Understanding Forgiveness is a Long Journey

Pardon my sarcasm

Forgive my lack of p.c.

But where would we be

Without the curious?

Want me to just conform

Kowtow to your ways

But I look in the mirror

And no lemming do I see

Pardon my French

But, you’re a follower

Nauseatingly gullible

Intellectually dishonest

Follow the tides

Of popular tripe

Winds of change come

And you’re long gone

Say I’m a fool

Call me anachronistic

A freak following

Nothing but a lunatic

Many ways to God?

You say it’s true

But everything can’t be

Wind carries away the chaff

One day holy fire

Will leave only the pure

Absolute truth standing alone

All that remain, on their faces

Gone like winter snow

On a sunny day forgotten

Your empty philosophies

Betraying you and your kind

And the risen Son on his throne

Will cast his rays day and night

Holy light evermore shining

The darkness never to return

And you will be blotted out

Forgotten and melted away

No page in any book 

No word to recall your existence

And we your martyrs will rejoice

Our tears replaced with laughter

Bruised backs straightened and healed

Arms raised and voices lifted

Songs to our Maker and Savior

Sung strong and true

Our melodies carried to His ears

Living water to our hearts

So let this be a warning

And a call to turn aside

For the end of the story

Written and bound

Our creator’s long tale

Of humankind is winding down

The Truth is ascending his steed

And will soon rescue His bride

Seek him in your unbelief

Search for Truth and you will see

Once revealed it always bears fruit

And your eyes will be opened

While you still have breath

Answer the quiet call

Truth’s whispering for your attention

Repentance will open the door

Weep now for your many transgressions

From knees confess missing the mark

Find comfort that we’ve all found

Our hearts wanting and needy

Find the peace that has eluded

The hope always out of reach

The grace and mercy of your victims love

And then understand forgiveness
