Soul To Soul
Never felt like a toad hopping along the road,
Nor have I suffered like God's servant Job.
Never have I been deprived of a humble abode,
Nor have I ever been denied warmth from the cold.
But I understand the meaning of a troubled soul
as well as treasured things more precious than gold.
Have you experienced the quaking of your own heart
and felt the chills and shaking of your aching soul?
I've imagined the pain of many a mortal on the dole,
and often measure the deceitfulness of my own heart,
realizing I must lead and not follow my heart.
Yes, I understand the meaning of a troubled soul
and have observed dying souls long before they grew old,
but also witnessed many rescued before their bell's toll.
Knowing the imperfections of my heart as it often fails God's
standards, may I reframe from the judgment of others.
Yes, I understand the meaning of a troubled soul
as well as remedies to any and all before they fold.
'Looking up' ignites the flame to fulfill our assigned role.
Touch another soul and watch your own soul be made whole.
There's no better time to share the greatest story ever told.
