Febreeze Faith (A Poem)

You remove the stench but the grime stays

    You remove the smell but the dirt remains

               

You try to contain what you can’t contain

                It’s insanity over and over again

               

It doesn’t work because it can’t

                Your independence is driving you mad

               

The stench will return and you’ll do it again

                Because you haven’t given in

               

To the only one who can remove

                The stench and the stain caused by you

               

You’ve cleaned it up a thousand times

                Only to find it there everytime 

               

Give it to Christ he’ll make it new

                Give it to Jesus watch what he can do

               

His blood is a stain remover and repellent

                His grace takes the smell and makes it fragrant

               

It’s not what you can do to make yourself right

                It’s what he did for you so you don’t have to fight

               

Just give yourself to truth, love and grace

    He will set you free and give you a place

Free from the stench and dirt and grime

    A place to call home for eternity’s time

        Shed the guilt from trying and effort

                Make him the stain remover and it’ll be forever
