Cleansed
by Debbie OConnor Layer upon layer Sin cocoons me I hide beneath lies Lies I tell Lies I believe Deep down a spark Of life is birthed within The blood of Christ Accepted Misunderstood With ardent desire I stumble Trying to follow my Lord Encumbered by the grave clothes That still disguise this new creation Challenged, confronted Accused and condemned Reluctantly I exchange my Comfortable sinful ways For His Moment by moment I listen Trying to hear Longing to obey Failing Falling into Him Desperate I face my wretchedness I am stripped And clothed in His righteousness Wholly accepted Cleansed Debbie O'Connor lives just north of New Orleans with her husband, Jim, and their two children. Jesus has been her savior for 18 years. Contact Debbie at [email protected]. Copyright 2008 Debbie O'Connor Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
