The True King

The small things I ask of you to do
May seem simple in many ways
Yet you always fail to do them
And from these simple tasks turn away

To you, I am the true example
With all which I do and say
Yet shortly after you hear my words
The power of flesh turns you away

Oh you, my child of little strength 
I understand the burdens your life does bear
But come with me just taking small steps
And when you need me I will be near

Embrace the word your heart hears from me
Knowing that its life is very real and true
And pick up your cross and follow me
Believing I will always surely walk with you

Do not let the flesh pull you away from me
From the pure things that you should do
Remember to  always live the way I did
And a new life will soon embrace you

My living word will surely empower you
To daily overcome this worlds adversity
So when those of flesh demands answers
You will tell them you serve the true King.
