An orphan left without a home,
The poor with nothing of their own,
The homeless sleeping on the street,
The beggar with no bread to eat.
Those plagued by sickness, near to death,
Or those who draw a mindless breath,
The hearts betrayed by those they trust,
Whose dreams have crumbled into dust.
The grieving spouse, the lonely soul,
With no one left to make them whole,
The unemployed, the low of pay,
Who struggle through each passing day.
Yet these are not the most forlorn;
There is a deeper state to mourn:
Those who live without the Son,
Or know the Lord, yet from Him run.
Those who sit within the pew,
But fail to live the Word they knew,
Who hold the Bible in their hand,
Yet leave it closed upon the stand.
Those who know the weight of sin,
Yet let the darkness enter in,
Who know of Hell and Satan’s gate,
Yet walk toward that bitter fate.
Those who have received the Light,
But hide it from the world’s cold night,
It is for these we truly weep,
For they are lost in shadows deep.
To enter Hell out of ignorance is one thing,
But to know God’s truth and still walk,
That path by ignoring His word,
That is the ultimate tragedy.
