I will not pander to the pack
Join the numbers in attack
I will not quench the smoking flax
Or surrender, become lax.
We choose our doctrines to our taste,
And even scripture may be laced
with preference, and deception bent
perverting Divine intent.
Oh, link me to eternity
my disillusioned soul to loose
Welcome, Truth, and set me free
and fasten wings upon my shoes.
Some truths must be found alone,
then distilled by silvery fire.
I bend my reason and my strength
To all that's heavenly, aspire.
In Christian love,
Patty
