[hometext] => Also called Lament for the Lost Son... I'm sorry, God...
[bodytext] => We look past the glories You have made, Lean on answerless questions, Ask them to our grave. We believe in none but our own self, Put no faith in You. Search the World for answers Ignore what You say is true. We bleed and plead with each other, “Can you heal my soul?” While we look past Your word always saying That You will make us whole. And we turn and walk away Ignoring You when you say Fearing, needing, hoping, pleading- “Oh- Son come home…” Our ignorance is blinding and blissful, We feel on our own. But deep inside us our hearts beg us to return home. You sent Your own child to die for us Yet we laugh and mock the tale Though we search for glory and redemption, Without You, all attempts are failed. So we cry and die with each other, We put You off too late. Because we want our wild times and fantasies Heav’n’s not in our Fate. We ignore that tug at our heartstrings Beg to be left alone Smile our fake smiles of feigned joy Choose Hell over home. ‘Cause we turned and walked away We ignore You when You say Fearing, needing, hoping, pleading, “Oh- Son come home…” Oh, Son come home! My Son, come home! I love you… But we turn and walk away Ignore You when You say Fearing, needing, hoping, pleading, Wanting, waiting, hoping, praying, You’re loving, caring, wonderful, awesome God We’re meek and lowly unworthy men, Oh God But still You want and wait for us Do we deserve You? Do we deserve You? ‘Cause we turn and walk away Ignore you when you say Fearing, needing, hoping, pleading, “Oh- Son come home…” [comments] => 2 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 11 [informant] => mnk_1112 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )
