The Pearl I run in the Darkness Crying, panting In terror Until In the distance I see the Pearl Small at first, Yet shining brightly I run harder To escape the darkness So frightening Toward the Pearl And so, my body I hurl Faster, faster Must reach the light enveloping that large shining orb a sense of safety developing around that Pearl I run faster, harder Until I reach its Resting place Fall to my knees And in its white, translucent Skin I begin to see A reflection of my own face Until there seems to Appear a second trace Of another face Someone else beside me A hand falls upon my shoulder I tremble But then become bolder I turn around to look The one beside me smiles, Speaks, I am the one long ago you forsook But now with your return As is written in my Book All is forgiven My Blood bought you back And you have returned To Me, Your Savior And Your Pearl! Matthew 13: 45-46: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of Great Value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
