Able

There was a time
When my faith was unshakeable

The Lord proved
That I was remakeable

His love for me
Was simply not mistakeable

The Holy Spirit’s strength
Was totally unbreakable

For forsaking me
He was incapable

His call on my life
Was just so inescapable

But I went rogue
And became insatiable

I thought His love
Would just be replaceable

In the world I could hide
And then become untraceable

Write my own ticket
My desires now obtainable

But such a life
Is so unsustainable

Bent and broken
I’m biodegradable

I’ll never get home
The chasm unscalable


Would He take me back
That seemed so debatable

My life got so twisted
My actions so hateable

I didn’t deserve it
My soul was unrateable

Consumed with despair
My steps were retraceable

At His gate I cried
My debt is unpayable

He opened the gates
How is this explainable

You are my son
That is not erasable

Such love as this 
Simply unrestrainable

Very nice, Danny! Jesus Christ is worthy! He not only gives mercy, but grace, besides. “Father, forgive them…” he said as He too upon us ALL our sin. Oh what a Savior! Now you are on the footpath of a fruitful life! God bless! Well written.
