Baptized By Our Pain

by Michael D Nalley   Oct 10, 2004


Through our whole life
There has been strife
Earth wind and fire
Can't quench desire

Answers are near
When You are here
Why should I cry?
Tears fall from the sky

You are in my heart
We're not far apart
Where there is belief
There is sweet relief

Your Heart is to Your blood
As heaven was to the flood
Where was the water first?
Sent to quench our thirst

Where did the strife begin?
Was it with our selfish sin?
How else can you explain?
Being baptized by pain

Was Your Son mistaken?
When He felt forsaken
Can Heaven be any part?
Of a world with a cold heart?
