Get away from Me, Satan! Your World taught Me "The Lesson" too well, so You cannot tempt to follow you anymore and You're not going to see Me in Hell! You cannot offer Me any more Trinkets No more Skewed Knowledge, no more Fair Deals, no more False Hopes! You are a Bold-Faced Liar - You're a Murderer! I will swing no more on your Gaudy Glittering, Death-Dealing, Twisted, Hell-bent Rope! Don't tell Me that I'm too sinful - That worked on Me only yesteryear! Today I'm walking humbly with Jesus Not proudly with The Prince of The Power of The Air! Don't send anybody to flatter Me I'm no longer working for applause from Fallen Man! My Boss is The God of Creation Jesus Christ, The Beloved, The Great I AM! You can no longer rob Me of God's Truth I've confessed My Sin! I've taken Jesus for My Portion So any Sin you cast up in front of Me Jesus Christ, Himself, cast it into His Forgetfulness Sea! Let Me spell it out for You! I've accepted Jesus - He is holding My Hand! He is Faithful and True - Not Deceitful like You! Take a hike! I'm sticking to Jesus Christ like Super Glue! Do not attempt to talk with Me anymore! I have a good Word for You! Jesus Christ Saves! His Heart I now crave! I'm through being a toy pet upon which you horribly chew! Give up Your Fight! My God Is The Light His Love for Me has No Limits I will Him give My Praise Forever and Always Forget You! You have only a few more short days! IF You Don't Understand ... Let Me Paint You A Picture: Jesus Loves Me You Can't! Jesus Drew Me Out Of Sin You Encouraged Me To Sin! Jesus Inspires Hope You Inspire Dread! Jesus IS Love You ARE Hate! Jesus' Love Causes Me to Look Up You Encouraged Me To Lower My Head! Jesus Plants Faith You Planted Despair! Jesus has prepared an Eternal and Happy Home for Me You Offered Cheapo Fun and Eternal Death! Jesus Comforts Me by The Holy Spirit Your Minions Sought to Disturb My Head Bed! Jesus Died for Me You Killed Him AND, yet, He LIVES! Jesus Is Alive and will Redeem Me Who's Crying Now? Jesus Forgave Me Where is YOURS! Jesus IS Coming For Me Who Can't Go Home? Jesus IS My Hope For Glory You Can Keep Your Trap For Hell! AND Just In Case You May Have Forgotten Your End:
Many are The Ways In which We Weave Chords - Cords of Music - To bring us, Humbled, to Our Knees! We - Bold and Arrogant - think Self Grand and Behave as though God and Human Pitch Marbles on Hard Sand! Look at Yourself!

You Act like The Idiot! You Smell of The Goat! Your Name Must be Judas - You're Wearing His Coat Of Betrayal Of Wanton Greed for Small Non-gain! Take Care You don't Get Tarred Marked With his Same Pay 'n Black Paint! You Walk like The Christian You Waddle like The Duck Be Careful You May End Up Like The Chicken that Gets Plucked Or - Worst Yet - like The Goose Who Done Get Herself Picked!

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Leaf, Wind and Bird are best friends! Since time immemorial, Bird and Leaf have been trying To beat Wind at their favorite pastime - Catch The Wind! It hasn't happened yet! Why? Well, it is like this: Wind always starts out first. Bird and Leaf can hear him coming, and They can even feel him from afar off But ... Before they see Wind Before they can catch Wind Wind Tickles Leaf ... and he dances and sings Wind Ruffles Bird ... and he's aloft and soaring before he knows it Leaf and Bird love Wind - they just can't see him Coming To catch him! It's terribly frustrating And fun And invigorating! They love Wind. Sometimes Wind can get rambunctious And move around mightily! Sometimes Wind scares Bird and Leaf - When he howls And kicks up dust And throws thing around! And then ... There IS Quiet and ... Peace and ... Rest. So moves The Holy Spirit! He's Our Friend And we will never catch Him ... in a Lie! He moves Gently and Confidently When we walk ... in His Will! He moves Rambunctiously When The Soul is calling to The King Eternal When The Soul contemplates The Worldly Tour When The Soul is struggling with Active Sin When The Master demands we Clean The House within When we are bearing The Message to The People for Him When Faith is Faltering When Grief is Exulting When The Grave is Calling
Because God IS Love He shows Me Mercy! Because God IS Merciful He provides Me Grace! Because God's Grace is Sufficient for Me I can accept #God'sFreeOfferOfSalvation! Because Salvation was Purchased for Me with Jesus' Blood I will accept Free Salvation! God's Free Salvation Requires Cleanness But there is No Cleanness in Me So I must "Come Clean" to King Jesus And that means Confession and Repentance of All Sin for Me! I can't go to God except through Jesus! I won't be Saved carrying on, and living, in Known Sin! God is Holy, and I must live Holy But I can't ... in My Own Strength! I need Jesus - who Died on Calvary - To set me Free! Jesus was Lifted up, Died and was Raised Up to Glory! I Died too - I was Baptized! I rose from the Watery Grave To walk in The Renewal that Jesus' Life gives and One day I, too, will be Raised all the way up to Glory Provided I'm Faithful and Live in The Light of ... The Promise Inked on Life Sealed in Deathand Wrapped by Raised from The Grave Held by He Lives Guarded by Certain Hopeand Trumpeted by He Is Near! I love The Lord! I laid my Burden down! I trust The Word's Word! I walk by Jesus' Faith! I lean on The Comforter! I sleep in Peace for Eternal Rest is Secured and I am Assured of God's Provision So the World has no more A Brief holding for Me For Righteousness is Mine, and Jesus Christ, Himself Is carrying Me!
By Beholding, I was ... Changed! Not for the Better - I was Ashamed! I Looked upon Evil! My Eyes Became Dull And not long thereafter Sin entered - I forgot The Shed Blood! First, I started Brooding About What Was Not Mine! My Faith in The Master Went on the Decline! It didn't take long For Longing To Live and Let cried And put me on a Path that would Could cause My Demise! I started to Bend The Rules of The Light! I started walking with The Friends of The Night And that is when Spirit and Flesh started to Fight And then The Fleas of Real Sin on me did Bite! My Skin was covered in Welts - some did leave Scars! My Ears were going Deaf - I almost couldn't hear The Devil's Sports Car Which was Revving and Roaring As it came to My Gate! I didn't hear it Sounding until it had Dropped me off Late On My Day of Decision For Good or For Ill I'd ignored My Jesus I'd Taken Swallowed The Sweet Rough Bitter Pill! I then Drank a Deep Draught of The Waters of Regret And Raked in the Leaves of Would've Could've but Didn't Yet Then And If, But and Annie Came Carrying The Stoat Which carried the Scissors which Cut Through My Coat Covering My Callous Behavior Which Covered My Need And that is when, Broken, I Fell on My Knees And Cried: "Lord, Jesus, Save Me! Please!!?!! I'm Truly Fit to be Tied Up, and Dropped In Your Cleansing Tide!" "I'm Sorry for My Actions! I Believed Satan's Lies Of Great Fun and Frolic Free - No Money to be Paid! But, Lord, it was all Deception for I have a Foot - and Four Toes - on the Banana Peel That is at the Edge of My Grave!" "Great Father, Please Rescue Me! I'm Pleading! Please, Save! Without You, Dear Jesus My Home is Slaving to Be Graved Permanently Parted Departed from You! Lord, Jesus! Please, help Me?! Get Me out of this Stew!"

