Saved

I came to Christ to get saved
But the saving required me to be lost
Lost is sin, in shame, in self
Lost in how out of control I am

To be saved, one must be broken
Not a little
But totally

The man that comes to God
Never arrives
The only way to God is through another
In other religions "the man" can come
"The man" can make a difference

Only the new creature can live
Exclusive in life and in death
Requiring an invitation
All must be drawn by God, to God

Are you so sick with sin that you feel offended
By a God who only invites who He desires
Do you love Him who must call you so that you can answer
Do you see "the call" as a gift
Do you mock the moment, pretending there will be another
Do you think that you are in control
