Sudan Chronicles (Raw)

A poem I wrote while in Sudan. Forgive the raw-iosity of it.

Lyrics:

In Chapter 1 of Paul’s 1st epistle to the Corinthians/ he notes a few aspects of my calling worth mentioning/ So now I, hastily consider this that I’m graciously literate/ of the most basic significance/ abstinent to wisdom like it was prohibited/ minus the might and all the powerful abilities/ born into iniquity without the slightest nobility woe is me! / For I am undone with lips that are unclean/ guilty before the Son the triune God-King/ but I sing amazing grace dedicated to Him/ because He saved me for His glory when I was captivated by sin/ devastated within/ but called me His friend and cleansed me by His blood through the love He extends/ So I Live life for His praise like a biological hymn, let’s take it back/ Before your mother’s womb God weaved ya frame/ intricately, fearfully and wonderfully made, in His image/ that’s “imago dei”/ created for His glory and praise/ elected by His sovereignty and called to be saved/ for you who were chosen still holding that title today/ once in iniquity and separated by strife/ but literally consecrated and brought from death to life/ allow me to repeat myself and say it twice/ that we were spiritually dead but made alive in Christ/ Do we even know what that means?/ That He loved us enough to wipe our slate clean/ but we fought against His will like stupid fits/ even after being made in His image like duplicates/ foolish kids, rebelled against the Father wicked daughters and sons why bother to let us love but He did! / Condemned by His holy law that showed us our great sin/ justified by Christ as a propitiation/ and on top of this are accomplishments beyond the depths of human consciousness/ To say He’s merely wise is a grave understatement/ laced with infinite greatness/ the Lord is inexhaustible we can not contain Him/ Unfathomable and incalculable/ so far beyond magical/ actively surpassing the extravagancy of all that is imaginable/ Get a degree in an academy and be sad to see that He still can’t be accurately defined by humankind’s vocabulary/ But His obscurity is not vagueness to say the least/ but proof that El Shaddai rules high above beast and mankind/ Absolutely perfect and holy/ true that cuz the Bible told me/ in fact if you think Christ is wack wit fake facts only/ get back you’re part of Satan’s fam homie/ So peep the factors in this equation, on one side God, the other creation/ I hope you’re understanding where you’re falling in your ranking that the difference between man and God is wider than the grand canyon/ outstanding Lord over the earth and the universe who was the first before making Adam out of dirt/ The sovereign Creator/ ruling now and later/ the Holy dictator, the Great I AM your Father like Darth Vader/ Who speaks with complete authority/ sovereign over wind and sea/ land and man’s game plans so battling God is insanity/ And man’s disobedience brings impending doom soon/ so when His Holiness says “jump” you say “what do you want back from the moon?”/ Lest we forget, remember He’s benevolent/compassionate, patient towards the baddest men/ fabulous, immaculate the God who on His first advent on the cursed earth He was immersed in purchased the worthless through expiation Christ spent His life when He went on the cross so the lost could repent/ of our sins that nailed Him there/ Come in faith you can’t compare/ the joy of Christ as your mediator and treasure to any other worldy pleasure/ To you dear sinner tremble before the Savior/ and rejoice continually because God showed you favor/ Non-believers this is something you need to do but sadly I’ve seen many so called Christians not doing it too, I plead with yall dudes/ I don’t mean to be rude/ but we getting spiritually obese not working out the food we consume/ It’s outlandish the damage is savage the rates above average of Christians shunning service and preferring the lavish/ May I remind you that we were cursed but God gave us new birth so that we can give our bodies as worship Romans 12 says its our reasonable service/ It’s really the least we could do for God above in light of such a great mercy and love/ and the fact that He’s sovereign and holy demanding all that doesn’t help yall cats who prefer to kick back/ The purpose of reconciliation is holy living through obedience/ rooted in our satisfaction in Him, subsequently the main ingredient/ so those who profess to love God and follow admirably/ yet lack repentance and fruit wouldn’t it be sad to see/ Christ say depart from me you worker of iniquity you were never part of my family/ So my aim isn’t to blame, point fingers and take names/ but a reminder that we need to stop playing games and start spreading His fame/ When it comes to me, please don’t hesitate to do the same/ because in my sinfulness and humanness I’m prone to stray/ Its by Gods grace alone I press forward in this race/ to go go like gadgets with flows/ to exalt Christ wit those who know not suppose/ that the flesh is disposed repent and grow lives that glow the brides betrothed our eyes behold Christ on the throne/ so we selah the shows like slow-mo, pause and hold/ and meditate on He who atoned Yes Christ Jesus alone who made us His own heavens our home cuz He took death down like Judo throws/ But by the Spirit of God I crush feeble flows that are tainted with carnality/ and aim to exalt Christ with lyrical spirituality. Amen.

So proud of you: Mark!
