Is It Worth Your Soul?

Though they said not a word, but of their thoughts He could comprehend Jesus turned to His disciples and said this to His men "To follow Me you must deny yourself and take up the cross For there is no profit to be gained if your soul has been lost" Stop and take a moment and spiritually discern Is It worth your soul to forsake all that you have learned? A little bit of knowledge and all the education Are worthless without spiritual wisdom, no matter the application Take up the cross just follow and obey Become a disciple of Christ and follow in His ways Just don't become to righteous, judgmental or arrogant For God is the only authority who can set precedence Is It worth your soul to deny one's own? Is It worth your soul to sacrifice for God's throne? You must deny yourself and get rid of earthly sins Is It worth your soul to let the Spirit of God within? Separate yourself from the fleshly desires of man Let go of worldly lusts and follow God's master plan Jesus said to His men, "one of you to Me will betray And one of you will deny Me three times in one day But do not worry for I have a spirit of no fear And as long as I pray to My Father, I know from Me He will hear But when the final hour for you comes Where will you get your guidance from?" Ask yourself this question; Is It worth your soul to deny one's self And make the sacrifice For the foundation that man should lay Should be the foundation of Jesus Christ Is It worth your soul to give up worldly lust? To deny things of fleshly satisfaction That Satan uses as a distraction To displace the God I trust Is It worth your soul to walk in fear? For Satan will plot against you, learn to draw the Lord God near Is It worth your soul to follow a God of spiritual infusion Or those so-called wolves in sheep's clothing who are only illusions What are you willing to give up in life to concede or re-arrange? What is worth your soul? what about you would you change? Understand that the Living God is always just and fair He will love you no matter the what, the who, the when or the where For the greater God anoints you, The stronger the adversary will attack Just believe that your soul is safe through the blood of Jesus And Father God has your back So learn to look all those fears and demons straight in the eye Because It's worth my soul, as Jesus did for me for Him I would die
