Forgiveness

How long will I wallow in the filth of my shame??

How long will allow myself to remain in darkness??

I have sinned against You alone.

The one who has loved me the most;

The one who has healed my heart, mind, body, and soul. 

I'm afraid...

Your anger is more than I can bear, 

but I know, I've always known

Your loving kindness lasts forever long.

No matter how I have hurt You

You have never stopped loving me

You have never stopped forgiving me

& all I have to offer You

is a beautiful, broken Hallelujah in praise to You.

 Because, You have never given up on me 

no matter how unworthy I am. 

You have reached through the darkness,

You have pulled me up out of my pit of shame.

Thank You, Lord 

(though I will never understand)

for always fighting for me.
