Forsaken

 

With tears of soul my heart doth pen

the lines within this text

of thoughts and ways abandoned God

eternal judge we've vexed

“Pon question what doth be the times

and how they came to be

What moment rose when we thought best

forsaking ways of thee

No longer God we make the rules

our thoughts higher than thou

now disregard total neglect

to truth thou hast avowed

And rid of law that thou didst give

and dare not to abide

our forced precepts for all's consent

ours best for every life

And wrapped in love we have defined

if disagree the fool

bring not your Bible counter ways

lest cancel thee from rule

Worse do we grow away from truth

these ways of great contrar'

death be to those rightly opposed

we'll silence them we swear

And label us and make ashamed

this dead God we did trust

dare not we force His ways on you

for our ways do we thrust

Ours be the greater power wave

advanced for all each day

and thus forget we shall account

that post demise shall pay

For line on line and verse on verse

shall each word give account

be as we will the rot fulfilled

warning for all who doubt

There is a God who gave His Son

Jesus to set us free

died He for we as off we be

forgives when we believe

And note as will we have been told

our ways rapid decline

and worse on worse shall bring us down

when we not still alive

Hear this heart's plea let's think again

repent toward God reject

or stand alone before His throne

He knew you not expect

And even now as sonnet ends

the tears flow down my face

for we oh Lord forsook thy ways

raised our thrones in thy place
