Trash all the awards, the diplomas, and titles
Strip away the clothes, the cars, all materialistic idols
What are we left with when everything is gone
But a bare naked body and only truth to rely on
Humanity uncovered and completely exposed
It’s vulnerability at it’s peak, no one composed
Oh, what a state that we all would be in
The precursor, perhaps, for true life to begin
If we were up to the challenge and put to this test
What would we discover, would we become are best
Is it the things in this world that cause the conflict
Or is it what’s within, a sinful nature we depict
Could something like this abruptly open our eyes
Would it become apparent what’s causing our demise
It would even the playing field and get rid of the pride
But where would we turn to continue our stride
If not to achieve, seeking fun, fortune, and fame
What’s the use to go on, would life become lame
Would we desperately search wanting for more
Is that when we’d discover what this life is truly for
My guess would be yes, it’s an answer we all need
For it’s this question that causes every heart to bleed
To really know the truth of why we all exist
Look for the sunlight that’s just beyond the mist
It’s this world that’s deceiving and doesn’t want you to hear
But the weather is changing, it’s time to speak without fear
It’s the love of Christ that lights up the dark
The warmth of forgiveness, and new life it will spark
So if it’s naked you are with nothing in hand
With new understanding it’s for Jesus you’ll stand
You’ll suddenly realize that this is no game
We are all God’s creation and he loves us the same
His Son did not die just for a few
He suffered for all so all could be new
God loves us so much and just asks us to believe
It’s the gift of salvation by grace we receive
If we long for something better and it’s perfection we seek
Don’t fall for the lies the majority will speak
With Jesus in our hearts it’s His Spirit nature that’s in store
So be at peace knowing you have the key to Heaven’s door
But until that day comes, we will do as we’re told
Our Father has asked us to be faithful and bold
Life’s priority has changed, it’s now about His Word
God provides us the rest so our path is not blurred
So strip us down completely and just take it all away
We really don’t care because here we will not stay
We are judged by our Creator, it’s Him we want to impress
No longer in shackles we’re set free from the stress
So, please, make this your most important decision
Let the truth of Jesus Christ clear up your vision
Undress of this world and allow yourself to be free
Our riches will be in Heaven, that’s our final destiny
All for His glory -
Another excellent work, Taci! Theologically “on target” and spiritually practical for todays materialistic world.
