She stands on the corner of the block Nobody taking heed to her pleading cries "Won’t somebody please feed my baby?" she laments As she chases off the bloodthirsty, swarming flies. People pass on by, not even giving her a glance Instead they look upon her with contemptful disdain Not remembering the simple tale of the Good Samaritan But leaving her and the child in their suffering and pain.
He walks into the liquor store to get his forty His friend goes to the server for another blunt Not realizing the painful, shocking truth of it That all they’re experiencing is a false, spiritual front. It doesn’t really occur to them that they are injuring themselves What they are committing doesn’t take them from the fray Only through raw prayer can they actually see the truth That the unconditional love of Jesus can take them all the way.
Who can truly reach inside of them when the pain is so deep? What will bring them out of their spiritual black hole? How can one find their true personal, loving selves? When they’ve all sold out to Satan for their souls? "Where can they go once they have hit true bottom, and Why did they sell out their souls to begin with?" you ask Only the unconditional love of Jesus Christ can solve the mystery Of locating their injured, lost souls and saving their spirits Making an impossible chore into a miraculous task.

Cool dude, great verses. We each take one step at a time, and this one of your personal expressions on the struggling soul, points to the answer. Amen, and a man in the body and spirit of Christ.
