I think about my fate
Because I was raised with disregard
or because I was born to hate?
"Virtue isn't mine." I think
The thought unformed it hangs
above my fattened chin and cheeks
behind my frizzy bangs
I don't add up, I'm not enough
Atrocious, that's the word
They swirl inside my damaged head
All the ugly things I've heard
Shame and fear fill my heart
Anxiety swells up
Should I kneel to sing and pray
Or should I just give up?
Should I sit and eat alone?
Should I watch more TV?
The fear of facing Jesus
is just to much for me.
I hear it's a terrible thing
to never know a saving grace
But all the worse it feels to err
and have to see His face
I fear His eyes will flash with hate
I fear His angry curse
I fear it will not go away
And I could not bear to feel any worse
The lines that dip and cross and break
on my large thick hands
remind me of the Saviors cross
and the pain He chose to withstand
So kneeling now I think of Him
So faithful His Grace for me
And it's not my own mistakes
but my Savior's Cross I see
