Poem
Oh Lord, I know this empty terrain… I recognize this grassland; I’ve tread this ground Long ago, I used to roam in it time and time again…and touch the Rain I let the Rain… wash away my insecurities with soft sound I was homeward bound…and I fretfully frowned I was a lost, forlorn hound Until I witness God’s miracles Freedom is not easy to gain and it’s pricey like grain Sometimes, it takes walking on hot coals to refrain from being driven insane Deliver us… Deliver us… Marinate us… With golden gladness! Not messy madness! Give us one more chance… Build us up… Don’t destroy us now… As we lay in ruins, we look up to You, hoping You will save us It has been a perilous journey…I gottah say That you’ve made me proud of you this shining day Tell Him your insight and follow Him wholeheartedly… He will reveal to you your heart’s desire… Burning with passion and cordial fire He won’t leave you in the dust Don’t stumble and fall! He admires your awesome prosperity You broke us all with words of worthlessness Let the crows fly you away into society’s mess We all scream in a chorus: Deliver us… Deliver us… From sorrow and stress Wait for Him… Wait for Him… To help us earn pure success Life’s a bumpy bus Lighten up the dark…pull us Away from the adversaries that try to twist things up Wait on Him… Wait on Him… Have faith in Him… Have hope in Him… Don’t complain or fuss I know God’s looking after us all… We’ll stand tall…and we’re gonna rely on Him Instead of our own devices Remember Jesus’ sacrifices for our sin? Don’t give me blank faces! He despises the fact that we ignore Him DON’T IGNORE HIM DON’T REJECT HIM Don’t disappoint Him Don’t fall short too many times in front of Him Don’t stop praying… Don’t stop believing… Deliver us… Deliver us… Have faith in Him… Though we don’t see Him Anywhere I sight Just rest here for the night For the night “Deliver us From the bondage we face on Earth! Make us overflow with Mirth!” Your zealous, amazing features shine on Although I can’t see it completely, He knows our purpose in life…it’s sacred and as precious as the dawn He whispers in my ears favorably: “Live life to the fullest With all of your ability Rely on Me…and you’ll know that this option’s the best One to pick…so choose wisely!” We utter with our weary tongues Songs of praise We gaze At your wondrous truth Still unknown today We grazed Through the pathways of the past and its shame Forget about it! Remember no more of it! Send it off somewhere else… Cast it away and listen to the blessed bells Let’s finish the Perilous Journey In a jiffy…at this very moment – come on! Who’s with me? We will soon cherish a spiritual love that won’t last
