A Just Measure
by J'Wellsforgivenessfaithself worth
Feel the weight of who I am.
Renewed by the blood of the lamb.
Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Cast the first stone if you're not covered in mud.
A man's righteousness is as filthy rags.
So your righteousness, is only fit to be tossed in the trash.
I'd rather be a thief dying on the cross, saying, 'Remember me,'
Or a sinner beating his chest in misery,
Begging to be forgiven, too embarrassed to look at heaven,
Than a Pharisee saying, bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
A bond servant who seeks to serve,
Not to be served.
Preach the word as a living example,
Embody the Scriptures that carnal feet trample.
Some just want a sample, to put a trophy on the mantle.
The Spirit consumes lives like a candle.
Requesting a crucifixion is too much for some to handle.
Leave behind all, to carry your cross.
On the sacrificial altar, sometimes living sacrifices get off.
Life has a way of testing our relationships.
There's a way that seems right, but causes the foot to slip.
Which leads to being unprofitable,
Like fluids in a handkerchief.
