when I looked with disgust at myself.
You gently shook me
until the chains fell one by one.
Your light burst forth
as darkness overcame me.
Your truth kissed the wounds
where the lies cut deep.
When I said "worthless,"
You called me Your own.
When I fell faint,
You fought for me.
When I felt abandoned,
You said you have never forgotten me.
When I covered my face in shame,
You said, "Look to me, Beloved."
Death has lost his hold on me as I cling to my First Love.
What other love is as good, as true as this?
It cannot be contained.
All for Jesus.
