Further For The Father

Hid deep within the Christian heart, within the Christian mind,
God's Holy Spirit must impart some treasure Man can find...
Else all that's left is sentiment, the dreams of what should be,
Like Christ, to be the sinners' friend, takes more sincerity...

The essence of the life divine, the spark of life in store,
The radiance of God's design that shakes us to the core,
The basic right that each would seek, that second chance He shares,
The human right to be unique, yet faithful in our prayers...

Consider all that life allows, the good and bad as well,
Yet most of all the holy vows that rescued us from Hell...
If not for these, salvation's just another game or sport,
Yet God's the Father we can trust, if we do what we ought...

If not, what then? Just discipline, delays on lower paths,
The higher paths so rarely seen and meagre epitaphs...
Go further with the Father, friend, go further with God's Son,
Go further, even to life's end... There's so much to be done...

The starving and the lonely wait, the cowards filled with tears,
The foolish ones who hesitate with nothing done for years...
The wonderful, the beautiful, the rich and famous, too,
The petty and the pitiful are sinners through and through...

If only Christ lived in us here, while we on Earth remain,
God's light would shine so crystal clear, His one eternal flame.
Go further for the Father, please, go further, faithful, pure...
They say God's wonders never cease, so let's go further more...
