The Dead Clocks

The days are growing shorter

And the clock ticks only for so long



Eventually the battery dies

And one must change the life source

If time can continue



A clock is designed to tick



Without a battery it is dead

And is incapable of doing anything



Whether its intentions

Be for what its designed to do



Or its intentions

Are to do something else



Either way it is dead without a battery























































































By the grace of God,



                          There go I































Oh how my heart goes out to a lost soul

They seek to do so many things



Evil is our nature

And though we may try to do good things

It all accounts for nothing

As we are dead clocks



But with Christ we can tick

We can bring meaning

Our lives can have purpose

And peace can finally dwell

Where there is now so much depression



If I believe in Christ

Then I believe in Heaven



If I believe in Heaven

Then I believe in Hell



If I believe in Hell

Then I believe in the Devil



As I also believe



One day we will all spend eternity in one of those places



















































Where Christ brings conviction

The devil brings guilt



Oh how for so long

Have I confused the two



conviction always applies

To my sinful habits

I commit in the present



And guilt is the reminding

Of all the sins

I committed in the past



If you have read this far

Let me encourage you

Be of good cheer



For guilt is not of Christ

It is from the father of all lies

The devil



Christ loves us

I know this

because Christ

First demonstrated

His love towards all of us

By dying for all of us

Even though our nature is evil

Even though we are all sinful

Even though we don't understand

Even though we don't care

He died for us anyway



So my sins would be forgiven

So that when I'm reminded of past sins

I can say "no" my sins are forgiven

The past doesn't matter anymore



Oh God! Who am I? Why me?































For so many years

I felt obligated

To live religously

Because I owed it to God



And I was wrong

For that is guilt

And religion is of man



Christ didn't do it

Expecting something in return



His purpose is not to pressure

Or to "obligate" or "expect"



Christ loves us

And He wants to pull us out

Of the sinful mud puddle

That Satan has set for you to fall in



Won't you let Him?

Are you tired of feeling cold?

Are you tired of feeling sad?

Our Father in Heaven offers Light



The natural law of Light

Is that it gives clarity

It warms and causes things to grow

It gives nescessary energy

To make a clock tick



If you want the light

His name is Jesus Christ

And all you have to do is ask Him

He's everywhere and in everything

And He's all ears

Today is all we have

And Satan wants you to wait until tomorrow

wow that was short and practical. I can almost see a clock on my wall and I want to go check the batteries for some reason.
