Keys to the Realm
Inspired by Matthew 16; Mark 8:11-9:1; Luke 9:18-27 People will demand to see a sign Trying to prove you are maligned Thinking themselves as enshrined Unable to interpret what is divined Beware the yeast of pious pretenders Who cannot discern all of God's splendor Eagerly awaiting the anointed deliverer But unable to commit to God in surrender We are given the keys to the Realm Forbidden things will be overwhelmed Permitted things will we helm Since we are part of His Twelve We will suffer terrible things At the hands of religious whims Accusing you of many sins Because to life we want to cling Don’t see from a human perspective Because such things can be deceptive To God’s ways please be receptive So that saving your soul is your directive
