2 Corinthians 7:10 

10 For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin

and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow.

But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

 

 

Why should there be sorrows ... when blessings abound?

Is there a difference ... between temporal and everlasting?

Is not tomorrow lived fully ... in every perceived sound

And is not the hindrance ... the lack of precepts in the casting?

 

Is not our confusion ... a self-determined choice?

Are not the things we hunger for ... ruling our hearts?

Is it not temptation ... that brings power to our voice?

Is that what we are living for... our desires from the start?

 

Does not segregation ... tie us all together?

Are not we all the same ... in our chosen difference?

Is our need for salvation ... not based on whether

Depravity is a game ... or a conditional hindrance?
