Killing Death
by Ken Pullen
Written on Thursday, March 28th
Oh, greatest of all fear
keep death from coming near!
The silent creeping scream within
due to the weight of sin
denied
nowhere to hide
falling, falling, falling into the abyss
resisting, persisting, insisting on keeping all that fear, delusion
locked up inside
whirlwind of interior confusion
facade, illusionary exterior works so hard to hide
Why, why, why is this so
oh, you really do know
using His name as a curse word
mocking all who believe in Him as inferior, absurd
probably using His name in vain
in your vitriol superior stance refrain
right now
always showing disdain
for the truth of the living, risen Lord Jesus Christ
when, when oh man, woman will you come out from the darkness
fighting, ignoring, rebellion hatred in truth
of the Truth
the Way
the Light
leading to the only Life
KILLING DEATH
Ahh, that thing called truth cuts into the soul like a hot knife
Imagine if you can, impossible for any man
woman, child to ever know
the suffering endured, the love exhibited on that cross
the culmination of every part
of God’s plan
from His loving, merciful, forgiving heart
to come
only asking everyone to come
to His Son
the Lord Jesus Christ
truly fully God come to earth
truly fully man of skin
nailed to that tree of shame
to take upon Him our sin
KILLING DEATH
ahh, that fear of greatest fears
no longer
comes near
upon coming out from darkness
out from being darkness
harkening to the tug, the sound of true kindness
warming the cold dead heart and lost soul
God come to earth
this place of such dearth
of any light, as all are consumed in wickedness deserving
the death He took upon Himself
for my sake
for your sake
come,
come,
come,
to the cross where God sacrificed Himself for our sin
allowing us to have victory, to win
over death
never truly dying
if only
if only
if only
to begin
to believe
confess
progress, individual movement, take the steps
repent
believe
see the empty tomb and become one of those disciples along the road
walking with the Lord
He Who killed death
for any, for all, who will but come
come,
come,
come,
to His loving heart and arms in belief
finding a relief
found nowhere
in nothing
on earth
nowhere man
nowhere woman
only the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ
could afford, make possible
what the world thinks impossible…
KILLING DEATH
for any, for all who would but come
believe
submit
repent
follow
love, cherish, obey
today
for no one knows how many more breaths
heartbeats
remain
for there is coming a time, a moment there will be the last
ones…
do not allow the tragic refrain
“Oh, if only, if only I would have…”
for you can have
eternal life
all sin of the past
gone
forgiven
get on with living!
For God came to earth
Jesus
the Christ
knowing before He and His Father made the heavens and the earth
that He would be called upon to die upon that tree
for me
for thee
for any, for all who can come and see, come and hear
draw near
to Jesus
transforming, born anew
from within
no longer going about without
making the Lord Jesus Christ
Lord of your life
for He came
lived
died
conquered death resurrected on that third day
making the way
KILLING DEATH
for me
for you
if only…
if only…
if only…
answering when called
hearing His voice
feeling the power of His love
coming to know what He did on that cross
from the tomb
all from above
if only…
if only…
if only…
each would allow the Holy Spirit to work within
as He will then remove all sin
and a new life, REAL LIFE!
FINALLY LIFE!
can begin
KILLING DEATH!
for eternity…
