"We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods. This I declare, that He is alone my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I am trusting Him."
Psalm 91: 1-2
I have been handed my heavy burden,
finally, I accept it willingly,
to my Lord and Savior, the Most Supreme,
I harbor no animosity
In my lifeltime I have cried,
until the tears that fell were silenced,
everytime my eyes burn I do not feel ashamed,
for they remind me to whom I am most reliant
And when I stood upon the weeping shore,
watching pensively as my pride washed like a sandcastle
into an unforgiving sea,
never once did I utter,
EVEN ME LORD?
Yes, even me,
for pride cometh before the cool winds of fall, eventually
I have been both loved and loathed, yes I have,
many times simultaneously,
but those whom I have embraced
know, in their hearts, I love them unconditionally
In my lifetime I have bled internally,
still, I walked casually in the blood of Christ,
never acknowledging His grace upon me,
And when I was left alone upon my knees,
without a shred of decency,
never once did I utter,
EVEN ME LORD?
yes, even me,
for dark times must come before
the dawning of His Majesty
Both proud and humble yet mortal am I,
refusing to die,
fighting to live,
giving more to those who take,
yet still more I will gladly give,
for when my last day is dawning
and the frowning and fawning ones have dispersed,
I will be left with only a verse
from His scripture to comfort me,
EVEN ME LORD!
yes, even me,
my unquenchable joy in your presence is all I need,
I only pray to pass before my child,
and have time to make recompense to all those I have deceived,
EVEN ME LORD?
yes, even me
I have received much,
only to squander the most lovely parts of me,
I have allowed a child named Darwin with an innocent smile,
to evolve into a man full of anger and hostility
In my lifetime I have cursed love,
yes I admit, I have cursed love continuously,
yet now when I am prepared to receive true love,
its belssings have eluded me
And when I thought I was speaking righteously,
I allowed my false pride to drown my message
in a sea on pompsosity,
EVEN ME LORD?
yes, even me,
for a man without a villiage can only speak in silent soliloquy
Accept my praise oh Lord for your glorious power
leaves me trembling in place,
never have I been disappointed when I sought your aid,
never have you disgraced,
like a loving Father I you have broken me down,
to build me up,
reminding me that despite the inevitable setbacks
my cup
runneth over with blessings waiting to be received,
EVEN ME LORD!
yes, even me,
until my lifetime ends I will recite the Apostles' Creed,
TO BELIEVE IN ONE GOD,
THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
the sole determiner of my worth,
even in those times I've cursed
your Holy Name and arrogantly ignored the blessings I have recieved,
STILL, you love,
EVEN ME LORD?
YES!
EVEN
ME
