Hebrews 10:26-27 New English Translation (NET Bible)
26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, 27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that will consume God’s enemies.
Titus 3:7 New English Translation (NET Bible)
7 And so, since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life.”
Expectation where do you come from?
Where for goodness sake do you originate?
Why are you so different in one to another?
As you dominate some and others enslave?
“Be no respecters of persons”, written long ago
And now seems to have been so long forgotten
As the admired and leaders stepping on all toes
As direct behavior and will of the ill-begotten
Servant and slave searching for a master
“Give me security”, seems their lonely cry
From birth to death in hope to be faster
Than their peers within their fruitless lives
“Give me life and liberty”, whispers from history
Pointed out by futility in search of happiness
Good, bad and confusion are interwoven in a potpourri
That is now fed to all in some fateful faithlessness
Stuffed to the brim with nowhere to go
We crawl in a corner to analyze our blessings
If we close our eyes we will surely know
That whatever happens, is a gift of our guessing
We don’t need now to leave our hibernation
When we wake up it all will just get worse
Maybe after all in our field of frustration
We’ll reap what we sowed stuffed in a hearse
