UNSENT LETTERS

Lord you laid down your life for me I am not worthy to even kiss your feet Dusty words used on repeat seem weak Unopened letters from heavy heart bleeds I am so full of sin and selfishness How can I write you when I am Lost in the darkness of my worldly ways Like a bat I hang upside down Blinded by your light but praising you Christ For the calligraphy of your heart Wrote liquid loving words of faith Your sacrifice saved my soul my life And I am grateful yet blind As to what word I can find Great enough to describe you How can I pray when words get in the way Can I dance you a note Filled with the Holy Ghost Can turquoise tears I shed Be a poem my eyes write Each time I sin is like Nailing you again to the cross What letters can hearts write To heal your wombs The elephant in the room Without you all are doomed Thank you for forgiveness Thank you for knowing me Better than I know myself I throw myself at your feet Asking you to read my heart

"Thank you for knowing me/ Better than I know myself/ I throw myself at your feet/ Asking you to read my heart." How true it is. God knows us better than we know ourselves. This last stanza is the crown of the poem. Our Lord is so merciful. If we have repentance, He will forgive all our sins. Love the whole poem. Into my FAVE

Agreed. A famous Michael Jackson song is Man in the Mirror and I love that he says that we have to look at ourselves and make a change! Thanks for sharing Pangie

We would be deserving of our fate tied to our sin. I appreciate your reading Tom! I struggle to find words for religious poems because my words are not good enough to magnify the lord!
