Poem#86 Other Side Of The Road
Revelation 18
Why did the Chicken cross the road has always been us
And it’s no joke because we’ve gotten the view point wrong
As we’re like Sheep not Chickens
Somewhere along the road we started listening to the wrong voice
That wasn’t the Lord that is our Shepherd & were led astray convinced
What we had with God wasn’t ours even though it was
Serpent convinced our prideful thinking it was better on the other side
Even though we had everything we’ve ever needed in Jesus our Light
We just never knew the Truth until He coverd us the Second time
Not until the Redemption on the cross were we convinced of redeeming
Except for those refusing to stay on the side of the Road as the Shepherd
Only the Prodigals will be humbled enough to know what they had is real
The Lost Sheep get found, Lost Coin recovered & Prodigal thinks of Home
Sometimes it takes hanging around pigs to find where we belong in Jesus
Getting back across the Road where we know we Belong to Jesus
Other side of the road maybe Babylon building a tower to Heaven
What those Crossing the road will never understand is leaving Heaven
We were already in Heaven with Jesus, Thankfully Jesus left Heaven
I repeat Jesus left the Kingdom to pay for our Sins on the Middle Cross
Dying on the Other side of the road so we wouldn’t have to be in Hell
God’s Grace of Death & Resurrection to bring us back Home
The Grace we had before leaving Eden has always been enough
The Grace that found us lost has always been enough to take us
Grace has always been efficient enough, if only we’d be content
