The Calling

This is me – always secretly wishing to be free
I feel so trapped in this world
I need to do something life changing and bold
What I need to do, I already know
But when the arrow shoots, left behind is only the bow

Riches and gold is what people seem to chase
But I see only destruction for this human race
The answer - the solution lies in the stars
Always there healing everybody’s scars

Shining brightly in the blue morning sky
He’s holding the barrier protecting you and I
Like electricity His love through us flow
The arrow now taking with it a true golden bow.

Interesting.." see only destruction for the human race"???? It is the creation of God's own hands. He will be very selective who he destroys, Rev.11: 18 " bring to ruin those ruining the earth'.. is just one group destroy because destroying earth as he purposed bbn
