Report Article
I stand here as Eve in a garden of imperfection.
Instead of a tree I’m surrounded by sin's many flavors of confection.
I downgrade my fig leaf to a smile shielding my shame with false protection,
pausing on the street corner of free will’s intersection.
Led astray, I was tempted by a serpent’s poisonous deception.
Religious church folk hijacking the godly and distorting my perception.
Muddying the view to the Living Waters with misconception,
while the rest of the world boils down love to a sticky residue of physical affection.
Receiver turned deceiver, I have become the infection.
Truth resting just above my radar’s detection.
The world tells me to strive to be the rule’s exception.
Smiling and beckoning me to its rejection.
With my God, I am unable to make a real connection.
Realizing that I am without the gates of paradise upon closer inspection.
Falling to my knees left with no real direction.
Jesus answered my repentant cry with its high-pitched inflection.
Forgiveness bringing to my life the abundant life’s injection.
Faith acting as a means for earth’s natural selection.
For when I shine, it’s merely His lights reflection.
Saved by my Lord and Savior’s resurrection.
Thank you, Jesus.
Honor, Glory, and Praise to the Most High
