Cleansed

by Debbie OConnor  
2/09/2007 / Poetry


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
