How to move my will?


1 Peter 2:1-3 

2 So get rid of all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

 And yearn like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,  if you have experienced the Lord’s kindness.

 

How to move my will ... where Christ reigns without restraint?

As my will oppose the calmness ... possibly among the saints

 

Scary thought to be a rattler ... as my will strikes with little warning

To achieve my wants in me ... like a snake obeys a charmer

 

Moving on sound of my desires ... hypnotized by the lower me

As the ones with me are watching ... my performance as it be

 

Is it me who has the power ... to submit my will simply to death?

So the Will from Heaven showers ... are my need supplying rest

 

Upside down is my reason ... my will is caught up in self

In a bastion of deep seasons ... where the drawbridge is bereft
