Paradise Cafe Discussions - A Place For Bible Research And Christian Encouragement

This is a song I wrote this past year. Don't spread it around, cuz I plan to record it.

Captive Audience

The suits and dresses sitting still
Paying heed to divine will
Raised high are hands of every age
Repeating words on printed page

Do you believe what you believe?
Don't put faith in what you see
On land in sky or under sea
Do you know where your faith truly lies?
Is it here or beyond the skies?
Do you see your Savior in their eyes?

Does unity make everyone the same
Or bring the various to one game?
How can you learn how to behave
When your Master is the slave?

Do you believe what you believe?
Don't put faith in what you see
On land in sky or under sea
Treating two as the same thing
Messenger and king
Well, what credentials do they bring?

Tell me, where is the shame
Taking on their Master's name
Measuring success by quantity
Forgetting the law was nailed to a tree?

Do you believe what you believe?
What are you trying to achieve?
You're not going if you leave
Look back at the days of when
Are you where you thought you would have been?
You're at a fork in the road again
Reread the message that they send
Son of Man, or sons of men?

Donbobo, that is good, that is very good.

It elicited all the old sounds, places, people and emotions.

It makes me sad, which shows you crafted it well.

Thank you Donbodo,

Maria

Thanks, Maria!

I am, a new mushroom growing in the damp forest,
under a tall tree.
I poke my head up from under the moist leaves.
I taste the sunshine and the air.
I am content to stay where I am,
until I try up.
Before that, I will put forth many seeds. 03/3/09
