living in the shadows – v2

living in shadows
in harms unspoken
of wounds never seen
of wounds never healed
those too deep to reveal…
 
lost years of torment, of pain,
of struggle, of torment,
of wounds never healed,
separated hearts, aching,
never quite the same…
 
hearts joined but
set apart, silent,
never fully together
never bound as intended
scripture unfulfilled…
 
lost years of anguish, of pain,
unspoken scar tissue, struggle,
lost time to the Enemy, to Satan,
separated from one another,
separated from God…

What have you done – 2

not just words of scripture,
spoken by God to Cain,
words of accusation, power,
when he took life in his hands…
 
“what have you done”,
words that echo, that sting,
when we think of the hurt we cause,
against God, against man…
 
we too are selfish, jealous,
like Cain we sin, we stray,
we get angry with one another,
we walk, we run away…
 
God could condemn us,
each one of us born on earth,
but God made a way to redeem us,
to give us eternal life…

cursed by their sin

walking in the dust
cast out of the Garden
all of humanity from that moment
cursed by their sin…
 
no longer living in harmony,
abiding with our Creator,
knowledge of evil remaining,
baked into our DNA…
 
their choices in the Garden,
to eat, to be disobedient,
a curse upon all generations,
our separation from God…
 
a manifestation of free will,
a moment of extreme anguish,
a curse upon all of us,
forever, for all time…

a battle within my body – v2

a challenge every day
a present time of struggle,
a battle within my body
my spirit and my flesh
the paradox of free will…
 
a war as in the Garden
of good versus evil,
wanting to walk with You
but my brokenness fails me,
I walk, I run away…
 
a battle within my body
an ancient war raging
the essential nature of man,
our spirit and our flesh,
seeking the upper hand…

constant companions

constant companions
burdens, demons,
sin and death
my guilt and shame…
 
I am broken, in chaos,
I give in to my flesh,
the burdens I carry,
my guilt and shame…
 
constant companions,
God, Holy Spirit,
rise within me,
defeat my guilt, my shame…
 
I am broken, I struggle,
But You meet me here,
cleanse me, heal me,
of my guilt and shame…

hiding my sin

here in Your garden
the paradise You created
but hiding, ashamed,
aware of my nakedness
my disobedience, my sin…
 
hiding my sin, my shame,
my nakedness before You,
but so aware You know me,
that I can hide nothing from You,
for You are Almighty God…
 
Like Adam and Eve,
I run from You, I hide,
my shame ever before me,
here, before You, Lord,
there is nowhere to hide…

The Silence of Saturday – v2

The week’s work not yet finished,
not yet the victory of Easter,
the joy of our Sunday,
when the Christ rose from the dead…
 
We are still in mourning,
the silence of Saturday,
after the sorrow of the Passion,
the darkness in the garden,
His death upon the cross…
 
Numbed, being present,
knowing our Savior,
suffered and died,
and that He spent this day,
in the tomb, the cold ground,
descended to the dead…

The #tomb of that #silence – v2

Numb to the terror they witnessed,
fearing for their own lives, their breath,
Life so quickly taken from their Master,
their Lord, the Messiah, God incarnate,
tortured, nailed to the awful cross…
 
In the tomb of silence, their hope buried,
with Christ in the borrowed grave,
fearing for their own lives, their breath,
Bodies turned to dust, to nothingness,
numb, not knowing what to do…

Stealing the Breath of God – v3

I conspired with all of them, complicit,
my silence, my sin, my rebellion,
taking life from my Creator,
the body of the living Jesus,
stealing the breath of God…
 
Nailed to my cross, the tree, the Christ,
held there until He couldn’t breathe,
stealing the Breath of God,
the One thing that makes us human,
rising from dust, the earth…
 
I conspired with all of them, complicit,
my silence, my sin, my rebellion,
taking life from my Creator,
the body of the living Jesus,
stealing the breath of God…
