Selah

[Green Berean]

This is my latest, which I completed last year. It's a combination of a few smaller ones that actually came together quite well. It was untitled for the longest time.



Selah



Sitting and staring

Noisy and blaring

The battle rages within

I have come to the conclusion

That my victory is illusion

And I am yet a creature of sin


I am fallen and beaten

battered, bruised, defeated

I am patently unwise

Maker of my own demise

Doesn't matter about the rest

When looking up from the depths


Huddled and crying

Bleeding and dying

I come to the end of

trying to fight my way through

Rooted in darkness

I am accomplice

to evil in the sight of You


In the blackest of night

Evil's manifestation

Falls before light

Illuminates the way of salvation!


Beauty for ashes

As death passes

into life evermore

When love smashes

through 39 lashes

God dashes to settle the score!


Now I yield and am made to kneel

before a love that is so real

Not like any I've ever known before

This love is real, it will steal

Away your heart forevermore

So holy and so pure!
