Apathy and Fire by Kathleen Higham To be robbed of desire Is what apathy means to me When life becomes so burdensome A heart no longer care-free. Often apathy comes disguised In a sin you cannot bear Takes you to the darkest place Makes one wonder if you care. Apathy fuels your hopelessness Drowns His Word in despair Hiding in a tiny ember, yet A flame is raging there. Sorrow breeds with emotion When an ember cools with fear Do not surrender to apathy Just let the Lord draw near. For apathy does not care When tears no longer flow Then prayers become silent And there is no place to go. Passion will come to rescue When apathy takes its hold Stuns your faith completely Allows a body to grow cold. Desire will burn once again Fire surges from the flame Apathy will flee the soul If you call on His holy name. His passion feeds the fire I pray God breathe on me Fan the embers of my heart Until at last I can see. A fiery trail to Heaven Exploding in His light Unfailing love consumes me Smothering my sin this night. No longer robbed of desire The fire is everywhere Apathy has burned away Then I know, I feel, I care... |
