2017 - The Turning
Behold the day of tumultuous turning
With the sting of betrayal in the heart still burning
When all seems gone, dead and lost
And the heart is unable to measure the cost.
The enemy pushes the dagger deep
The gifts and talents and souls to keep
Now death and loss have become his toy
And blasphemous accusations are his ploy.
For seven years we tried to warn
Our words were met with mock and scorn
But the tide then turned and houses shook
And they looked to the one that they forsook.
The rejected now remained in light
Others shaken in darkness of night
The wheat and tares could now be seen
The sheep and goats, and none between.
The pleas for mercy did arise
But some refused for love despised
Some were granted the hand of grace
While others left with shame embraced.
A life was offered and laws were set
A process set down, conditions met
Take it or leave it, that is the price
One road, one way, never look twice.
Others were left alone to their source
While those that were trained continued the course
Back into life with vigorous training
Honour, integrity, conditions for reigning.
It wasn’t too long that things became clear
The world entered darkness, hatred and fear
The trained lived in peace, clothed now in light
Others now hiding in the darkness of night.
Locking from without with no way to enter
Desiring the source of life in the centre
They knew in their hearts the door was closed
The lack of oil, their hearts exposed.
All the past words are brought into mind
Rejected the training, now left behind
Upon the earth the darkness released
Now left to suffer the mark of the beast.
You know it’s too late, your heart tells you so
No route of escape with nowhere to go
Remember the words, you were told of this day
Hold onto the light and do not betray.
But the movement of Light preparing to rise
With hearts full of fire for the enemy’s demise
The army of Enoch arising as one
Their years of training to honour the Son.
While many will come to the end of their days
Succumb to the age because of their ways
The army of Light to arise in their glory
This age is just the start of their story.
