he sought them and taught them,
leaving hearts excited
by the need for love that believes
in the life beyond the night,
the life that is grace’s gift,
the life – eternal life
he was wise, shrewder than sin,
stirring up their prayers,
causing them to answer to Him,
the One who needs only this…
the heart who trusts in His Son,
the soul who listens to love,
the wonder of a sincere believer,
following Him through every season.
he sought them and taught them,
there is One who bought them,
with His gift of grace, all it takes is faith,
to save, yes, save…
forever, they make their way,
to the alter, where they’ll pray,
for the hope that lives to this day!
Ever watch Exhibition Unknown with Josh Gates
Uncovering ancient cities with treasures that await
His sense of humor
Makes him shrewder
Than many, he's a natural as our souls he elevates
.
The shrewder one
may yet triumph
tonight
in this maddening
heat of the
prizefight
where ferocity reigns
and might
is right.
Here the last
can still outlast
the first,
for even the best
can be at his
worst,
either way it goes,
egos burn and
burst.
Victor and vanquished
will stay
remorseless.
They'll fight again till
they'll be both
lifeless.
For to fight and win
is an unfinished
business!

In this maddening heat

the shrewder one may yet

For even the best can be
at his worst
and the last can still
outlast the first,
but either way it goes,
egos burn and burst.
Victor and vanquished
will stay remorseless;
they'll fight again till
they'll be both lifeless;
for to fight and win is an
unfinished business !
