The Choice is Yours


The fullness of the Lord Jesus Christ

 To walk in it, to be in it, this is the higher call

  To put away every foreign and worthless endeavor

   To overcome every vain way! Are you captive?


Are you captive to the vanities of mind and soul?

 Your thoughts wondering aimlessly, uncontrolled

  Your words without godly purpose, nonsense filled

   Where is the fullness of Christ in your life?


To this you have been called, to walk in his fullness!

 You only have one vessel, one life to live

  And into your vessel you put what you desire

   One thing or another as one fills his stomach’s hunger


And what is your hunger, for more of the same vain things

 Are do you hunger for more of Him and for his bread

  It is from heaven, why eat that which cannot satisfy

   Seek to be filled with that which satisfies forever


Fill a glass with precious diamonds to the top

 Fill it full with the very costly gems from the mines below

  Now wait until you are thirsty, very thirsty

   Then fill your glass with water to the brim and drink!


So is your thirst now satisfied with the glass you filled

 Was there much room for the water you truly needed

  Or was your vessel filled with the precious gems you did not need

   Have it your way but you only have one life to fill and fulfill


Have your vain gems in life or fill it with His divine life, full

 But if you fill it half full with the gems, still with Him is lacking

  The fullness you can have if you empty yourself of vanity

   The choice is to each, chose wisely, only one life to live!
