This from Lutheran pastor and blogger Paul McCain, who in turn credits another blogger named Jeremy Abel:
Arminian "grace!" How strange the sound,
Salvation hinged on me.
I once was lost then turned around,
Was blind then chose to see.
What "grace" is it that calls for choice,
Made from some good within?
That part that wills to heed God's voice,
Proved stronger than my sin.
Through many ardent gospel pleas,
I sat with heart of stone.
But then some hidden good in me,
Propelled me toward my home.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Because of what we've done,
We've no less days to sing our own praise,
Than when we first begun.
The redactor of the relentless version of "Jesus Loves Me" (Rick Jr.) is even more sarcastic and aggressive, but, unfortunately, has little gift for poetic metre:
Jesus loves me; I'm not dead in sin
There is so much good within
I'm not chosen my will is tot'ly free.
I just need to breath new life in me
Chorus:
Yes I love Jesus, Yes I love Jesus
After I love Jesus, He decides to love me too
No reg'lation for worship, isn't that great?
Whatever we can invent or create
God's Word is full of just morals and advice
"Bring them in" at any price |
