Poetry

Go a little farther
Your face will hit the ground
That sound you hear
Is no one else is around

It is alone that you’ll be found
It’s a place that’s full of dread
Make no mistake
You’ve found the place of death

What is sacrificed is will
A precious and deadly thing
It’s surrender and demise
Oh what an exquisite sting

Oh death where is that sting
I know now that I’m not alone
He went before me
Took all our pain to atone

Now all of me
Is found in the all of Him
Made anew in His pain
And made clean from within

Just a little farther
A place alone and still
Not as I will
Your will…it is done.

Blood and tears
A cascade of sorrows
Falling onto the ground
There will be no tomorrows

Unlocked shame
A river of remorse
Dark canyons of sobbing
Too late to change course

Only that finger
Writing deeper than the dust
Oh towards what might have been
Renewing because He must

There’s no stone in His hand
He only reaches down today
Oh soul tremble
He is your only way

He hears your soul
That cry beyond such depths
He’s able and so willing
To release you from your debts

He has paid in full
His all for your worth
The ledger is accurate
Of what was written in dirt
