One can never study Christ's life
And not be floored at what He did.
But what did He do? He died 33 AD!
What does His life mean to you and to me?
To completely understand, once must look at the big picture,
The Spiritual, not just the physical
And believe that God's power is alive today
As it was when Christ was raised from Death.
Whenever I am blind
And have lost the way I knew
Either from distractions of the world
Or simply forgetting my goal,
I need only to desire
And exclaim, "Lord, I believe!"
And He will touch and open my eyes
And guide me to the light.
Whenever I am deaf
And life has lost its color
The joy has gone out from my heart
By sorrow or bitterness,
I need only to look up
And my Lord will unstop my ears
To the beauty of His Plan
My hope and joy returning
And strength to carry on.
Whenever I am mute
Shut up by fear or shame
Knowing what to say or do
But lacking strength to try,
If I fight past the comfort of silence
And work a desire to share,
My Lord will come and loose my tongue
And grant me courage to sing.
Whenever I am paralyzed
And cannot move an inch
Trapped in a corner by sin and stress
And shamed by my own weaknesses,
I need only to hear His loving Word
And I will stand again
Even if it's painful at first
Christ will be my crutch.
Whenever I am possessed
Obsessions rob me of will
Sometimes lt's just easier to let habits take over
Than manage reality myself.
This curse requires repentance
Which is only a little change
Just be willing to stand still a moment
And let the Christ reach you.
He can cast the devil out
Only if you're willing to fight it as well.
Remaining pure is a 'fight' because
With this cure comes a warning:
Replace that new emptiness with something good
Or the evil will return to your tidied soul
And soil it seven times worse! (Matthew 12: 43-45 or
Luke 11: 24-26)
