Despicable Me January 18. 2021

Gabriele Replogle

I want refining without fire
I want success without hard labor
I want pleasure without constrictions
Only joy and never sorrow.


I want victory without battles
I want glory without God’s face
I want peace, with no justice
Only if it keeps my place.


I want truth as my sword
I want it always pointed away
I want to divide their bone and morrow
Surely I have not gone astray?


I want passion and performance
I want to be entertained
I want ease & comfort
For my attention that has waned.


I want likes and hearts
I want my valentines displayed
I want the nations to adore me
And my memory never fade.


I want resurrection without death
I want to be born without pains
I want power without purpose
And my kingdom to forever reign.


I want apples and more apples
I want to see it all.
I want knowledge & enlightenment
To never see My Fall.


I want His Kingdom to be on MY side
I want Him to follow me.
I want victory without death.
Or crucifixion to a tree.
