Poem#34 Death To Joy
Genesis 35
Idols hidden in our hearts Idols that we carry in our hands
We can’t hide them so why do we keep fooling ourselves
No hiding from God the only One that brings dead to life
Why can’t we be content with the One that brung us to life?
From the journey in this life on to the next will be hard living
If we keep expecting dead things to bring us joy to life
Don’t we know we’re walking dead until God’s Breath brings life
God’s not breathing life to abandon, but to dwell to walk with us
God wants to take the name death used & give us a New Name
Idols in our heart steals so much more then we know to show
Because will never see what’s fading away from sin growing up
Thankfully God’s watching over us in preparing to pay the Cost
Those with Jacob never understood what was being berthed
The Nations being born before their eyes, their servitude to All
The Twelve tribes of Judah that would bring forth a Messiah
It’s important to keep trying to throw away the idols in ourselves
Not letting life pass us through being content in the Lord’s Grace
That paid the price on the Cross as Jesus so we could Live Joy
