A circumcised heart Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

My Jewish Background-Tefillin (Phylacteries)

So while able, to wrap Tefillin Had my inner barrier, of sin
Understood, Messiah Yeshua
Forgives and purifies, within.

So, life is not random ‘luck’
God knows our will and ways
Sees our heart’s intent
God decides our lot, always.

So our heart, we must examine
Must guard, keep sealed
To be healthy, not hardened
Circumcised, not diseased.

Well, I don’t mind a dog
Be it Collie or Beagle
But I’m sad for this driver
Who prefers dogs to people.

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

With no Temple, no blood offering
God’s Law and Prophets foretold
They deny Messiah, Yeshua
Who alone … for all atoned.

Be repentant, not rebellious
Obedient, His Spirit-filled
Submitted, not stubborn
Seek God, not self-willed.

Too often, each day
It’s all about me
My feelings and thoughts
Too self-centered, I see.

Grew up with tradition
Lived under the Law
Rabbinical Judaism, Yiddish
Was the life that I saw.

Reconciled thro’ His death
To God, in one body
Fulfilling God’s Law
A new covenant, to embody.
