Failure
Failure
Luke 10:40 New English Translation (NET Bible)
40 But Martha was distracted with all the preparations she had to make, so she came up to Him and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do all the work alone? Tell her to help me.”
Oh! My son you work so hard
you’re distracted by much serving.
Why do you crave works so much
and are governed by outward matter?
Can’t you fulfill God’s orders quietly?
Without drawing attention
to yourself and the works
as The Lord gets lost in the latter
Confusion causes unrest, you know
and never seeks the Will of God
You labor according to your ideas
for carnality craves works
You fight a loosing battle somehow
and as long as you are busy
you won’t see the trees for the forest
and in vain your “will” will perk
If you can’t stand the heat, you know
get out of the kitchen
Well maybe it is on fire
burning to the ground
To give your body a sacrifice
is totally unasked for
For if there is no charity
your works are failure bound
