Circumstantial Covenant

When a book is presented
As being conflicted in ways
TRUTH can arise only when
Time has fulfilled her days

Choice is paramount in LOVE
Possibilities endless in scope
Circumstantial evidence presented
In so many ways that leave, without hope

...of tomorrow

Within that book, is a very fine line
Whereby one must follow the sliver
One can discover, fear lies at the threshold
Of the door who has promised to deliver

The ground doesn't change in earthquakes
The sky doesn't fall in seasons of sorrow
Neuropathy tries to seize movement 
But blood can always be found within the marrow 

...bringing life

No covenant of convenient conditions
Was made with humanity's fall
A sacrifice of pure LOVE was given
ONCE. and............for ALL
