Are you so inclined
Refuse to be entwined
Volition to be strong
Devoid of sin, belong
Let truth flee from your grasp
Returning to your past
The inclination wills
Desire is what kills
Or are you set apart
Deceitful, wretched heart
Your destiny fulfilled
Your cross left on the hill
You try so hard and yet
What promises beset
That you would change your mind
Leave all the world behind
But, are you so inclined
The mystery, sublime
That God doth love you so
Despite your filth and woe
Have you no respect
That you would turn, neglect
From His true majesty
His humble, honesty
What trials did you conceive
You couldn’t just believe
In One who really cared
To love Him, if you dared
The soul is full of will
Emotions over spill
With intellect and mind
His plea to you, be kind
His holiness unfolds
From dark to light, we’re told
His grace, one can’t resist
His love for you, assists
While gaining trust and awe
You’re breathing through a straw
Until you find relief
In reasoned faith, belief
Who fills the starry night
Who beckons dawn and light
Who gives you joy and hugs
And lights the lightening bug
With all this, so much more
To worship and adore
‘‘Twas He who made His plan
He’s asking, if you can
Come closer, He invites
Relationship, delights
So intimate and true
His only point to view
Abandon all these thoughts
Of what you won or lost
He longs for what’s inside
The love that He provides
You’re not alone, in vain
He’ll take away your pain
He sees your torment, too
Your fear that sticks like glue
That’s why He came to face
To bear your sin, erase
The stronghold, crush his grasp
From the fiendish, evil asp
From beginning to the end
He’s looking for you, friend
Pursuit, eternal, strong
With Jesus, you belong
His victory, complete
His splendor, so replete
The Logos did create
The universe, innate
Who is this God you see
Ineffable is He
Or is it in your mind
A trinket you can wind
Is He a pot of clay
You mold and cast away
Or could He be your King
In adoration, bring
To cast your crowns to Him
Your worship, bow, begin
To honor and obey
His love for us, conveyed
It’s simple, understand
It’s not in HIs commands
That you will find His love
His glory from above
The choice is up to you
Both necessary, due
The price for freedom, cost
The sacrifice, the cross
So, in defining terms
What lessons have you learned
You’ll follow Him, or not
Good luck, that’s all you’ve got
