What Lines...?

ALWAYS be last in line.

because you are DIVINE.



Whether literal or metaphorical lines, as Christians we are called to be last. Dead last. Jesus put others before himself. However, we put ourselves before others due to our sinful human nature. Lets live up to what our lips say by our actions. Be the example of selflessness to our peers, family, friends, etc.

We are undeserving, why should we go first anyway?

Jesus is the Son of God, and yet he always placed himself below others.

We are all God's children, therefore lets place ourselves below others.

love.



The times I sin, they seem to pinch my skin.

The times you forgive, that gives me a reason to live.

You are love.

My white dove.



God, I just cannot comprehend.

How you can take someone like me and love me like no other friend.


I cannot measure...you.

I have tried, but always seem to fall through.

It doesn't seem to add up.

How do you ALWAYS overfill my cup?


Why are sinners like me, worth your time?

I mean to humans, I will never be considered prime.


But that does not matter.

I am worth more than gossip and cruel chatter.


Because I am loved. Not by someone who to even care, has to be shoved.

But by my Savior, our Creator, my heavenly Father.

I am your daughter. Here and forever after.




Unintentionally, I deny your love for others, because they seem, like actors.

We are all under your umbrella of love, sheltered by grace, forever in our happy place.


My actions I regret, but will never forget.

But you still love me, this I feel, this I know, and I will never let go.



You are love, the purest form from above.

It is undeniable, because you have made me capable.



Forever I am grateful.

For it is said. When He rose from the dead.

Crown


My head it's the ground.  

No one is around.

Your warm embrace. 

Brightens my face. 

You carry me up and away. 

To safety somewhere far far away. 

When I look at the world from above. 

It's apparent that each and everyone one of us needs that little shove. 

What allows us to wake up in the morning?

What keeps our blood flowing? 

We are feeble. Incapable. Powerless. 

But YOU are strong. Faithful. Fearless. 

YOU are my rock. My foundation. 

Through YOU only I can resist all temptation.

We all fall down, but who saves us? 

The one deserving the crown

Why?

why don't we all live simply 

so others can simply live. 


think about it 
don't lie, we all don't want to admit it 

but our actions cause others to suffer
we are all guilty of sin

don't you ever forget the one who came to forgive 

the one who came to save

the one who has suffered it all 

faced the thickest of all walls 


let's live for Him

rid ourselves of our selfish skin

accept the ONE who died for YOU & ME



it's a challenge

i have taken the first lunge, get ready for the plunge

come join me in our journey to our SAVIOR 









HE & i.

It should have been my blood that was shed. 

But He wouldn't have raised me from the dead. 

For you are consisting of no imperfections. 

But I am dying from satan's contagious infection. 

You sent your son to save all nations. 

But because of our ignorance and pride we shall reside in damnation. 

We desire your heart. 

For it is time for us all to have a new start. 

Your presence is undeniable. 

For you stretch from the east to the west. 

Seeking out those stressed and depressed. 

I have been put to the test, however you were always there even without my request. 
 
I am under arrest. 

Chained by my selfishness and sin. 

You unleash me, and here I begin.... 

i fall.



i fall at your feet

begging to feel complete

for the void will never fill

until I surrender my life for your will

half-heartedly I pray

for I am so easily lost, now I am astray

guide me with your abundant love

for I know my life will be pure joy when I am with YOU, up above. 

as you have herded your sheep

don't hesitate to wake us from our selfish "sleep". 

for I am the black sheep, standing out from the crowd. 

yet no one hears my voice even when I am loud. 

i act like you have shown, I listen as you have told.
 
yet I patiently wait for your faithful plan to unfold. 

 

We wait.

I wait for the day 
when we will all sit and pray

in front of your throne
never alone

hand in hand declaring YOU the sole ruler of the land

doubts will fade away, because you have never led us astray

I wait for the day when all our fears drift away 

sin will lose it's sting as the angles in heaven proudly sing

satan will wallow and cry as we all wave him goodbye. 

I wait for the day
when we stop our rapid decay

I wait for the day 
when I speak your name 
and won't receive looks like I am insane. 

I wait for the day 
when there are no divisions. 
cause to You we are all included in Your one true vision. 

I wait for the day 
when those gasping for your air
feel your grace and are finally aware

the day has come
for you sent your one and only son

we all have the ability to be saved 
even though we will always misbehave
