An Unconditional Love

A love that bears all things
We spit on his face-
the one whose hands have bore the nails for our sin
We turn away to seek the warm embrace of lovers arms
Only to find us that it leaves us with a bite of cold that keeps us seeking for more.

We turn away from
deny
slander
the name, whose alone BREATHES LIFE

Daily we drive the nails back into his flesh
sometimes with out a flinch
a bat of the eye

Instead of gratitude for what he's done
we live self-centeredly,
a for and to myself sor of life
when all he poured out was
compassion
mercy
grace

How long O Lord will you be silent?
When will your voice be heard in this desert place
When will this nation fall on their knees and pray and seek your face and turn from our wicked ways?

And though daily in my hand I hold the hammer
daily your arms are open wide for me to run into
to seek comfort
refuge
strength

Daily waiting to hear my voice,
and see my face,
to seek your firely love instead of my lovers cold embrace

For you are slow to anger and quick to love
slow to punsih and quick to heal

Let your healing waters wash over me
Let your love and mercy set me free
Let this love of mine intertwine with the veins of your heart
let what is yours become what is mine

I don't understand how time and time again you are there ready to greet me
you run out of the house
and hug me once more
even after prostituting myself and my inheritance
even though i drip of sweat that is not my own
