Double Revolution PDF Print E-mail
Written by Frank Irawo

"Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you. I am emphatic about this. The moment any one of you submits to circumcision or any other rule-keeping system, at that same moment Christ's hard-won gift of freedom is squandered. I repeat my warning: The person who accepts the ways of circumcision trades all the advantages of the free life in Christ for the obligations of the slave life of the law. I suspect you would never intend this, but this is what happens. When you attempt to live by your own religious plans and projects, you are cut off from Christ, you fall out of grace." (Galatians 5:1-4 MSG)

================&&&&&====================

Here comes the revolution

A plan like never heard of before

That God almighty would live in a human vessel

To express His life through us

================&&&&&====================

It was a welcome change to the old order

Trying to live God's life from without

Faced with a law I could not keep

Speaking to a dead sin nature inside

================&&&&&====================

Hail the revolution; I gladly welcome it

To be redeemed from my prison of hopelessness

There the law had cornered me in

Tired of living in the shadows, I welcomed the light

As the Son shone through me

================&&&&&====================

All is well, as I reveled in joy

At this new life, that found me

"Enjoy the Honeymoon", they said

"It won't last forever, Soon you'll have to grow up"

Sure enough, it seemed they were right

As my actions couldn't keep up, with my inner reality

================&&&&&====================

"His yoke is easy and burden light"

I'm sure that s what the Word says

But my shoulders just ached all the more

It was clear to me; my only choice is to try harder

Only, the more I tried, the harder it got

================&&&&&====================

"Something's not right"

I thought to myself

How could these things be?

I ran from the shadows to escape all this

It feels like deja vu

================&&&&&====================

From the most unlikely place, came the answer

180 degrees + 180 degrees = 360 degrees

After a double revolution, I was back where I began

Fallen from grace and back in the shadows again

================&&&&&====================

Usher in the revolution

This time, here to stay

By grace I was saved, by grace I stand, never to depart again

When my action struggle to catch up

I put up the following sign, "work in progress, master at work"

For all who care to see

================&&&&&====================

I ve found my rest in His finished work

By faith I stand therein

I ve taken part in the final revolution

Held by God Himself

================&&&&&====================

Selah
