How dirty we are
in this world of sin
The inevitable blasphemy
before we begin
We give it our all
and think we are clean
bringing our good deeds to the forefront
making sure they are seen
We paint a picture for the rest
a Picasso of intrigue
Showing others the wonder
of our own little league
A perfect and holy people
so we believe
Being good boys and girls
for the eye to perceive
But in His eye we’ve missed the mark
no one is good
The works are like filthy rags
we’ve misunderstood
Only the Christ who came
The Lamb whom was slain
was without a single blemish–
worthy is His name
It took His perfection
and His alone
to make us worthy of approaching
our Creator’s Holy throne
Try as you may
to be more than He
doing enough to pass His test
showing how good you can be
Well done you may hear
on that coming day…
but you had less than He asked for
as you worked for your pay
You laid tithes at the buildings
You gave more than received
You built kingdoms in His name
for those eyes to perceive…
“Well done” is a question
that is based on the choice
of what you did for Him in love
and how you responded to His voice
The fruit that we bear
as we go through this life
flows from the innermost being
the truth and the light
He comforts us in the moments
when we are covered in sin
Our constant fallen nature
sometimes won’t let Him in
but he never forsakes us
even when we do Him
He knew from the beginning
where our hearts would soon end
“Stop trying and start doing”
I heard a man say
Let the Lord of the heart
reign over your prideful way
The One who is calling
from deep down inside
should be recognized over ourselves
HE should be glorified
When we see all that He is
and recognize all that we lack
we place Him on high
and when He comes back
we will rejoice in His magnificence
bowing on bended knee
before the Lamb without blemish
and all will then see
the truth of the matter–
He is the great “I AM”
the only way to eternal life;
true ruler of all man
