Abstaining From Pontification

It's painful to know the people laid in thy heart
has turned so cold to Him they have turned all pseudo.
The world as they know it, is their oyster;
yet this oyster is not of You.
But they careth not.

They love the world and see not the point --
the point of Your soverignty and Your act of grace.
The singular greatest act of love
involves a wooden cross, tons of nails and a crown of thorns.
But they careth not.

The world comes along in laps of waves
and sweeps them off their feet, away from Thy will.
Alas! I can only stand and watch
and perhaps wait for the inevitable.

Hark! So my heart bleeds for your dear Soul.
