Happy Monday, all!
(It really is a happy Monday… the weather is amazing here right now.)
So… I procrastinated this past weekend. Imagine that. So today scampers around and fills up with a few time-consuming surprises. Thus, we ditch all plans for a thought-provoking article (because it remains half-written at present) and default to…
A poem.
I wrote this one last month, I think, and I really love it. I hope you do, too.:)
can’t remember
a time
I didn’t know
You loved me.
always
each day
You sang a song of love
to me
so freely
it didn’t matter how
I’d hurt You with
the words I’d said
the thoughts I’d
cherished
You
were always there
chasing
my heart
You were
relentless
in Your love
still are
I wonder what I did
with these dirty hands
to earn
Your faithfulness
how could I be so
vile
and yet so
loved
by the God of
holiness?
blood
drips
down
love
gave
all
for me
I’m free
free to love You
delight in You
serve You
give all for You
some call it
mad –
is it
mad
to give all
for the
One
you
love?
who gave
all
for
you?
friend, meet love.

YES! So good. Parts of it remind me of one verse from “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”:
“See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?”

love
gave
