Neglected Promises
So great and many promises God has for us today
To comfort guide and strengthen us along the narrow Way
Are left unclaimed forsaken by the ones who need them most
The ones who plan to someday be the pure and chosen host
Who claimed the name of Jesus from the cradle to the grave
But never really knew God's love and mighty power to save
The way they could have known it as was given them to do
Abundantly provided in the Truth He brought them to
For God's most interactive with the ones who are His own
Providing intersession from His great and mighty throne
That knows no limitation for the ones He knows as His
Who choose to emulate Him in a troubled time like this
That's here to make us ready for the time that's soon to come
When all the world will wonder where these troubles have come from
Assuming incorrectly those who love Him most are wrong
Because they do not follow in the foot steps of the throng
Who've failed to stop and listen with a most attentive ear
To all of God's instruction that He's made for us most clear
Recited in the Word of God from Law to Prophesy
Where every page contains the Truth He wills for us to see
But also holds the promise for the ones who will be tried
The ones who like their Saviour love the Truth for which He died
And know that God is able to deliver them as well
If that's what's most effective in the story they must tell
Of Him Who knows the limits of God's patience with all men
And soon will bring an end to all who choose to hold to sin
Who'd rather have the glory and the honor of the world
Than face by grace the tempest that upon them will be hurled
By those whom they once trusted in their Christian family
But when in trial are tested will decide to take the knee
Neglecting their allegiance to the mighty Son of God
To walk the path that leads to death that other sinners trod
Because they failed to capture in their minds what they might see
That was for them available blessed by divinity
If only they had spent the time with God in scriptures there
Where God was waiting just for them to seek His will in prayer
Daniel 12:1-3; Matthew 7:21-23; Hebrews 6:4-6
