God has revealed His new creatures
those that are in Christ no less
showing His godly character to be
this is required for your heavenly dress
When one looks upon those ones
that professes to be so very holy
so often carnality is all seen
one must judge looking very slowly
Look circumspectively just to see
where's the evidence of Christ's effect
is there humility, grace and meekness
traits of Jesus but so often just defect
In an age of much God rejection
rationalism and apostacy rules the day
where's the change of lives and morals
little evidence too of man's urge to pray
Paul spoke of a real new change
old things to go everything was new
revival is required to save society
God's powerful effect long overdue
("Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.")
2 Corinthians 5: 17 (KJV)

It's so sad when you hear of apostacy
these who started well on the Christ way
but temptations came in to spoil their walk
promising the world! what can one say?
The Christian is not promised it'll be easy
for they'll be bumps and bruises on the road
there's a cross to be lifted truly on high
plant your seed that needs be sowed
Remember Jesus walked this road before
so humble, lowly, meek He indeed was
but He took up His cross all His days
learn to do likewise escaping satan's jaws
Walk with Jesus on His path of light
all other routes find it ends in night
be sure be close to finding true rest
only in Christ for all others are unblest
Never give a thought to any other way
keep close to Jesus your only view
Remember He died for you with all its pain
now is with you making your life brand new
