The Cave, (sorry the formatting went screwy on me.)

In the distance

Just a day away

I see a light

To guide my way

It’s just a glimmer

Barley a glare

But it is freedom

That I will find there

Freedom from sin
falling into grace
freedom from pain
with love in its place

With darkness around me
people who cannot see
in every direction

They try being

Scattered as sheep

Who got lost trying to be free

Just take my hand

And walk with me,

Grab another’s

So that they will see,

The light I know

Is only a day away

We must stick together

Let none be lost on the way.

Through the cave

On toward the light

Tripping over rocks

And sliding on ice

over the ledges

Crawling through with all our might.

We hold on and wait

For those who are with us

No matter their state

Because all of us need each other

to win this fight

We all need each other

To reach this great and wonderful light.

So carry the broken,

And help those who are sick

Call out to the lost

Who have wondered off

Let us follow the path

Of the one who went before

It might be painful

It might not seem fair

But in the end

Let us all draw near.

Because in time it will be clear.

That we have obtained

The goal set before

By loving each other

And seeking the light

Together we will laugh

In such great delight

At the table of one

Who has shown us the path

And helped us on our way

Who gave us the strength

To make it this day.

He will heal our wounds and our scares

He will perfect all that went wrong.

He is the one, who will be strong,

As we fall down at his feet

From the dreary path

Of the cave so deep.

And wipe from our eyes

The dirt and the mud

The pain and the blood.

And together we all shall be

For the first time

Eternally free.
