For Jesus Christ, for whom I am a prisoner
by beatrice ofwona I never knew the meaning of love Until you filled my heart with your love I never knew how beautiful you are Until I gazed into the serenity of the moon And sat with you in tranquil silence I never knew how bright your truth was Until the darkness of my life was dispelled And the breath of your life was inhaled I never believed in the promises of the saints Until you revealed to me the beauty of salvation And the sanctification of all who believe I never knew how lost I was Until you snatched me from the debris of sin And laid me on your breast I never knew how much you cared Until I saw how much I hurt you with my actions And saw the tears you had in your eyes for me I never knew the beauty of the word Until I met you headlong-in the Word And knew you were made flesh to dwell among us Though the days may be long gone I know that they are but like an hour to you Though the tears may sometimes fall I know that you will wipe them away Though I seek to justify these mercies I know that I could never earn them Because all you ask of me Is that I simply accept you And be drawn into the love of your mercies. Because the one that I serve, the one that imprisons me Has granted me a second stay in eternity (word count-249) May these words (sermons), from various men and women of God be a blessing to all. contact:[email protected] Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
