The Escape

God called you to endure,
Suffer because of Christ;
This is so to ensure,
Be no longer enticed.

For Christ suffered for you,
Leaving an example;
So you could then construe,
To be a disciple.

So then you can follow,
Through within His footsteps;
And remaining hallow,
In the hope as it preps.

Christ never had a sin,
He never did deceive;
Was purified within,
Spoke to you to believe.

Christ never spoke abuse,
To those who abused Him;
Only to introduce,
You to spiritual vim.

Christ never made a threat,
And never held a grudge;
But is leaving your debt,
To the one that will judge.

Christ carried our sin,
Upon Him to the cross;
Giving us discipline,
As we gain for His loss.

So we can live a life,
That God gives approval;
Through prayer for the strife,
Asking for removal.

We had been all lost sheep,
Could not find an escape;
Now through prayer we can leap,
For new life to take shape.
