Vulnerable and angry
Inside pain’s door,
Broken and breathless
Couldn’t take it anymore
Shortcomings screaming
Body weary from the fight,
Tried to push You away
Wanted out of your sight
Your compassion so high,
Your love so deep,
I did not earn it
Yet, You rescued me
Burdened by repentance
I surrendered it all,
Clinging to your promises
I accepted the call
“Come and follow Me”
You offered in grace,
I accepted your hand
As You set me in rightful place
Now as a Daughter
You gently healed my heart,
Found You as Father
And received a fresh start
Tenderly hidden in dark
Truth bound my wounds,
Cultivating intercession
You expanded my heart’s rooms
No longer a clanging cymbal
Or a noisy gong,
You gave my heart
A brand new love song
The imperfect journey was worth it
Rescued, mended, and freed,
My reborn cry is now
“Here I am, Father, send me.”
