You better die easy
Instead of trying to die hard
The longer it takes for you to die
The longer it takes to start
Living the life God promised
One he predestined you to live
The one he purposed from foundation
One he has for you to give
Of yourself
What he’s put down inside
What he’s gifted you with
That thing you just can’t hide
If you tried
To cover up if you could
That passion that burns inside you
That every time you wish it would
Just go away
And just leave you alone
But still it keeps calling you
Telling you it’s time to come home
Is where your heart is
But it must be made right
For to house the Holy Spirit
All flesh has to die
To itself
And die to its will
Say no to temptation
And let go of ill will
Towards selflessness
Even giving to your hurt
Saying yes when it doesn’t feel good
And don’t bow to this dirt
Or this dust should I say
that we’re all made up of
With its insatiable appetites
for indulging in self love
For it loathes discomfort
Crucifixes with its stripes
It sho’ don’t like suffering
Withhold it, there will be a fight
To the finish
Die early and die quick
I recommend you lay down
And get it over with

Dorothy, your message is a great message during my Lenten journey. It is far better to die to self and accept Christ. It’s a blessing to see you posting again. God’s peace!
