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 Written by Trudy Schrader on 06-22-2022
