TRIUMPH

O LORD, The hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
                                                                                        --Jeremiah 17:13

Behold, a dire delusion:
People trapped in a mirror they dub "my phone"
Who in pride concede to folly,
And sink in illusions, alone.

For those caught away in confusion 

For those who in anguish cry
Yet a chance to return-- God's mercy to prove--
He can save them from their lies.

And those who love truth, await watching--
To glimpse the Master-- so holy and high--
To join him in glory, singing,
Behold: our redemption draweth nigh.

The shadow deepens but for a moment--

Soon our King shall be proclaimed
And we will kiss the feet of the one who bled

And praise his holy name.

So can that old serpent quell our praises?

Can shadows corrode our love?

Nay, for the Lord Jesus ascended to glory

And our life is hid in the Light, above.

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
                                                                                              --Revelation 7: 17
