In the Middle
You came and put
Your throne
In the middle of my life
Inside the darkness, pain
& chaos, sorrow and the strife
Planted Yourself
Pushing, moving aside
All people, places, &
Things, showing how
To reject my old enemy’s lies
Circumstances are fluid
Ever changing in a world
So sadly lost
Cling to Christ, our Lord
He alone did pay the cost
Of your freedom from
Insanities of this world
Its cruelty, lies and sin
Another place awaits
A forever home you will win
In a book so rich in truth
A teacher once said
To live as foreigners, aliens
Never make a forever bed
On this face of this
Dissolving earth
God alone is your
True home
Mother, Father
Closer than a sister
Or any brother
All here is temporary
Pain is only for today
Cling to God
In your heart His love
Is meant to always
& eternally stay
With a roar & in great heat
Old ways, this earth
Will vanish, disappear
Making His forever love
Always & ever more clear
All new life,
Immortal, glorious,
Will spring forth
Resplendent on a
Newly recreated earth
Shining forth into an eternal,
Complete & total new rebirth!
