More Than a Mere Word

We all in chains were tightly bound

As slaves to sin and shame

Banned from entering holy ground

Cursed to eternal flame

Though Jesus paid to make us loose

Through Jesus stripes we’re healed

But untried faith’s of little use

If souls remain unsealed

Through The Spirit we come alive

We’ve strength to serve as planned

But who can stand live and thrive

Failing to understand

Obedience leads to Heaven’s shore

Through faith we’ve eyes to see

Prayer will guide to The Father’s door

Where love is entry’s key

Love is far more than just a word

When Fire burns deep inside

But one should practice what we’ve heard

For God to open wide

Knowing one’s heart one’s soul one’s mind

Knowing each secret thought

Though man may say that love is blind

God sees each true report

For every deed we must account

Where truth alone can reign

Where none may scale God’s sacred mount

With wrinkle spot or stain

The option stands, the time is now!

Before we reach that place

We must repent, our knees must bow

To plead for Heaven’s grace…..We all in chains were tightly bound

As slaves to sin and shame

Banned from entering holy ground

Cursed to eternal flame

Though Jesus paid to make us loose

Through Jesus stripes we’re healed

But untried faith’s of little use

If souls remain unsealed

Through The Spirit we come alive

We’ve strength to serve as planned

But who can stand live and thrive

Failing to understand

Obedience leads to Heaven’s shore

Through faith we’ve eyes to see

Prayer will guide to The Father’s door

Where love is entry’s key

Love is far more than just a word

When Fire burns deep inside

But one should practice what we’ve heard

For God to open wide

Knowing one’s heart one’s soul one’s mind

Knowing each secret thought

Though man may say that love is blind

God sees each true report

For every deed we must account

Where none may scale God’s sacred mount

With wrinkle spot or stain

The option stands, the time is now!

Before we reach that place
