Awake ... awake

Romans 11:8 

As the Scriptures say,

“God has put them into a deep sleep. 

To this day He has shut their eyes so they do not see,
    and closed their ears so they do not hear.”

 

Focus

 

Blessings flowing in the air ... quietly without a sound

Folks not knowing they’re there ... tired of the load they carry

Seldom they hear or even see ... always staring to the ground

Wishing they could leave the "here" ... as they’re always in a hurry

 

Searching for rays of the Son ... hidden behind self-made clouds

Left for me to fill the heart ... and with them in patience share

Prepared for the ones without hope ... who plant “love” in doubt

And to help them see in part ... the lovely gifts beyond despair
