Do You Want To Know?
Do you want to get to know me?
Truly, honestly… to really see
What lies beneath
The mud and leaves?
My life has not been a walk in the park
But I can tell you how I no longer live in or am afraid of the dark.
I’ve been there you see
In utter darkness yet still wrapped in majesty.
When I felt all was lost
It never changed the actions at the cross.
When I no longer felt safe even inside my own head
Calvary beckoned, saying “He is no longer dead”.
It took hitting my rock bottom to see the price of that ransom.
Through grace I am made new,
Welcomed home, my tears now few.
Life will still have trouble, but it is written “take heart for I have overcome the world”; our blessings shall be more than doubled.
In the midst of insanity He still loves me.
In the midst of self doubt and self loathing He still loves me.
In the midst of my soul’s debt He still loves me…
And for that I am eternally grateful, awestruck, speechless and redeemed.
