In the cloak of night My angels came down To Sodom’s gates where darkness had grown The cries of the city rose up to My throne Evil so thick, no light could be shown Lot, kin to Abraham, chose to remain Not pure as his uncle, yet not wholly stained I gazed on him softly with pity and grace Though he lingered still in that fallen place Oh Lot, My child, rise up and flee Lest you be destroyed in the sin of the city I judge the cruel, but spare those who sway The righteous must leave—or share their decay You dawdle and pause at the edge of the flame Yet I draw you close in mercy’s name A spark of Lot burns in every heart’s core Look not behind—or turn to salt evermore They came as dusk fell, when shadows grow long Daylight brings scorn where strangers don’t belong They spoke of the street as their bed for the night But Lot welcomed them in, offered shelter and light The mob surged to the door, wild and unclean Demanding the guests in their lustful scene My angels reached out, struck blindness so deep They stumbled and froze, no strength left to creep Oh Lot, My child, rise up and flee Lest you be destroyed in the sin of the city I judge the cruel, but spare those who sway The righteous must leave—or share their decay You dawdle and pause at the edge of the flame Yet I draw you close in mercy’s name A spark of Lot burns in every heart’s core Look not behind—or turn to salt evermore “Who will you save?” the question rang clear Though I knew his household, I wanted to hear His sons-in-law scoffed, dismissed every word Lot’s faith flickered low, his warning unheard He lingered at dawn, feet heavy with doubt Till angels grasped hands and hurried him out Zoar I granted when he asked for a sign But his wife chose to look back—and became a sign Oh Lot, My child, rise up and flee Lest you be destroyed in the sin of the city… Your road is your own, the ruin self-chosen Yet grace still pursues where mercy’s been spoken From heaven I watch as hearts drift and roam I open the way before judgment comes home Sodom lies silent, a lesson severe But even the Lots find My mercy near
