Why do people ask the question
When the answer has always been there
Why do they shut their eyes
But claim that they really do care
Why do they fill their ears with noise
But struggle to hear a word
Why do they shout it’s all about love
When their definition is clearly blurred
What causes this phenomena
A blatant denial of truth
When something that’s so obvious
Is considered so uncouth
My mind can wrap around it
But my heart continues to break
This behavior has been predicted
But the reality is hard to take
Each day it is battle
A tug of war within
Either rejoicing in His mercy
Or mourning for their sin
The soldier’s win declares “let’s fight”
And dresses in His Armor
So fearless as the passion burns
Marching forward for His honor
But victory often goes awry
And sorrow does prevail
The bleeding heart can take no more
And begs, “Oh, Father, life curtail”
No pain exists more than this
To witness our demise
Upside down and twisted ‘round
A culture blinded by lies
They say it’s all about me
And pleasing my every whim
Come frolic in the shadows
For it’s my light they plan to dim
To deny the Son, our Savior
To say He is not so
To claim your Word as false
Is a place I WILL NOT go
My allegiance once again proclaimed
With You I stand forever strong
There’s nothing any one can say
That will convince me that I’m wrong
My Father, I, you did create
For life eternal was your plan
With heart surrendered to Jesus Christ
I’m saved by God who came as Man
True Christian torment will go on
‘Til that day does come
The tug of war I will endure
And accept the side that’s won
The secret weapon tightly held
A power greater than I
My hope, my strength, my courageous will
On the Bible I rely
For there is where the truth is told
And God comforts us “don’t fear it”
Embrace the truth of all “I AM”
Your Father, Son and Spirit
Mightier now than ever before
This clay is taking shape
The Potter’s hands so skilled at work
Creates without mistake
My soul has met it’s eternal mate
The Holy Spirit makes me whole
Nothing’s left that I will need
I’m free from burdens toll
Thank you, Lord, oh, once again
You’ve filled me with a fire
I live my life with purpose now
Your Kingdom building I desire!
All For His Glory
T.S.
