Reality
Romans 12:1 New King James Version (NKJV)
Living Sacrifices to God
12 I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
Reality
Am I sidetracked by self? A dreamer who was long forgotten
Am I where I need to be or where wants and wishes drive me?
Got to be home by twelve in my frame so ill-begotten
In my search for being free as it seems to despise me
Freedom is only found in pure love for others
Our own interpretation keeps it attached to ball and chain
Am I Heaven bound although I don’t seem to bother
About other’s salvation and for the hope and helpless in pain
“Oh, death where is your sting?” I can’t even feel it
Am I so far beyond that I ignore its very presence?
Where should I begin and where can I appeal it?
When will I confront my duty and its essence?
