Denial is not a river in Egypt


Ecclesiastes 1:9 

What exists now is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
there is nothing truly new on earth.

 

Denial is not a river in Egypt.

 

Confronted with evidence of your sins

and accept consequences for your actions 

But what if someone hurts you within

and clips your heart into sections?

 

The road you choose to travel

to a place called your desires

You have to travel all the way back

when you repent to escape the fire

 

That is why nothing new is under the sun.

The things we see … we saw before

Along the way the ones we hurt

just staring as in one accord

 

All our actions and decisions,

affect each and every one we meet

For sure all the gathered children

will notice our every word and deed

 

The church should be unquestioned: "Holy"

A place where purity is understood

And everyone who resides or visits

Is to experience God’s love and truth
