Absence of Success
What you call the absence of success in my life.
Is a distortion of vision, no worldly trinkets.
I carry the mark of a Christian
I carry love, compassion, humility, peace
And wisdom.
It’s not an absence of success that you see,
It’s the ability to trust in the one true God.
His commands are written on my heart,
The image of Son I hope to be like
One day.
You may see an absence of success
I am not lacking in things, my focus has
Just changed.
You focus on the present, what’s happening now
My focus is eternity, I’m heaven bound.
Some saw Jesus as a man beaten,
Layed out on the cross.
Someone who made lots of promises,
But in the end, could not save himself,
Failure.
While other’s saw him being raised back up,
Someone who chooses to lay down his life
For the very people who were crucified him.
What you call the absence of success is a distortion
Of the facts.
Which has always happen even in the very beginning?
Some now see a world lost and without hope.
A fallen world getting darker and darker.
I see a world in which the light of God can finally
Shiner brighter and brighter.
It’s all how you see it and where your faith lies.
Success or failure you decide
