Poem
My child you are like precious gold to me While the impurities within you, I can see Let them bring you to me, not keep us apart I created you and love you, just as you are You have always walked naked before me What you would hide, I have always seen As you love your child, not yet conceived Knowing their dirt, you will have to clean All the gold in my house is as you are now Not better, not worse, so don’t hide or cower If you could see their hearts as naked as I do Satan could not separate them away from you The refiner of his treasure does not say Where, why or how did you get that way? He understands that when he turns up the fire That sin will surface, against their desire He sits, not to separate: no, not to accuse But so that you can see what he sees n you That you, like the gold can be made clean But our enemy desires it to come between What he means for evil, I mean for good Even when you don’t do as you should So don’t hide yourself from your brother I made you one flesh, to need each other Deny your fears, disagree with satan’s lies Where are you? The whole body cries No longer fear judgment, the pointed finger Or become a judge of them, a dead ringer Where are you and why do you hide? Be finished now with fear and lies Come boldly, my light into the night I have called you all beautiful in my sight
