Take a look at how large,
The letters in these words;
Telling you to take charge,
What will be afterwards.
Some want to make a deal,
From a physical thing;
They beg, borrow and steal,
For the pleasure to bring.
Their aim is to avoid,
Any persecution;
Because they are annoyed,
Of such execution.
Because the cross of Christ,
Does not have the meaning;
In being sacrificed,
As for intervening.
It is clear that not those,
Who have been circumcised;
Not a one of them knows,
The Law as emphasized.
Yet they want you to be,
Circumcised as to boast;
On what as a decree,
Faithful to the utmost.
I relate to the cross,
In a relationship;
Crucified as a loss,
But gaining a new grip.
So I grip onto Christ,
As a new creation;
And not to be enticed,
Through intimidation.
For being what I am,
As a part of His flock;
Since I am just one lamb,
Who listens to His talk.
Mercy will come to rest,
To all who will conform;
And when doing your best,
Enabled to reform.
