Dying to live we take the first sip <br />Taste not sweet liberty <br />Freedom between the cup and lip <br />Revelation accepted and transformed <br />In rush of thoughts innocence died <br />Dreams inspired, not conformed <br />Hope from the dust and love required <br />Torn curtain will reveal <br />For eyes that wish to see <br />For none so blind there will be <br />When we decline to see <br />Blessed are the Peacemakers <br /> <br />Dying to live, eyes wide open <br />Child of woman, man of God <br />Time will never be the same <br />Incarnation, from love abounds <br />Through all the ages <br />Yet still astounds <br />Hope from ashes <br />In certainty lies confounds <br />Dream engaged, yet unsustained <br />Footsteps unheard softly tread <br />The journey home begun <br />Blessed are the Peacemakers <br /> <br />Dying to live, we drink the dregs <br />Thirst unquenched we stand <br />In rivers, dying of thirst <br />We excuse ourselves <br />Condemn the other <br />Father Forgive our <br />…Indifference <br />…Disobedience <br />…Conformity <br />Grant us a new heart <br />A new vision for… <br />Blessed are the Peacemakers<br /><br />Adrian Wait<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dying-to-live/
