Even as we enter
the forty days of Lent
pain in his dying
palpable, within me
Knowing how undeserving
this cracked vessel
my life in the world
my feet certainly made of clay
That he would come
from heaven to earth
descending as a human
That he would go
from a throne, a king
to the cross, a criminal
His love so profound
more than I can imagine
my life so unworthy
for his redemption
Bowing in prayer
to think of these words
to even begin to utter
the power of his grace
