Understanding

Why do we know what’s the truth, but still believe in lies To be righteous is all of common sense, but no one ever tries I’m guilty to the words of the Lord, man made laws I do not abide Who is to judge another‘s experiences? Not you, most definitely not I First I say thank you, please forgive is my daily request Ask for guidance and understanding recognize how I’ve truly been blessed Made of flesh, blood & bones, all my sins I must confess Unselfish and very merciful, what a feeling, being loved by the best We lie to deceive, chastise just to cause pain steal, kill, lust and envy, With no shame, living in vain Idolizing false figures, easily led by the masses Living in hell on earth, soon to all be ashes I know nothing at all, still find myself asking exactly who am I? Whatever I know not now, he’ll teach me over time Nobody’s perfect, we find our selves seeking for truth in all the wrong places How can sinister smiles be on Gods faces?…..

A germane composition in an era where the Holy Writ has been replaced with mere traditions of men. Romans 4 captures this theme so well. Salvation is by faith and grace and not miserable attempts to keep an un-keepable law. 7+
