Again
Again
Galatians 3:3
“Having begun with the Spirit
are you now made perfect by the flesh?”
A fresh start ... full of hope
things will be different this time.
I’ll do this ... and I’ll do that
and here we go again.
Starting off ... deep in the hole
I’ll just start digging deeper.
As long as I stay busy
I’ll be gone again.
I’ll dig my way to Heaven.
I’ll discipline myself.
I’ll keep my eyes on progress
so I won’t fail again.
Here and there I’ll rest a bit.
I’ll lean some on my shovel.
Am I the only one digging?
Can’t see ... it is so dark again.
A voice keeps softly saying:
“Let me get some wood
together we’ll built a ladder
to get to the light again”.
How can I trust a voice in darkness
since I know where I should go?
I think I’ll dig some deeper
but here is that voice again.
I am wore out and tired.
I just can’t go on no more.
I vaguely remember my new start
and here I failed again.
The voice is bringing lots of wood
I’m so tired I can’t help.
A ladder is formed in front of me
and here is that voice again.
The Word takes me by the hand
and lifts me to His breast.
He is climbing up the stairs
and I feel safe again.
I’m thinking about a new start
but He softly interrupts me.
“Let Me start a work in you”
and you won’t sit down again.
I’ll carry you all the way.
I will do all the labor
through you and your obedience
and it won’t be dark again.
