Life is but bliss! Such a modern day phrase;

As we look upon our sin as simply ‘Just a phase’.

 

So many ways to climb this ladder we call success;

Indulging in earthly ‘shadows’ …on Eternity thinking less and less.

 

We raise up a glass with a smile on our face;

Here’s to us…..the BEAUTIFUL human race!

 

For we strive and struggle making a name for ourselves;

Placing and organizing our life on the worlds ‘who’s who’ invisible shelves.

 

In the midst of our  important lives and busy focus;

We manage to stay in church to hear a story about honey and locus?

 

Oh how we love the Lord! How we find joy in his gifts;

But how quickly upon another lover our passion shifts.

 

‘Its ok’ as we confirm the compromise in our hearts;

The darkness begins to draw near as the slumber on our soul starts.

 

We have forgotten what it means to share true love with him;

Letting the world go and our flesh become dim.

 

We have grasped hold of the shiny jewel that seemed to catch our eye;

Pushing away the wilderness …..knowing that in there our ‘will’ would be forced to die.

 

We have confessed to KNOW him and have surrendered our hearts;

Not understanding this is not IT……this is just where it starts!

 

So when that cry goes out and our KING shines bright from the sky;

Know that this will be  THE END. There is no more, “I’m ready to TRY!”

 

 May we Choose to be like the five virgins who prepared themselves just right;

Who gathered enough oil to be pleasing in HIS sight.

 

 

Don’t let your time be wasted or your tender heart grow cold;

The oil and passion is  for you not the virgins of old.

 

Could it be today…..tomorrow that the King interrupts ‘Our show’;

The voice cries out PREPARE YOURSELF…

May your name he would know!
