Atonement

Atonement

A Poem by Elvis Gilley
"

An journey into enlightenment

"

A desolate being fights weakness, soon he will destroy his spirit man

Though conflicts arise he has no strength upon which to stand

 

Why must he wrestle with almighty God?

Why in the valley of tribulation must he trod?

 

Hostility and panic engulf him in this hour of need

For he boast of self, instead of falling upon his knees

 

God is loving, powerful yet peculiar to us as well

His devotion is sincere more than mortal mouths can tell
