To stand alone in this dark world
And yet bask in the Light of God's Kingdom,
"Bold and fearless"
A mystery to many others fascinated, drawn near
Who sincerely search and seek
Even try to pray and ask
Then knock on the invisible Door suddenly revealed;
But to others who scoff and look with pity and scorn,
Mock and deride,
Reject and brush off any worth of such a one-
A believer in this Messiah, unseen Yeshua;
They hold little value in a slim view at best
Only a person "who escapes and hides from reality"
And refuses to be part of their world's reality.
Their coming and going
To work, submit and build up their lives in a world of success
And even to become wealthy
To become a strong force in life today,
To be appreciated and seen by many others the same.
But those who separate from this world
Who seek the eternal Kingdom receive enlightened satisfaction
Stand apart from others, reach out with hearts of love and mercy
Minds that can embrace the weak and poor the same
Even those who clutch onto temporary riches
Male and female, young and old held closely in prayer
With Godly compassion,
Yet, often hatred rises and is returned
Disgust turns easily into persecution
By those who reject a Creator
Who will not repent and follow the Shepherd, ever
As they stand on top of a proud and selfish tower
Arrogance the light that brightens who they choose to be
Who they are to themselves.
The "sheep and goats" will stand before the Judge
Even though their eternal judgment is already known.
