Religion vs Jesus

How can these people be so foolish thinking religion is the way,

Don’t you see that there is one which is through Jesus, He’s the way,

What religion does is throw laws to bring you down,

But what Jesus has done was to fulfil all the laws; he died on the cross to bring you up through him,

Religion is nothing but a man searching for God,

But the truth is that God is the one, who he is searching for you,

Religion is nothing but a barrier; it pushes you far from your creator,

Jesus is the great I am; He brings you closer to your creator,

Religion tells you to do; Jesus tells you it is done,

Religion brings you burdens; Jesus sets you free,

Religion makes you dead; Jesus makes you live,

Religion is made by man; Jesus is made by God,

Religion says that you have to be perfect if you want to go to heaven,

Jesus says come as you are; follow me and I will show you a true way to heaven,

Religions points at the sinners and make them feel ashamed,

Jesus points at the religious Pharisee’s and puts them all to shame,

Religion is like man dressing up a dead man’s corpse,

Following my lord and saviour; I can just walk without shame,

Religion forces you to pay your penalty fines, to die because of your sin,

Jesus has already paid your penalty fines; go sin no more because your sins have been forgiven.

Religion destroys; Jesus restores,

Religion is man-made; Jesus is by God’s grace,

Religion leads to a wide road of destruction; Jesus leads to a narrow road of peace,

Religion fails; Jesus reigns,

Let us rejoice, let us be set free, let us give him the glory, let his name be exaulted,

Peace be with you from God the father and our lord Jesus Christ.

Two different worlds

We used to live in the same world; now its like we have been departed to another world,
As I've ascended alongside my light; you never came and let yourself in pure darkness,
I weep at the pains that you put yourself through; you weep at the fact you want to be pain free,
Its never too late to follow the light; but don't give up now before you leave it too late,
Don't follow the creations, follow the creator.

A lost blind sheep

Why are you so blind; why do you think you can see,

You are yet so quick to judge on what you think you see,

Do you not realise that your just being too proud,

Yet when I tell you the truth; you want to go avoid and go around,

Why do judge how God made these people,

When you are judged; you cry you hypocrite,

You read my lips but your hearts are elsewhere,

You say you love me but your love flies nowhere,

You stole my sheeps, you lied and deceived them,

You have been fooled as much as you fooled them,

But since you never knew that you were my lost sheep,

I shall open your eyes to see; time to wake you from your sleep,

Time to help gather my lost sheep and you will get your rewards,

Don’t be quick to judge; be a witness and head on forwards,

Since you are my sheep; you can surely hear my voice,

But these who are in wolves clothing cannot hear my voice.

Searching - From A Broken Hearted Person

Why is my life so confusing,

Why is my love life broken to pieces,

I need someone to make it less confusing,

I need someone that can restore the broken pieces,

My heart is constantly aching but I don’t know what it is,

No matter how much I try; I guess it just as it is,

Every time I try to speak, it’s like I can’t get it through,

You just don’t understand who I want to pour my heart to,

Do you not understand I cannot do this by myself,

Do you not understand why my heart keeps aching,

I just want someone who loves me for me,

I just want someone who loves me for me not even trying,

These were the words that would leak out of my heart,

These were the words before I found the light of my heart,

Jesus my lord you have made it so much easier,

Jesus my lord; you have fixed my broken pieces,

Jesus my lord; you were the one that was the missing piece in my heart,

Jesus my lord; you were there for me and I can express wholeheartedly,

It seems that you’re the one  I poor my heart to.

The Missing Part Of Me

Why can’t I do this; why can’t I write,

Why can’t I do this; why can’t I speak,

Why can’t I do this; why can’t I run,

Why can’t I do this; why can’t I stand,

The constant reminders of the pain I can see,

The tears of fear, a cry for help, why can’t they see,

The part of me has been shattered into pieces,

The part of me has been taken away from me,

This is how I can express such things,

The heart that still stands; it still sings,

It sings for the lord to fix my broken pieces,

It sings for the lord to take my pain away,

Ah; the lord is here to fix my broken pieces,

My oh my; I no longer feel this pain,

At times I could not write; it has been written in my heart,

At times I could not speak; my heart still can speak,

At times I could not run; but my heart still runs to my lord,

At times I could not stand; my heart still kept its stand,

The tears of fear became tears of joy,

The cry for help became a cry of rejoice,

The missing tiny pieces have been fitted back together,

The missing part of me have been replaced with something better,

I shall be as the lord is with me,

If any weapon forged against me; it shall not prevail.

Broken Hearted

Sometimes I wished that relationships weren’t hard,

What feels even harder is being apart; I just wished it was so easy,

She says that she loves you; all she did was fail you,

I’m always saying I’m sorry but even that seems to fail me,

My heart has shattered to pieces; my heart has burned to ashes,

My heart is un-repairable; my heart is blown away,

I just want to cry but my tears just won’t flow down,

The joy that was there has turned into misery,

If she knew the lord, we wouldn’t have been this way,

If she knew the love, my heart would still be there,

If she knew the way, she wouldn’t have put me away,

If she knew the feeling, the heartbreak would never happen,

In my room alone; I’m just crying deep inside,

The pain, suffering and the tears; it shows on the outside,

Then a man in white, who suddenly appeared,

When I tried to get close, he just disappeared,

I began to cry, cry and cry; feeling like I’m dead inside,

A new heart began to appear; this new heart made a life inside,

The guy in white again reappeared; I had repented and give him my life,

He showed me his hand and it showed a scar; He is the Christ that brought me to life,

I have the lord, who has made a new way,

I have the lord, who has gave me a new heart,

I have the lord, who has not gave me away,

I have the lord, who has fixed me a new heart,

But I was still missing my other half; when it will happen and when will she come,

My sovereign lord has said to me; “your time has not come but she will come soon,

I have better plans for you for you are my son,

Come follow me for I will show you the way”,

Thirty years later I have found my other half,

When it was time, we both became one,

I no longer run feeling broken hearted,

But I walk in the light, with my love and my saviour,

When the time has come for my other half to come home,

I felt my heart crack as she made her way home,

The lord gave me comfort and has fixed my heart whole,

If he weren’t there, that crack would make a big hole,

At least on the brightside, I know that she is home safe,

But when my time comes, I will be there with my lord,

No more broken hearts, no more crying tears,

No more trials, no more tribulations.

Life and Death

This scary place is not a very nice place,
So many burning smokes going right into space,
This scary place is a very dark place,
It is so dark that you can't see his face,
This scary place is where the unbelievers ended up,
I would weep, weep and weep; the more they went down,
This scary place is not where men are meant to be,
Because of their ignorance and their destination is to be,

My lord did not want this for you,
My lord did not want this for me,
He wanted all his men all back to himself,
But the men could not see or hear; all they want is themselves,
The fail was caused by adam and eve; all there was is death,
But Jesus dying on that cross; brought back human life,
The fall of man got us disconected,
The massiah on earth got us connected,

Which after life do you want to choose,
The eternal death or the eternal life,
Open your eyes for your time on earth is not forever,
But life after death is your life until forever,
I'm warning you now so you won't be hurt forever,
But decissions you make will last until forever,
All I want for you is a life without pain,
But if you don't want that, then there's nothing to gain.
