promise to hold my heart
when it becomes untethered from
Your grace and love.
i’ve reached the end of myself…..


and there’s nowhere left to turn
but You.
i’ve tried steering
this ship called life but
it’s time for You to take the lead.

Laziness uncondoned but
"This thing" gives you an edge
Even when you're not the best
"This thing" gets you chosen
In my life, it's been proven

"This thing" comes from on High
And it puts you in high places
It sets you on high tables
It unexpectedly open doors
Some folks call it luck
But I know it as GRACE.

my fingers caress
its broken wings, fluttering
i lay it to rest.
James Apr 2019
What if the world was perfect?
What if man never fell?
What if the serpent had no lie to tell?
There would be no enemy to resist;
But I would cease to exist.
No sorrow to feel, but no deal to seal.
No stumbling block,
But no promised Rock.
I thank the Lord for the way it is:
For this broken world, which is still His
God sent Christ to die, to take our sins away;
But raised Him again that glorious third day!
Here I am, a child of the King;
my sins forgiven, what a wonderful thing!
I walk this path, close to the Lord, He my shield and portion be.
Life You've brought to me, because of the blood of the sacrificial Lamb.
Wings like eagles You have given me:
From the enemy my God has delivered me!
Thank You, for the cross Lord.
The Lord is so great, and merciful beyond imagination. Give your heart to Him, and ask our Father in heaven to give you His grace. To forgive your sins because of what Jesus has done for you.

"How that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." -1 Corinthians 15:3-4
The endless mercy of her love
is a sustaining salvation.
Her judgment of my feeble soul—
the most awesome revelation.  

Her love is a merciful hand
to the undeserved in despair.
She judged my woeful heart’s intent
and placed her absolution there.

She cannot love without mercy,
as the living depend on rain.
She judged my spirit perfectly.
Her kindness washed away my pain.

The mercy with which she loves me—
the greatest blessing one can give.
Her judgment’s better than my own,
it makes the world in which I live.
The ancient Jewish tradition is that the world was founded on mercy and judgment because the world could not survive on either alone. She makes my world possible with both.

I don’t understand why love should save.
It’s sinking still
Stills of whiskey, mellow bitter.
Metal tinned, heavy and satisfying
It makes you weep and rage and sleep.
Aching toes and numb cheeks, silent sobbing into your pillow
For reasons that haven’t come to you yet.
Do you feel saved? For numbness? Dripping
Gaping mouths, searching.
Am I talking about love or a monster?
We can’t tell.
I won’t argue with results, fact sheets still dripping romantic slurs
But I will argue that saving is not what you think it is. Mercy
Is not what you think you’ve made it.

when it drips from his mouth
and splatters on the floor
painting his room like a ****** sunrise
and the light begins to watch his dance
from left to right
circles and circles, words and pleas
And he wrote on his wall in purple ink:

"Mercy is a kind man, his hands are warm and soft
he holds you like a child, he'll wrap you in a cloth
and when it's cold and dreary, and the howling doesn't cease
he'll toss you in his chamber, so the wolves can finally feast."
