We all have a past,
filled with painful things
we all cringe . . .
at the memories they bring.
We all need to find,
God’s favor and grace
we all need God’s mercy
so the past we can face.
We all have feelings,
of resentment and ill-will
we all wince . . .
at how others make us feel.
We all need to find,
God’s healing peace
we all need God’s mercy
so our pain He can release.
We all have suffered,
the heartache of rejection
we all recoil . . .
when the past we mention.
We all need to find,
God’s way to forgiveness
we all need God’s mercy
so we can be rid of bitterness.
We all have a past,
filled with painful things
we all need God’s mercy
and the healing that it brings!

“Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help
in time of need.”

Thank you Deborah Ann. You are a blessing to many.
A young and tender reed was I,
In my mind fate threw the dice.
Hands buried deep, two tiny fists,
A shivering being in winter’s grip.
White icy frost, like crystal sleet
Deformed beneath my shoeless feet.
Through misty breaths, so far away,
Our humble home’s a distance place.
You came from nowhere suddenly,
A warming glow, Your loving care.
You took my hand, and softly said:
“I want to always walk with you.
I’ll be your coat; I’ll be your shoes.
And when you fall, I’ll comfort you.
In Me, you’ll always have a friend
If only you would choose Me too.”
And I chose Him. My savior and my God.
