2 Corinthians 5:17 - “ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. “
THE CHANGE CAME SUDDENLY
Have you Ever Imagined living in a World
In which there was no CHANGE
I think that Such a Place
Would be quiet Awkward and STRANGE
If we Would Simply Take Time to Look
We could see Change is EVERYWHERE
From the things that we Do
To the Clothes that we WEAR
We see Change in the Four Seasons
Each one has it’s own SPLENDOR
From the Flowers and Birds of Spring
To the Sparkling Snow of WINTER
The effects of Change can be Seen
Everywhere we Turn our EYE
Rather we are Looking at Things on Earth
Or if we are Gazing into the Open SKY
And while each Change is Awesome and Grand
The Greatest Change has Occurred Within ME
And unlike the many Gradual Changes we see in Life
This change was not gradual, The Change Came SUDDENLY
You see, one Day I Lived only for Self
Only Concerned about Things that Affected ME
But then came the Glorious Day I met Jesus
And my Life was Changed SUDDENLY
Once I gathered Riches here on Earth
So that I could spend it on Worldly PLEASURE
Nothing else really seemed to Matter
But Suddenly, I’m more Concerned about Heavenly TREASURE
Once I would Open my Mouth
And Harsh Words Would Come OUT
It didn’t Matter who I Hurt with my Tongue
But Suddenly, I Seek Kind Things to Speak ABOUT
Once I went to church out of Duty
It Seemed like it would be a good thing to DO
It was just a nice social get together
But Suddenly, I realize my motives were not TRUE
Once I allowed my feet to take me places
Where the World Would hang out and PLAY
The main things was that I was enjoying myself
But Suddenly, from those places I now stay AWAY
Once the Songs that I Listened to
Were Songs that Pleased my Flesh Day after DAY
I Wanted to Blend in with My Peers and the Crowd
But Suddenly, My Songs Seek to Glorify Him in Every WAY
Once I Thought I was Really Living
But I now Thank God for the New BIRTH
That Changed me Suddenly
And Gave me a life of Real WORTH
