The Truth of the Matter

Within the arms of the devil
Are men who made a choice
Opting where to live their days
Thereby losing soulful voice
Their backs had turned on goodness
Their faces faced away
With allegiance to the evil one
Their lives will now decay

But, waiting as a parent does
God waits for their return
To hold them in His warm embrace
Provided that they learn
He’ll wait forever, for us all
As He loves us ever true
Though we had turned our backs to Him
He shan’t do that to you
