it's foretold, you were made in heavens mold.
cause the hypocrit is poor, both after and before.
And the cry that goes ignored, winds up sinning even more.

My words go deep. What I mean by pick hot or cold is be either strongly for Christ or strongly against him. Not only is this how he prefers the world to be, if you aren't following him with all your heart you'd might as well sell your soul to the devil, be completely against him, and have riches and fame. We either invest in this life or the next life. The more we tow the line, the more we wind up poor in both lives.

When one becomes a son of God, but doesn't follow after him right, he is scourged, chastised, and cursed. This is just God's way of telling us something is wrong, it's not working out, and when we wake up fully to his Love, we are grieved for every little sin. Looking back we wonder "how could I have ever been that way." one may even feel lost and confused and unsure if they can be forgiven. Then shall the curse be recognized as an act of love, and a visible sign of fellowship.

And the cry that goes ignored... worldly sorrow and despair can dig us deeper into sin, especially if we expect God to come to us. We must come to him and take up our cross and deny ourselves.

We can be healed of the worldly sorrow if we just let it all go. I have known people who often feel driven to suicide, and they don't want to hear the same don't it speeches. So I say, alright let's compromise. There is a side of you that wants to die and a side of you that doesn't, which is why you're still here.

When you kill yourself for God, the old man is dead and you live for the hope of a better world, to serve his purposes. Anyone who has listened to my compromise finds they become unexpectedly happy, both because their expectations are dead now, and the joy of God has found them. It's really a great win/win situation in the end.
