Had it so good
Didn’t see it
Walked by your
side
Eyes wandered
from your face
Every good thing
At our fingertips
No good thing
denied us
Only one thing
forbidden
Free will a
blessing
Serpent opened
the door
Had all we needed
Yet we chose the
curse
Oh the grief
Of being cast out
Unfulfilled
longing
Just to return
home
Echoes of
laughter
Of conversations
long ago
In the warm
sunshine
Our hands in
yours
Oh the pain of
truth
The need for
redemption
And our inability
to pay
A price beyond
our means
Where could we
turn
To whom would we
go
Our souls in need
And our vaults
empty
Silent cries
Reach searching
ears
Watching us
evermore
Coming to those
who call your name
Empty place in
each heart
In dark depths
Memories invite
us home
Pity those who
ignore the call
Savior’s prayer
timeless reaches
Into searching
hearts
And longing souls
Calling prodigals
to come home
A place at your
table
A mansion ready
to build
A candle burns in
the window
For the one in 99
you search
Our value found
In your love
Our eternity
Found in your
costly gift
May our eyes be
opened
The scales
falling
From our weary
eyes
Washed by
repentant tears
Fragrant breeze
drifts
Through mind’s
window
Memories of
pleasant walks
Hand in hand with
our creator
