He Doesn’t Even Know

He Doesn’t Even Know

Oh, Lord, my Lord!
You told me “Mark”.
I long to share with him
The Light of Jesus’ spark!

What is it that hinders me?
When I see him the smoke to swallow
My heart hurts bitterly
How he is gripped in sin to wallow.

He doesn’t even know that
He’s one of Satan’s countless slaves
When his deceitful heart
Another cigarette it craves.

I saw Jesus’ nailed pierced hand,
As lighting a cigarette
Mark’s hand trembled.
He doesn’t even know that
His soul is being strangled.

The sinful desires of the flesh
He’s fast to satisfy.
Wouldn’t he let Jesus’ blood
His heart to purify?

How is he gonna let Him?
How is he gonna know?
Is there somebody there
Who’s going to show?

To show him the Truth, the Life, the Light
To show him the Way out
To help him get spiritual sight
Out of the bondage of sin’s drought!

He is dying for Living Water
Sadly came again my self’s fears
The burden of my family not saved
My poison this smoke mirrors.

I’m just observing…
Mark’s dying in sinful smoke.
“What if my parents get to know?”
This question attacks me, to choke.

Should I preach salvation in Jesus?
Is it I that is going to show?
But how!? When I’m afraid that mom
the Bible in the trash will throw?

O, Lord, my Lord, show me Your will!
Am I not made perfect in love?
To remove fear…
I want to be innocent as dove.

Yet, wise as a serpent.
To break the devil’s scheme.
Mark doesn’t even know…
May the Light be not just a beam!

May Holy Almighty Convicting Fire
Burn brightly steadily within Mark!
May he know and be set free
In the Light that’s not just a spark.

O LORD, You gave me the answer!
Like You, I need to be meek.
Thank You, dear LORD for revealing!
I take no thought,
for the Spirit of my Father shall speak!!

Desolation

Desolation

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
- Hebrews 9:14

 
I feel away
Crying and breaking forth
As if the others are at far south
I - at the distant north

In my desolation
I gladly rejoice.
It seems the others
Make a religious choice.

Are they directed by law?
Is it just what my mind thinks?
Or is God revealing?
Is it what the Holy Spirit leads?

Is it wrong to say
That easy is Jesus’ yoke
When in the Lamb’s blood
We always choose to soak?

But do we choose?
It’s definitely hard to yield
For we love ourselves
In religious thorn-filled field.

Yet – is it hard? –
When we hate ourselves
Follow Jesus’ sayings
In sacrificial praise.

Cast your burdens on the Lord
The way is truly narrow
But please! Do not fall
Into religion – shallow.

Righteous only in Jesus’ sacrifice
The gate’s strait
Let the Holy Spirit move
For our GOD IS GREAT!

What does it mean
Ourselves to deny?
Religious reasoning makes me
Again in desolation to cry!

Preaching Jesus Christ and Him crucified
Will either harden heart or it’ll break
Bringing to ashes
All self-righteousness – fake

So is it easy to deny self?
His commandments – not grievous
Or is it hard to stop
The ‘do this & that’ cycle vicious?

Not grievous
For Jesus said: “It is finished.”
Are we purged in the Lamb’s blood?
Why is the Holy Fire diminished?

Is the object of our faith right?
Are we living sacrifices?
Nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified!
God’s grace suffices.

It’s easy when to the Holy Spirit
Our hearts we do not harden
But let them break and be filled
Grow Living Water garden

Do we realize that we’re placed
In Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection?
I’m crucified with Christ
Breaking forth and crying in desolation.
