I wrote a new poem the other day, I got the chance to preach this comming wednesday and im talking about revival and God's part and then our part in getting right with him...and this came to me...
"ONLY IF"
ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD
BY HIS MERCY DID I SEE
THE TRUE CONDITION OF MY WICKED HEART
AND THE CHOICES LAID BEFORE ME
I CHOSE TO ADMIT THAT I WAS WRONG
NOTHING GOOD RESIDES WITHIN
ANY ATTRIBUTE THAT I COULD SAY WAS MINE
WAS ALSO STEEPED WITH SIN
ONLY BY THE POWER OF HIS GRACE
COULD I THEN SURVIVE
ONLY BY HIS WONDEROUS MERCIFUL POWER
WOULD I BE DECLARED ALIVE
ONLY BY HIS HOLY DECLARATION, WOULD I BE ABLE TO CHANGE
A NEW CREATION ALIVE IN JESUS CHRIST
IN THE POWER OF HIS NAME
ONLY IF, HE REVEALS HIS SON
ONLY IF, HE SHOWS YOUR STATE
ONLY IF, YOU'LL RESPOND
ONLY IF, IT'S NOT TOO LATE
WHEN YOUR TIME COMES, FOR JUDGMENT:
YOUR DESTINY WILL BE
ONLY IF
