Sundown Dawns on Me No More
In the midst of cheerful conversation and laughter
I remembered
the bareness that lies ahead
and it lies indeed
because it fulfills my need
for deeper compatibility
for my walls crumbled
when the sheets mumbled
reminding me of
the years of our friendship
that gave me protection
from genuine living
until I heard the bells ringing
aggressively ringing
pulling me in
back to sweet reality
giving me a friend so loving
in Jesus Christ
I found my reviving
soul that once had so much to offer
but He restored this heart so
in Him I will wander
deep in the waters of trust
for he brought my long-suffered life
to a position of just
removed all the lust and dusted the dust
that crippled my heart
and gave me a false
name and face
for it hid every trace
of admirable qualities
that were once so instilled in me
The enemy tried
and although I can’t lie
he had my hands tied
but God ripped apart
all of the ties
of demonical lies
for the Lord holds me now
and my hands are not tied
giving me liberty
so to him I will bow
