The Choice : Ringside Seats

-

When things are down 
Everything around 
starts to fall to pieces 
You know the truth 
But it's still hard
to give it all to Jesus 
You read all the stories 
You heard about His glory 
He has already paid the price

A long time ago a man you all know
Adam made a fateful choice 
He had a perfect life
Until his lovely wife 
Listened to the wrong voice 

To this very day the price we pay
Affects even you and me
So God let us see
NO matter what we try 
to make it right 
The results are always the same 
Until we bow - give it back to Him
And call upon His name 

A long time ago a Man we all know 
Jesus made an eternal choice
He led a perfect life
Even through suffering and strife
His death silenced the voice
His comeback set us all free
Forgiveness for you and me

The voice has been silenced 
Still echoes rebound in violence
Making havoc with every turn 
Ambushed by panic
Infiltrated panic
It's hard to shut it down 

Until you remember and fight as if
The war has already been won
Jesus sat down 
At the right hand of the Father 
Yet here in the earth 
The pangs of rebirth 
Seem to take us farther away 

This is your choice - which of the voices
Are going to change your ways
If you live day to day
By starting to pray
Put your fighting boots on
The war HAS been won
But we are not quite done 
Until the Father
Starts counting to one

"But now, this is what the Lord says-                                                                                                 He who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel;  'FEAR NOT, for I have redeemed you;  I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.                                         When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.  For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."  - Isaiah 43:1-3                                                                             "Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your hearts: Do NOT FEAR the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults."      -Isaiah 51:7                                    "The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouch

Peter Pan

I don't know about any of you - but sometimes life feels like a movie scene.  The one where you are grabbing for the swinging ladder and as you finally grasp the rungs... struggling to climb on... all of them give way and you go tumbling into space......   So this blog is not from Tinkerbell's point of view,  Not just a sprinkle of fairy dust and Happy Thoughts.  It's more like from a blind beggar wanting to show another blind beggar where to find bread.    ↝ Stories from the journey of my life  ↜ written by: Sue Leerhoff   ↝ follow me on my Facebook page ↜ - Brick by Brick
