Poetry
He walked into my life one day
A friend of friend was he;
And all that I’d been waiting for
With him, it seemed to be.
An answer to my years of prayer
The one I waited for;
I walked right in, expecting grace
While Satan locked the door.
No, I didn’t see it coming
I thought that I was strong;
I thought my heart was planted firm
In Christ; but I was wrong.
So blinded by a need for love
Accepting what I knew;
Believing he was sent from God
Though there was work to do.
Performing to his own desires
And dancing to his song;
Soon left to wonder what I’d done
Deserving what was wrong?
Am I so bad You’ve kept me from
True love for me on earth?
Abuse and suffering I see
The purpose of my birth?
I didn’t seem to understand
The root of all my pain;
Just where it all was coming from
And who was I to blame?
But planted deep within the soul
A weed and tare were sown;
Unknown for years; the lies that choked
The life that I had known.
A life that’s guided by the wounds;
Imprisoned by the past;
Can’t see beyond the circumstance
Or grasp free life to last.
But oh, another plan was set
Before the dawn of time;
A plan to open prison doors
The plan of Grace Divine.
The Son of God stepped down to earth
From woman He was born;
And offered up a Sacrifice
His Body; broken; torn.
That through His willingness to die
Atoning Blood to give;
The Son of Man broke Satan’s hold
Restoring power to live.
Not by the chains that bind our hearts
Nor by the wounds of old;
But by the Grace of God’s own Son
This story is now told.
Of understanding reasons why
He walked into my life;
Revealing attitudes of heart,
Required the Surgeon’s knife.
For through the Incident I found
Desire for a change;
For honor, love and purity
Beliefs to rearrange.
To operate within the heart
Remove the sin and shame;
As only God Himself can do
I’m different; not the same.
