NO STRESS CHRISTIAN

Try and ‘be good’
our culture says
we can and should
be good – it says

To that aim we add
the obvious goal of Godliness
“Be ye perfect” the Bible says
and we strive with all our mightiness

But we fail and self-condemn
the world it mocks and blames
Nothing we show to hope in
for relief from guilt and shame
from fear and hate and harm
like them we play the game
we look to them the same
no faith is shown in Jesus’ Name!

Where did we get skewed?
“Be perfectly good” is not our goal
But love and be mature
Read and hear that’s what we’re told
mercy and grace is where we rest
to lean on Him and do our best
unafraid, we run to Him
When upset of sad or stressed

Yes Lord…
