Power Out

Baptized in shadow.
Surrounded by black.
Where has the light gone?
Where's the warm yellow glow?

Stumble.
Flailing for a flashlight.
Where is the light?
Where is the energy?

Snatch up the matches.
Ignite dusty candles.
What's happened to the power?
Where's the electricity?

Sometimes I wonder
if we could ever learn
to live again without it.
We take it for granted.
But if it were gone for good,
life would change.
Do you think that
perhaps we should
be careful with what we have?

The love of God.
A gift to the people.
Why would He give it to us?
Why should He care?

A life.
The Life that changed the world.
Why did God send him?
Why did he care?

I should be dead.
But I stand living and alive.
Why am I still here?
Why does He care?

Sometimes I wonder
will we ever learn?
We go through life
and we take God for granted.
But if He didn't love,
none of us would be here.
Do you think that
perhaps we should
be careful with what we have?

Do you think that
perhaps we should
accept His love before it's too late?
