Philippians 3:8
8 More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to
the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things—
indeed, I regard them as dung!—that I may gain Christ,
Exception in values
Wandering around the Cross ... never resurrected
Trampling in the Blood of Christ, the only begotten Son
Always wondering why … no one is connected
to you and your ideas when work needs to be done
There is no simple reason why it stayed just in the head
The Gospel as provided should have gotten to the heart
So keep insisting on and on and so constantly being had
through mental interpretations and being filled with smarts
Shame, Oh shame! ... Is my life as a Christian
Labeled in the open of what I am really not
But I believe and on that I am insisting
Good on the outside while the inner seems to rot
Deceiving self always ... what a foretaste of a great failure
Going on without God’s direction on a road of trackless sand
Many footsteps intermixing as most seem to be turning back
In the circles of their imagination ... the beaten of the land
Others follow these infractions ... spiritual sickness the disease
A price was paid for Salvation ... at a cost beyond perception
No other cure in the making ... for it is here not to please
All what needs to be done ... is to accept the free gift from Heaven
