ANOTHER CONVERSATION

WHY ONLY ONE

     IN ALL THE LAND,

I THOUGHT, AS I TRIED TO SEE.

     YET, IF I HEAR

WHAT THE PROPHET SAID,

     THAT WIDOW CAN BE ME!

IS THAT WHAT HE MEANT

     WHEN HE SAID TO SOME,

THIS CAN BE ELIJAH

     WHO WAS TO COME.

TO TURN YOUR HEARTS BACK

     AGAIN UNTO ME,

TO KNOW THAT YOU WON’T

     GO HUNGRY.

SUCH A FOREIGN WAY,

     MY MIND STARTS TO YELL.

THIS MUST BE A MESSAGE

     STRAIGHT FROM HELL.

THEN, I REMEMBER

     THAT HE SAID,

WOULD I LET MY CHILD

     GO WITHOUT BREAD?

TWO EYES AGAIN;

     THEY BOTH CAN SEE.

MY LORD SAYS,                               

     LOOK THROUGH THE GLASS        

             AT ME.                                                                  

 DON’T RESURRECT  THAT ONE

     FROM THE DEAD.

WE SETTLED THIS ONCE;

     WILL YOU BE LED

WITH ME TO A PLACE

     THAT I HAVE PREPARED

OR WORK FOR WHAT’S YOURS,

     BECAUSE YOU ARE SCARED

THAT MY WORD THAT I’VE GIVEN

     WON’T PASS THE TEST,

SO YOU WORK, JUST IN CASE,

     BUT IT GIVES YOU NO REST.

YOUR LABOR IS GOOD

     IF IT’S WRESTLING TO ENTER

THE PLACE OF MY REST,

     WHERE I’M IN THE CENTER.

NOW, DON’T YOU DARE SETTLE

     FOR ANYTHING LESS

THAN THIS PERFECT WAY

     THAT I’VE ALREADY BLESSED!

SO, LOGIC BE DAMNED!

     IT’S TIME TO STAY DEAD;      

TO RUN FREE AND ALIVE                     

     IN WHAT FATHER HAS SAID.
