"PERCHED UPON A WIRE"
           I know the simplicity you fail to see;
            Can it be a faithless blindness,
            Or do you choose to ignore what can be?

            I sense the dragons
            That rage deep within your breast;
            Helplessly I sit and watch
            As you battle fearful longing and anger at it's crest.

            Swift of wing
            I descend to enfold you with truth and light
            Let loose the blackened heart
            That entraps your will to fight

            The way is simple, say I
            What you fail to see is a path well worn;
            A million miles stretched out
            Waiting for you to walk upon it in any way or form

            There is darkness on the margins
            You must stay steady to course and route;
            Harm will only come to you
            Should you wander in and out

            Step lightkly, do go
            For hesitation fuels flame and fire
            Hurry on your way
            The heat upon the path is evidence of Satan's ire

            Away from darkness
            Yours steps grow swift and strong
            The more upon the path you travel
            The more you know for Whom you long

            As home you come near to be
            Simply ask His forgiveness of your sin
            His kingdom stands before you
            Father, Son and Holy Ghost await to bring you in

            I know not why that He chose I
            To bring the faith that rescues souls from fire
            I only know what I can see
            While I'm perched upon a wire.
