We have burdened God

Lest we forget the facts
while we acknowledge grace
we must also remember
that we turn away
we violated God’s commands
we have burdened God
the weight of our sin upon him
a cloak upon his shoulders
in the pit of our darkness
only the gift of grace
the mantle of God’s love
only the cross of Jesus
can wipe our sin away
