Yahweh's Retort

Yahweh’s Retort

Satan spoke to me in the darkest watch of last night,
His deceptive words and lies tricked me to incite,
Rage at people I just want to love,
I forgot about forgiveness and the one above,
I screamed to my creator on his throne,
Why I was in my situation; seemingly alone,
But how could one so divine,
Be betrayed by those he had over to dine,
How could he understand,
How people have left me for a more fruitful land,
The devil gripped my heart,
And tore all that was good in me apart,
Then my God reminded me of the wizard sage,
Who was speaking to that hobbit around my own spiritual age,
That I must make good on the time that I have,
Even when it seems I can’t even walk that path,
Then I saw my king strung up on the cross,
I was able to remember the cost,
That my savior has been where I have been,
He has seen the travesties I have seen,
He, too, wondered if he was forsaken,
His intentions were also gravely mistaken,
He was there before,
And he knows that for him I could soar,
I want to truly understand his affection,
I want to see past the human infection,
Walking down the center of this town,
Teaching of blood shed on a thorny crown,
Preaching love of brothers,
Sending the hearts of the children back to their broken mothers,
I am beloved,
I have friends; forget what I said,
I pray for my lord’s mercy,
For his Agape I am thirsty,
He loves my every part,
For me he has such a big heart,
Even when I cry to him why I am forsaken,
Even when I feel like all my joy has been taken,
I no longer want to be the shadow boy,
I will show all the world the reason for my unabated joy,
Abba loves you I will cry on,
As that drumbeat heralds the coming of the new Zion...
