I Am Deeply Grieved 1840 painting by Potok Gorski I Am Deeply Grieved I am angry that My children continue to turn away from ME That they chase after idols instead of looking to Me The One that gives them their next breath and the power to be... All that they will ever need can be found in Me. I will not stay My Hand for long for the wickedness abounds In even those that profess to know Me their sinful heart knows no bounds. Do not get caught up in things that perish that will dissolve before your eyes When I do return for you make sure you have been wise. I've given you the blueprint and all that you will ever need To live a life of victory, have faith like unto that mustard seed. Again I will not tarry long for at times I must turn away To keep My Hand from smiting man their retribution to delay. So, My child, heed the warning for I am deeply grieved About My precious children and what they have believed I Am, God their maker and of all that is, How hard is that to understand it does not take a whiz. Get on your knees, repent today so that My Hand be stayed For I dearly love My children and want only to be obeyed! c. 2005 Karen Langford Brown Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the LORD. Lamentations 3:40 NIV I will put my laws in their minds so they will understand them, and I will write them on their hearts so they will obey them...
