Offenseless

Surrender your ill feeling Exchange it for due healing Years have seen you offended And they hoarded all that God intended In position, provision and power. That you grumble at the hour And all the dreams and perks unforthcoming Rage and unease in your heart are swarming It makes your chest to heavy to bear And if a cloak, too heavy to wear With such a soul borne stain Wouldn't power only swell the pain Wouldn't treasure trample even the sacred Praise for calibre would go to rebellion instead And in the wake of heroes of wars Will be the mourning of scores So has God in love and wisdom Refrained many from the spoils of the Kingdom To save them and to save others Lest even the staunchest faith withers Every heart rests on His scales And let it come to pass that after many fails That I soonest lay down every burden And cease to be lost amongst the brethren Sanctify myself into a vessel of honour Fear and trembling be salvation's working manner Pressing on like those that God made great. That I may grow in stature and in state In time, in step and in tune So I and destiny can commune K. Muitherero.
