WHERE I GOT RESCUED FROM

I crawled out the hull of a ship

That was holding me hostage

Bounded to

A death ship

It was Dark and damp

The view was so blurry

Blinding at times

My eyes hurt real bad

Their blood shot

My ears to dirty to hear

Trying to wipe the dirt out

But packed more in

My finger are very dirty 

My hands stink

Along with my unclean clothes

I’m badly infected

I can barely stand myself

I can hardly breathe

My throat is very dry

I have nothing to drink

No clean water

One of my lungs have collapsed

No food to eat

Nothing in my stomach

I keep throwing up

I’m feeling queasy

My head is spinning

My heart is weakly pumping life

I fainted quite a few times  

My joints ache

My wrists are shackled

My knees are weak

My feet black and crusted

My toes have sores

Bound by the laws of sin

Chained to my dark ugly ways

In a ship destined

For idle drifting to nowhere

All the occupants DIE

I didn’t want to die   

Not like this

Not with no hope

I had to be free

Through my ashy lips

With all the strength I had

I cried for help

My rotten teeth rattled

My dirty eyes released soot

I breathed new life in my lungs

Those shackles feel off

I was given strength

To crawl out

The hull of this ship

Of sin and shame

I stepped over many skeletons

Over so much filth

Made it to the deck

Where the SON was shining

The more I walked to the light

My legs and joints got stronger

I got to the side

where I could see the water

I threw myself over the side

Out of this bondage 

Off this vessel

Plunged into the deep depths of conviction

I died

That’s what I wanted

That’s what I needed

Then was revived through JESUS CHRIST

Who washed me up with his blood

Flushed my eyes out

Now I see the cross clearly

I got a heart transplant

Then a blood transfusion

A new life

Cleaned out my ears

Now I hear my shepherd voice only

Now I know where to follow

My hands don’t smell no more

Because I don’t touch unclean things

Their always lifted toward heaven

Waiting to be touched

I was rescued , salvaged , saved

Then given power

Then after that the holy ghost

I breath in fresh air

Not that disgusting stench of sin

I raise my voice to praise the LORD

Who paid my ransom

Cleaned me up

Made me

Spiritually handsome

Put my feet on solid ground

Found he me

A vexed , vile hot mess   

When nobody else cared

He reached out to my soul with love

I thank him every day

For that

I AM WAITING

I am waiting 
I am ANTICIPATING 
An arrival 
I'm preparing 
Getting ready 
Making sure I'm on time 
Not going to be late
I'm WATCHING the CLOCK 
I got to be there WAITING
Before he gets here
I want my face to be one HE sees
I'm dressed so he could RECOGNIZE me
I put on the CLOTHES he gave me
I'm standing on HIS word
HE said HE'S coming BACK
HE wouldn't lie to me 
HE CAN'T lie
HE PROMISED me
I believe in HIM
Thats why I'm Waiting 
I'm excited HE'S RETURNING
Because HE'S not STAYING
HE'S COMING FOR ME
I will be LEAVING with HIM
With HIM I'll live FOREVER
Not ONLY me 
My brothers and sisters
Who are awaiting , ALSO
There are DRESSED
With REDEMPTION wear
The SAME I have ON
Linen dipped and WASHED 
In the BLOOD of the one who is ARRIVING
We are Pressing , STRIVING on the UP-WARD way 
HEAVEN in our view
Our CAPTAIN of our ship is about to pull up the ANCHOR 
The run way is CLEARED and we're waiting for DEPARTURE
BOOOM BOOOM!!(Subway train)
"WATCH THE CLOSING DOORS!" 
Farewell  
So-long 
Good bye
"ALL ABOARD!" 
All my WAITING will have paid off

BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD
WHO TAKETH AWAY THE SINS 
OF THE WORLD 
Is COMING!!
Will you be ready??

IT DOESN'T ADD UP

It doesn’t add up!

Let me see if I got this right

Just let me see if I understand

You’re showing me this world

All the pleasures it has

The money, the homes, the cars

The stars the limit

Prestige & fame

Set me on a pedestal

I'm thinking this can’t be true

I can spend all my time watching TV

I can spend all my time at the movies

All the things I love to do

Listen to worldly music stations

Anticipating new sounds

Creating emotions for………..

More worldly cravings

I get to have friends to hang out with

When they’re not real

They are there for only syphoning  

Just takers

Stealing my time

Feeding off my energy

Spending my money

The girls

They call me honey, sugar, baby, lover

And when they can’t get their way

All that

Honey-ing , sugar-ing , babying , & loving

Is dispersed, displayed to other brethren

Just like I was

It doesn’t add up!

And you keep on telling me

That I can pray to GOD!

Then in the next breath

I can use profanity?

You say I’m a child of the king!

When I’m not REPRESENTING HIM?

It just not adding up

When!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bible says

“ BE HOLY “ for he is HOLY!

And this same wonderful HE!

The great amazing architect

Who died for me!

So he can allow me a pardon of

Freedom

From this same sin

You’re trying to get me to indulge in

I was washed CLEAN with his precious

Personally sin-free blood

Turn my back on him?

When he offers life more abundantly

He promised

When I’m sick, to heal me

When I’m tired, down & don’t feel happy

He’ll uplift me!

I got a great deal on a flight 

To a mansion in the sky!

Where there is no more pain

No more tears will come to my eyes any more

I will live forever never get old

In a non-mortal body

Never die again!

Like you’ll burn & expire

That’s your end!

The dusk of your remains
Will fertilize the universe

No more!

While I will reign with him

To worship & praise him

Like it was intended to be

I’m not sorry

It just doesn’t add up

My LORD, his nail scarred hands & feet

You want to compete with this?

MAYBE!!

I missed something that would make me ignore

His goodness & mercy?

Nah!!!
I don't think so

Hey devil never mind

I’m not buying into that

It’s not adding up to any thing

But destruction
I have to reject that in the UN-DEFEATED
CHAMPION NAME JESUS!!!
Along with his ALL powerful BLOOD!!
No thank you!
