Road To Sainthood
muffled cry's escaped my lips
incoherent speech repeated words
until tears dried on cheeks
repentance achieved, forgiven
transgression cast from mind and soul
released from one more burden of pain
His thought in my head digs up the past
reminding me of the me I was back then
oh the horror and shame, did I really do that?
an instant replay of me floods my brain
squatting down curling up in fetal position
it throws me off balance with blatant truth
crushing me to my knees, head in hands
my breath escapes me as I scream for His help
but sound never gives voice to my pleas
I'm terrified and amazed for, He comes to me!
Me, a sinner breaking commandments
he accepts me, into his arms washing me clean
baptized in His presence, surrounded by love
He is my shepherd and I am one of his flock
