We’re born with eyes that crave the world’s bright light,
Its painted lies, its temporary gold.
The enemy, with whispers smooth and slight,
Makes bitter chains look beautiful and bold.
We chase the thrill, the crowd, the fleeting cheer,
Not knowing all we love just pulls us near
To hollow days and nights that never fill—
To thirst unquenched, and hearts still longing still.
But then — a Voice. A whisper strong and kind,
A knock upon the doorframe of the soul.
We turn, unsure, and start to look behind—
And find not loss, but love that makes us whole.
He’s more than Savior from the sin we knew:
He is the way, the peace, the life, the true.
When once you taste, your hunger finds its end.
No need to chase what never could defend.
The world grows strangely dim beneath His face—
The goal, the guide, the fullness of all grace.
So come and see, step out from shadows grim:
The Lord is good—oh, come, and feast on Him.

Deeply moving! A spiritually resonant reflection on the human condition and the transformative power of divine love. The contrast of the allure of worldly distractions—”painted lies, temporary gold”—with the enduring peace found in faith creates a powerful narrative of longing and fulfillment.

The imagery of “a knock upon the doorframe of the soul” and “love that makes us whole” is beautifully tender, inviting readers to envision faith not as loss but as a profound, soul-deep completion. The line “The world grows strangely dim beneath His face” captures the idea of finding ultimate purpose and joy beyond fleeting desires with such poetic grace.

It feels like an invitation to reflection and renewal, a call to move beyond the “shadows grim” into the light of grace and truth.
