Left Behind...

Left behind...Oh Jesus there is nothing but emptiness.
     I failed to heed to the warnings of your witnesses.
Left behind...Oh Jesus I wonder what am I to do?!
     I was left behind, true, but I still love and believe in You!
Left behind....I just wasn't ready spiritually.
     But if I'm given a choice, I'll follow the voice inside me.
Left behind....so if I'm to go through 7 years of tribulation,
     I will refuse the mark of the beast, for hell won't be my destination!
Left behind...through this tribulation, I will hold to my faith and what I believe in.
     I will bask in Christ's Salvation, and will not succumb to sin!
Left behind...I will stand beside God fearing men, and fight the enemy.
     With my pen, I will lift Jesus in my poetry!
