Shallow breaths
And tortured souls.
Disarray of thoughts
No one knows.
Breathless sobs
Constant fear.
The tragic tale
Of living here.
We choose our path,
A selfish plan
To gain and revel
In Satan’s hand.
And wonder why
Our hearts mistake
The longing prolongs
The groans and aches.
Bottom barrel sadness,
Swimming in the muck
Of sinful living
And life undone.
But even in
The darkest place
Is unmatched mercy
And boundless grace.
Surprise encounter,
In shamed defeat.
When at the bottom
Our Savior meet.
Stains project
The saga remains
Of tainted past
And worldly gains.
Still, He waits.
Fear holds back
And won’t engage
The trusted love
For sinner’s sake.
Clenched by Satan
In mind he dwells,
To hold you back
In earthly hell.
He fights,
You fight.
A battle within.
But Christ awaits
And covers sin.
The blood of Satan
Drowns the soul,
The blood of Christ
Makes you whole.
And brings new life
To sinner’s death
Arisen hope
In forgotten breath.
Redemptions tale.
Glory gains
Another child
victory remains.
For those oppressed
In past mistakes,
Cry out to God,
Hope remains.
Where you are
There He’ll be.
The light of life
The path to free.
Heavy burdens
Released within.
For Jesus Christ
Covers sin.
