The Kindness of God

In Lo-debar

I was just lame there

So crippled

so sad

and so poor.

In fear of my life with no answers

My future so bleak and unsure.

“Where are you

” came the sweetest voice

“I love you

I’ll care for your need!

Come

enjoy this feast at My table here.

I have covered your poor crippled feet.”

This world fills my heart not with pleasure

But hunger and much anxious care.

What joy

in the midst of my suff’ring

My Christ came and saved me from there.

At first I was fearful and fled Him

Why would He seek someone like me?

But calling my name

He disarmed me

His voice warm

compassionate

sweet.

It’s here I forget my condition

And failure my standard to meet.

I see only Christ in His richness

And worship my Lord at His feast!
