--------------------------------------------------------------
Liars, thieves, and mockers of You
Trampling down love and so much that You do
Adulterers, prostitutes, and dead corpses walking
For thousands of years it's to us You've been talking
Filthy, bloody, and blind yet unwilling
To look past ourselves and come to the One we've been killing
Dirty and stubborn, a believer of lies
We are these for whom the Son dies
Upon a cross filled with grace
Lifting sins' stains without trace
New birth, new life, with eyes now we see
A glimpse of the depth of Your mercy
New creations, men walking with Life
Filled with Peace no matter what swirling strife
Surrounds and awaits to ensnare
Away from You, us it will not tear
Joy and hope now abiding within
And You welcoming us home eternally without sin!!!

ReplyDeleteGood stuff!I like how you wrote it with almost a chiastic structure...starting out with description of death, sin, etc. and bringing it back around to walking with Life, etc. Very well done.
