Souls | EDDAZ

Tears fall, my heart ablaze,
The war rages on, day after day.
As humanity turns on itself,
The light is fading in our souls

The devil laughs, his grip grows tight,
Rejoicing in mankind’s fall.
Compassion dim and frail,
Where kindness seems to fail.

How has man allowed darkness to reign?
Why do we heed its call?
Each choice, each right, an excuse to be cruel,
Hearts are growing cold, forsaking the rule.

I weep, my heart cries out in pain,
For mankind to let the light shine in,
To open doors for heaven’s reign,
And let true peace begin.

Stop the darkness in your heart,
Be still and end the killings,
Let love and mercy lead the way,
And step into the light.

I remember when I was young and thought all sorts of religions and belief systems would ultimately lead us to God. Listening to a morning devotion through an application on my phone called “Glorify” reminded me of this bias in the world.

In the Bible, Jesus unequivocally declares, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). His life, death, and resurrection are understood to be the ultimate revelation of God’s love and grace. Faith in Jesus is the only means of reconciliation with God and eternal life.

In the vast expanse where shadows roam,
A voice echoes, clear as a bell’s tone.
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” it cries,
Guiding souls through darkness to brighter skies.

Through valleys deep and mountains high,
This truth endures.
With unwavering faith, we take each step,
In His love and mercy, we find our depth.

Let his guiding light make you whole.
For in Him alone, true freedom lies,
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” He cries.
