As i process my thoughts
i trace my history within
toiling for a bit
wanting secretly to claim
this love for YOU
as mine
as if
one day i devoted my life just because...
the truth denies me this right
NOW THIS is how it happened....
i was lost in darkness
consumed with wanting out of
a prison called bad marriage
escaping through dreams
that eventually lead to
disaster
when a women of thoughtless sin emerged
a dark harmful soul whose
appearance was mine....
in a few months she wrecked
what took a lifetime to build
beaten and battered
all she left me
were fountains of tears
- tears that YOU heard -
What was meant to
destroy my soul
became the conduit
to save it!
Piece by piece
stripping me bare
of my self -goodness
that i thought was enough
to enter YOUR HEAVEN someday...
BUT by YOUR GRACE and MERCY
i saw THE LIGHT
and was rescued.
O i long remember sweetly
the day i first saw
THE LIFE of JESUS
shedding HIS precious BLOOD.
The moment i first saw myself as
a worthless sinner.
BROKEN by the truth of me...
my eyes could see
my ears could hear
my heart wide open
wanting to be loved by YOU
i felt YOU wrap YOURSELF
inside of me forever...
and that is when i fell in LOVE!
