Notes About The Poem

Well I tried to write a Christmas poem but this came out. Oh well.

Jesus King of Kings

When I told You that I didn’t need You,
I could not have needed You more.
(Or cared less)
Still You told me,
That You wanted me too.
I brought nothing to You,
Yet You gave me Your best.
In the depth of my charade,
Day after day,
You grew weary of my ways.
And the harder I ran,
The longer I stayed,
Away
Still You drew me closer,
I pushed away.
Then Destiny Alone called my name. 
And now I stand today in You alive and free.
Sheltering in place beneath the shadow of Your wings.
And the more I gaze into You,
The less of me is seen,
In the light of the King of kings.
And as I learn of You
As I lean on You
All I can say
Is I still believe
What only faith can see.
And I will follow You
All of my days.
Jesus, King of kings.
