Lies And Light

Lies I denied, float through my mind.
Lies, I can't hide; they fight to make me think they’re true.
Lies, they're all lies and they're floating through my head.

Why does this spiritual war never rest?
Why does it never die down?
Why?

I know why, still it's hard to take.
I know why, still it's hard leather ya can't chew.
I know why, still some pretend it's not there, but we fight it don't you?

Through our heartache and through our tears our war rages.
Through the years and fears where were you?
Through my doubts and all my bouts, what do I do?

Nonsense and lies waste away in my mind.
Oh God! What's it this time?
Junior high games?
Camels squeezing through needles?
Forests falling in silence?

Silly little boy!” I hear the enemy snicker.
“You know nothing!” he says.
Still I know too much.

Bible stories run through my mind.
They correct that waste of time.
Second guess?

NO! NO MORE LIES!
Father forgive me, I pray!
I in doubt I left Your way.
My mind ran out in the street and began to play!
Thoughts, my thoughts were then ran over by a bus.
Wounded, I wandered, wishing Lord that I had kept Your way.

Numb, I walked away.
I know my heart is hard Lord.
I know those deeds done are written in stone everyday.

Silicone and bits.
Bytes by the day.
Little piece of paper all show our way.

Now the rocks witness against me.
The trees could tell my ways.
True! So true!

But day the light of Light erased it all away!

Delighted and dismayed, all I had ever done is undone!
Dumbfounded, I have nothing to say, it's all been put away. 
Deleted forever!

I saw the dead, great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened. Then another book was opened. It was the Book of Life. The dead were judged by what they had done. The things they had done were written in the books.” Revelation 20:12 NIRV

Through Jesus' blood my sins are washed away. My confusion and doubt may or may not be interesting reading. I just know it's a tool to share my passion: Jesus. One way or another, I hope you come to the knowledge and wisdom of God made flesh: Jesus. He died voluntarily for the things I did, the things I do and the things I will do. Our Savior, Jesus, died once for all.

Look back at the verse above. Do you see what I see? There is an encyclopedia set written just about you. They contain your deeds and will be used for the judge to decide your guilt or innocence regarding sin. There is only one problem. Everyone has sin. And, it takes just one misguided deed to make us guilty. WOW! NO ONE SUCCEEDS in keeping themselves pure from sin.

Rather than rejecting our Holy Gods' grace, I choose life. That life is only in Jesus the Christ. Jesus wrote my name in the Lambs' Book of Life. He did it with His blood. Jesus choose to keep us from being judged by the books and He place us in the Book. Notice the plural and singularity of the highlighted words. The difference is important. Jesus placed those that believe on His work at Calvary in The Book of Life! That is if you choose to let Him.
