Flawless


Flawless

 

Isaiah 53:12 )

12 So I will assign him a portion with the multitudes,
he will divide the spoils of victory with the powerful,
because he willingly submitted to death
and was numbered with the rebels,
when he lifted up the sin of many
and intervened on behalf of the rebels.”

 

Innocence, a simple word,

we use it all the time.

Mostly to hide intentions,

which were bad from the start.

“The Innocence of Christ”,

I don’t understand at all.

For purity and beauty

I lost during the Fall.

 

To take a soul that’s flawless

and fill it up with sin.

The only place where Holiness

could also dwell within.

To have a place so perfect

and He filled it with myself

and the sins from all the world

to pour them into hell.

 

1 Corinthians 15:45 

45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

 

In His resurrection

He lifted me up with Him.

The death, that I deserved,

He destroyed being the King.

He washed me into purity

and showed me to His Dad

so now I am whole again

fulfilled and secured within.
