God Is In Control

John 1:9 KJV  (We confess our sins & He faithfully forgives, cleansing us from all unrighteousness)

I fell to my knees as the preacher prayed over me with a hand on my shoulder 
and with one gentle touch he showed me God's monogram signature of old  
as he gently exfoliated me, from my secret sins ; 
Private eyes downcast I gazed at a memorized snapshot of a much younger me,  
soaked to the skin by a crucifix in Santa Catalina/Spain 
I was young, foolish, and perfused in pain 
having lost both my parents I nearly went insane 
He didn't rush me, he didn't judge me  nor did he ask my name  
As the sun went down by Plaza de la Reina, I felt my first authentic remorse  
and for the first time in my life, I realized that God was in control of my life;
Falling across my soul like a lit feather followed by the sun, 
He came into my heart and gave me the gift of discernment. 
From that day forward I placed my trust in Him, and never looked back.
