Treesie Zachary: The Death Walk

The death walk

Is a walk that one must take alone

Learning how to give up your right

For someone else’s wrong

Yielding all of your faculties

To your God above

Learning to be as wise as a serpent

But as gentle as a dove

Walking in God’s truth

And his everlasting grace

Learning not to seek His hand

But instead to seek His face

To be purified in His fire

So that you’ll come out as pure gold

Walking forth in God’s Spirit

Declaring His infallible Word so bold

To be hidden in His presence

And lost in his being

To walk in His dominion

Resisting the devil and send him fleeing

To humble yourself before Him

And take on his cloak of righteousness

To rejoice when Satan troubles you

Or causes you distress

To laugh in the face of the enemy

And crush his head with your heel

To give God the praise all of the time

Despite how you may feel

To die to your flesh everyday

And mortify every element of sin

To deny yourself before others

Especially your kin

To live in love and harmony

And follow peace with all

To give of yourself willfully

And fulfill God’s call
