Welcome Home

In the hour of my greatest need,

When my rage has been spent,

And my selfishness,

Profanity,

Lovelessness,

Anger,

Lying,

Cheating,

Lawlessness,

Single mindedness,

And my quest, in all the wrong ways, for love,

Stands alone.

When the darkness is my greatest achievement,

Still,

I AM FORGIVEN.

I AM LOVED.

 

This is senseless to me.

It belies comprehension.

It demands exploration.

And after all,

Remains senseless and incomprehensible

Except for the words I hear

As I lay wounded and trodden upon

By my own sin,

"Welcome home. Be at rest."
