A battle inside me begins to rage speaking to me of a need to change. <br />This need to change just like a dart struck inside my wicked heart, <br />It was the Holy Spirit, who began to chart a new life for me to start. <br />Since the day I believed in His Name my life has not been the same. <br />I can not truly explain, all I know is that I have been Born Again. <br /> <br />As this spiritual battle rages, it speaks to me of deeper changes. <br />To purge the evil from my heart, from all wickedness I must depart, <br />For as a Christian I have my part, as the Word of God I must impart. <br />Bits of my past God erases as my life and goals Christ rearranges, <br />And the useless parts God replaces with far better eternal exchanges. <br /> <br />As the battle continues raging I begin to have some trouble changing. <br />For Satan using his wicked art, stirs the deceitfulness of my heart, <br />It's from God you should depart for this holy stuff you're too smart. <br />And all that God ordains for me Satan deceitfully tries rearranging, <br />But God's plan for me is never in danger for my God is unchanging. <br /> <br />When my flesh becomes enraged I reminded I'll be completely changed. <br />From this world I will soon depart and have Christ's mind and heart. <br />Then I will have a new course to chart when I get my eternal start. <br />Although on earth I still remain, my earthly life has been estranged, <br />The reason I am not the same, my life has been eternally exchanged.<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/changes-3/
