Viewpoint

Your viewpoint can be comforting, Or your viewpoint can be troubling: Either comforting as a safeguard, Or as troubling as a canard. A safeguard tunnels Saints through sin. A canard tunnels sinners through spin. Though God created man upright, He schemes to hide sin from the light. With idols in front of their faces, The Lost stumble in dark places. Seeking a number of oracles, Swells their number of obstacles. Hypocrites whitewash their walls. Their ruse of righteousness forestalls, Examining what lies underneath. The Spirit's Sword stays in its sheathe. The Weak wrap their sin inside "love", A "love" that belies truth from above. They will not progress anymore, As rottenness spreads from their core. Rebels should open their minds, When Scripture reveals, it unbinds, For mankind is much maligned, Projecting their bias resigned. The Perfect focus on God's plan, Having the mind of the God-Man, A conduct that's surely becoming, For Saints prepared for His Coming. By embracing this point of view, We achieve the promised breakthrough, Being perfected in the Master's way, God's will we're faithful to obey. Strive for the Prize that lies ahead, Through the One who rose from the dead. His light and immortality shine, Dispelling the darkness by Design. Adopt the pursuit that frees us, That intimacy with Christ Jesus, And exchange the viewpoint of mankind, For the viewpoint that transforms your mind.
