Poem#45 Driven
Romans 7
Learning to appreciate the guide rails God placed as reflected
As intended by His Laws trying to veer us away from Sin’s Darkness
Unfortunately mankind took what God intended only to make it worse
Instead of letting the light reflecting which way to go light was covered
With one regulation after another even as they broke the laws of God
Just like back at Eden letting Pride meddle in where it doesn’t belong
Don’t let Pride keep interfering now that Christ has died on the Cross
Fulfilling the law keeping since we couldn’t learn to stay out of the way
Take away the keys from Pride and let Jesus get in the drivers seat
Now that Love’s Driving , Jesus has the headlights on so we can see
Narrow is the road were traveling on in the Accord called His Word
No room for pride to hitchhike, only room enough for fellow Believers
Learn to appreciate what the rear view mirror is letting behind
While the History of how we’ve come this far is important to know
We got to let the Holy Spirit do the steering and the braking
Pharisees will still pull up beside us, trying to give well intended directions
Only their still driving in the dark using broken headlights of ancient times
While the clock is about to strike midnight and turn them back into mice
Let Christ drive us back to reality when we get out of the accord
The Beauty about being Driven by Love is wanting to make amends
When pride slips back in trying to take back the wheel from Jesus
Thankfully Jesus understands the hardest part of flesh in humanity
Is letting go control in total surrender without trying to get it back
It’s why we’ve got to be Driven by His Word with us in the back Seat
