When you take a bite, from food you cannot chew
Don't swallow hard or you'll be in danger of choking
It doesn't mean, it's not for you
You're just not ready for it yet
Take it out and eat in smaller bits
Get a feel for it and your jaw muscles will strengthen
Keep doing this, till you feel right at home with it
When that time comes, you
ll know you
ve reached a new level
You can now handle strong meat and will benefit from
All the goodness, that kind of food provides
================&&&&&====================
So it is, with spiritual food
The preaching of grace can be hard
For those who have dieted on religion, for a long time
Grace and religion can be so far apart
Religion says repent and put in under the blood
Grace says it was forgiven before it was done
You could feel like you are choking, on the latter
If you have grown up believing, the former
My advice to you, is don't swallow hard
Or throw the whole thing away
================&&&&&====================
Admit you find it hard to accept
Such a radical departure from where you are
It may be time to question your belief
Did the Spirit reveal it or just merely doctrines of men?
Do you believe because others do?
Or because it is truth for you?
Don't be afraid of the unknown
God will always lead you to the truth
And His spirit within you, will rejoice when you find it
Let the Holy Spirit break it down for you
Keep working on it
Till you are more at home with it
================&&&&&====================
Here is what you need to understand
Truth stands line upon line
Precept by precept it is built
You may be missing the foundation of the truth
Or not understand the context within which it sits
As with a puzzle with bits missing
Keep it, till you get the other bits
Then the whole picture may unfold
Like comprehending the "new creation" with out
Knowing we are spirit, soul and body
I suggest you step back, from what you find hard to see
And start building its stepping-stones from scratch
Till you stand where you teacher stands
Then you may see, as they see
The truth that has come, to set you free
================&&&&&====================
If with the first pass it doesn't register
Keep it going in, till the shafts of light start to emerge
Enlightening your understanding, to all we have in Christ
Your mind has been exposed to so much religion
It takes time to scratch out the old grooves
And lay the tracks of the good news of grace
You will find, that it is time well worthwhile
As you begin to experience His awesome love
Unshackle from the chains of a law you cannot keep
And live in the power of Christ from within
Oh what righteousness, peace and joy awaits
As we manifest His kingdom from within
You'll be glad you didn't choke or throw it out
This sweet message of grace that comes to make us glad
================&&&&&====================
