Doomed if I don’t

When some ask me, why do I write
maybe the answer
in the letters of Paul
away from the Word
the living God
Wandering in the world
persecuting my Savior
denying my faith
Compelled to share the Gospel
in spite of myself
Now committed to this
the words come alive
a sense of God’s presence
Love by my side
walking with Christ
a feeling of my needing
to profess my faith
Doomed if I don’t
hiding God’s light
needing to share richly
so the whole world is bright.
