A Message of Simplicity

A message of simplicity,

Lost in the trappings of the day;

People rushing to and fro,

But solutions easily escape.

And He says come…

Turn it over to Me…

I am the One who will set you free;

I am the One who suffered and died

For you

Upon that tree…

“Peace and prosperity,” the people cry,

Purity and holiness fade;

Chasing after foreign gods,

Without an ear to hear

Jesus say,

“Come!

Turn…

Turn it over to Me;

I am the One

Who can set you free…

I am the One who suffered and died

For you upon that tree…

Come!

Let Me set you free.

Follow Me,

And I will teach.

Come…

I will make you free…

Come, and be free, indeed.”

Deafened ears

Which cannot hear

Him speak;

Blinded eyes

Which cannot see

The way in which

He leads.

Lord,

Open the eyes,

Unplug the ears;

Meet them in their

Worldly fears.

Open their hearts,

And fill up their lives;

Free them from

Their worldly strife.

Come.

A.D.W.
