There is a day coming
That is what we've heard
No...the day is here now
Where you must heed the words
For this is the day
Of the Great Divide
{Where some will}
be afraid and hide:
Unsure and rocky is the trail
They take with no clear path in view
They search to bring others with them
Because they're lost, and lonely too.
Happiness and Confidence
is the promise of this side
But because it isn't real,
it only lasts a little while.
But they still laugh and poke fun
At those holding to the rod
They say, "Look at those silly folks,
Who say that there's a God"
But when they close their eyes at night
It's fear that's in their souls
And though they say they're fine
They are yearning to be whole
So they seek the things of this world
Hoping to fill the void
And they scoff at those who know they're loved
And relationships are destroyed
Some walk over to The Fence of Indecision
And they stay there for a time
Not knowing their decision is made
Unless they move fully to the side of Christ
They fear what those wanderers will say
if they take a leap of faith
That fear is overwhelming--
If only they would pray.
Because little do they know
it is not really a leap at all
If they would choose the Savior
They would be on a foundation that will never fall.
{Where some will} follow the prophet in stride
They will have watered their seeds of faith and will know of the Tree of Life
They will have their hands tight on the rod-Even whilst they experience trials and strife
They will have left that Fence, a long time ago---That fence called Indecision
With Christ they are yolked forever as they work to conquer the battle within.
They know His side is safest, His foundation is sure
With His help, their hearts and hands will have become clean and pure
Distraction- no, they stay their course as they seek for those in need
they want (because they know), for all to eat the fruit of the tree
For the fruit is God's love and the utmost form of divine
and even when the battle rages---for this fruit they will still climb
For His love for us all is endless, infinite, and true
And the atonement is the reason for doing all that they do
These are they that today choose to not let their minds float away
But instead they focus on the Lord and on His pathway
They worry not what others think and continue to press on
For they know whose side their fighting for and they'll fight 'till the battles won.
Those whose hands are securely locked in place
Following the Savior---they will continue to keep their pace
And they'll call to their friends and loved ones on the Fence or far away
And even if they're laughed at--you will still hear them say,
"Please come, our Savior Jesus Christ loves you so
We want you to be with us, we do not want you to let go,
The power lies within you to choose the path that you will choose
But the truth is truth and if you're not with Christ, then this battle you will lose."
These one's hearts will break, as they watch loved ones walk away
But Jesus Christ will heal them in the most amazing ways.
So with His strength they'll carry on, knowing they're not alone
And knowing, as all children want to know, that they are safely headed home.
