Chosen
Though
We think of what
Though
We think of how
We want to be.
We are already loved,
We already chosen,
And that is enough.
“And why take ye thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow;
they toil not,
neither do they spin:
and yet I say unto you,
That even Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God
so clothe the grass of the field,
which to day is,
and to morrow is cast into the oven,
shall he not much more clothe you,
O ye of little faith?”
– Matthew 6:28-30 KJV
Fear
The biggest liar
To ever live
To you the credit I give:
Fear.
Fear,
The biggest lie
To ever live.
The biggest chain
On the foot of men.
The stumbling block,
The crippling belief
Of unachieved.
The mock of faith
When it’s believed.
A belief that scatters
Worth and pain.
All to make us
Regretful and ashamed.
Fear,
To you be the time
You’re unbelieved
And killed deep beneath
The air we breathe,
Beneath the oxygen
of belief
And power.
Fear is
A really bad liar.
The only fear
That is worthy to receive
The fear of God
That brings us
To our knees.
