Christian Roulette - Wild West Style
Christian Roulette (Wild West Style)
In Russian Roulette, there's just one in six chance
With one bullet in guns (a cylindrical spin),
You will die with one pull of the trigger.
Such games are just LUCK I should say in advance
And those odds to a gambler are meager.
In Christian Roulette, you will lose though or win
Based on faith and not works, God knows (trigger's not yours),
This life ends in a digital step with no cures.
If faith is an answer that's more than a joke
It is faith in Christ's faith where man's hope I think lies,
God as Father of all, this life blessing,
Salvation unearned, for Christ's death, ends sin's Yoke
No man groks the pure joy of confessing:
Not wrath of God missed, but in freedom's surprise!
As you rise from your knees to meet day in His Grace
Does Christ's gift bring you shame? See God's LOVE on His face!
Lord, Grace us with grace, in divining Your Will,
Help us see the real sin in our judgments and hate,
Shame false pride as we grow as believers!
Purge demons that plague us, emotions distill,
As we learn how to be good receivers.
Help turn judgment inward when we can't relate!
Don't let logs in my flawed eye cause me to pretend
That the Bible's intention is only my friend!
