If God searched
Our heart
What is it
He would find?
He knows
When we sinned
But he also forgives
The truly repentant.
But what of the liar
Who mocks
The wounded
Compounding their loss
Over and over again.
Lord please
Let them loose
And let them wander
Far away from you
And all that is good.
Harden their hearts
So that they will not hear
And glaze over their eyes
So that they
Will never see.
Let them go on
And let them run away
A long time coming
When you
Cut them down.
Hands under the table
They have cheated many
Falsely accusing
The innocent
And good.
They gamble
With others
And they think
They are clever.
Swindling their way in
And lying their way out
Full of false claims
And whispered promises.
But you know
My heart
And also my
Endless sorrow.
Searching me out
And proving me whole
Tested and tested
To see and to know.
The gambler chuckles
And the gambler plots
Hurting the good
Every chance he gets.
Call in his cards
And cash out his chips
The king of the house
Reclaiming every spoil.
Returning ten thousand
Times ten thousand
Everything lost
Better than before.
His final ticket
And his final bet
Chewed up
And spit out!
