The Promised Rest ( Part 1 )

( Hebrews 4:11 )

They say free man,
Aren’t you dreaming,
When I reveal,
My soul’s request,
For it’s rest,

They say in this present life,
There is only trouble and strife,
There is no narrow way,
For if even I can’t find it,
No never mind it!
But I know where to find it,
For Christ signed it,

The narrow way,
Is not for those who play,
I say, 
So find it you may,
For it is children who play,
Their earthly life away,

Be you a child in malice,
Build heaven’s palace,
And you will not grow a callous,
Over the opening,
Of your fallopian,
Of the narrow way,
Of the truth , the spirit does say,

For heaven is built of love’s truth,
So don’t remain aloof,
Outside love’s booth!
But be you of mature mind,
That you may understand,
God’s plan,
Enter into truth the promised land,

A prudent man,
Will understand,
Now ,it was not signed or designed,
By a carnal mind,
For a carnal mind to find,

There is a booth,
That leads by the truth,
Through a narrow gate,
Into a higher state,
Of higher fate,
That is why it’s so hard to fine,
By a carnal mind!
Love’s booth of truth,
Is not a goof,

It is your sacred start,
From your sacred heart,
The wife of the soul,
Who has the mold,
Of love’s truth,
The narrow way,
You should find some day,
If your strife , you will give away,

The narrow way,
Is not a place, that you should play,
In a natural way,
Not something the mind would say,
In it’s strife of play,
However you may find,
But the mind must re aline,
With love’s kind,
While there is still time,

Being in the new earth,
In itself, is not the total rebirth,
For the truth you must still girth,
Your stand, within promise land,
Must still be the man,
Within God’s plan,

Having loins girt about with truth,
Able to stand in truth’s booth,
Waist girt about with love’s truth!
