THE FUGITIVE


****************

I recall a program- a long time ago 
Of a man - who had  nowhere to run .
Who could never be free - yet he wasn't in jail
But was trapped - every way that he turned .

He was free - but not free - If you grasp what I mean ?
By the confines of an invisible wall .
But - when he tried to get back - to where he called home 
He found - he was captive - and not free at all.

Does that sound like the plight of the whole Human Race
From birth - ' til our last dying breath .
That we seek for a home - for our spirit to rest 
But - are trapped - in this world we call - Earth ?

Whatever we do - to find our way ' home '
Only leads us to deeper despair .
And we look into all sorts of Mystical ways 
Hoping - this is the way to ..'.Somewhere '

Somewhere for our body to find peace and calm 
As our mind and our bones - start to age .
Yet - all the time knowing that time passes on 
And we're heading towards the last page .

The page - where the bell tolls - for the wearers of black
To make the slow march - in our wake .
As with muted voices - and solemn repose .
They  can share out our goods - their's to take .

But I've painted a picture - full of sadness and gloom 
 A life - filled with no hope - and despair .
With no way of escape - from the chains of this world 
As if this is the end - and no more .

But - unlike the Fugitive - who finds no escape 
I am happy to share - the Good News -
That there is a Door - through which we can go .
And - No-one - our way can refuse .

And HIS Name is JESUS - whose Way is not closed -
On All who will call on HIS Name .
And the moment we do - and ask HIM to come in .
HE 'll throw wide the Door - to HIS Home 

And then - all of Heaven will give a great shout -
As with joy they will welcome us in .
And the glorious colours - will shine all around 
And the Heavenly Angels will sing .

Glory - Hallelujah - to the LAMB who was slain -
Who broke every fetter and chain .
Who by HIS power  has shattered - the strongholds of Death 
And led us safely - forever - with HIM .

So today - if you're lost in the maze of this world 
And don' t know the way to get ..' Home '
Just call on the SAVIOUR - and ask for HIS help
HE'll save You - and welcome You in .

*****************************************************

GOD BLESS YOU AGAIN TODAY - AND MAY THIS 
BE A DAY WHEN YOU ENTER INTO HIS FAMILY 
AND HOME .

With love from S.C.Mitchell.
