FOCUS FOR US

The dry desert heat
Don't pay attention to sorrow
"My throat burns, my Love"
"Focus, my child, you'll see tomorrow"

Not another day, please, no more
No relief for my chief of injustice
Moment after moment
They pounce, pull, and try to bust us up

"Your LOVE is wrong...
Your LOVE fails...
Your LOVE has no salvation
Your LOVE has no healing....
   He's the ONE who is always stealing
         our...precious!"

"My LOVE, I can take the heat
The parched tongue, the rattle in my chest
But for your LOVE to have surrounded
The worst with your best, 
    and the only WORD...I hear....

is..........FAILURE......."

"In spite of all the wrong
The seeds have been planted, watered, and sheltered
     Fruit will be harvested in season
No reason to leave in grief
No noose of shame around your neck
     Drink in the desert, from the well of living water

Focus on seeing me....face to face
