THE STATE WE ARE IN

1. Eli

Eyes of soul
Gone dim

Way not
Seen

Ears of heart
Gone deaf

Word not
Heard

Too old and young
Too far gone

The wrong way
To turn back
Now

2. Esau

We trade
Our birthright

Salvation sold for
Satisfaction

Eternal for transient
Fulfillment

Cursing ourselves
Into unblessedness

For all time

We have no idea
Of the deception

Into which we have bought

3. Samuel

Shiloh’s silent
Sanctuary
Shelters

The sleeping
Boy

Tabula rasa
Unhabited

No stuck rut
To stifle
Dreams

Prophecy finds
Its way
With him

Double edged
Speak Lord

Listening

Alert the dawn
Draw back
The curtains

Light breaks
Through
