Rest and you shall be saved,
In quietness and trust;
No longer be enslaved,
By temptation of lust.
But you were unwilling,
And decided to flee;
From the Lord instilling,
Salvation to be free.
You flee upon a horse,
Therefore, shall flee away;
Immoral ways of course,
Continuing to stray.
Riding on a swift steed,
Pursuers shall be fast;
Spreading the wild seed,
A pleasurable blast.
But a thousand shall flee,
At the threat of just one;
Because you cannot see,
Of the things you have done.
Until like a flagstaff,
Upon the mountain top;
And causing you to laugh,
As a signal to stop.
Therefore, will the Lord wait,
To be gracious to you;
Mercy to compensate,
As to discontinue.
For the Lord is the God,
Of justice and the Law;
Knowing that you are flawed,
Will He forgive your flaw.
And you shall weep no more,
As soon as you confess;
Your sickness He will cure,
And is willing to bless.
Your eyes will see your Teacher,
Your ears shall hear His Word;
You are a beseecher,
Studying what is heard.
