Poetry
I Come To Be
by Teresa Schultz
This is how I came to be,
Born into sin and iniquity.
The fall of man, the sin of the earth,
Yet Jesus gives me new birth.
This is how I come to be,
Bitter and angry when someone hurts me.
The love I once felt turns to hate.
I fall into addiction to escape.
This is how I come to be,
Overcome with shame, on my knees.
Guilt and condemnation overwhelm my soul
But God says, “I will restore and make you whole.”
This is where I come to be,
Once again, down on my knees.
Bowing before a gracious God,
So thankful, amazed and awed.
This is where I dream to be,
Where streets of gold are all I see.
My life here on earth is done,
And Jesus shines brighter than the sun.
