Flashpoint

This ransomed soul bleeds briefly
but not because HIS sacrifice
was any less than Sin required.
Rather since self clings to both
Calvary’s cross and this, my life;
so Pride’s “Lukewarm” status stands admired.

Thus often being wounded
so, on “middle ground”, I stand;
a fool who daily welcomes needless pains.
If no more was self enslaved!
GOD! I beg! Please understand!
Oh, grant me freedom from my errant chains.

Then with sudden strength, HIS light
shone upon this desperate soul
with sovereign revelation and release!
“Such pains are self inflicted!
No one can escape their toll.
save - willingly - their ways they do concede.”

“So I call for your concessions!
Press until your heart ignites!
But why distant and apart do you remain?
Set now the air surrounding
well ablaze with Worship light.
and no more from separate shores towards ME pray!”

As HIS servant in your service,
