NEW POEM - Go ye therefore

God told his people to stand up
but we are too comfortable sitting down
like we were made in a way with our butts stuck to the ground
thinking our job's done when its Jesus we've found
but we drown forgetting God's work is more deep and profound

there's enough lost souls that be up in the church
and even more lost souls that are roaming the earth
Jesus said spread my word before theyre buried in dirt
so its time i write these lines and make sure everyone's heard
but it dont negate the fact that im a little bit scared
God you sure, im supposed to be the one spreading the word?

cause it don't fit my routine so I rather not get between
Lord i rather lean to the left and let someone else intervene
so I question if I'm predestined, Lord I'm just an adolescent
all my experiences are mistakes
I'm not ready to start this race
but God said "go ye therefore cause I need you to take my place"
you were made in my image so we have the same face
even a sinner like you can be used by God's grace

see Jesus isn't this personal secret, meant for us to keep it
God's a declaration meant to be heard by every nation
so go ye therefore and teach em
let them know he can reach them
God said we can pluck out and plant in- all within good reason
and hey, it's rainy season so let God's blood water us like plants
created with a new heart,
cause God gave me a transplant
equipped to serve his purpose
cause I know that it's all worth it

so a sinner like me? God you rather use a sinner like me?
cause my story of redemption cause get a lost soul on their knees
my flaws against your laws can help the average man see
that you still see something perfect
in a soul that might seem worthless
but there's hope in Jesus Christ
if you simply believe.
