By this World's Standards

By this World's standards, 

Upon the scales of man, 

Life in Christ will never be worth much on any given day.

However, the World will never comprehend, 

Either the Power of Christ's Love in His Shed Blood, 

Or reason the why that he freely gave it to cover the sins of all, 

That day upon the Cross of Calvary,

That gives total freedom in Him and covers to remove the darkest of sin. 

On the other hand, could anyone of them reason the why He chose to die that day? 

He had the power to walk away,

That day, not one word heard to defend or did He say in His own defense, 

That power, Love, He used to set humanity free from sin's cold hold,

  God gave it to only Him; no other could, would, or did. 

God never measures ones worth, today or tomorrow,

Either by one's wealth, affluence or by one’s vocation, 

They chose as their foundation to build their life upon yesterday. 

God looks back and sees the Reflection of the Cross in you today, 

And the measure of the Lord's Love within, 

That comes forth to build, help, and encourage another. 

When one looks upon the Empty Cross of Christ today, 

Remember and see the Love He gave that day to cover all sins, 

By this, total freedom lives within all in Him, 

Wrapped within God's Grace, sealed by His Integrity for the Lord,

Until Heaven's Day with Him at God‘s Table of Grace. 

The World has no power to convict within or remove eternity's day with Him, 

For His Love's hold will always be more powerful 

Than all humanity’s and Satan’s will ever be!

Man can remove earthy wealth or life it’s self, 

However, nothing can touch our worth within Him, 

The freedom we have and live in Him

 As all walk Complete in Him in His Light of Love each day.

Lord, build me within a heart that gives to others today and every day,
