The Compassion Of Christ
by James A. Brandes

I asked GOD what I might say today
To bring peace back to our land
HE comforted me in an awesome way
As HE took me by the hand

Like a loving father he guided me
Giving understanding beyond mankind
Once again allowing me
The only perfect peace of mind

My son, I fear the world has come
Far from MY original words become flesh
Wherein men learned to lean on ME alone
Self has risen in men and made a mess

They've complicated their lives with things
Far beyond their simple needs
Loosing sight of how fleeting life is
As no longer MY words do they heed

MY LOVE and MY COMPASSION
Is far beyond the reason or scope of man
MY GRACE is sufficient to handle all earthly cares
If they will but trust all within MY hands

They sit in judgment of one another
As if they truly knew
The grief and sorrow in another's life
And what that person is going through

In the name of religion they've left my law
And created rules all centered on them
Cloaking it as MY Divine Will
When in truth it's part of an agenda rooted in sin

Religion is of man, SALVATION of GOD
And the two have yet to completely meet
Man must come to the place where he abandons all self in ME
Leaving all judgment at MY feet

The scope of MY LOVE cannot be described
In the mortal words of man
Just as MY healing power is beyond what they know
And it alone can restore peace back to their hurting land

The devastation with which they now contend
Is but a glimpse of what is yet to come
If they fail to turn their eyes on me
Letting CHRIST COMPASSION exist between each and everyone

Only LOVE can heal the broken hearts
And lives which seem reduced to rubble
HE said: "For I am LOVE" and I alone
Can bring them each out of their present troubles

But NO agenda or hidden political objective
Can be allowed to stand in the way
Of CHRIST TRUTH given many centuries ago
If they expect their desired answer to the prayers they pray

For every evil thing which occurs
The prince of darkness has ordained and designed
There isn't a single glimmer of truth or light in him
And none of these things are punishments of MINE

He operates in the "Allowed Creation"
Granted by the fall through sin
And until I return to reclaim the earth
He controls the actions of evil men from within

You my sheep must reevaluate
Your understanding of MY WORD
Come directly in communion with ME
Digesting me, not what from men you've heard

For THEE WORD became flesh and walked the earth
But was returned to WORD you see
And the only way you can now partake of my flesh
Is to digest THEE WORD, which now is ME

Then be willing to pray the prayer I prayed
MY final night in Gethsemane
I would that this cup could pass from my lips
Never-the-less, not my will but THINE must be

Having digested HIS TRUTH we must drink the cup
Of the bitter task now at hand
"LIVING" the WORD that once was flesh
So THE COMPASSION of CHRIST is seen in us by every man
James A. Brandes
