All about Love, Life, Relationships

Jesus,
You showered me with talents
Too much for me to handle
Almost all of them though
I wasted in the dark
So little if at all I shared
With others
Admittedly
So useless I’d been

Jesus,
You filled my life with too much strength
Yet I used it mostly
Take advantage of the weak
Extinguish their hope
Bludgeon their peace
Cripple their defenses
And their dignity
Shatter their innocence
What a beast I’d been

And yet we’ve always been together
Why for my soul’s sake haven’t you intervened
Or even just tapped my shoulder
You could have saved for me
A lifetime of pain
You could have been my
Greatest friend
And I your greatest lover

Jesus,
Is this the usual way you treat
A sinner
Leave him all alone freezing
To death in the cold

Didn’t you say you came for
The weary
The lost
The abandoned
The hungry
The naked
The sick
The helpless
The condemned
The persecuted

How come I never see you in their midst

Jesus,
Forgive me, Lord
All along I’d been totally
Deaf
Blind
Paralyzed
… dumb.
