Conversion

CONVERSION

1
Everyday is a test, no rest, a contest, put up my best, I confess
Hardwired and tired, flawed with mud and mire, no liar but on fire
I will connect, will not fret but you can bet I will not let
Down, pound for pound, round after round, will win the crown, all smiles no frown
Wound tight but upright into the fight with all my might I will ignite as I write
These flames will burn in the rain I subtract the profane in his name my game
Is on, no more be gone, all along my poem is a song, turn right from wrong
And to the end I’ll be a friend and will defend and make amends will be no end
I have the cure that is for sure not insecure I will endure sip this tincture
Cut like a knife get rid of strife from your life this is real life

Bush said, “Read my lips” but take these tips big gulps no sips and do not resist
I am on a journey like a defense attorney save you from the gurney
Continue to strive as I come alive I will revive your spirit and drive you to change You must rearrange your thinking this is strange permit me to exchange
Two sides of a coin my belief I will conjoin and inspire you to join on this 
Program like Abraham I will introduce you to the Lamb this is my jam
Maybe you’ve never heard about the word your vision is blurred that is absurd
Aint no religion but I am a Christian no more being a pigeon I am not a politician
You’ve got to be a disciple, you’ve got to read your bible, He is the final archetypal it 
Is critical and vital leave your old sinful cycle

But just how do you do it, there aint nothing to it, you must grow through it nothing To pay or prove it, get up and move it
You need another faithful brother, or faithful sister or mother, and study with one Another as you both read and discover and uncover the message
You got to hear and lets be clear not about being sincere the word is to be feared
As you come to a faith, listen to what I sayeth this is how I will pray as you come to a Belief and start to see salvation and eternity
I wont relent until I see you repent you must hear and believe he was sent 
You cannot be content with how your life has been he 
Came to seek and save the lost he died for us at his cost

Because we all are lost, he wore thorns upon a cross for you and me
Don’t you see that we can be followers of him eventually?
You must be baptized; this message is supersized no time for false and lies
Born again of the water, this poem is getting hotter we the clay he is the potter
Let me begin and talk about our sin and when it is forgiven in 
The waters of baptism I say again “Be born again” and its when we really start living
He said go to “all the nations” that was his proclamation and “make disciples”
His started the New Testament revival and “baptize them in the name”
This would be the new game “father, son and holy spirit” listen up can you hear it?
And don’t you know that as you go about to and fro he is with us to the 

5
End of days this is what the bible says and will come back for us
In that we can trust it is a must please put up no more fuss
I have come to shed some light, turn that darkness from dark to bright
Read these words again as I write that they may give you strength and sight!
I am peeling back the layers; this is my utmost fervent prayer
If you have ears to listen please pay more close attention
And if you have eyes to see, open them up more fully
Like the original disciples in early Christianity we must listen
And obey most faithfully!
Most faithfully!
