I open wide the bolted door
And show all there is to see
I sweep the mess up off the floor
And pray am earnest plea
I tell the secrecy of my soul
And let loose the demon from my mind
I watch another pay the toll
And Grace is what I find
I break down walls of insecurity    
And display my secret fears
I’ve held true to my impurity
And cried so many tears
I take a breath and hold it in
And ask God to make me bold
I take step and dive on in
And I keep my stronghold
I grasp at all that comes my way
And dismiss every echo of reason
I finally see the light of day
And I’ve been saved from every season

Screamin,

I like your poem because it holds the tension that exists between the wretch we are and the delivered one we are.

Love,
LayItDown

Good write...Reminds me of my favorite song "Dive"

There is only one kind of love but there a thousand different versions ~The time when you saw only one set of footprints, that was when I carried you

I'm so thankful, and grateful He is there to listen, and He's faithful in doing that. I loved this. All honor, and GLORY goes to Him, and rightfully so. Thanks so much for sharing this plea to Him.
It's so human to fall, and then He's gracious and understands, and loves us even in our weaknesses!!

May love and light always shine upon you!
