Fallen Temples

Fallen Temples

When we think

Our walls are crumbling down

That our very foundation

Is being destroyed

Its just God

Leveling yet another temple

Of the idol we’ve just served

Chosen Few

Chosen Few
A true story

With each breath

I draw further and further

From you

Now I don’t know what to do

Because your truth

I chose to forget

So naturally

Our relationship split

In two

Then my prayers became

More and more few

As words of deceit and confusion

I began to spew

The day I realized your truth

Is the day I died

Because I realized that the god I was serving

Wasn’t you, it was all a lie

I was just serving me

But I couldn’t see

Past all of my self-righteousness and hypocrisy

Then you showed me the light

And gave me the choice to continue in darkness

Or to fight…

But I obviously don’t serve you

So by default, I am one with the night

And even though my heart and soul

Still tries to do what is right

All my efforts blow away with the wind

As if it never happened

Right now I am lost

But with you

I can be found

But as long as I deny you

On this earth, I will forever be hell-bound

Though still young

My day on this earth is numbered

I know what I have to do

But when will I do it? I continually wonder

I wonder

Wonder why?

That though for my life,

You have died

Why I can’t pick up my cross

And at least try

Its hard to admit

But I’m afraid

Scared of the truth

And the price I will pay

Because when I found the truth

That day

You showed me

That we live in “The Matrix”

That though my parents think they serve you

We are all living in fakeness

But everyone will think I’m crazy

They won’t take this

But I don’t want to see them wither away

For the rest of my wakeness!

And its after this thought

That I hide inside

Because though I know what to do

I’m too scared, so I put the truth aside

All I know is that the devil is a liar

And he will do

All that he can do

To make us think

That what we serve is true

That is why many are called

But the chosen are few

* Mathew 22:14

Revival

Revival

God, I fell from grace

Lately I’ve been living a reckless life

Your love, I’ve disgraced

Instead of staying at my appointed place

I ran out and did what I wanted

And tumbled right onto my face

I drunk earth’s worldly potion

Now I’m not even following you

But going through the motions

I make myself look like the best christian

With my good deeds and my politeness

But its all just an act

I’m nothing but self-righteous

I’ve made myself the god of me

And it almost took me to my end to see

God, I can’t handle myself!

I’m in anguish

And I cant take this!

I don’t know why

I ever left your side

I thought my old self died

So I can share in your divine pride

I guess you were right

A dog does return to his vomit

That’s why as soon as I left

My life burned up like a comet

If I became a new man for you

Then changed again

Then who am I?

What in life can I do?

I will be like a seed that died

And never grew

My spirit will just be blown with the wind

Tossed aside

Again and again

Forever on an uneven course

Til my end

God, you believe in second chances

I desperately need another shot

My life without you has been o so distraught

I’m done going through the motions

And only worrying about survival

Lord,

Help me

I need a revival!

*Proverbs 26:11
