Delivered


Psalm 133:1-2            New English Translation

Psalm 133      A song of ascents; by David.

133 Look! How good and how pleasant it is

when brothers truly live in unity.

2 It is like fine oil poured on the head,

which flows down the beard—

Aaron’s beard, and then flows down his garments.

 

Delivered

 

Is it not repentance that delivers us from self and fleshly arrogance?

And molds your state of the heart with great truth you always sought

For to stay stubborn and opinionated and filled with fake eloquence

Will interfere with Love in action but fills you to the brim with naught

 

Complete Salvation is available to deliver a man to “just love all your neighbors.”

To fill him with the Holy Spirit after bringing him gently to the Cross

Tenderness, gratefulness, and consciousness are instilled there by the Savior

To bring loveliness and forgiveness, as a garment, to be cleansed from dross
