Our Sacred Duty
we are created to reside in heaven
we are created to be new creatures
we are created for sainthood
it is our duty to strive to go back home
we are created men & women of God
we are created to be His beloved sons
we are created to believe & know of Him
it is our duty to strive to go back home
we must choose to be good & loving
we must choose to be courageous & strong
we must choose heaven where we belong
it is our duty to strive to go back home
there’s no greater death than being lost in the
whims & whiles of wanton ticklish philosophy
where hearing & reciting are of feigned intellect
it is our duty to strive to go back home
for they change at a moment’s notice these histrionics
reminding us to duty to avoid sin & sham & the flim-flam
let us rise above the natural to the supernatural
it is our duty to strive to go back home
we are called to be other than what we are
we live in a time that is lost to purity
we live in a time that is lost to love
it is our duty to strive to go back home
so many people play at this holiness
so many self deceive to make it all right
only to finally choose insanity as a way out
instead of calling to duty to strive to go back home
