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.
