A Gift Neglected

I suppose I should have known better
Hoping that gift which was lost would return
Now my hopes are torn asunder
Another lesson both lived and learned

It has been claimed, and now I must agree
One knows not the gift he has 'til it's gone
And now, do trust me, for I see
While in this circumstance alone

In my human frailty, finiteness, and sin
I failed to act with wisdom and grace
Instead of clarity,...

Joshua

Savior

A Savior sent to crush the crown
Of the Serpent and his deceit
This Deliverer hath fully wrought
And rendered Death’s defeat

From Moses to David, Isaiah to Paul
Their words proclaimed and known
‘Tis Jesus, I AM, Who connecteth them all
‘Tis Christ’s great glory made known

Fallen men, who once lay spent,
This God hath made alive
Hearts of stone, He turned to flesh
To prepare His Son a Bride
...

Joshua

Broken and Sinful People

I love broken people. I love those who find themselves in seemingly no-way-out circumstances of darkness and despair, even though they were full of hope just the day before. I love those who fall, fail, and stumble even though they know better- and hate themselves for it. I love those who are overtaken by sorrow, even though they can't quite put a finger on why they feel such a way. I love broken people. I am a broken person.

I love sinful people....

Joshua
