Subject: A different Poem
Since I've been busier than ever imaginable and full of work and duty, I have been unable to write hymns recently. Will they sing again? What songs will they raise? I've been through the possibilities, you know. The rapping and the rhyming, the moments of designing what we feel what is fate, what we breathe and love and hate. Will they sing again? Whose lyrics move their hearts? I've been burdened by their parodies, you know. The melodrama victim says your providence, it kicked him to the sin, to desire, to the pleasure and the fire. If some sing again will I want to join their strains? I've been fighting it since baptism, you know. The learning and ignoring, the longing for exploring not your thoughts, but the lies of the lord of fools and flies. If I sing with them will I miss the hymns of old? I've been singing from my mother's womb, you know. The sin and the confession, the cross and its compassion; God made man Rose again – angels preach away my sin… A new song I will sing, How could such tunes grow old? You've sung them from eternity, I know. Your Spirit is revealing A righteousness that's sealing faith in you, faith in God, faith that sings my Savior's blood. We will sing it all again. |
