My Solution for Your Confusion

Looking for a compass to point the way?

In a rut not knowing whether to go or stay?

A ‘déjà vu’ experience over and over again?

Remedies a plenty but none to ease your pain?

Well I have got news for you so listen up!

You don’t have to settle for this world’s muck,

There’s better for you so please attend

To the following word, it may at first offend.

I point you to the Word that’s forever true

The Bible, not the others you have reviewed,

It might not be the most popular on the shelf

But it will give you the best picture of yourself.

Hold on a minute!  Don’t be too fast to dismiss,

This book will help you, it will definitely assist

In the many situations you face in this life,

It’ll point the way through life’s maze and strife.

Now that I have your attention let me continue,

Forget all the stuff that you thought you knew,

This world’s knowledge will never help you

Without God’s wisdom no matter your view.

In the beginning God that is where we start,

From all other claims and propositions depart,

Notice there is no attempt to give a preamble;

All who try to argue one are sure to ramble.

God is His own first cause there’s none beside,

He is the “I AM” meaning in eternity he resides,

In Himself he consists, He is holy and true,

He is indebted to no man not to me not to you.

He sits on His throne and from there He reigns

Over all His creation just as the Bible claims,

His was the Word that spoke it all into being,

In six days He created all that we are seeing.

God’s spirit did move over the darkness deep

And along with the Word gave us all this treat,

This earth as our habitation as long as we live,

Acknowledge Him now and praise to Him give.

In Eden’s garden He created a woman and man

Not in that order but I must rhyme as I planned,

The man was made first created from the earth

His rib formed the woman taken from his girth.

Both of them fell when God they disobeyed

You need no longer wonder about the chaos today,

That was the beginning of all the evil you see

When they decided God’s way was not the way to be.

Many people argue about the nature of the fruit

And until Jesus returns they will continue to dispute,

But the real issue is they disobeyed God’s instruction

And just like today that leads to man’s destruction.

Thought I would give you an idea how it all started

How man going his own way from God had departed,

And to inform that the Good News starts with the bad

And without this understanding you’ll always be sad.

Many are disillusioned by the messages they hear

Simply because the bad news is not made clear,

How sin separates them from the God who is love

And from the Saviour whom He sent from above.

 

  

The Good News starts with the bad news of Sin

You’re not as good as you think but rotten within,

Sin’s cancer is terminal and you are already dead

Headed for the final destination, hell’s eternal bed!

Your compass is damaged; it is seriously broken,

You’ve listened to the rest now the Word has spoken,

Reject God’s word and the bad news gets worse

Sever this lifeline and your life will remain cursed.

It is Jesus who is the way the life and the truth

The evidence is in the Bible and there’s the proof,

It is he who says he that comes he will never cast out

Let him renew your compass and rid you of doubt.

Come and confess your sin and before him bow!

Discard that broken compass and do it right now!

Invite him into your life and he’ll direct your way

With a brand new compass, give him absolute sway!

Surrender all to God, yes! Everything you own,

Let Him take up residence put Him on your throne,

You will never regret having made Him your Lord

And trust in your new compass, His Holy Word.

 

Jesus is the way I have established that before,

You’ve looked elsewhere and found none that’s secure,

With the Master on board heaven’s election is sure

You’ll have peace in this life and in eternity much more.

I’ll end with this invitation, might be your last chance,

Jesus took those nails, in his side the piercing lance,

On the cross he suffered his blood was shed for you

Forgive them he said for they know not what they do.

Looking for a compass to point the way?

In a rut not knowing whether to go or stay?

Invite Christ into your life; invite him today!

Your way will become harder the longer you delay.
