Sin

You gave me legs, sin crippled them
You gave me thoughts, sin poisoned them
You gave me emotions, sin exploited them
You gave me a will, sin conformed it
You gave me dominion, sin corrupted it
You gave me talents, sin buried them
You gave me a heart, sin hardened it
You gave me a mind, sin twisted it
You gave me a soul, sin ruined it
You gave me breath, sin choked me
You gave me life, sin killed me
You raised me…………………

Conference Video Posted

How awesome that they already uploaded all 3 sessions of the conference.  The one thing I appreciate about John Piper is that he is not trying to get rich off of his books and conferences.  The conference was only $35.00 and they posted the video and audio for free.  Most of the books he was selling were $5 and $8 bucks.  Anyway, it was an awe inspiring time for me these past 24 hours.  That’s what the Word of God does though.
Here is the link to the conference media.  Enjoy!

Unveiled

My soul was veiled since birth.
My eyes could not have known
what blinded by this earth;
the King of Glory’s throne.

Owned by the darkness’ grasp
and lured by empty crowns.
My spirit’s judgment lapse
lacked His quiet sound.

Without a quickening turn
my heart was slowly crushed.
Wherewith a spoken wave,
by grace, supplied it’s rush.

His all familiar Word
now seemingly first known,
when King Jesus undeterred,
unveiled His glory’s throne!
