Steps of Redemption

I got busy living, tasting what was once a dream Filling in the blanks that left holes in my seam Visiting the courage given for this day God already knew I had to come this way All the things that kept me out of sight and mind Were just the illusions of a satanic design Disguised as ugly thoughts, monsters in the dark Robbing me of everything even my joyous spark I am forged with love, mercy and the living word To be my sheild in combat against all i heard Mighty weapons formed to keep safe the elect Stand on bloody battlegrounds unable to connect Lost in the reflections of right and wrong Some to bring about complacency's abstract song With little battles brewing into full scale wars And what should be aboutlove becoming mindless chores The ache being greater than the stench of fear Even if but for that moment I was here I must claim the joyousness of that.
