One More Lost Soul

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The balance seems to have been lost,

The world is far astray.

We ought not have to learn once more

What we learned yesterday.

 

Yet, here we are, back in that rut,

Proclaiming yet again

That we will walk, not in The Word,

But in the will of man.

 

We call His name, but without faith

Our words are meaningless,

And all the pleasures that we seek

Won’t fill our emptiness.

 

We set our eyes upon the world,

Then fall into its snare.

Insisting that we’re in command,

Always leads to despair.

 

For He who formed the universe

Is still in full control,

And, until we understand that,

We’re just one more lost soul.

 

Mark 7:6-8

He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:

“‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.” You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.”
