Faith by Ruth Thompson

(I have this picture framed in my office.)
 

The Quest

 Your black tower calls in my brightest hour
Pleading out to keep my OWN power
Whispering come back, by illusionary love be subdued
But I know in that place I will not be renewed

So I raise my shield and stand in what's real
Protecting myself from all that you feel
Raw emotion that churns your mind like a wheel
As it plots how to keep my heart it would steal

I too there wept, at the glory of He,
And sang with the angels to set Him free,
As hung He there dying on that cross,
For the sins of the world, as we cried for our loss

I have kept slaves in bondage, as Queen of the Nile
Was there at the start, to see Adam smile
Tasted the fruit that the serpent did offer
And carried the blame, for why all men suffer

Yes my love, the Quest is eternal,
And to it we're bound, the urge calls supernal
The moment is now, there is no other
My dear sweet man, my 'once-upon-a-time' lover,

Indeed God is all, oh yes God is One
Yet in so many sights, He still seems undone
So how can I rest, go off to star in some play
When so many sisters and brothers die on this day

How can I lay my sword on the ground
Walk away from the fight, when in my heart it's been found
The cause that rings true, and in my soul cries
The one that brings tears of joy to my eyes

The time is now, the time for might
To stand up and shout, this is what's right
To love one another, not to each make our own mark
For that path is separate, alone in the dark

It is in truth
This song I must follow
My dear sweet man, my 'once-upon-a-time' lover,
For all else is hollow
