Poetry: The Lover You Seek is God

Author: John Enslow  9 January 1996

This generation's endless scrambling For a true love is their pursuit. To silence the greatest hearts longing Just anything to make it mute. "Is there no one who is willing?" To stand in their midst In the middle of the whoredom To shout from the precipice? "The hunt may be relinquished In evil sin's delight. Not in shadows will you find it He is the Way, the Truth, the Light." God says, "Who will come To deliver my holy plea Speak into a generation?" Oh Lord, I say, "will it be me?"

This generation's endless scrambling
For a true love is their pursuit.
To silence the greatest hearts longing
Just anything to make it mute.

"Is there no one who is willing?"
To stand in their midst
In the middle of the whoredom
To shout from the precipice?

"The hunt may be relinquished
In evil sin's delight.
Not in shadows will you find it
He is the Way, the Truth, the Light."

God says, "Who will come
To deliver my holy plea
Speak into a generation?"
Oh Lord, I say, "will it be me?"

Resounding, the walls reverberate
With heaven's great delight.
His longing will be satisfied
For a bride pure and white.

His love sick anguish rails.
To you it may seem odd
Who will take My devoted message
"The lover you seek is God!"
