Love Unhindered.

--

This is a poem God gave me today....

Love Unhindered.

Chaos swirling ‘round my head
Clothed in black, tears of red
My heart confused, it knows not what-
Can mercy find me, in this spot?

Cowered under crimson shame
I hear the Saviour call my name
Timidly I take a peek, and gaze at his broken feet
He picks me up and kisses me, and makes his knee my mercy seat

I hide my face upon His chest
And pretend that I am deep in rest
I cannot bear to see his eyes-
For in them I glimpse my unspoken lies

In his voice, such sorrow speaks
I can hear his heart rend as he weeps
He sees how I became besot
He cries as he ponders what was lost

He slowly reaches through my chest
Takes the guilt, the pain, and leaves the rest
As a crown on his head he wears it all
And it disappears as the Blood begins to fall

Now he stands to pull me to my feet
I slowly lift my head, and our eyes meet
“My little girl I love you, you’ve been redeemed;
So walk, head held high- your heart I’ve freed.”

I fell to the ground, and deeply sobbed
As I realized the treasure, of which I’d been robbed
But again he lifted me up; Beloved, you’re fully restored
Just bask in my love and know you’re my jewel, whom I adore.”

He then lit up the sky with stars so bright
And showed me how purely he’d dressed me in white
He twirled me, and spun me; we danced away
Until the sun rose on the glorious mercy of a brand new day.
