In the den.
Silence
My enemies are all around me
For surely death has found me
For so long I have been exiled and abandoned
And now I ask, does the sovereignty of God and my life work together in tandem?
for I am soon to be a phantom
All because of my ancestor Adam
death has come to greet me
to seat me, cheat me, and ultimately defeat me
Where is my hope
In the dark I am alone
So far so distant
I can’t remember what it was to be home
and now there is no trail of crumbs leading back
There is only a lack
and so to make up for the slack
my enemies attack and throw me far down
into the ground
where I will be found
asleep inside
attempting to hide
but life will leave my side
Will anyone know that they lied
What about the faith I had
Was not my Maker glad
Was not the One who formed my very soul
leading me unto the most magnificent goal
but where has that led me
for now I pay the fee
because I lived in communion with my Provider
my Love
my Life
and now I am a lonely fighter
for these last few minutes
Remembering my life
its ups and downs
its hits and fits
I consider the life I lived
the road I walked
Did He forgive
was all in vain
A foolish attempt to do the insane
to save my heart and cure my brain
It’s like I served before in this world
Only to be served upon a platter of injustice
falsely accused, bruised, and abused
What’s left now, what is there to lose
Death flirts with me here more than ever before
and I know not what is in store
Nature to me is such a whore
opening her door and sweeping her floor
with the blood of her guests
regardless if they choose to protest
Life offered a quiz, but they failed the test
and still the line to her home is infinite at best
But it’s not
Have I forgotten O’ My Lord
Wielder defender with shield and sword
Guiding me in His ways!
Oh powerful King who knows my days
Death is but a vapor
A clay axe
She will have to face the facts
and see oh great merciful Mercy
The One who intercedes
I will find refuge when all is dark
when all seems lost
I have an ark
upon which I will trust and float
upon that heavenly impenetrable boat
And into death’s sea all will drown
except those who kneel before the crown
In heavenly places so bright
Oh heavenly treasures make the battle a worthy fight
So dear enemies hide and confide in the false bride
who once tried, she will show you she lied because all that she is, is an idol inside
But you won’t listen because of your pride
You are sinking
Never again shall I doubt my God!
He will deliver with staff and rod
Though beasts surround me
Though the light is dim and hard to see
I am exactly where He wants me to be
and in that, I am free
