Reconciled

RECONCILED I’ve stumbled in my walk with You Grumbled when I’ve talked to You, Ambled steps away from You, Humbled, now I pray to You. Jesus! I don’t deserve Your grace! Hard to look upon Your face, Knowing what You’ve done to erase The black from my heart. Jesus! I don’t deserve Your love! These unearned blessings from above, God touched you with His pure white dove So we’d know You are His heart. I’ve walked away when You’ve come through, I balked away the Bible’s truth, Ignored the seeds You’d sown in me, Got tossed around a violent sea - Forgive me, Lord, please set me free! So right now I come to You, On my knees to worship You! Cause through Your blood I’m made anew, All my life I’ll strive for You! Thank You, Lord, I feel Your hand, Upon my life, in Your command. I will do what You demand: Follow your Word, pursue Your plan. Help me, Father, the rest of the way, You are the sculptor, I am the clay, Form me into what You will Help me know You! Increase my fill! Jesus! I praise You for Your grace! I can look upon Your face, Knowing Your power has erased The soot from my heart. Jesus! I stand in awe of Your love! Tilt my face to you above, And know when push comes to shove You live in my heart. And in these days as I grow old, It’s Your Word that takes ahold, Inside my heart, inside my soul, Your promises have made me whole. So when I see You on that day, I’ll know it’s You, Lord, I’ll know the way, I’ve heard Your voice, I am Your child, Finally come to You, reconciled. Suzanne L. Arbil April 2019 Walnut Creek, CA
