SOUL DETOX

My soul's on fire
My heart's heavy
This burden on me, a levy
I placed on me, it's dire

I run from pillar to post, searching
Who'd help remove this burden, scorching
My heart burdened, pleading
Remove this from me, bleeding

With my hands I ate myself heavy
With my eyes I envied, gravely
Made new friends everywhere namely
Sloth, Lust, Anger, Pride, and Greed.

My heart's muddled up not a wee bit
By my efforts to persist at being me
Refusing to acknowledge that within me
Death and all it sees fit.

I need a purge, more than skin deep
To get the life that's beyond me
I need a bath, not with water
But that which beautifies my soul

I've come to know that in the son's blood
Is all that I need, my life's flood
In him I remain, grounded firm
To him's my allegiance I affirm.

"In him I remain, grounded firm
To him's my allegiance I affirm..." this reminded me so much of 2Timothy 2:11
"If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself." -our one true friend! thank you for sharing ;)
