"..They don't seem to realize that this comprehensive setting-things-right that is salvation is God's business, and a most flourishing business it is. Right across the street they set up their own salvation shops and noisily hawk their wares. After all these years of refusing to really deal with God on his terms, insisting instead on making their own deals, they have nothing to show for it. The earlier revelation was intended simply to get us ready for the Messiah, who then puts everything right for those who trust him to do it." (Romans 10:1-4 MSG)
================&&&&&==================== We've got it all worked out Our bargaining currency is in place We've set a value, for every Christian work Prayer, devotion, fasting, church attendance and so on All these to be used in exchange For receiving our next request We create the rules and invite Him to play A game of Christian monopoly ================&&&&&==================== The greater the need, the more the works It will cost you, to move the hand of God Great skill is required, to put the deals together There are times when prayer alone, won't do Fasting will "up the ante", to create the tipping point An offer, that even God, can't resist We create the rules and invite Him to play A game of Christian monopoly ================&&&&&==================== If you happen to put a foot wrong And get a "Go to jail" card It must be time to play, the "Penance" hand You wail and travail, writhing in condemnation Until you feel you've earned, the "Get out of jail" card We create the rules and invite Him to play A game of Christian monopoly ================&&&&&==================== You may have passed "Go" But you need to be on your toes To keep an account, full of good works It may come in handy, when disaster strikes Never forget, the Christian Joneses Can't afford, for them to overtake There is a God, to be impressed We create the rules and invite Him to play A game of Christian monopoly ================&&&&&==================== Jesus has already played a perfect round Paid the price to buy everything on ground And handed it to you, instead He obtained the ultimate, "Get out of jail" card So you would never have to go there Jesus pleased the father, in every way And put you, right in His place When He finished, you finished Game over, no more to play Jesus gave all His spoil to you Now you no longer have to play The game of Christian Monopoly ================&&&&&==================== Selah
