a poem..not by me
Posted January 21, 2007
My face stained with tears,
my mind filled with grief,
and my broken heart lying in my weak hands
the beautiful Life
Ive so often touched
seems so distant now
and all around me
Im swallowed up by my pain
but somehow somewhere
I sense a distant shaking
it starts slowly, and grows steadily
and as it becomes overwhelming
pure light slices through this oppressive darkness
revealing my sin
and my dirty, sick heart
and in this blinding light
all my pretences fall to the ground
and Im left there
it's me and You
and I have nothing to say
except "save me, Father"
And as You reach out
and touch my broken places
I feel my shame, apathy, and selfishness melting away
You're not intimidated by my sin
or afraid of my evil, twisted thoughts
Once again I dare to hope
Once again I dare to love
Once again, I realize..
You are the Faithful One in my life
You are the One who sets my heart free
You are Good thrown into this dark world
and you make All Things New.
