There is a young man in our church - Brandon Williams - who is an incredible writer... I truly enjoy reading his works. Today I asked it I could share one with you and he said yes... I pray you are blessed by it as much as I was.
We try to look and see, at a world that wasn't meant to be.
We try to look and see, at a world that wasn't meant to be.
Darkness and deception, clouded by misdirection.
Falling into the abyss, tainted by empty bliss.
We are chosen to shine like the sunrise,
But are stalked by those who seek our demise.
Its a lonely place, for those who hate us right to our face.
You're caught in his chain, and all you see is pain.
But all you seek is fame, and you're the only one to blame.
We are to burn bright, but we run in fright.
From the world He holds so dear, to the world of only fear.
The world He helped make, He came down for our sake.
He died so it wouldn't be, the fate for you and me.
To take the wrath of His Father, why would He even bother?
But He came to our aid, as we made Him march around like a parade.
A world so corrupt, He chose to bore up.
In His eyes it wasn't so nice, but that was the only thing that could suffice.
The justice of God in His hands, stung like a wipe with multiple strands.
Went up the hill, to finally lay white and still.
Came back to overcome the grave, that's the power that comes to save.
We don't have to be afraid anymore, we just need to open up when He comes to the door.
