Born from captivity of man
Seeking the worldly things
To satisfy this empty void
From lies taught from mankind
That go against God's will
Blindly putting trust and hope
Into ones who belong to the earth
Sadly ,the rulers create fear
That one's might have to place trust in them.
For this world is there hope and glory
Using this short time that they might become superior
Myself, falling victim of going along
In following the wayward crowd
Until, one day when the One above
Poured the living water within
Born unto the spirit from God
Birthed unto a new family
In seeking moment by moment
To become less of what the world teaches
And more of the spirit from which Christ
Manifest and reveals the hidden mystery
That this world does not receive are comprehend
Mankind seeks glory of mankind
While the spirit seeks to give Christ glory
To become complete in wholeness
That One might through the spirit become
One with Christ
And One with the Father in unity
Not of own works but by submitting
Unto God's hands crucifying old self
That His promised spirit might
Dwell and reign within the Lord's temple
Not created by the hands of man
But through the spirit of God's majestic power
He must become greater; I must become less.” The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.
