Destiny

Shattered window,

Caved in doors,

Broken review mirror.

Flashing lights,

Screams of terror

Horror, dread

Fear of death,

Prayers sent.

Lord have mercy

Escaped my trembling lips.

Spinning vehicle,

Bodies in shock.

It was the devil.

Here to captivate our souls,

Cast down our light,

Grip our lives

And torment our minds,

Like a thief in the night.

O’ Death, but where is your sting.

When the Lord who sits high,

But looks low comes to our rescue.

O’ Death defeated once again aren’t you?

By the king of kings and Lord

who shall forever reign.

When you thought you had authority

and power, the Lord showed up with

glorious might.

You thought you defeated us

Better yet,

Revoke our very right to live.

But oh death, haven’t you learned,

Your very keys were rightfully taken

By the One on the throne.

With a sneer you showed yourself

And with our refuge, we show ourselves.

Broken, but on our way to healing.

Traumatized, barely holding on,

But fighting for our existence,

Weak, but strong in Him.

Hopeful that we will be put back together again.

So death…

O’ where is your sting?

You have been and always

Will be

Defeated over and over again.
