Deny Thy Maker


Rain upon my lips
Blood within a kiss

An iron curtain
Wrapped around my chest

A pacifist balls up his fists
Ready to fight

Every day is a gift
But every second a curse

One day closer
To the gates of oblivion

My maker stands there
Perplexed by my lack of faith

Perplexed by a lifetime of scars
And a lifetime of denied blessings

A desolate cry dies in my throat
Held captive by loving eyes

Deny thy maker
Deny my maker

Blood within a kiss
Rain upon my lips

Indeed, everyday is a gift from the MAKER of life, the Creator God. Let's trust Him (John 3:16). God bless you.
