I could
never imagine how cruel the pain or the curse
I have no excuse for how I only stood by and watched
You’ve seen me at my ficklest and seen me at my worst
And still my sin and burden was by Your hand dislodged
How can I be so lost in my mind sometimes?
How do I miss so often what You offered then and offer daily?
How could I ever have returned to guilt and lies?
How can I not stand and say now that You can take all of me?
Hope is light surrounding me even on a dark day
Hope is knowing the truth and knowing true life
Hope is the sound of You calling out my name
Hope cannot be removed when it lives deep inside
This hope is a gift and it’s a lifeline
This hope is eternal and it’s bright
This hope is yours and it’s mine
This hope is going to set us alight
I have no excuse for how I only stood by and watched
You’ve seen me at my ficklest and seen me at my worst
And still my sin and burden was by Your hand dislodged
How can I be so lost in my mind sometimes?
How do I miss so often what You offered then and offer daily?
How could I ever have returned to guilt and lies?
How can I not stand and say now that You can take all of me?
Hope is light surrounding me even on a dark day
Hope is knowing the truth and knowing true life
Hope is the sound of You calling out my name
Hope cannot be removed when it lives deep inside
This hope is a gift and it’s a lifeline
This hope is eternal and it’s bright
This hope is yours and it’s mine
This hope is going to set us alight
This hope
is bright

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. / Isaiah 53:5, NKJV
For we were saved in this hope. / Romans 8:24, NKJV

I pray that wherever and whoever you are, that you and your loved ones are kept safe today and over the weekend, and I pray that you have hope. May His light find you and shine upon you during this trying time and always.
Beautiful like always. <3 <3

DeleteI needed to read this not just for today but for this very hour because when the last hour I messed with my mouth. I let the flesh override the Spirit and ripped on someone. Of course I did not wake up intended to but most of our sins don't come that way, just ripe off the lips. They are usually hidden deep inside and what comes out is hard to really understand the why. I am a why person, I want to know why I have hurt someone, I want to see the bare bones of my sin. There is was, just waiting for me to ask Him, control, pride. This frustration I feel is fueled by my lack of control. Same thing the devil wrestled with when he was an angel. The difference is, I have hope for my sins that are committed from the old sinful women I am since birth. He has risen and I am forgiven. My prayer is I can be as forgiving as the Lord when I am hurt. Love this poem, it's hits all the lows and high spots of our redemption. Thanks you for letting the Lord work through you to me and others.
