All alone as the sun rose red

Without your friendship I have gone astray

I'm lost in love without your heart to show the way

Roaming around I watched adulation turn dire

Looking for you brings wayward desire

Searching all day forfeiting devoutness

You are absent and I find fondness

I missed you at a turn and found...

Little white church
Rising steeple, praying
Stretched toward the heavens
Praises lifted high, exalting
Breathe of holy fires
Burning away the darkness
With His inspiration
His light, insight, grace

Little white church
Hands folded, applauding
Raised in prayer, yearning
Erasing every doubt, each question
All the darkness that obscures
Hopes in shadows of dread
Silhouettes of devastation and ruin

And being alone isn’t strange....

Erelong the sphere was contrived,
intrinsically safe with His arms.
Born— soon derived,
and molded from His heart so warm.

Fain to live,
hight to be a no man in an island.
Sith ere He do forgive,
our sins be reprimand.

Teened with so many misdeed,
but He do acquit;

seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness
denying self...
