Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis
In a world of shame
among shameless people
one needs a strong sense of faith
for wisdom as your compass
for freedom from the perils of bondage
freedom from debt
freedom from guilt
freedom from lending
freedom from judging
From Buddha to Jesus
The path is clear
the road is long and narrow
but do not fear
Just as the caterpillar thought his life was over
a new life has sprung.
It is as simple as letting go
from the branch it has clung.
Trust in the Lord
and do not cling to your deeds.
Trust in the Lord, and
He will give you direction and fulfill your needs.
Through the good and the bad
take no passengers of ill fate.
Travel light and be thankful
your path will be made straight.
And when that journey appears to be coming to an end
do not allow your heart be filled with sorrow
He has led you to Him, your ever faithful, true friend.
God's wisdom is your compass,
the credit is not yours.
He will show you a path
beyond closed doors.
When you begin to give glory to God,
you can go on and on.
He fills your soul, as He fills a cup
He strengthens you, and empowers you to never give up.
And then you begin to see God's beauty in man
and in this shame filled world, God's love.
You begin to realize your eyes have betrayed you
because your focus was on the ground and not up above.
Have faith, my friend, I tell you the truth.
It is wisdom I offer,
and listen now in your youth.
Though now you are laughing
and having much fun.
If you lose sight of the Lord,
your happiness will be over
and where there was laughter, then there will be none.
So start now, and let go.
It is time you have begun,
like the caterpillar finally lets go
to the branch he has clung.
Give glory to God.
