Confused? Really?
Matthew 23:25 New English Translation
25 “Woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
Are you confused? Really?
Lover’s quarrel, that’s a first. Where did that come to originate?
Possibly me, or is it you, who defined something as wrong?
We will work it out, you’ll see, there is always tomorrow
And it is a fact indeed that we all seem to belong
Author of Love, foundational, He resides somewhere
Smilingly presenting Grace in showers from above
It rains on everyone you know, the just and the unjust
For that’s what Grace is all about, a never-ending love
Open your mouth and drink the drops. Let it cool your face
Don’t run for an umbrella as it splashes down on you
Please take it in its fullness and share it with the human race
It is free to offer as it channels right through you
A never-ending stream; why do we try to dam it up?
Why do we want to keep it for ourselves? What belongs to all of us
Just the case of our “old” nature that we try to polish every day?
To make it appear, what it isn’t, dress in excess plush.
A never-ending struggle it is, what is supposed to be
But most of us don’t struggle. We compromise it away
The values first bestowed on us like “love one another.”
Or “love your neighbor as yourself” every day.
A 1500 hundred dollar suit and an eight thousand dollar watch
I live in a palace, but believe me, I am meek and humble
Possessions don’t mean a thing to me, but I have a personal jet
I need it for my ministry, and you don’t think I’m here to fumble?
Jan Wienen
