How Can I?
How can I ever take dominion,
If I don’t even know Your plan?
How can I bow with gratitude,
If I don’t know who I am?
How could Your plan ever have been
That I’d fight The Lie with the sword of men?
With good ideas that are hard to ignore;
Yet people still lying dead on my floor.
This army was joined, I think, out of frustration;
You know, Why don’t we go and enlist;
After all, they offer an education
And the money is hard to resist.
It’s outrageous thinking to trade in this gun,
When I’m facing the Enemy’s tank;
A very true statement, in the way of this world:
Power based on human strength!
So, I’d say that the way that’s been chosen so far;
Leaves much to be desired;
It’s become, Who’s the strongest with the greatest funds;
Valued life burned alive in this fire.
Well then, let’s try religion;
That could be the way;
Yet, they all have something different to say!
If He’s waiting to set up His Kingdom on Earth,
And I’m trying to take the land;
I’d best stop assuming and find out what works
So that I can understand...
Just what He meant, in this time of training,
When He said I’m a son and an heir;
With power in my words to remove opposition;
Is my choice, I really don’t care!
In your strength, maybe seventy years;
And with care, even thirty more;
What a very sobering thought, my friend;
Not a long time to win Our war!
But I’m only a person; What can I do?
Just ignore who you are; The Lie wants you to.
One thing’s for sure, If I chose to ignore,
My world will go on as it was before!
So I quietly observe and come to conclusions:
“It’s not working too well in my life!”
That statement exposed what you’re really about:
Great justification of strife!
My Word clearly states, If you have an offense,
You bring it out in the light;
Your flesh says,’ I can’t; I’ve been too disappointed;”
“It just isn’t worth the fight!”
Religion says, Bury it deep in your heart;
Your flesh loves to carry this cross;
The Lie is delighted to keep you there;
It’s intention: You’ll suffer great loss!
It takes courage to admit the hurts inflected,
As we run toward this prize;
Cowardly influence will always suggest:
Find allies, then run and hide!
You will never endure the cross of exposure,
Designed to let your way die,
If My plan for you, you really don’t see;
Your pride will make you hide.
His Word speaks of order; of this we’re aware;
We know what He has to say:
Provision from Him; Protection and love;
As we’re learning to walk His way.
For a while, all is well and we love the attention;
But don’t dare not understand;
Our first accusation, though perhaps unsaid:
“ Who are you but an insensitive man?”
Exposed again! As your heart demands!
You’re not listening for God;
But the stroking of man!
This attitude has stopped your appointment;
And gives you a life of great disappointment;
It’s time to grow-up and look in the mirror;
That you’ve avoided for so many years;
My intention for you is to change that reflection,
As I wipe away all of your tears.
Yes, I will interfere with a lot of your pleasures,
As I’m changing them into My Own;
If you’ll just deal in truth about who you are;
You won’t have to do this alone!
If there’s an instruction you feel you can’t do;
Don’t call The Truth a lie;
Your efforts then shift; You move Heaven and Earth;
So you can feel justified!
What a great deception!! You need to see:
The Gift’s not dependent on your accuracy!!
If I can’t choose to go where is best for me;
And walk as He’s opening my eyes to see;
At least I’m protected from Satan’s attack;
As I’m gaining courage and begin to act;
And stop pretending that I agree;
When I’m fighting this road to victory.
Again exposed, as I conclude:
That only the naked will win;
Then He swoops me up in His Royal Robe:
For My Eyes Only...Amen!!!
