The Face of Shame

Why do I still feel this way? This sadness does not go away Many years have passed, but I still Sit crying by the window sill I felt used for another's lust She was one who broke my trust I hold no anger towards her But feelings of hurt still lingers I feel dirty and unworthy Shameful passions stir within me I feel guilty and worthless Within me lies no goodness Does shame have a face, I wonder? Does it point an accusing finger? Where can I hide from disgrace? In the arms of God's loving grace! It's in the cross I find hope I cling to Christ, my sturdy rope He hung on the cross in shame He has given me a new name There will be a day without tears A day when I'm free from all fears God will guide me safely home In Him, I'm never alone
