From the Inside Out
Show that a change has happened in your life.
A change that is more spiritual and pure.
Motivating a life that can endure.
Building conviction, not just mental strife.
All thoughts, interests, conduct now refocused.
You are not converted till your heart is new.
A transformation pure, divine, and true.
Where you are now born of God, so blessed.
The world might take one out of bad domains,
But Christ will take the bad out from the soul.
And find their spirit suddenly made whole.
Then they themselves escape such earthly chains.
The world molds people, changing their veneer,
But Christ will change the nature held so dear.
Engraved Upon You
Our garments washed to white before the Lord,
Through soiled deeds and thoughts that darkly stain,
Cleansed by the Lamb's pure blood, we lose the chain,
To stand absolved when judgment's time is scored.
Can we discard our pride and envy’s hoard,
For others loom so large within our eyes,
That we feel small, and act with dark disguise,
As if their gain makes us less to be adored.
The world proclaims we need both wealth and praise,
More handsome, more admired, possessions grand,
Yet in God’s eyes, all equally do stand,
No treasures more or less, within His gaze.
He loves us all, our flaws and strengths embraced,
In His great race, against sin we are graced.

Born Again
You should hear me, I verbalize
with vigour of my soul advise.
Image of God engraven on,
shown but not drawn with your crayon.
What it means to be born again?
Walking like him and don't pretend.
Looking at others through his eyes.
Speak of those with the greatest prize.
Change colors of your tie dye shirt.
Green of envy leaves lots a dirt.
Clean or bleach them to remove blue.
Strip out purple pride to clean you.
Careful not to touch unclean things
mingled names definitely stings.
