FROM THE MIND OF A WORDSMITH
Wearing My Reigncoat

Jesus you are the reason

the seasons change

Jesus you are the reason

the rain dances on my window pane

And under your reign, Jesus

I don’t need an umbrella

Christ Like

We try to out-christian other christians

Instead of being Christ like

We still try to show what we look like

Taking the Christ out of the christian life

And putting other christians down because their life

doesn’t reflect your life

Your life shouldn’t reflect you

Your life should reflect Christ

I’m not trying to make myself look good and feel nice

I’m trying to share the love of God

And hopefully someone will see Christ instead of me

Now that would be very nice

To know that I was living my life, Christ like

After all, when Jesus came down here, he didn’t follow a script

He demonstrated God’s love to the people

“Here you go and here it is”

Punked!

Satan tried to tempt him

but he resisted

He convinced Judas to betray him

He then led the people to turn against him

He stared at Jesus being crucified on the cross

“Look at your punk butt now, Jesus,” Satan bitterly murmured

“Sweet victory!”, Declared Satan

The Son of God died on the cross for us

Jesus went to hell, whooped up Satan and took his keys

He went on to conquer death and the grave

Before his ascension, looking at Satan

“Where’s your punk now, fallen one,” Jesus said

Now he sits at the right hand of power

The moral to this story: Never let the devil punk you into believing Jesus was just a man. Jesus is the truth, the light, and the way. We are more than conquerors through him.

The One Sure Thing

Trying to squeeze the life out of me

because I serve the one true King

the one true God

the one sure thing

He, who brings the dead to life

gives peace in times of trouble and strife

his word is so sharp, it slices like a knife

my trust is in him, his grace will suffice

Tired of the world’s put downs

disappointed by the let downs

any mention of Jesus’ name evokes intense frowns

my heart is in heaven, along with my life crown

Through Jesus, prince of peace

the devil’s mind control will cease

from the bonds of sin, you’ll be released

new light

new sight

new life

live free

Justified and Adopted

Justified and Adopted

Innocent Blood

Blood stained hands

Blood stained feet

Blood trickling down the cross

Right on to me

Penetrating my heart

Down into my spirit

Covering my soul

Innocent blood

Purging me of guilt and shame

Delivered and redeemed

Innocent blood flows through my veins

Spiritual rebirth

Spiritual reawakening

All because the blood of an innocent man touched me

His blood of innocence set me free

Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day. 1 Corinthians 15:3-5

The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name. Luke 24:46-47

“The Bible says he was raised not just after the blood-shedding, but by it. This means that what the death of Christ accomplished was so full and so prefect that the resurrection was the reward and vindication of Christ’s achievement in death.”
John Piper, Passion of Jesus Christ

“Christianity, unlike any other religion in the world, begins with catastrophe and defeat. Sunshine religions and psychological inspirations collapse in calamity and wither in adversity. But the Life of the Founder of Christianity, having begun with the Cross, ends with the empty tomb and victory.”
Fulton J. Sheen, Life of Christ
