Silent Men

"I found a love in me I always knew that existed. It just needed to be set free."

~Silent Men~

Silent men coming into view.
Clasping to breath to hear.
Clenching fists and closing eyes.
Anger deployed towards those who may or may not deserve it.

 

Crushing blows and bloodied fists.
Scorn laden on your face.
Condemning yourself for your actions.
Beautiful agony on display. 

Planned suffering.
Planned ordinance.
Trusting in blood.
Trusting in the sorrow for sorrow. 

Cuts on your fists.
Blood from another.
Walking back to where you were.
Men besting themselves and others.

 

Basins laid out for the washing of hands.
Water poured out to clean dusty feet.
Mistaken thoughts and words during a journey being made worse.
Are you allowed to start fresh? 

Silent men coming into view. 
And they wish to start brand new.
Guilty yet forgiven. 
Cuts and bruises are nothing compared to blood and wine.

With the old of new coming back to save and wash away. 

Love Despite Faults

"I found a love in me, I always somehow knew that it existed.

 It just needed to be set free."

What does it mean to live for the world?

It means nothing, nothing at all.

Do we put God above everything else?

Or does the world look better than an end of light and song?

It is my job to be a stone tablet to the world.

I am here to bring salt to the bland.

To be more for God and less for me.

And to be a desire for good and not evil.

As this world grows towards a place absent from truth,

The true believers will be brought out.

Standing for good,

Standing and singing, proclaiming, and dying.

What does He want from us?

He wants us to love Him,

Love Him with all that is in us.

He wants us to listen to him even in the bustle and in the quiet. 

It is not my job to condemn the lost.

I am here to love despite peoples faults.

I am to love like Christ loves

Because I am not perfect either.
