Colours of the spectrum (Spoken word poem)

To all my readers of the cultured type that savour words and wordplay,

Listen - while I exert my first intro using a verse made

In the form of a poem - crafting words in a terse way

Call it a what you like, this isn't art for arts sake

It's time to explore the paradox of letting your light shine

And running your race – while remaining connected still to home base

Let's investigate in rhyme – I've got these two thoughts in my mind

If they're a contradiction, the bible's in opposition to it's own way

And so is God. But instead, he's far from double-minded.

He knows the way to your heart, even when we're stubborn & blinded

He knows how to navigate truth and bring it to light for you

But we need to listen – and not shoot down seemingly opposing views

God is just, and God is love. Both 100% true

You have to meditate, ponder, and live it out to see it in full view

We're called to be light in dark– again, 100% true. But still,

We're also called to use our gifts to make Christ's bride beautiful (Eph 5:27)

At the same time, the church needs to let her light shine

And that won't happen if we huddle like we're quite fine

Mingling amongst ourselves – while the world around us is perishing

& selling music to our kids that's sex crazed explicitly

Nah – we've gotta get out and show the world that there's a better way

To live and move – a view on life is better with the Spirit, man.

The body's gotta move & function, it's gotta stay connected

Then we've gotta move into the world and show them they're missing

Is God a contradiction? When he says two different things?
More like they complement each other – church and witnessing

We've gotta get these things in balance – bring together the two halves

And if we do this then John 13:35 will come to pass

I wanna win souls, make gunshots in the worst hell” - Andy Mineo
