Poems II

Judge Me Not

Have you ever felt guilty walking into church
The weight of many eyes a friendly face in search

The pressure to stay in suffocation
The temptation to leave in great elation

Such discomfort what could it be:

Is it my shameful sin that hangs on me
Is it my reputation that proceeds me
Or is it just me inadequacy

Take comfort and know He alone is my judge
When I fall He will stand for me where people won’t budge

You don’t need approval from them but from Him alone
People cannot see your heart your intentions are unknown

Your shameful sins that hang on you that others see
Do not worry For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23

Your reputation and inadequacy in God’s House are not odd
The Body of Christ is made up of an imperfect people worshipping a perfect God

You know sometimes I feel just like a tweener
Sometimes fat yet sometimes leaner

Judged by Non Christians as a self righteous plea
Judged by Christians as a Non Righteous flea
But thank the Lord only He judges righteously

I am of He who created me for all to see
But judge me not by my act but of my life completely

For I strive for perfection and I won’t give in
I will improve on my being from where I’ve been

I will never be faultless but I am fulfilled for free
His grace is sufficient for me… for me… for me
His grace … is sufficient… for me…

Can You Feel It

Something blinds my eyes
I cannot see the end
But I strive for its completion
So my eyes can see again
Something excites my heart
I cannot stop the ferocious beats
But I sense a worthy cause
Overcoming all my defeats
Something keeps me calm
And I wait in eager bliss
Knowing it will come to me
Its something I cannot miss
Success, peace, fame, love,
I do not know
But everyday a little
the Lord will show
