Jesus Fire

Through the bedroom window

Out into the birth of early morning

The world has come to an abrupt end

But we all refuse to notice,

keep giving out advice

keep giving into vices

Don’t listen to the voices singing in the misty dewdrop shower

You can look into their eyes, but never let them touch you

As every candle dies, before the flames can hurt you

But we all refuse to believe

keep talking to the strangers

keep chasing moonlight angels

What we say never ever dies

Massaging the wings of spirits

Those who look after those who look after us

I buried the baby rabbit

Looking at me with failing eyes and silent ears

“Can you hear their hearts beat?”

He doesn’t know how or why

Doesn’t think too much about the big things

Small things mean everything

Yet, everything is so very small

But we all refuse to intervene

keep looking for something to mean something

keep searching for someone to lean on someone

keep dealing with the pain of every day

keep praying for a sign, a reason, a way

Miracles abound, around me, astounding

I know Jesus carries me, protects me

His flaming sword makes a circle of fire around me

reflecting in my eyes

Blessings that would take 7 lifetimes to give thanks for

And all for me, a simple man, a stray

Far from a saint, I need constant forgiveness

A sinner with dirty hands and tears in his eyes.

Thank you, God, for my life and all who are in my life

I will live for you, I will work for you

I would burn for you, I would die for you

I will live for you, I will live for you, I will live for you!
