Stop the bleeding

Handprints of red stain the roads, streaked across the city... infiltrating the depths of mankind.
So thick...so unrelenting, tarnishing these streets of gold.
The "pure of heart" are bleeding straight from the mouth... Dying from hypocrisy
Stricken of a disease, far worse than imagined
This sickness... devouring the young and old alike with mindnumbing quickness
Lost in the flow. Wandering the desolate town, covered in blood. Tainted.
Ungrateful... lavishing the senses with selfish desires.. neglecting needs. Digging holes deeper than oceans.
Precious time by the wayside... taking years to climb out. Only to find another burrow in which to hide.
Hide from the ever-flowing river of blood!
You cannot escape it's wrath. Saturating the soil and poisoning the aquifers of life.

Have hope my brothers in Christ
The time is here for redemption. To cleanse the impurities... replacing our blood with His.
A sacrifice made, greater than any before... rescuing the lost and lonely, the sick and hopeless, the greedy and lustful.
Merciful and forgiving; washing away the tears, healing the wounds.
Replenishing the city with shimmering gold. Clean... free of death.

Give us life O Jesus, that we may be preserved from the depths of lifelessness. Conforming not to man and his religiousness, but to You O Lord.
Give us wisdom, we of feeble minds... whom misconstrue Your word and confuse the nations.
Free us from the past and bless our futures, for You alone are Holy, You alone are Worthy, You alone are praised!
"Don't hide children. Seek me and my comfort, for I am here to restore."
