The Story Of Humanity Poem by Astell Collins

Through our eyes is the door
Not only to our hearts but also to our soul
We were created to be perfect by nature
But were born in sin and do not know our future
Oh that we may know Him
Through His heart and not by the colour of His skin
His love unfolds the soul and develops the mind
Yet to our brothers and sisters we are unkind
We fear that we are inadequate
Although at the level of though we can cause the earth to quake
We are covered by His marvelous light
So darkness has no place in us, thus we must do right
We ask ourselves why me?
Afraid to become and walk out our destiny
We are to manifest the nature of God
And let evil doings be what is odd
Fitting in with the group doesn’t serve humanity
Nor does dimming our glory eradicates people’s insecurity
We are all meant to stand out
And regardless of trials, never to doubt
Knowing that the devil is terrified
Of us who are sanctified
We are thus liberated from fear
And equipped to wipe away humanity’s tears
