"Wanted"

During this past week, the word "wanted" just popped into my head and this new poem started to form. It's not what I wanted it to be, but it's what I've written. It's about being on the run from Satan, and the world, and putting our trust in the Lord to protect us.

Wanted

I'm walking, down-town,

And I see this sign.

It seems I'm wanted,

'Cause I didn't tow the line.

See, I wanted to be different.

God showed me the way.

I kind of forgot (but He did tell me),

That I would have to pay.

Now I see I must pay,

But why such a high price?

I never fully realized,

It cost so much to follow Christ.

I've been forsaken by all but God.

There's no-one but Him to turn to.

Everyone else has shut their doors,

Even those I thought I knew.

I could give in, but it'd cost me my new life,

For so says yonder sign,

Or, I could fight on and trust in God,

That He'll make everything fine.

I can run from anyone, except for God,

So I'll take option B.

It's a frightening thought (now that I think about it),

That the whole world, plust the Devil, is after me.

I'll rest in the knowledge that God will hide me.

By faith, I know He can.

He'll keep me safe and He'll provide all my needs,

As I live like a wanted man.
