THE WAY OUT

The choices that we’ve made thus far
have brought us to this place and time,
it may be one of happiness
or of a life of crime.

Or maybe in fears gruesome grip
not knowing what the cause,
for there’s no Captain at the wheel
as your life’s ship’s fiercely tossed.

Adrift upon a surging sea
unknown to you the source,
of the only power capable
to keep you on your course.

Bent low by the darkness of the sins
accumulated long the way,
of days, and weeks and months and years
that you never thought to pray.

The Father has been standing by
just waiting for the spark,
of love that’s buried deep within
the dusty chambers of your heart.

You’ve tried many ways to put things right
except the only one that’s true,
it’s time to ask the Lord to enter
so He can do His Work in you.

He’ll bring about the changes needed
you will be born again,
true happiness will come to dwell
where once there lived but sin.

His laws will be the road map
that you follow from now on,
no more fear, no crime just peace and joy
rest in His heart, be calm.
