Walking A Way

Walking A Way

The lies that we follow, the stranger’s voice

calling us away from the fold.

Acting as if we have made some choice,

wandering aimlessly in darkest cold.

Seeking to play, we are played like toys,

so the robber has us, tight in his hold?

The thief comes with purpose, he destroys,

not as if we have not been so told.

Yet we forget, distracted by all the noise,

and off after our desires we strolled.

Falling for the schemes the enemy employs,

for the wages of sin we are sold.

We have been robbed of our former joys,

but what of redemption foretold.

When shall He come again with all His poise,

that those shamed may be consoled.

How long do we wait until we actually rejoice,

in greatest worship our Savior extolled.

Knowing Christ has foiled these simple ploys,

our souls once, now forever enrolled.

No! Sin is conquered, Christ remains victorious,

                we should remember, return, be bold.

Needing only to listen to the Word- so glorious,

                indwelt by the Spirit – God to behold.

This is the Way we should be walking.
