 You Don’t Have To
You don’t have to do, anything that I say;
And, why do you think that you can?
You can follow the rules
but that won’t make you love Me...
the way that I hoped that you would.
The rules were to keep the unrighteous alive,
while they witnessed My love that was seen;
But, so many chose another way,
rather than making Me King.
I didn’t stop Judas, with all of his plans;
Yet, that didn’t shorten My Father’s hand;
I knew the thing that had to be done;
So, I freely paid for everyone.
Did that change the minds of My created?
Only a very few...
Are you one of the ones that have decided;
You will not trust me, too?
If you weren’t so busy with all of your plans,
You would experience Love from My Hand.
But, that takes abandoning
what others might say;
That takes abandoning, even your way...
of protecting yourself (in case I wont do)
all of the things I promised to you.
You say: Where are the miracles?
Where are the wonders?
I say: Indeed, I wondered that too;
They are in the Kingdom,
where I am King,
What kind of a king are you?
Well, that’s what you’ve chosen:
To run your domain;
So you’ll have to try to produce the same.
You know that’s not been in your creation;
Yet, you come to Me with your accusations!
Are you beginning to see a parable here?
You’re working so hard to produce
nothing but fear.
Then you say, I’m afraid;
I don’t want to hear;
What you’re living in now,
should give you more fear.
But, I can’t give up the things that I love;
That’s not integrity;
The things that you love
don’t treat you so well;
Your integrity first, is to Me.
I’ve paid for you; I’ve completed The Law;
And, what have I asked of you?
I’ve kept Grace in place;
Every debt is erased;
I’ve given you free choice too.
Like I said before; You don’t have to do
anything that you don’t want to.
You will never fulfill your destiny,
if you allow these excuses
to keep you from Me.
I already know, and I know you do too;
You will follow Me part way;
But, if this interferes
with you running your life,
you’ll decide to do what you say.
Real love has never worked like that;
It doesn’t dissect; It only reacts;
It does everything that is in its heart;
Love swallows up costs,
before they start.
If you would; If you would:
I could release:
This way of My Love,
that’s surrounded with peace.
Does Love ever need to be pacified?
No, by its nature, it’s satisfied...
to be with this One,
that makes life worth living;
Not reckless, but confident;
Finds delight in its giving.
