Listen to poem:
Unworthy I am, spared the wrath I deserve The blood of Your Son set me free It’s by Your good pleasure, Your love for this sinner Your gift of salvation to me Your mercy is goodness, Your merit imputed Removing my guilt I am blessed Few words can convey the joy that I know So look into my heart for the rest Audacious the faith that would dare to believe I come to the throne of Your grace I no longer hide in the trees of the garden Boldly I now seek Your face That which I see not, teach Thou me, God My Maker Who gives songs in the night In darkness I dwelt ‘til Your Spirit redeemed me My life now is lived in the light Truth doesn’t need agreement by me to be true Truth is truth in itself And God doesn’t need profession or claim of belief God is God regardless Now I’m merely finite but You, God, are infinite Nonetheless in Your image I’m made To think thoughts after You, to pursue revelation Your nature unearthed in Your Word Self-existent, without beginning God eternal, without end Everlasting, without limit Truth unchanging Amen **Undiminished deity and true humanity United in one person, without confusion, forever** **Definition of the person of Jesus Christ from the Chalcedon Creed (451 A.D.)

"Truth doesn’t need agreement by me to be true" Yes! This is wisdom, sir. I am an atheist and I very much enjoyed your poem.

A beautifully composed poem in the religious form. I like how it connects from paragraph to paragraph.
