Humility
Sighs, softly, sorrowful
Mourning, the tears
Reflecting the heart who knows,
Sin has a lingering dread,
Deafening, darker than doubt,
Distant as the despair
Felt by the one who offends
Our only hope, the God who forgives
Even those sins we might consider
Unforgiveable, reprehensible,
Intolerable, even willful.
Humility
Whispers gently, weeping silently
Unconsolable, desolate
Tears who speak of what is known
As the sin who has lost hope,
Sinful words, sinful hearts, sinfulness
In distant pain, torment, trouble
Driving confidence insane,
Discouraging, ominous, with nought to gain
Solemn words, grave thoughts
Known by those who truly believe
It is only God’s Son who is capable of forgiving
All those depravities, iniquities, evils
Brought to light by souls who can see
Even the least sin is one that needs repentance.
Humility
Silences the deafening doubts,
The loss of hope, the loss of faith.
Remembering the joy
Abiding in those who know Him
The only One who can console
Those who are filled with shame, regret,
All the contrition that bleeds through
The life of those who comprehend
Grace that comes to those who repent,
Those who know Him as Redeemer,
Those who believe He will forgive,
Those who see Him as Savior and King,
Those who love Him …
Because He’s worthy…
He is so worthy
Humility never fails to reveal
The love that abides in the life,
Who repents of every sin,
Especially vanity – pride, the opposite
Of the humbleness that makes atonement
Possible and probable,
Because of grace He gave to those
Who simply believe He is who He says He is
And His love is big enough to last eternally!
He is worthy and I am free from all sin,
Because He saved me and gave me His spirit,
Who comforts and leads me, teaches me
Whatever comes, I know the wonder of HIS LOVE
And, that is more than enough… He is worthy of all my praise
He is worth more to me each day!
