In Times Like These

 

Questioning, In times like these, we look around in disgust,
Questioning all we see and hear; the heart grows cold.
As spiritual darkness envelops, it enslaves to immobilize.
Lost in perpetual states of blindness, we wander aimlessly.
Bombarded with lies and false hope, we stand disengaged.

Losing hope in times like these, we grow weary in well doing.
Given to apathy, losing hope, nothing is gained or proclaimed.
With nothing gained, meaningless existence further enslaves.
Enslaved by the spirit of darkness, we look beyond ourselves.
Looking beyond all that disturbs, glimmers of light are seen.

In times like these, we set our sights on the hope within.
Glimmers of light popping up here and there, we set our sights.
As the hope within begins to settle, an anchoring is sensed.
As lethargy begins to release, we sense the chains loosening.
As hope becomes more of a reality, we begin to awaken within.

With fresh vision and purpose, in times like these, hope realizes.
With renewed vision, the prophetic purposes of God enlighten.
Given to Scriptures, the prophetic cancels lies once blinding.
No longer immobilized, spiritual fervor renewed, faith materializes.
Ready to shake off spiritual slumber, we rise to proclaim.

Immersed in prophetic promises, we rise in times like these.
Immersed in the prophetic, a sense of urgency takes over.
As urgency of the times drives, we rise with a clarion sound.
With trumpets in hand, the clarion sound reverberates loudly.
Rising together in unity the voices of dissension are quelled.

Dissent quieting, in times like these, darkness dissipates rapidly,
As children of the light march on, they herald hope’s message.
Voices of dissent barely heard; their message is proclaimed.
His message heralded vehemently; many are drawn to the light.
Llight now in full force, the final harvest is ready to reap.


Do not let your zeal subside; keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord
Romans 12:11
