Finer Things
Calamity springs from the cesspool of self
Material beckoning, lust on the shelf.
What nonsense, this running and fretting and strife
When beyond waits completion and a passion for life.
Was my soulworth betrayed to believe in a lie?
Did I gamble forever, on the toss of a die?
Years that I've wasted in backslidden mire
Could be cleansed in an intense Redeemer-born fire.
He blessed me with wisdom;
I spit in His face.
He showered down knowledge
I've spurned His pure grace.
I've plugged up my ears
While the angels did sing.
That you were born
For finer things.
A glimpsed victory, (though pinpricked)
My conscience intact.
But the quiet's soon vanquished
By the self's wretched act.
And the train's left once more
For the spiritual realm
And the hand on the wheel guides
A faithless, lost helm.
Ah, be cursed dead purveyor of hopeless delusion.
Loathsome liar and pusher
Of guilt-laced confusion.
The Messiah has been, and now is and shall be
Your eternal destruction;
Sing my heart, I am free!
Now a vision
Breaks through fog
Of shrouded illusion.
For the season it changes
And with it decision.
I know as I rise high
On bald eagle wings
That I was created
For finer things.
