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)
