Yet
Man-made,
On sand,
Where falls and failures return.
I deserve no second-chance, no forgiveness.
Yet, You are my Redeemer.

A valley of shadow,
A valley of death,
Where darkness and pain linger.
I deserve no help, no light.
Yet, You guide me.

Mountain tops,
Eagles' wings,
Where power and majesty present.
I deserve no sight, no view.
Yet, You are my Vision.

Still waters,
Green pastures,
Where love and joy reign.
I deserve no rest, no peace.
Yet, You carry me.

*****,
Gomorrah,
Where evil and lawlessness abide.
I deserve their judgment, their punishment.
Yet, You are my Savior.

Tarshish,
Bushes,
Where cowardice and disobedience go.
I deserve captivity, shame.
Yet, You set me free.

Egypt,
Babylon,
Where idolatry and hardness live.
I deserve enslavement, the Nile.
Yet, You are my Rescuer.

Heaven,
Hell,
Where life or death eternally exist.
I deserve the second.
Yet, You are my God.

Not by might-
Darkness is vigilant-
By light.

Walking alone.
Enemies shielded by shadow.
Armor worn wears thin.

Flaming arrows fly
Striking,
Hitting heels.

Struggle and Stumble.
Tears and tears.
Failure.

Darkness advances,
Taking its toll.
Twelve tolls and the night is over.

Morning-
Not mourning-
Alights.

Revival:
Standing with strength,
Living towards longevity.

Walking in a pair
Support that never runs short,
Encouragement which conquers every ailment.

— The End —
