Divine Diplomacy
by Joyce Samuel Admit it Lord, you are fed up Of this one life, full of hiccups Go on and tell me to my face: 'Surely you can't be born of grace'. Even I too know I surely can't Those who are have a victory chant But this one life of mine oh Lord Must be severed from the victory cord. Father I think I'm going crazy What is this - divine diplomacy? That will not say things as they are But keep on saying, 'You're a star'. Let it out Lord - sometimes You wonder At such a life so full of blunders - Of all your temples, the only one That sighs and weeps, 'The glory's gone'. You know, I think I really try To spread my wings and daily fly Prove to the world that Jesus saves His peace and joy I ever crave. But then my growth is very slow And lo! I find it quite a blow That for all my years in Christ alas! I've been repeating just one class. Why You still love me I don't know Divine diplomacy - must be so! Lord You're tired, but just too kind To say to me, 'Get thee behind'. Just let me be, can You not see That they're still here right inside me The works of flesh I've battled with Fire fighters from the pit. They've fought my fire and they have won This flame of mine just can't stand strong I want to give up now I plead Divine diplomacy, take the lead. What's that You say, You won't let go? Your firelighters are in tow? The hosts of hell will surely bow? Your consuming fire none can cow? I'm speechless Lord, this cannot be My silly thought - diplomacy It must be love now I can see - For why else would you fight for me? I'm humbled Lord, but I'm so proud I stand up tall while in a crowd I see a future and a hope Please lead the way, I now can cope.
