~ Tethered Bye ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~ Hope-friend, being ~
my heart convicted-bye.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Tether tied. ~

~ Grace-yes ... ~
~ well beside abides my hope. ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Tiptoe they do ... my thoughts ~
Through crimson pools of shame.

Know now I do ... for certain.

"Same shame that binds the hand, in Gods capable ones is made free"!

~~~~~~~~~~
Felicitous His hand lye outstretched to me the day when finally,
I was open to Him.
Broken bye it, reaching out to Him yes with my life,
I gave it all, the well of my tears,
the lot of my shame slow torture ... of my soul.
Open now, ever more grateful,
certain today, willing, I move to cherish Him,
given this ... dyer my need ... my pain, His answer.
Couldn't be it there anything more genuine,
generous nor divine ...
than this,
His grace.
Illustrious I found it resting, lying down upon His breast,
nestled amid His tender arms of love shedding my sorrow ...
my tears, as they tricked, fell-down on Him, finally crying.
Yes friend finally crying, freed to my delight,
as I touched His side hands, the truth,
proof ... of His mercy.
It was for me ...
has been quite a wayward journey home yes,
yes a long time coming.
His grace has kept me though through it all I am finding, because still felicitous,
sheltered, my heart, His has-always-been-there ... here, for me.
Kept crying, and through His faithfulness to me,
mine now has been taught ...
friend ... please-yes ...
remain-open ... .
