In Times Like These

Shaking off spiritual slumber, we rise to proclaim.

Posted on

In times like these, we question all heard and told.
Distrustful of all seen and heard, our hearts grow cold.
Spiritual darkness enslaving, we fail to immobilize.
Lost in perpetual blindness, we wander, estranged.
Alienated by disillusionment, we stand disengaged.
 
Losing hope in these times, weariness drains.
Apathy restraining, losing hope, nothing gains.
Meaningless existence taking root, it enslaves.
Enslaved by darkness, we look beyond ourselves.
Beyond all disturbing, glimmers of light are seen.Setting our hearts in these times, hope enlightens.
Glimmers of light appearing, we set our sights.
Hope settling, anchoring gives way to greater light.
Lethargy releasing, hope reviving, bondage loosens.
Hope becoming reality, awakening begins within.

Fresh vision replaced; renewed purpose brightens.
Renewed in vision, prophetic purposes enlighten.
Prophetic Scriptures strengthening, blinding loosens.
No longer immobilized, fervor renewed, faith inflames.
Shaking off spiritual slumber, we rise to proclaim.

Enriched in prophetic purposes, we rise to tell.
Immersed in Scripture, urgency takes over to dispel.
Rising together in unity, voices of dissension, we quell.
Urgent times driving, with clarion voices, we rise to sound.
Trumpeting stridently, Sounds reverberate to confound.

Dissent quieting, darkness dissipates rapidly,
With hope’s message, we trumpet gallantly.
Dissent fading, in unity, we proclaim furiously.
Drawn by the Spirit, many respond vehemently.
Given to His fullness, the harvest reaps abundantly.
