Devotionals
Place in my hand Your sharpened sword to slash away the scars,
For I sumbit not, I see no prison bars.
Pacing back and forth, the walls draw closer still,
Every sound shakes me, my soul no peace reveals.
I juggle many uncut keys into a lock of tempered conceit,
Trying them over and over again, both day and night I weep.
The ceiling of the cell looms far above my reach,
On a bloody nail a key hangs, under my breathe I do beseech.
Help me God to reach it so I might dare go free,
But the Cornerstone of life I refuse to even see.
It's positioned in the wall, only a footstep away,
The Cornerstone of block reaches out to me this day.
Prideful eyes blindfolded, I cannot feel the darkened cloth,
The bloody nail drips down, reminding me my life was bought.
I wipe away the tears and open my eyes to see,
The Cornerstone before me, my foot steps up to reach the key.
My trembling fingers touch it with repentance on my lips,
I hurry to the door, unlocking it with the key that fits.
I'm free I cry and wail from the bondage of my sin,
Excitement dashed to only find, other cells must be unlocked from within.
