Just Past the Bend

Flattering words, they sing to mans ear. Building mans pride, while calming his fear. Now flattery it seduces, those who pay heed. For it speaks to mans wants, but not to his needs. Only the foolish believe, all that they're told. So the pride of the foolish, is a pride that's bold. So remember next time, when words start to sing. Humility is an old song, it's the song of The King. 

I am told of the times, when the glory came down. God’s very presence, in view from the ground. Mans flesh became witness, to the power of God’s own hand.   As the glory came down, in the presence of man. The Red Sea held back, as God’s people walked through. Pharaoh’s army all drowned, as they tried to pursue. A cloud by day, a fire by night. The mountain trebling, Moses face lit bright. The sun moved not, as Aarons arms were lifted high. Jericho’s walls, fell as hard, as hail from the sky. Do we as God’s people, think the Glory’s all gone. Has the God who made us, left us all alone? Are we to be like those, sentenced to wander the wilderness till death. Because we refused, God’s very best! Oh GOD, send your glory, to visit our land. May the world again be witness, to Your Mighty Hand. Praise be The GOD of Glory! 

Imprisoned in the darkness, of a stone cave. Lay the Light of the World, in darkness's grave. As the stone sits tight, against the mouth of the tomb. The darkness below, spoke of His doom. "Son of the Mighty, who came from on high." "Now darkness is your lord, and in this darkness you will cry." "But now mans seen your light, for the very last time." And for the rest of eternity, your soul is mine." The Light stood silent, just as before. For three days of darkness, but not one more! Then suddenly the darkness, split straight in two. And as the Light grew stronger, the darkness withdrew. No devil, no hell, no darkness, could hold. The Light of the World, and a Spirit so bold!
