Ujamaa Christian Poetry
BACKSLIDER
once redeemed and esteemed
to turn back to a dream
a nightmare it sure seems
behind bars heart screams
confined to the hole
with the enemy of your soul
misery 7 times fold
crying Lord where'd you go
when you left on your own
can't escape all your foes
you think the Lord doesn't know
don't forget the days of old
or all the times you were told
to walk straight down that road
where the righteous must go
wake up from your sleep
realize you're in too deep
the Good Shepard misses His sheep
Ezekiel 34 12
As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep.
I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.
