Flesh crumbles

Hebrews 5:11 

The Need to Move on to Maturity

11 On this topic we have much to say and it is difficult to explain,

 since you have become sluggish in hearing.

 

Flesh 

 

Is it true? Can it be?

Is death the foundation?

Of everything I know and see

except the plan of salvation?

 

If death is dead and life beyond

Is it beyond its comprehension?

How can I built on death alike

and call it good intention

 

Whatever tried even in thought?

I can’t destroy that foundation

Death of flesh needs be maintained

and taught to this generation

 

Even when advancing in spirit

whose growth shows in explanation

That the flesh has power to entice

and can’t repair its own foundation
