Without pain

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning
or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." NIV Revelation 21:4

Whee! Look at me! I'm absolutely free!
I sing and swing; listen, hear, all bells ring
Happy as a lark in spring, with my fling.
Just running, playing, swinging and swaying.

I have no pain, feel no rain; it's in vain
For God sent Christ His Only Son to bear
All sorrow, everywhere, pain, humans share
'Tis only dark thinking, when faith's not there.

If I were to take on pain, that's insane
Would it not be such that Christ died in vain?
We once were dead, but then Jesus Christ bled
And cleansed away all of our sins and pain.

And now He gives us all God's Grace and Love
All God's Power from above, to free our soul
Make us whole with His Lasting Love, like gold.
Christ in us, is God, and thus, we can't sin.

He set us free, you and me. Why do we
Feel guilty. We cannot sin, when He's in
Us, what's the fuss, Is Satan tempting us?
For haven't we been freed from Righteousness?

There is no misery when we are free
Just temptation to say, why must I pay?
Must I feel guilt, today? The old sin way?
For sin is only lack of love in play.

Didn't Christ do it all? We cannot fall
We just love 'em one and all? Have a ball!
Unless our hearts do choose our gain, to lose
There are no blues, only sweet joys to lose.

We must have faith and just choose to accept
That there's no pain unless we choose to get
A lack of faith that pulls us slowly down
And make us struggle by ourselves, to ground.

So look at me! I'm glad Christ set me free!
And there's no way that I must suffer, see
I received and share His full gift of Love
From God the Father, through Christ, from above.

So come with me, let's dance, romance, be free
Release all pain and misery, with glee
Feel no sorrow, only see sunshine, no rain
With windows always opened, without pane.

With His Power, Glory and Strength He Reigns
And He's inside my heart and guts and brains
Love is overflowing, to you I give
Because He died, was Crucified, we live,

Without pain.

When St. Paul said, "pray constantly", he knew and experienced that without staying  in Jesus' Loving arms, we are ever lost. Beautiful inspiration, Newell. Thank you. Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Thank you, Elle for you sweet, kind words. It is very true that to continue receiving  the full blessings of God that we must walk with our windows always open, in continuing prayer. For Christ, God's Spirit of Love can only dwell within an open soul. Otherwise darkness quickly chases out the light causing us to quickly suffer pain.

And this can happen in an instant. Guard! Pray! Guard! With a joyful heart.

Although we need not suffer the bondage of man's  religion, like a Pharisee! Christ taught us to just look to the Father with joy and happiness. And receive with gladness!!!
