BelieversA Poem by NatalieWe are believers Tied up by chains We walk in inches We walk in faith. Pushing up against the wind Our feet sink into sand The clouds beat us with darkness, And their demonic chants, We stumble left and right But never do we fall The thunder yells out orders Piercing through our ears But we turn them off to voices Turn them on to whose glory is near. The lightening strikes our backs Leaving scars and blood that flows We are surrounded by evil and shame Still we lift our voice in praise. We are believers Carrying pain, Staring into the moonless night. The violent water shakes us And the salt it carries burns us But our faith is strong and brave And his name will rise with grace. I see the believers, They sway left and right I know the one they hold on to So close, so tight I see there is no day And no moon to light up their night I see the believers I see how much they fight. They will not be defeated They will not be destroyed Their enemies diminish Cut off by the throat Their chains will be broken They will not sink into the sand But walk above the water And praise the great I Am Their faith is strong and brave Their prayers are heard beyond They reach the Savior The risen one We know He’ll reach us We know he is strong We are believers Carrying pain But today we have seen that He took that away Today we have seen He’s redeeming grace © 2010 NatalieAuthor's Note
