Balance
Life is just a test of faith
To see who is worthy of
The grace of Jesus, the Lord almighty,
And his kingdom of heaven in the stars,
Where the fallen believers rest in peace.
There is no other reason
There is no point but judgement,
To see who won’t curse the Lord’s holy name
And to see who will do right while tempted
By the evil one Satan down below
Jesus welcomes the righteous
And casts away those who aren’t,
But we can be forgiven for mistakes
If we have faith in the Messiah Christ
Forever, and never lose sight of Him.
But I, myself, the writer,
Am starting to fall slowly.
I am struggling, the pressure is too great.
I am being crushed by the weight of sins.
I want my painful existence to end.
But until I die, I'll keep
Trying to regain balance.
