from deep within us

our sin deeply rooted,
welling up, this bile, this poison,
from deep within us,
our nature, our DNA…
 
hiding beneath reason,
below conscious thought,
our flesh, our primordial self,
leads us away from God…
 
but God can redeem us,
He will gather us in,
like a lost sheep He pursues us,
God will bring us home…
