My Latest Poem

Blind
All in the dungeon down below
The dreadful dark dungeon that's without hope
Blind among blind with dark all around
Tripping and stumbling each falls to the ground
Unaware they're imperceptive, unable to see
Each chooses his path thinking "What's in it for me?"
Drawn by the one who prowls like a lion
Where bondage is certain and hope is forgotten
Uninformed of their captor they see him as friend
And with empty promises he leads them to their end
I morn for these people unable to see
The joy that they're missing and grace that they need
I am no greater for I was once there
Trapped in the darkness, blind, unaware
But by His grace my King comes to save
He showed me His love and said "Run the race"
All that I do I do it for Him
He's taking over, I willingly end
Here at His altar I offer myself
"I give you what's yours; I can do nothing else"
As for the blind it's this that I pray
That they'd find the Savior and with him they'd stay
That they'd follow him always with all of their heart
This is the journey and now is the start
We must be alert for a war is occurring
But do not lose hope for we know the ending
Open your eyes you who stumble through darkness
Lay down your burdens, no longer be captives
Know the time's coming and will be here soon
When all will be judged based on the truth
This had really been burdening my heart. How there are so many people who so blindly rejected God without even giving him a chance. So many Christians who "put on a show" pretending that they love God, but do they even give him a second of their time? I'm in no place to judge anyone because I did that for so many years, and still have a lot to learn, but I morn for them because they don't see what they're missing. It is time for us all to wake up! Open our eyes and see that is is our duty to surrender to God. The more I surrender to him the more I see how absolutely wonderful it is to surrender, and I pray that every one can experience the joy of dying to themselves and living for God.
