TIME TO RISE

by Bill Kochman

https://www.billkochman.com/Poetry

08-30-2014

For far too long you slept,
Sword and helmet laid rusted by your side,
Lost in the wicked world,
Under the Lord’s wings you failed to abide.

But now it’s time to rise,
Get that deceptive dust out of your eyes,
Stop believing Satan,
No more listening to his wicked lies.

Too much time has been lost,
There is a spiritual war to be won,
Don your sword and helmet,
Night has melted into a brand new dawn.
