Note: This is actually a song in progress. It makes more sense as a song given the rhythms and stuff. But, as with most of my poetry, it doesn't have a totally consistent format, so... I don't know, maybe its better as just a poem. Still working on it, but having some trouble now. The first line I heard in my head for this was, 'I know the pain is strong, but it won't be long.' THAT was to music. So... we'll see what develops. At least it has the comfort embedded right in it, unlike most of my poetry which doesn't mention it much - if at all.
There are several Biblical passages that this song is derived from. I could list them all - and maybe will later. But the primary one that its based off of is: 2 Cor. 4:17
The psalmist
said that it's a passing thing
This fallen
world and all the tears it brings
It seems the
darkness never goes away
We dream
there just must be a better way
We see our
sufferings with each light of day
The strong
prevail, the innocent that pay
Are we doing
something wrong?
Or is this
the only song
Life plays?
We see a
world that's constantly besieged
By monsters
we ourselves released
We say our
prayers in the light
But fight
against them in the night
Lord help us
fight hypocrisy
For its You
that bleeds
Bring our
nation to its knees
So we can
truly see
CHORUS:
Its passing
shadows ore' the moon
A moment in
the night
But joy comes
in the morning
Though I know
the pain is strong
It won't be
long
There will
come a better day
Your glory
outshines the stars
This world
will pass away
But You'll
remain
We'll forget
the bitter stains
