Godly Men, Righteous Women
Godly Men and Righteous Women
They’re never seems to be enough,
Of Godly men and righteous women.
But I have seen a vision of a time soon to come
Where hand in hand they rise up—
And boldly stand for the name of Christ.
Godly Men and Righteous Women
Leaving behind the old life, and embracing the new—
Light on display while running the race.
Room for improvement, but they always stands again
Even when they fall flat on their face.
Again and again the rise and continue to run.
Marked for change, a transition in progress
Running together, encouraging you.
When the chaos comes, and troubles swirl,
They cling a hold to Your name.
Not turning back, nor gathering dust—
They’re pressing on to the promises before them.
Finely attuned to Your desire and will,
Letting go of the swinging emotions they feel.
Their dreams left behind, some in shambles—
Yet they hope in visions and all of Your provisions.
Godly men and righteous women, how I long to run beside of them
One day may I be counted, and added onto them.
Keep running Godly Men and Righteous women!

I wrote this one day after school. The world seems to be running out of Godly people. In fact, David wrote this in Psalm 12. As I was reflecting on the school, this poem is more of a poem of encouragement for all my little brothers and sisters in Christ -- as well as my older siblings in the faith.
