Naturally Sown, Spiritually Raised

-
EBENEZER
HEBREW FOR STONE OF HELP
A REJECTED SON
OUR FOUNDATION
SPRUNG FROM THE FATHER
INNOCENT, DESPISED
HUNG AS A CURSE
BROKEN IN GRIEF
RAISED UP ANEW

THE NATIONS AWAIT AN INHERITANCE
THE BODY'S CORRUPT SEED 
SPROUTS SILVER UNTO THE RISEN SUN
BIDDEN OF HIS WAY

SIN'S GUILT JARS US
A MAD AEON AGREES
RATS IN THE FRESH SEED
EARNED HAVOC
A SUGARY CANCER

EARTHBOUND ROT A COMPOST
SHOOTS SPRING UP 
AS PLANTED SEED OF HEAVEN
IS BROUGHT INTO BEING

IDEALS OUTLAST DUST
WHENEVER PLANTED BY LAW
THE DESCENDING TRUTH 
OF GOD'S PATTERNS
FRACTALS IN LUSH SYNCHRONY

STUCK, WE DREAM FOR A GUIDE
A DARE TO LIVE
IT IS MANY YEARS HERE
THAT ERASE WOE

KEY THREADS BY HALLOWED MEN
LEAD OLD ADAM
HINT IN SUBTLE ADAGE
EVE'S HOPING

A BRAIN TOLD HALOED VERSES
CAN LOVE TRUTH
EACH PEARL LIFTING OUR EYES
SO A DIVINE HOPE
TRIMS OUR JADED FLESH

A CLOSED HEART AN UNWATERED SEED
WORDS OF LIFE END DROUGHT
SPIRIT OF GOD REVIVES
A THIRSTY LAND
DUST WASHED AWAY
IN WATERS OF HEAVEN

THE OUTPOURING NEEDS REPENTANCE
TO INVITE THE SPIRIT
HIS HARVEST COMING
TO BRING US JOY
ABUNDANCE FROM CORRECTION
LIVES TRANSFIGURED
