~ The Seeker ~ Along the shores of eternity He plods the trodden path Looking for peace and solace There's none to be had The waters of the eons Are too deep for him he can not enter in His is the ways of the world Temptations abound He sins He knows he's out of the will of God Tears flow behind the smile He knows the day is near When he'll be cast into exile He walked away from the cross of Jesus He walked away from His love He walked away from all he holds dear... His treasures stored above The demons inside are legion Too many to behold He took his eyes off Jesus They've kept him from the fold The family of God is waiting To usher him back in But the obsessions too great ...for sin He weeps He hears the call He knows his destiny He knows the Way He knows the Truth He knows how to be free But he chooses the shores of eternity He chooses the trodden path Hoping to be forgiven In the aftermath The cleansing waters of the eons Can wash away his pain Jesus awaits with arms outstretched To receive him once again Full of compassion Ready to forgive Ready with love....... Jesus ....awaits Mary Silva I wrote this for a man online who was seeking but yet not really finding...I still pray for him.
