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 .
