We Know

No one knows the depths from which great ones rise,

We are only adept to understand that which stands before our eyes.

Our judgement is skewed by the notions of the majority.

We have become desensitized to the (?) of purity.

Consumed with ourselves we have lost the ability to really care.

We ask questions like, how are you not wanting an honest answer to caress our ears?

The verdict is in after decades of mass deliberation,

The Truth will be known in this very generation.

The race of life has continued but the baton has been dropped.

Our parade rides with different idols taking the top spots.

Look in the mirror and see what’s really there.

Is it what you’d hope to see or are you unfamiliar with the person at whom you stare?

Are we any different from the Somalian pirates we see on TV?

Or is that they just got caught doing what we do quite regularly?

Let’s face the facts, you and I are both wretches undone.

The only hope we really have lies in the only begotten Son.

It is logical for birds to fly south during winter months.

It is however quite irrational for an innocent man to die for a guilty one.

Who are we that the King of Glory would find it a pleasure to make us his own?

He has saved us from death and called us to his throne.

This rise from the pits to royalty is only in fairy tales well known,

But to you and I it is a reality, let us embrace it likes it is all we have ever known.
