Immortal Until Their Work Is Done
Break the ground Commence our lives follow what we mind as real Our fleeting goals dilute our thoughts Choke on sand from our foundation Fabrication of our lives can be misled by suppressing truth We give ourselves to the world We deprave our minds and do what ought not be done And without excuse we build our house of cards for since creation God's invisible qualities his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen Being understood from what has been made So that we are without excuse For although we knew God We neither glorify nor give thanks Our thoughts become futile And our foolish hearts are darkened Although we claim to be wise We become fools

Revive the spirit of the low Restore the heart of the contrite Break not your yoke with the Lord Don't tear off your bonds of faith Your backsliding will rebuke you You reap what you sow Destruction for those Who sow their sinful lives But eternal life For those sowing light Do not be decieved Your actions bring great consequence Restore your dying soul For wide is the gate And broad is the road That leads to hell, many enter through it But small is the gat and narrow the road That leads to life. few find it

Sleep walk this earth, never lead just follow Fall into ruts and every day routine Our comfort zones, our safety blanket Color outside the lines and have your hands removed Authenticities not in our actions Apathetic living, we might as well be dead Lethargic duration, lukewarm in this life I know your deeds That you're neither cold nor hot So because you are lukewarm I will spit you from my mouth What would become of our lives If we put forth the effort to achieve Set standard wrought by merit With ambotions of validity I pledge my life to try

These are times that we must fight To keep in tact the words and truths we've etched Upon our hearts, our hearts that pump The blood thru veins, the blood sustains and the blood remains Vital to life, and I will write out in my blood the truth I know That brought me to my place in life And toward the light that beckons me To fall down on my knees and face the cross For Your blood cleanses me The chains that bind my soul released Your blood renews, Your blood rebirths Your blood refines, Your blood restores Wash me in Your blood Conversion, my second chance at life

In these days of lust can we still prevail? Rive out our hearts as ounishment if we fail Disgust ourselves with the worthless impure Potency for the day as we endure Disguised disease is seen as pleasure Distraught in thought given your glow Abandoned thought mistaken measure This sexual snare will never slow These selfish minutes, destroying years Read the words of lust Spelled out in tears Child's dead innocence You can't retrieve prostituted virginity You've done it all No stranger to the fall

Eyes fixed on goals of wealth and riches We reach out to recieve but never give In debt for our wants and neglect our needs Silver and gold the measure of a man Possessions posses Owned by ownership indebted distress Enter the gauntlet of dreams Acquire happiness by any means Content is the man that knows His worth relies in Christ For Godliness with contentment is great gain For we brought nothing into this world And we take nothing out For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil Some people eager for money Wandered from their faith And pierced themselves with many griefs

A spirit cast in stone, casehardened sanity Steadfast in credence, unable to falter I cannot slacken my standards A heart full of soundness My feet fixed and unswayable My faith is adamant Iron as straw and brass as rotton wood Contend not with me My faith is my stronghold Oh grave where is your victory? Oh death your sting? Death has been swallowed up in victory Therefore I stand firm And let nothing move me

You're wonderful, I'm powerless in your arms You've shown me love, in the surrounds of hate And restored my strength And I proclaim my life is Yours So break my will And surely not in vain I keep my life pure For great is my reward

Abasing episodes of life Prides candle lit at both ends Sharpening stone to the blade of a knife Refining fire your your wits to mend Reality's cold hand to lend A helping hand to bring you down No one is always in the lead No matter who you prick they'll bleed Judgements are easy When you're not being judged Let he who has no fault Cast the first stone All must drop their heads down All must still feel weakened All must face rejection All must face their death bed You without fault, cast the first stone Hypocrite Why can't we respect each others lives All must face their own path in this life We're so quick to find new things to hate Easier to destroy than create
