Someone spoke in fervent heat
defiance that would not appease,
that you should die on your feet
and not live upon your knees.
Now, this does have great appeal
to adolescents everywhere,
who think the slogan is for real
for truly, they have not been there
to pay meet homage to the King,
to put off the masque of pride
and surrender everything,
with not a penny left to hide,
for only this way can you stand
to live or die at His right hand.
You're right, Andrew ... with age, life experience, and growth in our faith comes wisdom that we never even imagined when we were bopping around in those precarious teenaged years.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is a benefit to the aging process.
ReplyDeleteWisdom brings the revelation that there really isn't anywhere else to live other than on our knees before Him, Andrew.
