SIGNS

THE PEOPLE GATHERED
THEY CAME FROM MILES ABOUT
THERE WERE MOSTLY CHILDREN
ALL CAME FOR ONE PURPOSE
TO SAY, “THANK YOU”

THE STORY IS TOLD IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
EACH PERSON PRESENT HAD THEIR OWN STORY TO TELL
AND YET, THE THEME WAS EXACTLY THE SAME
“MY LIFE WAS SAVED BY ONE MAN
WILLING TO RISK ALL TO TELL
A STORY”

MOST KNEW OF THE PERSECUTION THAT AROSE
TO HINDER THE MAN, TO DESTROY THE MAN
BUT HE STOOD AND STOOD AND STOOD
PERHAPS, REALIZING THIS DAY
PERHAPS, ONLY KNOWING THAT RIGHT HAD
TO CONQUER

WILL YOU PRAY FOR THIS MAN?
SO MANY LIVES HANG IN THE BALANCE
AND YET, THIS MAN IS NOT YET FREE
TO DO THE WORK
TO SAVE THE PEOPLE

WHAT WILL IT TAKE?
I PRAY THAT GOD DOES WHATEVER IT TAKES
TO SET THIS ONE MAN FREE
SO THAT HE MAY
WRITE THE STORY
WHICH SAVES THE CHILDREN

PRAYING FOR YOU, MEL
AND STANDING WITH YOU ALL THE WAY
BECAUSE I KNOW THE CALL UPON YOU
BUT I LOOK EVEN THIS DAY
AND MY SOUL WEEPS AT THE TROUBLE YOU HAVE BROUGHT FORTH
SIMPLE ADULTERY
BUT IT’S MORE THAN THAT, ISN’T IT?

MAY YOU TRULY SEE YOUR SIN
BY THE PRICE YOU MUST PAY
AND FOREVER REALIZE
THE TOTAL COST OF REDEEMING YOUR WAYWARD SOUL
UNTO HOLY, COMMISSIONED, POWER-FILLED
MARTYR-DOM OF THESE TIMES

THERE IS ONLY ONE SALVATION
THERE IS ONLY ONE WHO DIED FOR YOU
THE ANSWER DOES NOT REST WITHIN YOUR CHURCH
ONLY VAGRANT WORDS REMAIN THERE

NO, YOU MUST FIND THE FACE OF GOD
AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT
ALL THINGS
OR I PROMISE YOU
YOU WON’T SURVIVE

~
THE DELAY TAKES ITS TOLL
THE SIGHT IS HIDEOUS TO THE PEOPLE
THEY RUN AND HIDE THEIR FACES
WHY MUST IT COME TO THIS?
IS DEATH ONLY THE CESSATION OF LIFE
OR CAN THERE BE A DEATH
IN WHICH, LIFE GOES ON
BUT YOU WISH THAT IT WOULDN’T?

THE SIGHT WILL CHANGE
THE SCENE WILL BE THE SAME
THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WILL ONE DAY
SOON
OPEN YOUR EYES TO SEE
AS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE
TO SEE AS THE FATHER SEES
TO SEE YOUR SIN
TO SEE YOUR PAST
TO SEE YOUR LOVED ONES
TO SEE WHAT GOD REDEEMED YOU FOR

MAY THIS EYE-OPENING COME SOON
FOR I FEAR SO
THAT YOU WILL SIMPLY DESTROY YOURSELF
AND TAKE MANY WITH YOU
NOT OUT OF IGNORANCE
BUT OUT OF COMPLETE REBELLION
TO GOD’S LOVE
AND HIS POWER TO SAVE YOU

OPEN YOUR EYES
AND
ASK
TO
SEE


UNTIL THEN . . .
