On Repentance
There are shimmering ripples
in the wake
shining brightly on this date.
Repentance isn’t a sentence
for failure but rather
In hopes that,
the more I lean on Him,
the less mistakes I’ll make.
There are shimmering ripples
in the wake
shining brightly on this date.
The more I trust in Him,
the less mistakes I do make ...
and as the mistakes become less and less
to almost none,
I still hold onto this tightly
He who can’t be wrong ...
there are shimmering ripples
in the wake
shining brightly on this date.
So, who do I think I am,
telling you this, you this here?
The more I walk within His Light,
the less I fall into sin’s shadow ...
and the more I really do feel like
walking on water
treading ever so lightly
moonwalking a wave
less I splash into a second baptism.
Even though,
I know how to swim.
Go lightly, my friends, go lightly.
There are shimmering ripples
in the wake
shining brightly on this date.
