All Things
Everything was on my case
to chase me to an early grave
Masterminded by the one
who blinded us to run for hell
So everywhichway that I turned
still led and drove me to despair
Perverse, ill-fated like a rat
with dogs in hot pursuit
no matter where
for only death was reigning there
Then
upended
shone upon
and brought up short
I was caught
by love
said yes
confessed the name, the best
and the rest
is a negative undone
I can not find a path
that does not lead me
to the Son
and everything conspires
in his plan
to count me in
a picture to be shown
of how he’s won
And what was but a morbid game
is packed into
a corner of the frame