I'll replace YOUR clothes that are sin-shorn!
I'll place in YOUR pocket
Pure Gold from My Throne!
Dear Child, look at These Hands
Look upon my Scarred Brow

Touch This Rent in My Side!
These badges I earned
To save YOU, My Love!
Come into My Covert!
Give Satan The Shove - Raise High The Dove!
I conquered That Bold Sinner
The Day that I Died
The Day I was Risen
Was The Day Satan Cried
For He knows the Battle is Over
My Victory is Won!

Filled with The Pure Oil of Grace!
Don't dance with The Devil - keep Marching
Even if YOU March Alone and in Place!
I've provided YOU an Angel Guardian
Who excels in Great Strength
And My Holy Spirit
Will comfort, guide and chide
Time and again!
Take all that I give YOU
Take it, and Peaceful Rest!
Stay with Me Faithful!
You will Enter My Blessed, Eternal Rest!"
I Gave up the World! I Threw off The Chain! I Trust in My Jesus Where Sacrifice IS Great Gain! I have what I Need With an Occasional Want It does not overwhelm me I no longer need want to Flaunt Things to be Paid for Promises to be Broken So that I would Jaunt Up down and sideways Frustrated and Dreading The thoughts That oft' came cascading o'er me When I laid down my head! I can Rest in Sweet Peace In Comfort Feeling Joy For I am Redeemed I am a Child of The Eternal God Who Made Me Who Minds Me Who Comforts My Days Who is Giving Me a Bright Mansion At The End of Earth's Days!

Take Jesus - He Rescues! Take Jesus - He Saves! He is The King - Eternal The Ancient of Days! Render True Praise unto Him Forever ... and ALWAYS!
I wanted to be Really Rich Until I saw the Decay That was present, and oh, so rampant Amongst those with whom Wild Riches held Sway I wanted to be Really Famous Until I saw the Decay That was present and oh, so rampant Amongst those with whom Notoriety held Sway I really wanted to be Powerful Until I saw the decay That was present, and oh, so rampant Amongst those with whom Earthy Corrupting Power held Sway I wanted to be Seen To be Heard To be Welcomed ... Understood Until I saw what the Herding Mentality Did to those Bathing in its Murky Water of Dragon Blood I came upon a Plain Altar Made of Undressed Stones and Plain Rocks Tended by a Gentle Shepherd Face marred, hands and feet sullied - I stood in shock He looked at me - His smile ... I saw Glory He talked with me - His voice ... Slow Water Flood Raging Checked Welcoming Pure Gold And I heard The Call of The Ages Saying:
"Come To Me!
Let Me Wash You!
I Shed My Living, Eternal,
Saving, Blood for You!"
To say I was shocked ... Understatement! To say I was horrified ... Let me get away from here! To say I was sad, happy, afraid, moved, running away ... I walked to Him! He help out His Arms ... I fitted in The Cleft I knew no alarm! Home. I felt At Home. I felt Comforted. Redeemed. Forgiven. Truly Blessed. Happy. So Joyous. Triumphant. My Jesus ... The Shepherd ... of Eternal Rest! I no longer felt I wanted The World's Goods Its Applause Affirmation Its Stress I needed to be with My Jesus At Home ... with The Eternal ... The King of The Blessed. I gave The Wants the old "Heave Ho!" I gave Pressure To Succeed The Seven G's! Good Gracious! God Is Mine! Go Graze Green Grass! And showed The Wicked World The Front of my Behind! I need to Live with My Jesus I need to Worship My God I need a Gold Crown to Wear in Glory Where I'll spend enjoy Eternity Eternity with My Lord as My Eternal Reward!
