She Did
She came to you for days, for years
And uttered words that echoed truth -
Words that but fell off your ears
That longed instead for news that soothed
And comforted your hearts to stay
Forever chained in idle days.
She came to you and said, “Look up!
For our redemption draweth nigh”
She spoke of wrath that filled the cup
That He did drink – that He did die
For us to live with Him again
And yet your ears, from this, refrained.
She pointed to the turning skies
And cried that you may realize
The burden of the coming times
That someone may escape these ties
And be with Him forevermore
But your ears, her words, ignored.
She ached and begged for just an ear
To turn and listen, to beware
That His day will quick appear, as
Thieves do catch you unaware
And so her every breath, she spoke
Alas, but truth was to you, cloaked.
And so you dealt to her your scoffs
But she, her message never ceased.
In unbelief, you sent her off
And thought she would return at least
But then was she gone suddenly
Though now you search her hastily
She answered to a voice that called
And now remains by Him, enthralled
Your time to listen came and went
But you did not your hearts repent
So though you search, is she not found -
Her soul is to her bridegroom, bound!
