Reserved
If you were reserved, like a chair
And only The King could sit there
Marked off, strictly just for his use
Would you reassign yourself for abuse?
The truth is that you are sanctified
Set apart just for Him like the tithe
Though the tenth is His own, every dime
Can be misused, misspent, or denied
You are holy by the blood of The King
Not, because, if, or when, anything!
But to be holy you must take it by force
And see reserved for The King enforced
So see yourself pure, don’t be sinning
Don’t give up the fight and the winning
For His purpose your vessel was chosen
What He owns is not tarnished but golden
You are sanctified, His earthen vessel
But to be sanctified you must wrestle
When you see what’s been done by the blood
What you are, you will be, you’ll have won
