Abandoned

Subject: Abandoned Sun Dec 04, 2011 9:06 pm

I had to abandon myself, to know what it feels to be wanted

and abandon this world, where every memory is haunted

Shake the darkness that enveloped my mind

and do away with rainy days that always kept me confined

I had to release myself, that I might be held

in the arms of my Creator, from whom I once rebelled

I left my Lord for the sins of worldly pleasures

before realizing the value of Heaven's treasures

I had to lose myself, so that I would be found

Lonely cries in the night are a deafening sound

The echo of the world as it tears me apart

stopped ringing to angel's singing as I gave dear God my heart

I had to empty myself, to truly be full

Destroy the cunning, stealthy wolf and dress myself in wool

One hundred sheep, but one strays and pays the cost

The Shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to find the one that is lost

I had to surrender myself, so I could finally be free

Free to be the me that God wants me to be

I await my final sleep, the comfort of the grave

when the world no longer makes me weep...and I'm no longer its slave

"The Shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to find the one that is lost"

And all the village rejoices at it's return!!

God Bless.

I love your style. It is unique, draws me in, and refuses to let me go.

Awesome as per usual. I'm a slave for the one who conquered the grave! Not a slave to this world.
