Wounds That Heal

Poetry

I needed conviction
It was given through pain
I needed correction, which came
as I lost all I thought I had gained.

Proverbs 20:30

Stripes that wound scour away evil,
And strokes reach the innermost parts.

Job 5:18

For He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds, and His hands also heal.

Equals

Poetry

There is only One

worth worshipping

Only One above man

The rest of us are on level ground

None better than the rest

If we elevate any one too high

It magnifies the lie

That they are better than I

Luke 18:19

“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good–except God alone.

Loud Faith

Poetry

You hold my hand

And walk with me

You know everything on my mind

You understand

And see my heart

You’ve plans in your own time

If what I want 

Is beneath Your desire

I submit my will to Yours

You know better

And my vision is limited

So my wanting I’ll endure
Let my faith be my patience

Let is rise above the rest

Let it be the loudest voice 

My heart hears

As I’m tempted by trials and tests

Battle Scars

Poetry

I wish I could say I’ve been a victor

And stayed the course with You

I wish I could say I kept my faith

And never truly doubted You

 

I wish I could say I’ve been stronger

And stood on a solid ground

I wish I could say I learned my lessons

And never looked back or turned around

 

But that’s not the case

I am not the strong one

I fail temptations and tests

Coming out broken and undone

 

I get burned by the flames

I abandon my ark

I shy away from Pharaoh

I run to the dark

 

And every time I get injured

You are there to rescue from harm

You still love, still forgive

You scoop me into your arms

 

I wish I could say I’ve been good

And won this war for You

Truth is I’ve been a traitor and a fool

And the only real hero is You
