Condemned

2/12/2015

You’ve heard it said, but do you honestly believe it’s true?

You can cast away all these failures and, instead, cling to The One who makes all things new

You’re only condemned if you elect to stay in those chains

So why not relinquish your struggles to The One who’s ALREADY endured that pain?

 

If we’ll confess our sins one to another, we’ll have no reason to hide

And, maybe just then, we’ll finally rid ourselves of this filthy thing called Pride

We have no need to be faultless; it’s an endeavor we cannot undertake

So open your heart to your fellow man, and let’s take back the meaning of doing it “For Christ’s sake”

 

He tells us we’re no longer condemned, if only we choose to accept

Yet, so often we’ll refuse because we simply can’t help but see ourselves as inept

He tells us we’re no longer condemned, if only we choose to believe

And, instead, we’ll deny because we’re so conditioned to think we’re forced to grieve

 

Those hurts you feel; those mistakes you’ve made – you’re allowed to let them go

Cast those demons aside, for latching on will only allow them to grow

That Enemy’s lies can only grab hold of us if we allow him to persist

So, starting today, let’s only accepts words from The One who allowed us to nail Him by the wrist

 

You are NOT condemned

It’s nothing but a trick; nothing but another lie

You are NOT condemned

The Lord feels compassion for every tear you’ve cried

You are NOT condemned

From His words, waters of everlasting life will spring

You are NOT condemned

You need just to turn your heart over to The Everlasting King

 

You are NOT condemned!

He wants nothing more than for you to give up all that pain and bother

You are NOT condemned!

Let truths speak into your soul that only come from your Eternal Father

You are NOT condemned!

He implores you to look up towards His face, then you’ll see

YOU ARE NOT CONDEMNED!

He took it all away when He agreed to hang from that tree.

Joshua Burrows

 

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

-John 3:17 (KJV)

 

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death

-Romans 8:1-2 (NIV)

 

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.  The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

-2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)

 

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.  All these things are gone forever.

-Revelation 21:4 (NLT)

 

The Lord redeems the life of his servants;

None of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.

-Psalm 34:22 (ESV)
