Repent and believe Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Futility or Fullness?

And put on the new man
Created according to God
In true righteousness and holiness
In His fullness, now daily trod.

Tho’ many called, few are chosen
The self-righteous, are cast out
Into outer darkness
All the unclean, not allowed.

Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?

Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.

So coming daily, in repentance
Wash me whiter than snow
The blood of Jesus, still cleanses
God’s forgiveness, ever flows.

Let us pray, for repentance
Share Jesus’ Good News
But despair not, at injustice
God will avenge, if they refuse.

Yet beware, for some claim
Miraculous signs, have ended
Yet many Muslims, in dreams & visions
Keep seeing Jesus, to Him surrender.

So not my works, self-efforts
My offerings, being zealous
But Jesus only, makes pure
By faith righteous, not religious.

So, we celebrate Christmas
But are missing the Messiah
No manger no mention
Of our need, to look higher.

This mystery unfolded
God reached out as man
As the Lord of Creation
As Messiah, His plan.
