"She No Longer"

by Jeph Johnson

 

She no longer sees through blindness
She no longer breathes
Devotion failed and veiled her kindness
Smothering her belief

 

She no longer feels a comfort
She no longer craves
Victory in Christ triumphant
Freedom as a slave

She no longer walks the narrow path
Through pearly gates
She no longer tempts her Father's wrath
With thoughts of hate

 

She no longer hungers daily
She no longer thirsts
The bread of life grew stale
And blessed holy water's cursed

She no longer has a Saviour
She no longer sins
She redefines her vile behavior
And still hopes to get in...
