From Inner Desire to Outer Fire

[HKHaugan]

From Inner Desire to Outer Fire (2Cor.5:17)

 

I want to be a new man not a stew man

or a brew man or a blue man, like I said, a new man,

   a new man not an old man, a do-man not a mold man

I want to be a faith man not a wraith man

I want to be a trust man not a dust, rust and lust man

I want to be a God man not a sod and clod man

I want to be a Jesus-man not a tease-us, grease-us and please-us man

I want to be a Spirit man not a fear-it man

I want to be a Word man not a nerd man

I want to be a level man not a devil man

I want to be a belief man not a thief man

I want to be a dare-to-be man not a scared-to-be man

I want to be a love-from-above man not a blow-from-below man

I want to be a brother man not just another man

I want to be a seed and feed man not a bleed and greed man

I want to be a real-and-feel man not a wheel-and-deal man

I want to be a knowing, growing and glowing man, not a stowing, slowing, to-and-fro-ing man

I want to be an action man not a fraction man

I want to be an upright man not an up-tight man

I want to be a zoom man, not a gloom-and-doom man

I want to be a whole man not a dead man, a soul man not a dread man

I want to be a mind man, a one-of-a-kind man, an easy-to-find man

I want to be a fair man, a care man, a share man, a here-and-there and everywhere man

I don’t want to be a Pharisee in heresy or a Sadducee, it’s sad you see.

I don’t want to be a hypocrite or a phony or a fake in a world of slash and dash, break and take,

There’s so much more waiting at the Gate; when you ask, seek and knock you never have to wait

 

All in all, what do I really want?

 

I want to be what Jesus saw in me

                                                        when He set me free

                                                                                           to be in Him and Him in me…….
