Rescued

RESCUED 

Promised to always love you whatever comes my way 

But hatred has overtaken my heart 

Promised to always follow The Way 

But cares of the world distracts my heart 

Promised to always speak of your love to the weary and lost 

But I have seen myself becoming a rebel 

Promised to always be at my duty post 

But I often get carried away by Jezebel 

Promised to always speak of the Truth 

But my sinful member keeps silencing me 

Promised to always hold on to the Faith 

But worldly pleasures sometimes pressure me 

Each dawn of a new day takes me farther away from my Master 

Until Love shows up for my rescue again 

The special love of the Father  

Now I’m free to run and fight again.
