Born in Tribulation

~Born in Tribulation

Wherefore our people have been born in tribulation,

Our lives pass away as if it were a dream.

We have had to constantly fortify our defenses,

For our brethren who delight in wickedness seek our destruction.

We wander in a world full of evil and whoredoms, 

Devising ways in which to reclaim our brethren to the truth.

Truth is harder to distinguish in our time,

It has been twisted and perverted by the sly one. 

We fear for our children lest they too be led down dark paths.

They are beset daily with the entrapping's of a temporal world.

As parents we pray for strong backs and shoulders for them to bear the weight.

Try as we might to protect them from the twisted lies and truth that abound.

Many have fallen and the numbers continue to rise.

Wo be unto Israel the branch that has been grafted in begins to bear bad fruit.

As the words of our fathers ring in our ears we diligently dig and prune our vineyards.

The Master works beside us to reclaim that which is delightsome and good.

How great our joy as we begin to see the fruit of our labors.

We a lonesome and solemn people have kept the commandments of the Lord.

All that has been written and spoken of by the Prophets will be fulfilled,

The day speedily cometh when our labors will end and we shall be judged of our works.

The wicked will be astonished exceedingly as they fall to the earth. 

Every knee shall bend and every heart will know that Jesus is the Christ.

We have endured and have fought a good fight,

Truth will be known for there will be knowledge restored.

The time to reunite with loved ones will be joyous indeed.

For what was promised, will be given unto Abrahams’ seed.
