Poetry
Encircled by so great of a cloud of witness,
Putting off each weight of sin within focus;
Let us keep running the way it is marked,
Remaining on the pathway as we embarked;
Our eyes are fixed on Jesus as our guide,
Gone through pain when pierced in His side;
To hang on a cross by some for being hated,
Not caring for shame in the joy that waited;
With being seated on the right hand of God,
Serving as judge for those who are flawed;
Give thought to Him who suffered so much,
So that you may not be feeble or as such;
Till you have been given blood to fight sin,
Blocks them in flowing and cleanse within.
We need to learn to discipline the flesh,
And to stop allowing the sin to intermesh;
Using our will power build up resistance,
Avoiding it completely keeping a distance;
For Christ will be judging us on that day,
When we find out directions to which way.
