Topic: GREED (avarice, particularly for wealth and things) (01/22/15)
THE WORLD OR JESUS


If I could give you the world I would
But it wouldn’t ease the pain
If I could give you the world at peace I would
But real peace comes from God alone
If I could give you a large house I would
But only my father can give this to you

If I gave you a bible what would you do?
Would you read it or hide it away
If I gave you my love what would you do?
Would you accept or turn in fear
If I gave you God’s peace what would you do?
Would you rest or still worry and fear

Would you look to my Jesus?
Or look to the world
Would you give him your life?
Or wander away
Would you accept his love and words today?
Or would you just turn away

The choice is yours I cannot say more
Will you in faith fling open the door?
Or stay shut away in pride and fear
Would you trust in my Jesus?
Or face him in death

Wonderful poem! I really liked the parallelism and the rhythm, especially. You did a great job.

This seems to be a poem desiring a commitment.

To be faithful to Christ/God, this commitment must be made daily.

This is a good reminder for us to be renewing our commitment each day.

Nice work.
