Poems from Tonight

Watching this movie tonight and these thoughts just poured out.

What Do I Do

Knowing that I have done wrong
What do I do?
Knowing the covetous nature
Of my wounded heart
What do I do?
Do I pull a Judas?
And hang myself
Or worse yet
Do I continue to live?
With these little satans
Tempting me with
The very things or people
That I love.
Just like Judas
Do I self-destruct?
Or do I listen,
Listen to the voice of Truth
Praise God, I hear it!

I hear that all the pain
You suffered was for me
That I would not carry guilt
For the crap in my heart
Renew my mind
Tell me who’s I am
And at what cost
Was I bought
So Your goodness
Would lead me to
My love living for You





Love Living

Your life was love
Everyday love
So pure, so true
Put aside everything
Even for the whore
That found the meaning of love
At Your feet

May I love like You?
Putting aside my wants
For the good of the ones
I so easily say I love

What is love?
You alone know!
Love chooses to make all things new!
Love suffers long and is kind
Love doesn’t envy
Love doesn’t parade itself
And is not puffed

When I think of how rude
I have been to those
I say I love
Makes me want to cry

God, I cry for complete love
I’m tired of seeking my own good
Abba, I’m tired of getting angry
At the ones I say I love
Give me the love that never fails.
Jesus, You never fail.
Finish the work
You alone have begun

When You said,
“Take this bread”
“Take this wine”

You completed total love,
When You chose to lay down
Your life of love

Living love was You!
Living love is You!
Living love will always be You
