Some old sayings recycled and rehashed for the
days we are in:
Desperate times require desperate measures
So the old saying goes
But are we willing to take the cure
Before we’re in the throes
If it were a snake beside the path
We’d all been bit for sure
But will we extract the poison there
So each one can be pure
Pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps
Cannot happen nor would
Since Eve was deceived, Adam rebelled
We can’t do what we should
Problem older than Methuselah
Recent as your last breath
If not rescued by the Redeemer
You have no hope but death
Right as rain, pure as the driven snow
Our sin gone by His blood
The Christ has made His beloved so
By grace’s abundant flood
Imitation’s th’best flattery
Be pleasing in His sight
Now we will and can live for Jesus
Evidence of His might
Oh, lost ones know that the gig is up
Unless you trust Him too
He died on the cross to rescue you
And give you life anew
