Growing Pains

If any good came from loving true

but falling short

its in this verse honouring You

Surrendered, taught

reaching up beyond my sighs

where truth is chiselled into sense

Can darkened shutters recompense?

Time and purse no longer vie

so uncontended now I’ve died

to selfish pride and suffered lies

alone

 

The harm I caused not loving true

the way one ought

is harmonised now, reflects You

fullfilled, sought

redeemed from the lie

Darkness to experience

Suffering wrought repentance

Crime and worse no longer imply

damning dirges inside

Our Lamb arose, 'It’s finished' His cry

'Atone!'
