To stand at death's door...
Some stand within death's doorway and, they live to serve the night.
this foolishness spells peril as they're dancing in sin's light.
They walk with man's destructive will not knowing whom they stalk;
they laugh and mock creation's way, against God's goodness balk.
Why men resist the wisdom's truth and look the other way?
When hunting through Earth's treasures they choose night not the day.
I'm just a face that mock that the Lord, yes, I support the throng;
I watch as Jesus' eyes meet mine, I am His heart and song.
He hangs upon that holy cross I hear His voice cry out.
Forgive them Lord they do not know though in their angst they shout.
Yet God, for love, became a man and as a babe was born;
He chose to walk the dust below, Himself, He wore sin's storm.
For Jesus stood within sin's gap, forgave the mocking throng;
for all of us, His fiendish foe, He sung redemption's song.
And just in time I saw myself, I wore this filthy shroud,
"Please save me Lord," (heard my voice) among this angry crowd.

Author Notes
Mark 15:27-32
And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, ! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross! So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, He saved others; he cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe. Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.
Thanks for reading, R.Owen
