In a World of Mixed Identity

 

In A World of Mixed Identity

 

In a world of mixed identity

People are upset and insecure,

Always afraid of being mistreated

What to call themselves they’re not even sure,

Each one has their own set of standards

For inoffensive titles and names,

No person must feel unaccepted

Thus we have “politically correct” games,

 

But there is in fact an answer

For the world’s wearisome illusion

People may find personal fulfillment

In Christ Who brings peace not confusion,

When we ask Christ to come in our heart,

He erases all our guilt and shame

And it’s gone completely forever

And He gives each of us a new name!

 

When our identity is in Christ

The world loses its pressuring squeeze

Because it’s no longer our own worth

But the perfection of Christ Who frees!

And all the things we once vainly sought

To fill the emptiness in our soul

Are now filled by the Spirit’s power

When Christ came and filled the God-shaped hole.

I can’t take credit, nor would I want to for this because the Lord gave it to me. J
