Struggling at the Gate

I see you struggling
at the gate
with the roar of lions
behind you

You can barely hear
the Lord calling you in

I see the beasts
tearing at your flesh
while you stumble and fall
Down on your kness
you beg and plead
I hear you cry out
Where is the strength
to be free!

I see a hint of knowing
in your eyes
a trace of believing
in your heart
I see you have the will
to stand and walk
into the light of day
I see your reward
shining bright like a star
running through your soul

I see you believe
believe!
believe!

joseph,
Wow, I like this. Powerful and thought provoking. There are many struggling at the gate not knowing where to go or what to do. Jesus is there with outstretched hands just ....waiting. Awesome talent you have, joseph. Love this!

Many blessings,
~Linda
