Poetry: Longing

YOU ARE LEAVING (by: Perlene Saddler)

You have changed
you have gone to a
Place where many have dread
You have captured the lies
On top a table the devil has spread.

Your soul lays in a bed of deception
Wake up now! you may be at the edge
Of a place where many have been lead

Soul-mate you are going, going
To the dead sea of life instead
God's hands are stretched out
Calling you, beckoning you to release
Your faith and trust in his deliverance
From the empty grave of this sinful world

Cry, sigh, groan, moan, Get up!
Don't die, cause we all need you
Now to hold us up like you use to
When the winds blew and the waves
rolled in from the rough, rough sea
and your spirit calms our fears and dread
Come back! come back! I said
