IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION (Sandy Warner)
Looking at the valley of decision,
I see many wrestle with derision.
Nations of people are circling with care
Through a revolving door that's standing there.
Over and over they circle and strive.
Contemplating lives, and what they've contrived.
Tis time to harvest their baskets of seed.
Acknowledging the fruits of all their deeds.
Wandering and circling through that door,
They grow sick of knowing what's in store.
More of the same from patterns engrained
Until they choose no more of the same.
Having gone through the sifter with pain
Finally facing the truth and with shame.
Hardened places are broken and refined.
Facing fact of what's passed through time.
Moving forward at the crossroads of choice
With wrenching hearts and with cheeks that are moist,
They look to the right and look to the left.
Weighing the losses from what is bereft.
The flesh or My Spirit, which will they choose?
Their flesh has kicked and become so bruised.
Will they turn back through the revolving door?
Or make their choice not knowing what is in store?
The flesh reaps corruption, loss and decay.
My Spirit brings life, walking in My way.
The road is narrow, with purpose and plan.
Counting flesh for loss from the heart of man.
My glory is coming, My joy made known.
My treasures revealed from depths not shown.
My love's forever; eternity's here.
Heaven's on earth, My Presence is near.
To the left or the right, all will elect.
One way to embrace, one way to reject.
People will split at the crossroads of life.
Making their choice about all their strife.
Others will wait for loved ones to revolve
Through that door of what's not resolved.
But lines of demarcation are coming for real.
Separating lives with passion and zeal.
One for the flesh and one for My Spirit.
Producing their fate, from what they merit.
Oh God have mercy for those on the turn.
Draw them to You, let Your love not be spurned.
We are all human and fail in our sin,
Seeking comfort for flesh thinking we'll win.
Only with Your grace can we follow truth
Separating our lives from what's uncouth.
Your Spirit wont strive forever with men.
Let us be prompt to lay down the sin.
Move us forward past that revolving door.
Towards the right, seeking You for more.
Joel 3:14 NKJV
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is
near in the valley of decision.
