Poetry
HOPE
Weighed down
With the burden of sin
Shame etched into my face.
No where to turn
To lay down my load
Fallen so far from grace.
Beaten, battered
With emotional torment
Guilt eating me up.
My only friends ...
Agony, defeat
I drink from my bitter cup.
Trapped, ensnared
With no way out
Deserving the very worst.
Wailing, crying
I beat my breast
Assuming I'm forever cursed.
Weary, depressed
With no will to live
Yet fearful to die.
Sin is sin
I can do nothing
But beat myself and cry.
Distant yet near
With love His beginning
Hope is listening.
Compassion, desire
To bridge the chasm
Redemption's conceiving.
Mercy, grace
With humility were born
Hope came to a manger.
Healing, delivering
Hope's mission on earth
I sought Him as a stranger.
Unholy, impure
With a wicked heart I
Went to the Cross to see.
Hope Who hung there
Nailed by my sins
Love died. Love lives. I'm free.
Adoring, praising
With Hope in my heart
I dance around His Throne.
Hopelessness gone
Sin and despair wiped away
Hope loves me as His very own.
