The Savior

When you lay to waste all that you have built, And undo all that you have learned. When you are done wallowing in shame and guilt and see around you nothing but darkness; Come unto me and I will accept thee. When you find no place to hide and are overwhelmed by fear and despair, And in your heart of hearts you repent for your misdeeds; Come unto me and I will forgive thee. For you are born of me And unto me thou shalt return-- Meek as a lamb, Pure and fresh as a snowflake, Driven not by doubts or desires But by love and faith. For I will come once again with the message of hope, love and peace, Of harmony and brotherhood. I'll be born not of flesh and blood But of your hopes and aspirations, Not of the salt of any shore But of air and water. And I'll lead them all: Those with trust and faith And the unfortunates And the downtrodden And those who speak differently And those who see differently And those with different customs and creed. To them all I will bring the good tidings of Peace and Hope! ~03/21/2015 ~Contest: Inspirational Christian Poetry ~Sponsor: Regina McIntosh. ~"Resurrection of Christ" contest by Isaiah Zerbst
