#God helps the #broken

God helps the broken


God helps the broken,

the outcast, the sinner,

God helps each one of us

rise from our pit.


The ancient wisdom a lie,

placing a burden, a curse,

the truth of the driven, the powerful -

God helps those who help themselves.”


So arrogant, overstated,

the privileged, the righteous

casting their neighbors

into the dust, the pit.


The real truth different, hopeful,

from the well of God’s loving;

God helps those with no chance to help themselves

the unrighteous, each one of us.


God loves the sinner, the repentant,

the downtrodden, the broken;

thankfully, God helps

the unrighteous, each one of us.
