Love in Battle December 2008

The firing caused many wounded
Arms flail in panic
The merciless son has killed
Many he grabbed and tossed away
Our gracious God will have him struck down
For his love flows in every direction
He has vowed to never leave us
He sits quietly for now
Waiting for us to call on him
So he may be our light in the night
For without him there is only Hell
Where creatures mock us to tears
It is a grievous, heart-cutting moment
When we turn our life away from God
It is His desire to bring us alive inside
Yet we let this wound fester for nothing
We search for a sign and we've prayed
To find this answer for we are horrified
That we may die with a vacant soul
Evil spirits have shot deceit into our hearts
Yet little have we noticed this
We know that somewhere there is a cure,
But we fail to listen to His voice
In time He will have berried all doubt
It takes but a thought to be saved
He will ride in on a white horse
Through the glittering morning dew
He has taken the pain that coldens
Our hearts like snow
He has expressed this love many times over
He is gathering his love ones for himself
His appearance will be told of
Even after the world is no more
