My heart is open to all of God’s words,
I dabbled in the selfish life,
Thinking that I could do it alone,
It was only as the new dawn came,
When I began my day offering brokenness
That everything started making sense again,
With nothing hidden,
Everything became very clear,
Deceit makes its wily plans,
Trying always to skirt around your truth.
When it all went belly up for me,
I drew closer to God,
I had nowhere else to go,
Alone but always with God,
When Hatred screamed at me,
You useless pile of dung,
You don’t belong to me,
My life turned completely around,
Death’s intention stopped in its tracks,
Completely stopped by Grace.
As Grace drew to his full height,
I saw Hatred’s pitiful last gasps breathed,
Still spitting out his wretched lies,
Down to his last believer – himself,
Leading himself down the road to death,
Grace and peace giving no air to hatred,
It suffocates on its own death vomit,
I love being safe in Grace’s arms,
The one called beloved,
Enjoying my name being called out,
For everyone to hear who I belong to,
Nothing unseen – every part loved.
