Not Seeking, Not Finding

And God gave us His Bible
The story of Israel, of man
Our fall, need for redemption
Messiah Jesus, God’s plan.

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.

Jesus showed forth God’s love
Crucified, for me and you
Had cried “Father, forgive them
They know not, what they do. “

“Therefore, you shall be perfect
Just as your Father in heaven”
Yeshua, the perfect Lamb of God
Messiah’s offering, for our transgression.

Jesus taught how to be
In our attitudes, our nature
What to strive for, as goals
Become like our Creator.

On the one hand, materialism
On the other, hope and feelings
Our relationships, ambitions
Our morality and meaning.

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

Yes, do build upon God’s Word
Not ideas, man produces
Our foundation, built on Truth
Not the latest, our culture chooses.

A new creature in Christ
The old, has passed away
A circumcision, without hands
Jesus opened, a new way.
