Confessions, profound, claims of process, decreed
In order to give peace a chance, to be freed
I cannot control what had never been given
In the waiting room, manifests, the point to be driven
That God would so love this lost creature, reflected
Weighted by sin, desperate mortal, dejected
Cant ever repay what was conceived by birth
No payment, no offering, had value or worth
The life that was led, riddled pain, incomplete
Fear and anxiety, triumphant, replete
The future was grim, yet to hold and control
The hole was dug deeper, the abyss did unfold
The present day musings in full tragic display
I saw myself stricken in panic today
And all the while tending to plug all the holes
The hole that was in me was increasingly cold
The past held no laughter, in tatters and ruins
Whatever held love, torn apart by the union
Who could ever forgive what lay lost, yesteryear
Divided, the cost, draped in tragedy, tears
Who could console future, past,or the present
Who could forgive with such bitter resentment
Who could make right with this terrible wrong
Who could come forward to be humble and strong
Envision the beauty of God’s holy grace
In giving His Son at the cross, could erase
Offenses committed, forgiven, designed
By Christ’s sacrifice, His forgiveness, divine
I took hold of fear and set anxiety aside
Tired of anger, frustration and pride
And enter the peace, only God could provide
He told me He loved me, nothing left there to hide
I walk with Him daily, every moment I can
His love is for certain, from my fear, made a stand
To honor and praise Him, to give thanks and pray
Depend on Him solely, even when I would stray
Today, a new lesson, a paradigm shift
As God gave the message, my ears heard the gift
It isn’t what done, what great works are displayed
With with gratitude, attitude, love God every day
