The Heart of the Matter Is the Matter of the Heart

It doesn’t matter what the matter of the matter is.  What matters is that all matters that matter are at the heart of the matter, as a matter of fact.

“What’s the matter?” one asked.

“Is anything the matter?” another queried.

“What matters to me matters not to you

For deep inside of me this matter is buried.”

It matters not what matters to you

Three can solve that matter; that is true!

No matter is too deep a matter for the Eternal Three

Who created all matter that you and I see.

That matter you speak of is different from mine

That’s the matter from the beginning of time

The matter I speak of matters to me now

And that it matters to you, I can’t see how.

As a matter of fact I am aware of your matter

I mean the former matter not the latter

I mentioned that matter so that you could see

The One who deals with all matters is from eternity.

He not only created matter but all that matters

The matter of life and the matter that reasons

The matter of time and the matter of space

The matters of earth: the weather and the seasons.

Whatever the matter it matters to Him

Whether it’s an external matter or one deep within

For the greatest matter is the matter of the heart

And the heart of the matter is a good place to start.

Okay, the first matter that matters to me

Is the matter of who comprise the Eternal Three

For if all that matter also matters to them

Then I can share my matter now rather than then.

The matter of the Eternal Three is rather complex

It’s the matter of Father Son and Holy Spirit

It’s a three-in-one matter hard to explain

But the matter of faith offers much to be gained.

In the beginning were these T

hree, no matter before

In six days they created matter, space and more

No matter the matter all matter they created

Read it in the Bible where the entire matter is stated.

All God’s creation really mattered to Him

At first all was perfect without the matter of sin

But the matter of matters was a matter so subtle

The matter for the serpent was the very first people.

The matter of disobeying God was a matter so grave

When Eve took matters in hand and entertained the knave

Then came the matter that really got out of hand

The matter of sin had entered Eden’s land.

So the heart of the matter became the heart of sin

And that matter festered and spoilt us deep within

The matter of perfection was no longer to be seen

Sin compounded all matter and cluttered up the scene.

Then emerged the matter of Redemption’s plan

God took the entire matter into His omnipotent hand

This gave rise to a matter that matters to every man

The matter of choice to be saved or to be damned.

As a result came the matter of Calvary cross

And the matter of a Savior dying to save the lost

The matter of the miraculous and glorious resurrection

And the powerful matter of a sinner becoming a son.

So that it doesn’t matter if one is black or white

What really matters is the change from darkness to light

The matter of putting off blindness and receiving one’s sight

The matter of resisting the wrong and doing what’s right.

If there is a matter that is worrying to you

 And you can’t find a solution no matter what you do

It’s time to bring that matter to the One who cares

His is a matter of renewal he does not do repairs.

For the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart

And what really matters is a brand new start

A new heart is required; that’s a matter for Christ

We mattered to him; that why he paid our price

Only thirty pieces of silver mattered to Judas of old

A small matter to him and for such Jesus was sold

But the stone mattered not to Christ and away it was rolled

Just a matter of three days the event would unfold.

The matter of all matters that should matter to us

Is the matter of sin and the Saviour, Jesus

Who died in our place; that’s a matter of fact

And dealt with the matter of getting us back on track.

Today, if you hear his voice no matter what you are after

Regard it not as fun or a matter for laughter

For this is not a matter for comedy or trifling debate

It’s a grave matter and it should matter before it’s too late.

 

“What’s the matter?” I am asking you.

Don’t tell me “nothing's the matter” for that wouldn’t be true

The matter of your heart is the heart of your matter

The devil or Christ…settle this matter and choose the latter!
