Asking

Healing the blind man - Carl Bloch


There is work that must be done,

now,

while there is still light.

Darkness will come soon.

It will bear the might

of an empire

and wear the cloak of rejection,

on those chosen

to bring forth the light.


He is the world's light.

He will walk through

the dark valley

and rise

on the third day.

The serpent will strike His heel,

His wrists,

His side.

But the Father's light is eternal.


Rise up,

those of you who shield yourselves

from the gaze of hate.

Salvation has come,

a bright star on a hill.

He calls out,

forgiving sinners

and promising eternity

to those who simply ask.
