Endgame
By David Boie
Boxes of judgement live life in our stead...
Conflict 'twixt the "wrong" and the "right;"
Even with no chip to shoulder...
You're still surely in for a fight.
All have some bone to pick...
Favorite Curse implying a Sin;
But for the Grace of a few Good Men...
I'd still call names close to the skin.
Thin is dangerous, and...
Fat can be bad for your heart;
Salt will cook your blood pressure...
Fear's buck get passed-off and we "Start!"
Guilt only exists... in off-loaded form...
Hate's messengers do find their mark;
Only to return, time after time...
While we cower and writhe in the dark.
Chorus:
=======================================
Endgame waits coming...
Two Minds become One face to face;
A Still Mind bathed in Boundless Love...
We truly are rescued by Grace.
========================================
Grace of God's Love somehow finds us...
"Don't Know" Mind begins to take hold;
Silent Gathas so Holy and Grateful...
Turn monsters to Friends in our Fold.
Chipping away at the space-between...
And learning just what not to do;
Seems the only game left for me...
A Nut-job with a screw loose or two.
I ain't even set for the Endgame...
Face-to-Face: sweet Sister I sent to a Cross;
The World's just got to Soften...
Before I Forgive Her for bearing my Cost.
Intimacy lit - 'til our eyes flee and dart scared...
Until ready, I confess, I run wise;
Drop my eyes in face of Mankind's wrath...
Christ wears such a brilliant disguise.
Chorus:
=======================================
Endgame waits coming...
Two Minds become One face to face;
A Still Mind bathed in Unspeakable Love...
We are truly answered by Grace.
========================================
Endgame waits 'til we're ready...
Wash clean the Earth with your Tears;
Steel your Self little Child...
Give Me your worries and fears.
Love enters where once seemed a terrible waste;
For you're ready - Path not tread as a lark...
The Primal Fissure mended by Grace;
As two by two, we enter Christ's Ark.
Chorus:
=======================================
Endgame waits coming...
Two Minds become One face to face;
A Still Mind bathed in Unfathomable Love...
We truly are redeemed by God's Grace.
========================================
Outro:
Walk you the slow way, dear Friend,
Defenses are aroused by a shove...
Call to your Friends with a gentle smile;
We are all here as God's only Love...
We are all here as God's only Love.
Conflict 'twixt the "wrong" and the "right;"
Even with no chip to shoulder...
You're still surely in for a fight.
