Blissful Servant Pace

Beseeching for genuine peace midst life's race miserably breathing out despair sigh afflicted by iniquity-virus... oh, my heart longed for serene pardon's grace* With lurking skepticism of pride trace my mind wrestled against sure unbelief instilling confusion and doubt-filled angst... oh, my soul sought to lean upon truth's brace. I was gripped with worldliness' crazy mace and drifted** along sin-damnation flow wallowing in depravity’s quagmire oh, my faith yearned for God’s warm embrace. Reached-out by Christ’s sacrifice in love's lace I thank His sweet presence, ceaselessly nigh securing me for blissful servant pace. *Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. **“Down the street as I was drifting with the city's human tide.” (Joseph May) March 26, 2020 3rd place, "Lines to Awaken Your Muse 2" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Joseph May; judged on 4/3/2020.
