Restoring Pangea: My New Year's Resolution

My New Year's Resolution

I made the Man of Sorrows sorry by all my foolish lies.
I drove the nails, I raised the cross
I was the reason that He died

Utterly unfaithful then I added anger to my sin
In a world already dark to me, I closed my eyes and would not see

So I may kick and I may scream, say many things I do not mean
Hold blindly to what is not true, but I will not walk away from You.

Just why I choose to disobey
I simply cannot tell

Why I blame you when I rebel and weep for wounds I give myself
Then screaming at an empty sky, I search for you and wonder why…

Though I cause you so much agony, you refuse to walk away from me

Don’t read me pointless poems friend
Don’t diagnose, don’t condescend
Though you may be right to disagree
I need someone to weep with me

I made the Man of Sorrows sorry by all my foolish lies
I drove the nails, I raised the cross
I was the reason that He died

So I may kick and I may scream,
Hold blindly to what is not true
But I will not walk away from you.

Hey, thanks for your interaction at The Brew. It adds a lot to the site.

I'm sure you're pretty busy but would you ever want to write for The Brew? If so, email me at eric@caffeinatedstudio.com
I ask because of your addressing Emergent Church aspects in your comments.
The March topic for The Brew is the Emergent Church.
How'd you find out about The Brew?

...And there was no longer any sea... What is Restoring Pangea?

The World as one still needs to be one in every way - physically ideologically, socially, economically, etc. Pangea Restored is a fully-orbed vision of what the world could be if the borders and barriers that most separate us were removed, literally, and the New World was reborn with Peace reigning. Let His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven..

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,

...and there was no longer any sea...

‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away"...He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Revelation 21

Cause vs. Effect

If I couldn't see I'd be more affective If I was careful I wouldn't be here If I was courageous I would still fear If I had a million dollars I'd have a big house in the Bahamas. If I had a dollar I'd have a small house, somewhere in the Saharas. If I didn't own anything, I'd be able to receive everything If I had everything I'd be missing something If this was a song, I'd write it If it was a poem, it doesn't rhyme If i could live any life it would be my own If I could only tell you one thing, it would be, "Come Home"
