Life’s delusions, lies
Wearing a disguise
Time wasted, love lost
Such a wicked cost
Forgoing my dreams
My empty soul screams
Painfully dying
As I keep lying
Hiding from the truth
Squandering my youth
Playing another’s game
Because of my shame
Quenching my desires
Entangled in briars
Thorns piercing my heart
My life falls apart
Endless days of gray
Keeping joy at bay
**********
Then without warning
Early one morning
Love whispers no more
Time to close the door
To bury the past
Delight at long last
A new day has come
Time to refrain from
Self-doubt, guilt and shame
Let’s play a new game
One filled with My grace
Absent of disgrace
Compassion and love
Showered from above
This day I proclaim
Time for a new name
You’re My lovely girl
Such a precious pearl
Be a VOICE shouting into the wilderness.
“CHRIST is returning!”
