At Derinkuyu
Today I went down to the underground city in Derinkuyu,Turkey
They went down, and down, and down
To avoid persecution,
And to praise God,
And to keep their faith
I had to lower my back
With bent knees
Through narrow pathways
In darkness, thinking
I have too much
Worries, thoughts, and things
They have only Jesus!
I lied down in one of their graves
Dug under the ground, feeling
The new strength from dirt
Planted in death,
Remembering whose I am!
When I came out
I know I am a different person.
A wild thing
That has peace!
