Could Be You

Away from home
And all alone
Lost
And at great cost



Full of distress
Life in a mess
Stressed
Couldn’t even rest

Bought Satan’s scheme
No one to redeem
Dead
No marker for my head

An absolute knave
In unknown grave
Interred
That’s what occurred

It was all gone
All night no dawn
Useless
Satan was ruthless

Away from home
And all alone
Lost
And at great cost

Circumstances stark
It was dark
Helpless
 Life in on me pressed
  
To whom to turn
In pain I squirmed
Doped
Through life I groped

Living yet dead
By Satan led
Undone
This was no fun
  
Not a friend or foe
All watched me go
Blindly
Inevitable destiny

A virtual recluse
They all refused
Laughter
At my disaster

Away from home
And all alone
Lost
And at great cost

Life was a living hell
My story I tell
Castigated
Lost and frustrated

Absolutely no aid
Against Satan’s raid
Continuous
Oh this was disastrous

When will it end?
I asked of a friend
Never
He indicated forever

Been there too, he said
Still seeing red
Trapped
Great too is my lack

Not just me in need
Consolation indeed
Company
In my futility

Away from home
Still all alone
Lost
And at great cost

Is there no buyer?
Is there no redeemer?
Auctioned
Who’s the highest bidder?

Lost and believed stolen
Enslaved by Satan
Perishing
Beaten and suffering

A relentless master
A shrewd disguiser
Deceiver
World’s greatest liar

Fooled me he did
Put in the highest bid
Deception
Leading to destruction

Many ways to be happy
Clever and wealthy
Convincing
That old fox so enticing

Trapped me for sure
With troubles galore
Condemned
I was so overwhelmed

Away from home
Yes all alone
Lost
And at great cost

I was but one sheep
Of a hundred complete
Wandering
From the shepherd’s calling

Ninety-nine were safe
In the shepherd’s embrace
Protected
While I felt rejected

It was Satan’s way
Rejected he’d say
Alluring
In his empowering

The battle raged on
Every night and beyond
Confused
Bemused and abused

This was the limit
Minute after minute
Searing
Someone heard me screaming

Away from home
Definitely all alone
Lost
And at great cost

I inclined my ear
What’s that I hear?
Calling
A voice calm and loving

Image result for images of lost and alone 

My name I heard
I was most assured
Endearing
A voice sweetly entreating

Seems he could not wait
In my dirty state
Love
Reached to me from above

It was unbelievable
So unnatural
Miraculous
It was the shepherd, Jesus

Encircled in his arm
Now free from all harm
Redeemed
In excitement I screamed

Heaven’s now my home
With Jesus I’m not alone
Found
Blessings continually abound

On my way home
Now never alone
Redeemed
Freed from Satan’s scheme
