Song for the Lost

Yes, I love you with all of my heart.

No, I do not wish to shove my beliefs down your throat.

No, the reasoning behind my faith is not one of instability, irrational thought, and delusion.

I don’t represent hatefulness, as God is love;

But I am bound to represent justice.

God wishes to send no one to hell; not you, or me

But sin exists. If it does not, then what are laws?

What are ethics? Wrongdoing? Consequence?

I know you feel a gnawing void

I saw it every day in your eyes for weeks on end

I saw it in the way you spoke through your beautiful art,

Humanity in unadulterated form.

Man is corrupt – you know this.

You see the way man has taken regulations in an attempt to contain God’s righteousness

To contain Him in a single box – it cannot be done.

Only to corrupt it in every possible manner, in legalistic pursuit of their own intuition of

“Good” and “bad” and “heaven” and “hell” and “right” and “wrong”

Do you not see? This void will never end

Hopeless as that may seem, there is a solution.

But you won’t believe me. Even if I tell you that

I have the ointment, the bandage, the elixir for your wound

You will deny me and cover it with your self-formulated, butchered truth

Your spiritual emollient will lead to infection, beloved.

Infection to spreading, spreading to amputation, amputation to death

We’re all going to die, you know.

But spiritually, you don’t have to.

Open your eyes to the truth that is glistening before them

Inviting you into the Arms of the Peace you seek

Peace that surpasses all understanding

You will deny Him.

You hunger and refuse food.

You thirst and deny water.

You long and are left unsatisfied.

You are naked and refuse clothing.

I entreat you! Hear the beckoning voice of eternity as it presses upon your heart

Abandon your humanity and seek Christ

He loves you! He loves you. He loves you.

You! The wretched man you are

have admitted the shortcoming of your own soul

Will you do nothing for it?

I love you with all of my heart.

Eternity is in store for you and me and His children.

Let us partake in His holiness together.

Before it is too late, beloved.
