Mysteries dancing to and from <br />With shadows of the past <br />Vague to the mind breath’s final flow <br />When life’s last die is cast <br /> <br />Before we cross the great divide <br />And be exposed to light <br />We need The Lamb who came and died <br />We need to rise and fight <br /> <br />Its time to query truth and lies <br />Question our chosen ways <br />Remove the blindfolds from our eyes <br />And penetrate the haze <br /> <br />We need to free our lives of weed <br />Take hold of Jesus’ hand <br />Allow Him plant His living Seed <br />Within our barren land <br /> <br />Its time to venture from the deep <br />Depart from self made graves <br />By faith to take life’s greatest leap <br />And walk upon the waves <br /> <br />Its time to hope its time to dare <br />Believe the facts we’ve heard <br />Reach out and take what God would share <br />According to His word <br /> <br />Its time to rise and God obey <br />Our fellow man to love <br />Casting aside what fools may say <br />For wisdom from above <br /> <br />Regardless now what life may bring <br />Though fierce be the foe <br />Let’s raise the song Christ gives to sing <br />When in His name we go<br /><br />Michael P.
