Always hope

Micah 7:18 New Living Translation (NLT)

18 Where is another God like you,
    who pardons the guilt of the remnant,
    overlooking the sins of his special people?
You will not stay angry with your people forever,
    because you delight in showing unfailing love.

 

 

Destruction

 

Break, shatter and pulverize … grind it into dust.

So I cannot recognize … what once appeared like trust.

Relentlessly just hammer so that the beating sound

Drives away remnants of truth … that were Heaven bound.

 

Let the mind take control so impulse will direct

Everyone and everything … and all it can collect.

Gone are days of caring and help someone in need.

Choice is made forever … indifference the creed.

 

The world will appear better ... revival is in sight.

I will call it resurrection in the darkness of the night.

Emptiness will be fulfilled … growing into nothing.

Souls are bathed in depths of it … stained, soiled and rotting.

 

Death proclaims the whole of it ... Satan is determined

To conquer what’s the best in us … through misguided sermons.

Bring a gospel of happiness … prosperity and ease.

So God will give you all you want, if you just asked Him, Please?

 

It seems that all is upside down and self has all the answers.

Oh brother, it took two thousand years of progress to defend it.

The days of Noah seem so clear … we are fast approaching them.

Will no one rise to build a boat … to show the remnants when?

 

Judgment around the corner … or may be already here.

We dance and sing and have our joy … blinded without fear.

Not by water but by fire … that is the way it will be.

Is lack of fire from within … that quenches our destiny?
