Michelle

(after a Facebook post, today)

oh that you would let God break through

where small self-concern keeps others out

that the windows of your soul could open

shine His Light on your despairing night

you have no thought that pains may end

when fickle pleasure’s no more pursued

your soul, no more your body’s slave, would fly!

alive! set free upon God’s good grace

would that you would shout “Yes!” to Life

redeemed from the death that deceives you

which tickles your soul but offers no peace

oh that you change the race that you run
