Pollution

John 7:38 

 

38 Anyone who believes in Me may come and drink!

For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of Living Water will flow from His Heart.’”[a]

Alone

 

The Cross deals in totality with the old creation.

You cannot hold back any part from the gift of Salvation.

We need to be delivered through identification.

To become Christ’s reality instead of an imitation.

 

Receive The Lord by Faith as personal Savior

To be lead into death by The Holy Spirit’s favor

Desires will surely hunger for co-death in this endeavor

Regardless of how much we know and try to figure

 

Principles and reason floating towards the surface

On the river called nothingness flowing to the sea

People drinking to quench a thirst that’s common

That never ever satisfies and such will always be

 

At the spring’s origination is where we ought to drink

It is still pure and clean … from way before the Fall

The river absorbs pollution and starts quickly to stink

Flowing through man’s minds … that’s natural after all

 

Sailing against the current searching for the Truth

Passing by the thirsty who think you to be the aloof

Why do any searching while the water here is good?

We’re used to it anyway that is well understood.

 

As winds of time seem changing and no force fills the sails

Surely when not moving I will start to drift backwards.

Should I go the drinker’s shore … showing that I failed

Or pray for wisdom … and let my pilot be The Path

 

Maybe God will speak and have the thirsty come aboard

Until the wind picks up … to get me to progress again 

The folks, who’ll come onboard, are able to man the oars

And discover blessings in The Ark … not made by man
