MAN and HIS SHADOW
Man’s thoughts are often dark and flat
Like shadows on the ground
There is no depth in what he says
His mind is shallow bound
He will offer words of wisdom
When silence should prevail
He’ll continue to speak out aloud
In arrogance he’ll fail
There’s no one good” the Bible says
“Save God who made mankind”
Sadly man for selfish gain
Is swayed by his own mind
But there are some - a very few
Who’ve walked the narrow way
The third dimension of mankind
Shows in them day by day
They offer hope to needy souls
They feed the hungry poor
They touch the lonely with their love
And nurse the aching sore
There is no room within their heart
For earthly pride and praise
Nor do they hope to save their lives
By working endless days
Their love and life is Spirit born
They live because they love
They only do what God would do
He tells them from above
Man needs again to understand
That God who moulds the clay
Has given us the chance to walk
And talk with Him each day
And if we choose the Lord of Life
Who shed His blood for all
Then those who hang upon the truth
Will overcome the fall
Then man and shadow too will leap
And dance the whole day through
The third dimension of the man
Will shout again - I’m new!
