The Battle For Peace
How is it with them, I wonder
As I fumble through the motions
Wondering if their rapture
Hits them like a potion
Out of the blue
Into the night
Stinging the nostrils
Craving light.
The silence, deafening
My defeat, noticeable
Why their happiness over mine?
Am I not a lamb in this wool?
I am shepherded outside
Scared and penniless, I cry
But I do know this
I still ask why
Why the ignorance?
Why their lives having importance
Over mine?
I’ll do this dance
Until I get it right
For I am led inside
Into the Good Shepard’s arms
And now I know they lied
They broke a family covenant
They think I can have stones
Cast at me and think they
Sin not in their bones.
Miracle after miracle I was saved
Time after time He showed for me
Endless, unconditional love
Because He heard my pleas
Good Lord help me, save me
And then it was so.
Eleven times it was so
I forsook shelter in one blow
From an evil unlike others
I sacrificed to save myself
Little did I know of the soon
To be mine wealth.
They have happiness and I
Don’t count mine still
I feel their stones
The bond is what will kill
I stay with Him through it all
I stay with the others too
I have no choice but to find peace
Through and through
For what is happiness when
There is peace in
Adversity rising daily
And then I win?
