No Hidden Secrets

Mark 4:21-24

Is a candle brought to be put under a bed?
Rather than put on a candlestick instead?
For there is nothing hid not as manifested,
Neither being kept a secret as invested;
If anyone who has ears let him now hear,
Take heed to warning as you need to fear;
No matter how you measure, you will too,
To those that hear, more to be given you;
There are no secrets that you can hide,
No matter how deep they may be inside;
Lurking in the shadows in heart and mind,
Skeletons in a closet past clearly defined;
God knows what you have done and seen,
And merely asks that you just come clean;
Confess your sins filled of guilt and shame,
So God will light a candle of eternal flame;
The weight on your shoulders lifted away,
Melting the clouds into a bright sunny day;
Gaining more favor in giving Him pleasure,
God will bless you in giving more treasure.
