The ways of the violent

The ways of the violent

by Joel Howard

To rush, to push

To rage, to not wait

To indulge, to get ahead

To compete, to judge ahead of time

These are the ways of the violent

To conclude for oneself

A pace faster than God's

God who waits patiently

and desires that none should perish 

Yet we seek the hurt of our brother!!

These are the ways of the violent

Hush, my soul - for God alone wait silently

For the deliverance of the LORD
