So Near…So Far (The Inner…or Outer)

The soldiers were gambling
For Jesus’ garments to win
Concerned with the outer
So blind to their sin.

So younger or older
Both need to repent
Whether passion or pride
Instead, live as Father meant.

Do you drink from the fount
That never runs dry
Living waters that flow
And forever, satisfy?

We must seek God, alone
In the quietness, and pray
Ask God, to guide us
To draw near, every day.

Know our days upon earth
Our stewardship of time
All our talents and treasures
Belong to the Divine.

Are we pouting, or praising
Is our attitude, right?
Are we thankless or thankful
When we’re out of sight?

Man is driven by sin
So focused, enticed
Instead, see God’s perspective
Stay centered, on Christ.

Then, instead of the darkness
We rather, shine bright
In place of the evil
Share His truth and light.

May our wants and our will
Be in line, with the Lord
Lest our hearts become hard
And resentments, are stored.

Feel desperate within
Transform me, O Lord
Am needing great change
May grace be outpoured.
