Bless me Lord God

Bless me Lord God. Uphold me with your righteous right hand. Bless me Lord God. Uphold me to be a righteous man. Bless me Lord God to go outside and let your light shine. Bless me Lord God to never quit and stay on the grind. I want to be the one that loves you enough to keep your commandments. I gave up on you so many times, it felt so bad I couldn’t stand it. Never will this soldier turn his back on you again and eat his own vomit. I lived that lifestyle too long already, it’s not for me so just calm it. So many people think I’m crazy, I lost my mind with this Jesus stuff. Funny thing is they say it while they’re drinkin’ and takin’ puffs of weed and cigarettes that alter the state of their mind as if they were able to think clear enough to tell me about mine. My mind stays in the Spirit of God, I’m high as a kite. But my high doesn’t come from a drug, man I’m high on life and the way and the truth who is none other than Jesus Christ. I can’t explain it anyway else, dude I ain’t rollin’ the dice, takin’ a chance on eternal life. Man, you got me messed up thinkin’ I’m gonna give up on the one that changed me from the chest up. From the chest up? Yea, when God got ahold of me he changed my heart, mind and soul and made me whole and gave me a fresh start. Got me feelin’ fresh and clean like a hundred million bucks. God’s cleanin’ service got my outfit lookin’ like a bright white tux. Fully complete with matchin’ bright white gloves and clean white shoes. Clean white shoes are for dancin’, singin’, goin’ and tellin’ the good news. The white gloves are for testin’ others to see if they’re livin’ right. Might catch a sight of them lifted high to the sky glowin’ bright. Light shinin’ on ‘em from Jesus Christ in the midst of a storm. So keep on callin’ me strange, it’s true. I broke away from the norm. Broad is the path that leads to destruction, eternal burnin’ in flames. Ask me again if I wanna be normal, I guarantee I’ll tell you the same. Normal only leads me to the gates of hell. Why you think I gotta go and tell and tell and tell everyone the message of salvation by death on a cross. It’s a narrow path and the only way. The rules were made by the boss. God the Father, the one and only, the greatest there ever was. Whatever he says goes. It’s clear in the bible why he does what he does. He keeps on givin’ chance after chance to turn away from our sin. He’s offering everyone under the sun everyday a ticket to win a trip to eternal paradise, that’s right y’all it never ends. An everyday party in heaven. Sure thing, if you only accept it. Admit to the God of creation that you didn’t play by the rules, the standard of perfection by which you’re tested. Can’t pay the dues. Jesus already did it, admit it, just ask God to forgive it. He’s faithful to heal you if you confess it, undress it, reveal it and spill it, put it out on the table and let him deal with it. Let it be noted, bring it out in the open, and let the light of day show it. Put the camera on it and take a picture and give it to God, let him blow it to pieces. He’ll lift the weight of the world completely off of your shoulders. He’ll take you just as you are. It doesn’t matter how colder you are than everyone else in the world, he didn’t come for the well. Jesus was sent to the sick and in the midst of affliction he flicked the devil away when he tempted God in the wilderness he had scripture to say in return to the trickery and the devilish ways. He made it sound really good, but god knew just how to play the games that everyone brought at him. Did he think he would falter and drop the ball just like Adam did? You can try really hard, Satan, and try to confuse us and make us look really stupid. But in the end who’s the winner? I tend to think it’s the sinner who confessed Jesus as savior, ‘cuz he’s got somethin’ much greater than Satan livin’ inside him. Deny him and lose out on the possession of heaven. Accept him, be blessed as Jesus’ join heir and leaven the whole loaf. Do you get it? I mean your family and loved ones. ‘Cuz Jesus saves the whole household and when he does it he does it. He holds the north and the south pole and he spins it around and he sets the planets in orbit. There’s nothing he cannot do. With Jesus everything’s possible. He’s the Lord of all Lords and king of every obstacle. You may say that I’m crazy but I’ll bringin’ the gospel. Preachin’ the kingdom of heaven and of the son of the father. Why bother botherin’ the lost soul who’s satisfied with his sinnin’? Because there’s hope for the hopeless and there’s a way for all to live. So if you think you’re unsavable, think again, you are favorable to the merciful gracious God that sent his only begotten son To die on a cross for you. I know it sounds too good to be true. It’s that plain and that simple though, even the children can grasp it. Salvation’s available to everyone who will ask it. By Jesus’ death and resurrection even a killer can have it. You’ve heard the good news now. It’s all up to you now. Please ask yourself what to do now. I did all I can do now. I pray to god you believe it, open your heart and receive it. And let the great love of Jesus put together your pieces. Jason Hawkins 2009
