FIRE IN THE NIGHT

The sun’s brightness that reveals god’s goodness 
Was taken away from the eyes of men
And darkness beyond the night swallowed the earth.

The wickedness of men, like a towering smoke
Continue to rise in the nostrils of The Almighty God
Causing his patience, mercy, and grace 
To bow to His eternal judgement.

Many of his chosen servants have corrupted themselves 
Gone in the way of unrighteousness, forgetting the Lord
And leading his sheep down a steep path 
Which leads to suffering, death, and destruction.

Buildings still bared his name, but the light of the house
Has been snuffed out a long time ago
However, the noise of prayers, praise, and worship
Continues to pollute the air with a false sense of security.

But God has a faithful few men and women
A remnant and people  with the spirit of god
Walking according to his word 
And obedient to his voice.

Therefore, God has delayed his eternal judgment 
For a short time 
While his faithful saints like the fire in the night
intercede for a world that has forgotten The Lord.
