Redeemer / Lover
You took me in-
just as I was
Into your heart;
Into your home.
I, whose sin and shame
made me an outcast
I took your love
and trampled it underfoot,
Running back to my old ways
back to the sins that had me bound.
I broke your heart
and thought only of myself.
When I was at my worst
you came and redeemed me-
paid the price for my freedom -
I who was not worth
the least of your favor.
Your forgiveness and grace
filled my heart with love.
I, Gomer, am loved and redeemed.

That was great. Maybe I will try one just for myself.

Gomer's story just makes me avert my eyes. Am I not she?
Wonderful, friend.
Linda, thank you for sharing these words with us. Sometimes I am just amazed at the grace that the Lord gives me when the reality is that I am so undeserving of it. That's what I call amazing grace! {hugs}
Very nice poem here...
