Not Keeping My Eyes Upon the Sun


This poem is based on the following scriptures: Exodus 33:12-23, Exodus 34:29-35, Jeremiah 2:1-19, Mark 4:35-41, Matthew 14:22-34, Matthew 5:14-16, and Jude 12-13.

I'm hiding in the cleft of the rock

Refusing to look while You pass by me

I'm searching for the veil

So Your glory I will not see

I'm chasing after the moon

And not keeping my eyes upon the Sun.

I'm pouring water into broken cisterns

In a land that is too dry

I've built a kingdom of my idols,

My illusions, and my lies

I'm chasing after the moon

And not keeping my eyes upon the Sun.

I'm quaking with fear in the boat

Grabbing for anything that can save

I'm sinking in the water

Not walking on the waves

I'm chasing after the moon

And not keeping my eyes upon the Sun.

I'm living in the valley

Lingering in the fog that settles there

I'm not in the city on the hill

Where the Light will appear

I'm chasing after the moon

And not keeping my eyes upon the Sun.

I will no longer be a blemish

A cloud without rain

An uprooted autumn tree with no fruit

A wandering star with no shame

I'll stop chasing after the moon

And fix my eyes upon the Sun.
