Plunging deeply into the well of yesteryear
Memories of sorrow and joy flood my indebted soul
Decades submerged in stubborn rebellion and sin
Meaningless blame games, pity parties, settling of scores
*****
Chasing whatever would silent the emptiness
Until that summer day when Love flooded my prison cell
Immersing my heart in amazing, divine grace
Making a lifelong pursuit of Love irresistible
*****
Love healing festering, putrid battlefield wounds
From the secret war waged by the enemy of my soul
Love’s grace birthing redemptive, freeing forgiveness
Betrayal, pain tossed into the sea of forgetfulness
*****
Dreams and desires soaked in Love’s precious promises
Zealously proclaiming, world my best days are yet to come
Courage to pursue, conquer the impossible
To awaken each morn knowing Love is my protector
*****
Love’s life lessons building a foundation of strength
That steadfastly withstands the ravages of time and man
Eternally grateful to my Love, Jesus Christ
This prodigal will eternally sing praises to Love
