True Reprieve

We've spent years defending our selfish views and postulations of right and wrong

Years hiding in our pride out of fear that we may be exposed

Years in abandonment

We've given everything, to become anything, except for who we are

Given our souls in hopes of acceptance

Given our faith in exchange for an empty reliance on man

We've cursed in the face of God

We've spit at the feet of the cross

We've found satisfaction and reprieve within our pride

A pride that hides us from the loving high of the Lords embrace

A pride that crushes and abandons those we hold near to our hearts

A pride that rules our faith

A pride that rules our walk

Our minds,

Our hearts,

Our souls,

We've spent years trying to restructure our lives with these imperfect hands

Years in the dark

Years in abandonment

"Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands.

Seek righteousness, seek humility;

Perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD's anger."

(Zephaniah 2:3)
