I stand before them
Rocks clutched tightly
in their hands
Death severed
in their glares
Standing in judgment
of my many sins
I am covered in the filth
of this world
it weights me down
my body is limp
against its power
over me
I lower my gaze
unable to face
my sure fate
He steps into their circle
drawing truth
in the sands
the firm grip upon their weapons
loose
as rocks fall
and men flee
judgment
and pride are leveled
Alone
we stand
He has no rocks for me
only forgiveness
and a love
like no other
“Go and sin no more”
Another chance
Cleansed and made whole
I follow Him
and leave behind
the dirt and rags
of my former self
Embracing new life
and His spirit of strength
