Courage For Now

 

The farmer feels stressed
because he knows just who’s at the door

Clocks are all running slow
Zombies walk as if whole
Darkness seems far away
Orange lights fill the place
God’s return’s any day

It’s sunny again
but we are in the eye of the storm

Donkeys don’t want to budge
They’re the most stubborn bunch
Doing the Lord’s tough task
storm comes on awfully fast
On them the storm will latch

The kind leader and the cruel one
the wise followers and the foolish

But God is our friend
the wise are on God’s side safe and warm

Cat’s by the Master’s side
He doesn’t seem to mind
Cat knows the whole routine
He will now sleep and dream
sweetest acceptance dreams

The Holy Ghost’s sent
we act just like the wise who are warned

Rabbit knows her escape
She knows that God’s the way
Hawk’s like a kindly man
who’ll get a second chance
He knows God’s wild romance

The kind leader and the cruel one
the wise followers and the foolish
and ones God loves and ones God uses

It’s cloudy right now
and I can hear the sound of the storm

Winds carry it around
rhythmic, insistent sound
Gears grinding to a halt
trucks hauling stuff all stall
It’s all that’s in the store

The pleasantest friend
since we are in the war of the Lord

Giving us his good sword
Who we need in this war
To obey Father God
is the way to live on
Graduate to beyond

We’re winning, of course
though we don’t want to see anymore
His courage is all
that’s needed just to walk through that door
I thank you, Lord
and bless you
in these tests

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
