Christ met me there
in the darkness coming
lost, confused
wandering into your church
crying as I was
sitting in the pew
not knowing where to turn
In the pit of my sin
anguish washing o’er me
estranged from God
from my true self
nothing I could do
nothing I could give
empty within
Christ met me there
in the darkened sanctuary
simply, completely,
loving even me
more than I can comprehend
what it meant, truly,
that He could descend
Choosing the cross
to become clay
empty of eternity
dying so I may live
out of the darkness
preparing a way
a path to the kingdom

Christ met me there

“No Price for His Love”
and reading comment after I posted it to

-------------------------
No Price for His
Love
More than we can
truly understand
that there is no
price for his love
God freely giving
all that I ever
need
even going to the
cross for me
paying my cost
with his life
the lamb, my
brother
no price do I owe
but my humble
praise
turning,
conforming my life to him
in thanksgiving to
my king
