Opposing Outcome
When volition was created
And choices made
Equal opportunity to all
Eternal price paid
Evil grew and compassion waned
Idols became gods in glorified names
Fear couldn't be exposed in plain sight
He had to forge his chains in threads of light
Forked system of god and law
Controlling the masses by making them small
For generations, humanity came in line
Finding comfort in rules and regulations
Fear broke out in confinement of homes
As devils sat, in full view, among congregations
Suddenly, a miracle appeared
Changing hearts to adjust wayward minds
Taking responsibility in individual choice
Altered the focus of matter in time
TRUTH arose, calling little ones to come
See how LOVE created them to be
Webbing of silky terror fell with a thud
As authenticity came to agree
Issachar's crown given to over-comers
A new way of living just outside the door
Volition, ever-present
But Forgiven has silenced fear forevermore
...never abandon your crown
