life on the street
got a new taste last night
possibly my calling
life out on the street
no bed, all clothes dirty, no shower…
just me and whatever I could find
a life I’ve always thought of as horrible
i actually found appealing
running to and fro
sneeking around to see what could be found
borrowing this and that
to make my life better
you know this is the life Christ once lived
no real place to call His own
living at the mercy of the earth…
the mercy of those around
cleaning clothes however possible
borrowing a bed for the night then journeying on
i have to think…
for a night it was a simple plight
but a lifetime
of not only this but ridicle and pain
and for what…not of oneself but us
for me
so that i would have access to the key
to eternity
and life abundant and free
why would anyone give up eternity on the throne
for years here below like this
…but one answer…true love beyond any other
