Compromise

Proverbs 19:21 

21 There are many plans in a person’s mind,
but it is the counsel of the Lord which will stand.

 

Compromise

 

A common theme in compromise ... all gone are absolutes

A little here and a little there ... we sell God’s attributes

 

We have to get along somehow ... no matter who will pay

This is the way we live our life ... selling out every day

 

Can one give without losing self … one issues that is wrong

For just peace and happiness or just to get along?

 

Who knows right from wrong ... you say it is just your opinion?

Here is where the problem lies ... or right has its own dominion

 

Do issues originate within the mind ... where opinions roam?

Are they transformed from the heart ... where life and death just groan?

 

Others don’t fit in compromise ... it is a battle fought within

Where the victim and the winner ... are you just a self-made twin
