Why say something so obvious
To those who seem to know?
Why would God take the time to share
These words with those below?
“If you keep on following
The path you currently walk
You’ll end up where you’re going.”
(And he continued to talk.)
“If you turn around
and go a better way
You’ll end up somewhere better.”
(Seems too obvious to say.)
Surely Ezekiel could think of
Something more profound to say
Than “If you don’t go anywhere,
Then you’ve chosen to stay.”
But it only seems too obvious
To those who look from outside
As if we aren’t the ones caught in
Lives we were trying to hide.
To those who felt God’s eyes on them
And recognized their place
The words weren’t just stating the obvious
They were offers of Love and Grace.
What we were up to yesterday
Is not more powerful than God,
He calls us to truly turn toward Him
Away from all facade.
