Like Two Brothers, That Is What We Are

Drawn by the slightest beckoning I pursue my death.

What can stop my heart from seeking what it loves?

For so long I've stood on the wrong side of grace.

Shall I kiss the Savior's feet while His hand still gives mercy?

Or will I tarry and therefor test His patience further?

What a fool I'd be to turn back from the plow.

What a mistake it is for a man to not carry his cross.

A daily task requires a full investment of commitment

That is what Christ has called me to

Full and complete submission to His commands

For to whom else shall I go?

Who else has the words of life?

By what other means can a man be saved?

I am in utter ruin!

For God has shown His truth through His word

I am therefore no longer counted ignorant

A choice must be made

A servant of two masters I cannot be

For I would love one and hate the other

This cannot be, a kingdom divided cannot stand!

Yes, I've contemplated truth for far too long

Death stands at my door calling my name

Soon I will pass from this life into eternity

What shall I say to Almighty God?

For I must give an account for every word and deed!

I am fearful, do not want to die!

The Scriptures testify to my guilt

Am I so hard that I would deny what is plainly seen?

Eternity is at stake

If I'm wrong, Hell awaits my arrival!

Can I bear coals in my hands and not be seared?

Nay, for I tell you every man is helpless

Can I reason within myself, and render God useless?

Nay, for I tell you every man is foolish

Make sure until the end, that you remain a child

I laugh at the man who boasts of his riches

For what does he have that he has not been given?

I lament for the man who boasts of his goodness

For what account shall he give for his wicked heart?

The Lord is just and will not count him righteous

I have been fearful and yet unashamed

How great is my pride, that I would count myself righteous!

Let me be stricken down and let destruction be my comfort

May the ground be hard and may it hurt to walk

For the ground beneath me is solid rock!
