The Other Side

From a different point of view by seeing from a different angle
Perhaps seeing something new that before you could not tell
In really becoming a mirror with a new look but from within
But at least something more that shows the treachery of sin

The direness of the situation because of eternal consequence
The immensity of His Creation which you could never sense
His Great Total Love for YOU, sending His only Son for You
But with the conclusion you drew unable to see that it's true

Of smallest to the biggest things satan deceives the masses
All the temptation he brings how so many must need glasses
For if you only truly knew and weren't so caught in his snare
You'd have much more of a clue for you would certainly care

And yet to this day you don't while many others see it clear
Many of those also won't as Friends that is my greatest fear
I worry much about all of those who never even took a look
In taking the life they choose they go read every other book

Revelation 14:7	 
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; 
for the hour of his judgment is come:
and worship him that made heaven, and earth, 
and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

The Bible can be very intimidating especially to a non-reader like me. But there are some wonderful shows that give you in depth detail. I was raised Catholic but this really colored in the whole book and made it so much more beautiful. From Hagee sr to Perry Stone, Mother Angelica my favorite. Billy Grahm and Franklin. Quality t.v. God bless and take care.
